Mr. Jean-Baptiste Descroix-Vernier, the Founding President of
Rentabiliweb, states: "In barely 36 months, Rentabiliweb has
succeeded in considerably modernizing its product line and
preparing itself for the future. The performance and synergy of the
tools offered to merchants have helped sustain strong growth. The
strategic growth model we have chosen pays off."
Half-yearly results: an excellent first
semester
The consolidated turnover of the Rentabiliweb Group stands at
€38.5m, up 14% on the first half of 2014, thanks to a very good
second quarter, which saw an increase of 25% compared to Q2 2014
and sequential growth of 17% (compared to Q1 2015).
B to B now represents nearly 60% of total Group turnover.
EBIT for the first half of 2015 stands at €1.7m, up 63% on H1
2014. The EBIT margin thus increased by 1.4 percentage points. This
significant increase results from the combined effect of a €0.5m
rise in B to B EBIT and stable B to C EBIT. This double-digit
growth was realized (i) in a difficult global market situation for
B to C and (ii) in a context of continued investment effort to
accelerate development of B to B activities.
B to B division : a fast development
B to B division consists of three complementary activities
designed to increase the revenue of retailers (online and offline)
:
- Payment by credit card (Be2bill)
optimizes transaction on the Internet, mobile, tablet and physical
payment terminal.
- Direct marketing boosts sales and
increases customer loyalty
- Telecom activities provide interactive
services to merchants and allowing them to stay in touch with their
clients
The B to B division turnover stands at €22.5m, up 49% on H1
2014, continuing to grow during the two quarters compared to the
two 2014 quarters (+42% in Q1 and +52% in Q2). The division also
shows strong sequential growth (+19% in Q2 2015 compared to Q1
2015).
Be2bill have three main activities: VAD (distance selling via
the Internet), mobile and physical shops.The VAD activity is the
pole which required the heaviest investments in the years 2012,
2013 and 2014. The physical shops area was launched in October 2014
simultaneously with the mobile payment.The first half of 2015 marks
the equilibrium point (break-even) of VAD France, now
profitable.
Over 2500 stores now use our Be2bill bank card payment system.
Nearly 5500 merchants use at least one of the systems provided by
Rentabiliweb, whether for payment, marketing or telecom.
Thanks to the high number of signatures achieved, the Run Rate
for the first half of 2015 stands at €1.04bn, despite the decision
taken by Be2bill to close a key customer account (€263m of annual
business) for prudential reasons.
Telecom activity is also showing sustained growth, in particular
as regards AVS (Added Value Services).
The B to B division EBIT stands at -€1.2m in the first half of
2015, up €0.5m on H1 2014. This includes a non-recurring loss of
€0.8m.
B to C division: high operating margins are sustained
B to C turnover stands at €16.1m, down 15% on H1 2014.
Continued high gross operating margins, combined with reduced
operating charges (-€1.4m) have resulted in stable EBIT, compared
to H1 2014, of €4.6m. The EBIT margin has increased significantly,
up 4 percentage points to 28.5%.
Corporate division: expenses under control
Corporate division EBIT is up €0.2m, a 12% increase on H1 2014.
This variation is due in particular to rigorous control of
expenditure, as well as certain non-recurring 2014 charges, such as
the setting up of a key subsidiary in Amsterdam.
A robust financial
situation
The Group has closed the first half of 2015 in a very healthy
financial situation.
Indeed, on 30 June 2015, surplus cash stood at €12.3m, up €2m
compared to 31 December 2014.The €12.3m of surplus cash breaks down
as follows:
- €6.2m of cash on Group accounts;
- €6.1m of cash on the Electronic
Payments holding account.
Equity amounted to €75m on 30 June 2015.
The group Rentabiliweb is 100% self-financing as regards its
investments and has no debt and no off balance sheet.
Outlook
Rentabiliweb is continuing its strategy of gaining market share
in France and intends to expand abroad in the short term.The group
upholds its installed Run Rate ambition for 31 December 2015 of
between €1.5bn and €1.7bn, together with a signed Run Rate of
between €2.6bn and €3bn.
