conVISUAL, Oberhausen-based full service provider for interactive viewer
services, has recorded a strong increase in turnover and a improvement of
all relevant operating figures. In 2005, conVISUAL generated a turnover of
EUR 9.6 million, which is an improvement of around 50%, compared to the
turnover of EUR 6.4 million generated in 2004.
The EBITDA could be raised from minus EUR 1.03 million, achieved in the
previous year, to minus EUR 0.51 million. The annual deficit was improved
by EUR 0.9 million to minus EUR 0.15 million.
The biggest part of the turnover with EUR 6.4 million was generated in the
business field ‘Enabling Services’, through realization of Premium SMS, SMS
and MMS campaigns for customers from media and telecommunication industry.
The lucrative product area ‘Mobile Applications’, including download and
messaging services as well as the strategic growth segment “Mobile
Interactive TV“, had an approximate share of EUR 2.7 million in the overall
turnover. Because of conVISUAL’s strong market position in this segment,
its interactive viewer services have been used by big TV broadcasters, e.g.
ARD (ARD Morning Show), ProSieben (‘Sarah and Marc in Love’, ‘Die
Abschlussklasse’), RTL II (‘Big Brother’) and MTV (‘Get the Clip’).
‘Content Licensing’ made a contribution of EUR 0.5 million to the positive
business development.
In 2006, conVISUAL will extend its product and service portfolio and open
up further markets, in particular, the North American market. The special
focus will be put on TV projects with interactive viewer services. Europe’s
lead over the United States in the mobile telecommunication sector offers
very good market opportunities for conVISUAL.
For 2006, the managing board expects a significant increase in turnover,
compared to the year before. The results of 2006 will be negative.
