Q3 highlights:

• On 4 September 2023, the Group announced its rebranding from CentralNic Group to Team Internet Group and effective that same day, the Group's shares commenced trading under the ticker "TIG". At a general meeting held on 28 September 2023, a resolution was passed to change the Company's name from CentralNic Group Plc to Team Internet Group Plc, a change which has now been confirmed by Companies House
• The Group continued to trade at least in line with current market expectations during the period, driven by ongoing market share gains of its proprietary privacy-safe, AI-based customer journeys which address a multi-billion-dollar opportunity
• In the Online Marketing segment, the number of visitor sessions increased by 36% to 5.6 billion for TTM 2023 from 4.1 billion for the trailing twelve-month period ended 30 September 2022 ("TTM 2022"). Revenue per thousand sessions ("RPM") decreased by 7% from USD 104 to USD 97, continuing to outperform the market
• The Online Presence segment again posted its highest ever organic revenue growth, 17% TTM 2023 compared to 4% for TTM 2022
• Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net revenue has increased to 50% for September 2023 YTD from 48% for September 2022 YTD, demonstrating that Team Internet's growth continues to translate into operating leverage
• Zeropark, Team Internet's Commerce Media Tech business, announced three strategic partnerships: First, becoming a Tier 1 Demand Partner of Sovrn, a leading publisher technology platform. Second, a significant deal with booking.com, the global online travel agency. Third, Klarna, the Buy Now Pay Later platform has become a direct publisher on the Zeropark network
• Voluum, Team Internet's flagship ad tracker, announced the launch of a new integration with popular e-commerce platform Shopify, allowing customers to directly feed conversion data from their Shopify stores into Voluum, bolstering their ad, product, and page performance

Post period end highlights:

• Launch of Team Internet AG's Adsolutely product, seamlessly integrating tailored ad feeds into the digital space, discarding the intrusive nature of native ads. Adsolutely's state-of-the-art technology resonates with the target audience's interests through advanced keyword pairing, offering users total control over contextual ads and related terms, while handling the intricacies of optimisation
• The Group's performance marketing business Codewise has been rebranded to "Commerce Media Tech", reflecting our mission to help advertisers connect with their ideal customers
• Simon McCalla joined Team Internet as the new CEO of our Online Presence division. Simon's experience as a senior leader at blue chip companies both within and beyond the domain name industry make him a great fit to lead Online Presence into the future
• Team Internet initiated an ESG alliance between leading partners along the domain name value chain at ICANN78 in Hamburg in October 2023

Outlook:

Team Internet delivered another strong performance during September 2023 YTD across both its Online Marketing and Online Presence segments, delivering organic revenue growth of 19% on a TTM 2023 pro forma basis. The Group has maintained its strong operating leverage, as demonstrated by Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net revenue being 50% for September 2023 YTD (48% September 2022 YTD).

The material expansion of the Company's share buyback programme announced on 3 July 2023, alongside the cash flow waterfall model as described on page 14 in the 2022 Annual Report, is primarily being funded by continued strong operating cash generation. To date, the Company has bought back 16.7m shares under its programme at a cumulative cost of GBP 20.7m. GBP 13.3m remains available for the remainder of the programme.

The Group looks ahead with confidence to Q4, which is typically its strongest quarter, and the Directors expect that the Group will continue to deliver results at least in line with current market expectations for the full year.*****

Results presentation:

There will be a webinar/conference call for equity analysts at 09.30am GMT today, and for private client investment managers at 11am GMT. Both events will be hosted by CEO Michael Riedl and CFO William Green.

Further, an Investor Meet Company session will be held at 1pm GMT today: https://investormeetcompany.com/Team Internet-group-plc/register-investor

Michael Riedl, CEO of Team Internet, commented: "I am pleased to report that the Group has continued its strong organic revenue growth in Q3 2023, building on the record results achieved in 2022. This growth was driven by both operating segments, reflecting the strength of our product portfolio. Leveraging this position, the Group is primed for a strong finish in Q4, traditionally our highest revenue quarter of the year.

The Group's new brand launched in the quarter goes beyond aesthetics. It's a manifestation of our purpose: to forge meaningful and successful connections. We aim to connect domains with businesses, businesses with consumers, and publishers with advertisers, propelling them towards their digital aspirations.

Our aspirations for Team Internet are clear: diversification, global outreach, deeper vertical integration, and an unyielding allegiance to our core values."

Performance Overview

The Group has performed strongly during the period with the key financial metrics listed below:

Segmental analysis

Organic growth rates quoted below are calculated on a pro forma basis including all the Group's constituents as of the last balance sheet dates and adjusted for non-recurring or non-cash revenues and on a constant currency basis.

