Our ability to adapt and optimise ensures we remain well-positioned for future growth Short-term recalibration is essential for long-term success. By focusing on high-quality revenue streams, AI-driven efficiencies, and strategic cost discipline, we are building a leaner, more resilient business primed for sustainable growth 2024 was a year of strategic transformation-expanding AI-driven monetisation, increasing direct advertiser relationships, and enhancing our tech stack to drive efficiency. Our Domains, Identity & Software and Comparison segments outperformed expectations, setting the stage for further expansion in 2025 CEO Comment Michael Riedl, CEO of Team Internet, commented:"The internet is in a state of constant reinvention, and so is Team Internet. 2024 brought its share of challenges, we didn't just adapt-we evolved and delivered a robust financial performance. Our product comparison and identity solutions are scaling rapidly, proving that the Group's strategic diversification pays off. The Search segment's difficult reset in 2025 in response to recent market developments is the acceleration of a long-anticipated pivot, not, the board believes, a permanent setback. We are re-engineering the business, focusing on efficiency, high-value traffic, and AI-powered content generation to drive a leaner, smarter, and more sustainable model. By 2026, we expect to be back to double-digit EBITDA growth, fuelled by innovation, automation, and relentless execution. Team Internet remains a key enabler of the infrastructure of digital commerce across domains, e-commerce and digital marketing."
