RAKETECH Q2 REVIEW
AT A GLANCE
• The company delivered another all-time revenue record , up 56 % to € 17.6m
• EBITDA was also up 44 % YoY to € 5.5m
FEBER PITCH
The benefits of having completed the earnout commitments on the CasinoFeber acquisition were identified by the company as one of the reasons for the strong second quarter , alongside continued strength in the subaffiliation business .
Chief executive Oskar Mühlbach told analysts that the operational costs were subsequently increased but without the money going to the previous owners of the site , the margin had increased .
The quarter ’ s success encouraged Mühlbach to extol the virtues of having a solid business with simple metrics .
“ Consumers find us primarily through search engines and volatility between the quarters is relatively limited ,” he said . “ To establish a strong digital product , we either need to invest substantially , both in terms of money and time . Alternatively , we acquire an already successful product and fine tune it over time .”