Online Marketing segment

The Online Marketing segment continued to outperform the market, with revenues increasing by USD 62.1m, or 15%, from USD 412.6m to USD 474.7m. Organic revenue grew at a rate of 20% for TTM 2023, predominantly driven by Team Internet's TONIC platform. Inorganic growth was a result of the full period impact of the VGL acquisition, which was acquired in March 2022, and Adrenalads in August 2023.

The number of visitor sessions increased by 36% from 4.1 billion for TTM 2022 to 5.6 billion for TTM 2023 and the RPM decreased by 7% from USD 104 to USD 97(1).

The Online Marketing segment creates privacy-safe and AI-generated online consumer journeys that convert general interest online media users into confident high conviction consumers through advertorial and review websites, generating utility-style referral and commission income through partnerships with Google, Amazon and a multitude of other partners. Our long-term vision aims to harness the Group's expertise in two critical areas: first, to transform social media and other low-intent traffic into qualified leads for search ad campaigns; and second, to effectively turn search ad campaigns into successful e-commerce transactions. By integrating these capabilities, we aspire to establish a robust social commerce channel. This sector is expected to reach a value of USD 80 billion(2) by 2025 in the US alone.

Online Presence segment

Reported revenue in this segment increased by 20% from USD 114.1m in September 2022 YTD to USD 137.0m in September 2023 YTD. Organic growth for the Online Presence segment was 17% for TTM 2023, the highest growth rate since the segment's establishment, driven by the structural shift in demand towards Top Level Domains where Team Internet has a competitive edge.

The number of processed domain registration years increased by 11% from 12.7m for TTM 2022 to 14.1m for TTM 2023 and the average revenue per domain year increased by 8% from USD 10.03 to USD 10.81. The share of Value-Added Service revenue TTM 2023 was 11.2%(3).

The Online Presence segment is a critical constituent of the global online presence and productivity tool ecosystem, where Team Internet serves as the primary distribution channel for a wide range of digital products.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS

General information

Team Internet Group Plc is the UK holding company of a group of companies which operate a global internet platform that derives recurring revenue from Online Marketing and Online Presence services. The Company is registered in England and Wales. Its registered office and principal place of business is 4th Floor, Saddlers House, 44 Gutter Lane, London EC2V 6BR.

Basis of preparation

The financial results for the nine months ended 30 September 2023 are unaudited and have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the Group's 2022 statutory accounts and, for all periods presented, in line with the principal disclosure requirements of IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting.

The unaudited financial results are condensed and do not represent statutory accounts within the meaning of section 435 of the Companies Act 2016. The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022, upon which the auditors issued an unqualified opinion, are available on the Group's website and did not contain statements under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

Segment analysis

Team Internet is an independent global service provider building and managing platforms that sell Online Marketing and Online Presence services. Operating segments are organised around the products and services of the business and are prepared in a manner consistent with the internal reporting used by the chief operating decision maker to determine allocation of resources to segments and to assess segmental performance. The Directors do not rely on analyses of segment assets and liabilities, nor on segmental cash flows arising from the operating, investing and financing activities for each reportable segment, for their decision making and therefore have not included them.

The Online Marketing segment creates privacy-safe, AI-generated online customer journeys that convert general interest online media users into confident high conviction consumers through advertorial and review websites. The Online Presence segment is a critical constituent of the global online presence and productivity tool ecosystem, where Team Internet serves as the primary distribution channel for the wide range of digital products.

Management reviews the activities of the Team Internet Group in the segments disclosed below up to a Net revenue/gross profit level only:

The Group's revenue is invoiced directly to the following geographical areas:

• Other costs include items related primarily to business reviews and restructuring expenses.

Net finance costs

Earnings per share

Earnings per share has been calculated by dividing the consolidated profit/(loss) after taxation attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. Diluted earnings per share have been calculated on the same basis as above, except that the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares (arising from the Group's share option scheme and warrants) into ordinary shares has been added to the denominator. In 2022, there is no change to the loss numerator of the dilutive calculation. Due to the loss made in the year, the impact of the potential shares to be issued on exercise of share options and warrants would be anti-dilutive and therefore diluted earnings per share is reported on the same basis on earnings per share.

Basic and diluted earnings per share of 5.10 and 5.07 cents (2022: 2.48 and 2.41 cents) have been impacted by depreciation, amortisation, impairment, non-core operating expenses, foreign exchange gains and losses and share-based payment expenses.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS (continued)
