With entirely organic revenue growth of 16.7%, LeGuide.com continued its sustained progress in 2010.
Regular revenue growth
In the fourth quarter of 2010, LeGuide.com took in €7.7 million in revenue, a 14% increase on the same period in 2009.
Over the whole year, Group revenue amounted to €26.8 million (unaudited), compared to €23 million in 2009.
The click-based business model again represented the lion’s share of revenue (93%), with additional revenue (advertising, sponsored links, etc.) growing at a similar pace.
This growth took place against a difficult international backdrop, marked notably by the finalisation of dooyoo's integration into the Group.
More than 15 million unique visitors in Europe
This revenue growth is accompanied by an increased audience that reached 7.2 million unique visitors in France* and 15.1 million in Europe** in November 2010, an increase of 16%.
LeGuide.com boasts 67,000 e-merchants, up 17% compared to one year ago, 135 million offers and 1.5 million members.
Outlook
This growth dynamic should be accompanied by increased profitability for 2010 as a whole.
In 2011, the Group intends to continue its profitable organic growth trend and carry out targeted acquisitions.
