Chairman's and Chief Executive's Statement
The first half of 2007 was a very successful period for Velti. The company made
its mark globally in terms of customer wins and strategic alliances. We are also
pleased to report strong financial performance in both revenue growth and
profitability.
Overall financial performance for the six month period ended 30 June 2007 was at
the top end of management's expectations. Velti achieved revenue growth of 83
per cent to €7.41 million whilst profit before tax increased 63 per cent to
€1.16million and profit after tax grew by 94 per cent to €0.84 million. Velti
also had an operating cash inflow of €1.15 million (compared with an outflow of
€0.85 million in the first half of 2006).
The key drivers of this positive performance were successful repeat business
from major customers and demand from new customers, as well as the extended
geographical footprint of the company. It is worth noting that these results
were achieved despite increased product development, sales and marketing costs
incurred as part of the aggressive expansion and growth plan of the company.
In terms of market positioning, Velti's main focus is on providing mobile
platforms and services to mobile operators, advertising agencies, media groups
and other large enterprises. Velti is enabling these organisations to market and
advertise effectively through the mobile channel. Velti has a very strong
geographical presence in South Eastern Europe, the UK and (through Ansible, its
Joint Venture with the Interpublic Group), aims to achieve this in North
America.
Since the beginning of the year Velti has expanded its business with existing
mobile operator customers Vodafone, Orascom's Wind, Cosmote and Q-Telecom, as
well as winning key new mobile operator customers Orange and SingTel's Globe.
New contracts were also won with MTV, CBS, Real Networks, LVMH's Hennessy in the
USA and Motorola and Pepsico's Tasty Foods in Europe.
2007 is proving to be the year when the global Mobile Marketing and Advertising
market is coming into the spotlight as the next major business opportunity in
mobile services. Velti had anticipated a significant growth in the market and
had already aligned its strategy accordingly. This led to the creation of
Ansible, a joint venture between Velti and Interpublic, one of the world's
leading groups of advertising agencies and marketing services companies. Based
in New York, Ansible is a provider of mobile marketing solutions to Interpublic
agencies and clients. The company works with brands, agencies and content
providers to develop and deploy mobile advertising and marketing campaigns.
Ansible offers mobile strategy, creative development and campaign management,
leveraging best-in-class technology and expertise. Ansible will operate in North
America, Europe and Asia and will utilise Velti's proprietary services and
mobile marketing technology in all markets.
On product development, Velti is continuing to expand its Mobile Marketing
Platform, building world-leading capabilities as a 'one-stop shop' for
advertising agencies, mobile operators and media. The product development
investment that started three years ago, coupled with the proven track record in
executing projects for mobile operators, provides Velti with the competitive
advantage necessary to achieve high growth in a market with global potential
which is now beginning to develop.
There has been a very positive response to the launch of Ansible and the Board
sees good prospects for the joint venture to become a significant driver for the
growth and profitability of the company in 2008 and beyond.
The Board is very pleased with Velti's performance in the first half. The
company has achieved considerable momentum and the Directors believe this will
be maintained during the traditionally stronger second half. We are confident
that the company will meet its financial targets for the year as a whole, and we
expect to generate positive free cash flows.

Operational Review
Market development
Velti's experience so far in 2007 confirms management's view that Mobile
Marketing and Advertising will offer the strongest growth opportunities for the
company in the Mobile Value Added Services (VAS) market. For a number of years,
mobile VAS has been a market characterised by increasing mobile content
consumption. The market, with strong interest from Mobile Operators, Media,
Advertising Agencies, Brands and Enterprises, is now poised for growth.
The market has grown significantly this year and is forecasted to reach $19
billion by 2011 (source: ABI Research). The number of mobile devices in the
marketplace already exceeds the number of PCs and TV sets combined, making the
mobile device the dominant 'first screen' in a consumers' life.
A key driver of the substantial growth expected in this market is that mobile
operators and advertising agencies are now adopting the capabilities necessary
for offering and executing a very large number of mobile marketing campaigns for
different brands.
Velti is at the heart of this evolution; since its inception it has been working
with a variety of leading world operators on delivering mobile platforms and
value added services. Following the company's IPO in 2006, significant
investment has been made in creating the software platforms and managed services
infrastructure to enable mobile operators, media and advertising agencies to
develop and operate within this market. During this period, it has become clear
that advertising agencies are a key factor in accelerating the development of
mobile advertising and marketing growth. This is because the mobile phone is not
just the first screen in consumer lives but also the ideal form of
cross-interaction with all other traditional media (TV, print, radio, outdoor,
interactive), and a future key enabler of dialogue between brands and the
consumer. Consequently, mobile marketing campaigns are expected to become an
integral part of a multichannel brand strategy rather than being used in
isolation.
Against this background, Interpublic and Velti announced in July 2007 the
formation of Ansible, a 50:50 joint venture dedicated mobile marketing company
utilising Velti's technology and managed services capabilities. Ansible is based
in New York and staffed with proven talent from the advertising and mobile
marketing space. The company currently operates in North America and Europe but
will start to develop globally by the end of 2007. Interpublic is one of the
world's leading groups of advertising agencies and marketing services companies,
with more than $25 billion in annual customer billings, $6 billion in sales and
40,000 employees in 100 countries.
