Report for January-September 2021
Letter from the Chairman of the Board
We hereby file the UCP Quarterly Report for Q3 2021. The complete report can be viewed here. In addition to the report, we want to highlight the following in the UCP group development.
Net revenues
Net revenues are higher the nine months ending September 30, 2021, compared to the same period last year (+33%). The growth has however been weaker the last quarter than the first six months. The increase is mainly a result of last years' drastic market downturn due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the gradually growing marketing activity among our clients in this year, as well as new client contracts entered into during the period. The market recovery is ongoing. This said, the market is still from time to time affected by changes in the status of the pandemic and there is an uncertainty among clients to plan long- term and enter long-term media services contracts. We have despite this succeeded to close several new client contracts that will start running in year 2022. The focus on sales prevail in the Company's entities.
Gross profit and result of operations
Gross profit has increased 20% year to date compared to the same period 2020. The Gross profit margin during the first nine months of the year is 9,5% compared to 10.5% last year. The decrease is a result of price pressure in a competitive market.
The operations generated a loss of $382,000 the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a loss of $323,000 the same period last year. The selling, general and administrative expenses of the operations have increased 20% compared with the same period in year 2020, which is primarily explained by lower staff costs than normal last year due to staff being on furlough. This year we have not had any staff on furlough. The selling, general and administrative expenses share of net revenues has decreased from 11.7% the first nine months of year 2020 to 10.6% this year, which verifies the result of our focus on sales and efficient operations. We are currently reviewing our organization set-up and staffing with the aim of strengthening our offering. The clients' focus on digital vehicles for marketing has intensified. The Company is consequently continuing to invest in its topp-of-class digital resources and broadening its digital services. The Company sales of digital services is growing.
Loss before taxes and minority interest
Loss before taxes and minority interest year to date is $524,000 compared to a loss of $407,000 in 2020. The loss available to shareholders by September 30, 2021, is $499,000.
We continue our strategy of development and sales of new and current services while maintaining our focus on remaining front runner in data driven digital media agency services and supporting our clients in attaining their objectives, through the right and creative solutions providing return on their investments. We are convinced this strategy will enable us to fulfil our objective of long-term growth and profitability for the Company. We have now had two tough years and the short-term objective for us now is to turn this around, which is the basis for our business plan the coming period and next year.
As one of the two main shareholders, I also want to inform that none of us, together representing approx. 70% of the shares in UCP, have changed our shareholding during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
New York, USA, 19th of November 2021
