YOC AG Reports Accelerated Revenue Growth in Q2 2025 Based on Preliminary Figures
BERLIN - June 23, 2025 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - According to preliminary IFRS figures, the Ad Tech company YOC AG (Frankfurt, Prime Standard, ISIN: DE0005932735) generated consolidated revenues of approximately EUR 17.0 million to EUR 17.2 million in the first half of 2025, representing an increase of around 10% compared to the same period of the previous year (H1/2024: EUR 15.5 million). Following modest growth of 3% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior-year period, reaching EUR 7.3 million (Q1/2024: EUR 7.1 million) despite a generally declining market, the company now anticipates accelerated revenue growth of 15% to 18% in the current second quarter, amounting to between EUR 9.7 million and EUR 9.9 million. The initial months of fiscal year 2025 were characterized by a slowdown in the growth of the European advertising market. Broader macroeconomic uncertainty led to a notable decline in advertisers' willingness to invest. Despite this environment, YOC AG achieved revenue growth in Q2/2025 that clearly outpaced the overall development of the European digital advertising market. This performance was primarily driven by the consistent advancement and scaling of YOC's programmatic trading platform VIS.X(R), which has benefited from continuous technological innovation and increased automation of advertising workflows. These enhancements have significantly improved monetization potential across the platform. The company's revenue performance in the first half of 2025 is in line with its full-year guidance. Sebastian Bauermann, CFO of YOC AG, commented: "YOC's continued growth trajectory is the result of enhanced trading capabilities of our programmatic trading platform VIS.X(R). At the same time, we are seeing rising demand for our AI-powered product solutions. We expect to maintain positive revenue momentum throughout the remainder of 2025." YOC AG will publish its half-year financial report on August 18, 2025. ABOUT YOC YOC is a technology company that develops software for the digital advertising market. With the help of our programmatic trading platform VIS.X(R), we enable an optimal advertising experience for advertisers, publishers, and internet and mobile application users. Advertisers using VIS.X(R) and YOC's attention-grabbing ad formats have the opportunity to increase brand and product visibility in conjunction with high-quality ad inventory. Renowned premium publishers offer global media reach and benefit from the high monetization of our VIS.X(R) platform. The company has been a pioneer in mobile advertising since 2001 and has been listed on the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 2009.

EDITORIAL: Energy independence is true 'nation building'
While it's a long way from making us an energy superpower, the start-up on Sunday of Canada's first large-scale liquified natural gas plant in Kitimat, B.C., capable of shipping beyond the U.S. market, is a welcome first step. LNG Canada, a joint venture of Shell PLC, Petronas, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corp. and Kogas began production Sunday, according to the Reuters news agency, with its first tanker shipment for export scheduled for the middle of this year. That it has taken this long to get an LNG plant online, capable of shipping our natural gas abroad, when we are the world's fifth-largest producer and sixth-largest exporter of natural gas — but until now only to the U.S., meaning it has to be sold at a huge discount — is disappointing. It has also cost our economy billions of dollars annually. This even as many countries, including Ukraine, Germany, Poland, Greece, South Korea and Japan, have expressed an interest in buying Canadian LNG after Russia, a major producer and exporter, invaded Ukraine in February 2022, putting its continued supplies in doubt. With two smaller Canadian LNG export facilities by Woodfibre LNG and Cedar LNG now under construction and expected to be completed between 2027 and 2028, Canadians will now have real-world examples of whether these plants are economically viable or not, as critics claim. Meanwhile, Canada's Trans Mountain pipeline — built by the federal government at a cost of $34 billion, five times the original estimate — remains Canada's only way to ship Canadian oil to Asia and other international markets, while also supplying the U.S. This despite the fact that Canada is the world's fourth-largest producer and third-largest exporter of crude oil, again costing our economy billions of dollars annually because most of it is sold to the Americans at a huge discount. EDITORIAL: Woe, Canada: No day to celebrate EDITORIAL: Whose rights prevail in 'nation-building'? Oil and natural gas infrastructure should be among the 'nation-building' projects Prime Minister Mark Carney's government earmarks for green-lighting because, until now, the lengthy regulatory process for approving them has discouraged private investors. Given the massive loss to the Canadian economy that has resulted from this, it's time we stopped cutting our own economic throats by expanding global access to our oil and gas resources and making ourselves less dependent on the United States.