As Bant Breen, Executive Vice President and head of the Futures Marketing Group
of Interpublic stated: 'We evaluated more than 40 mobile services providers and
decided to work with Velti because of their best-of-breed technology platform
and their extensive operator experience.'
Customer growth
Reflecting Velti's capabilities in terms of platforms and services, new
customers have been signed in the fields of media and advertising. Some of the
best known names include MTV, Real Networks and LVMH's Hennessy, as well as
brands like Motorola and PepsiCo's Tasty Foods in Europe.
Customers in the area of financial services and government agencies have also
contributed to growth. For example, Intralot, one of the world's top three
Gaming and Transaction Processing services for State Lotteries, is using Velti
for its mobile services strategy.
Since the formation of Ansible was announced in July 2007, initial staffing and
operational integration with Velti's platforms and services has been completed,
making the new Joint Venture a fully functional organisation with early
indications from potential customers confirming management's optimism about
future prospects.
Progress continued in the market for Mobile Operators platforms and services
during the first half of 2007. Velti was awarded key contracts from new
customers including Orange (UK), Orascom Group (Wind?) Greece), Vivatel
(Bulgaria) and SingTel's Globe (Philippines). Together, these groups capture a
subscriber base exceeding 280 million customers. New contracts have also been
awarded by Vodafone, Cosmote, M-Tel, OTE Group and Q-Telecom. In line with the
evolution of the market, these contracts have stronger elements of mobile
marketing and advertising and are in significant growth areas, such as mobile
communities, mobile commerce and user generated content.
Velti is providing innovative business solutions and software platforms to
enable mobile advertising through Mobile Operator branded or white labelled WAP
portals, mobile TV, as well as MMS and SMS mediums. These solutions also have
strong capabilities in terms of enabling Operator Communities that enhance
customer retention and brand loyalty. As a result, the Mobile Operator value
from Velti solutions results in increased data ARPU, new revenue streams from
mobile advertising and strong customer retention and acquisition benefits.
The second half of 2007 has traditionally been a stronger half for Mobile
Operator solutions, and we are experiencing a strong demand for our products and
services
Geographic development
In Southeastern Europe the company continues to expand and completed the
acquisition of M-Telecom in late March 2007. M-Telecom is a leading mobile
marketing and content provider in Bulgaria and provides Velti with a strong
footprint within the Eastern Europe region. Following the acquisition of
M-Telecom, contracts with major Bulgarian operators were signed to capitalise on
Velti's local presence through M-Telecom.
Our announcement of 2006 results highlighted the offices in New York and London
as spearheading developments and future growth in the mobile marketing area. The
company is expanding both its sales and delivery capabilities to ensure that it
can execute on a much larger geographical scale.
Investment in technology and customer services
Velti has made a significant investment in software technology that automates,
executes and assures ease and quality in the creation of mobile marketing and
advertising campaigns. We continually analyse the results of the campaigns
conducted on behalf of customers with a view to improving the performance of our
Mobile Marketing and Advertising Platform, now in its third generation. Through
our experience and development of our capabilities, and the scalability of our
infrastructure, we are now able to achieve a very fast time to market as well as
continuing to decrease operational costs as a proportion of revenue. This is
reflected in the increase of gross profit by 92 per cent, compared to revenue
growth of 83 per cent during the first half of 2007.
Financial Review
In the first half of 2007 the Group delivered a solid financial performance that
is reflected in robust top line growth, stable profit margins, positive
operating cash flows and entry into new geographic areas, while significantly
reducing net capital expenditure compared to last year.
In the six month period ended 30 June 2007 revenue reached €7.41 million, an 83
per cent increase on the same period in 2006 (€4.04 million). The increase in
revenue stemmed mainly from organic growth in professional and mobile value
added services coupled with the initial contribution from the acquisition of
M-Telecom with effect from 1 April 2007. Repeat business with existing clients
remained strong while new business was initiated in the south Asian market.
Gross profit increased by 92 per cent to €4.10 million (€2.13 million in first
half of 2006) delivering a margin of 55 per cent (53 per cent in 2006).
Operating profit, after the recognition of a share awards' cost of €0.18
million, increased by 45 per cent to €1.22 million (€0.84 million in first half
of 2006) delivering a margin of 16 per cent (21 per cent in 2006). The operating
margin, net of cost of share awards, was 19 per cent and the decrease compared
to 2006 is due to the doubling of depreciation and amortisation charges (€1.12
million in 2007, €0.51 million in 2006) that in turn reflects the significant
product development and infrastructure projects undertaken both in 2005 and
2006. Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, amortisation and the
cost of share awards increased by 87 per cent to €2.52 million (€1.35 million in
first half of 2006) delivering a margin of 34 per cent (33 per cent in 2006).
Profit before tax reached €1.16 million, posting an increase of 63 per cent over
2006 (€0.71 million). The taxation charge of the period represents an effective
tax rate of 27 per cent, marking a significant drop compared to the respective
period in 2006 (39 per cent). Basic earnings per share grew by 50 per cent to
3.3 eurocents (2.2 eurocents in 2006), while earnings per share adjusted for the
non-cash share award expense grew 77 per cent to 3.9 eurocents.
Velti's balance sheet, as at 30 June 2007, reflects a strong net asset position
of €17.64 million and a net cash position of €2.25 million. The significant
profitability coupled with balanced working capital requirements resulted in an
operating cash inflow of €1.15 million (outflow of €0.85 million in 2006).
