ADLPARTNER: NET SALES GROWTH FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2016
PRESS RELEASE
Paris, 28 April 2016 (6:30 pm)
ADLPartner: NET SALES GROWTH
FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2016
ADLPartner is reporting net sales [1] of €29.8 million for the first quarter of 2016, up 1.1% from the first quarter of 2015, with its gross sales volume [2] contracting 2% to €68.2 million.
Net sales growth has been driven by the development of the marketing mix for the open-ended subscription range, with its portfolio up 1.8% at end-March 2016. This has been combined with the positive trend for sales of marketing services, particularly in Spain.
The subsidiary ADLP Assurances is moving forward with its prospecting campaigns on the direct marketing insurance brokerage market, aiming to build up a portfolio of policies that will generate future revenues. This business line's contribution to net sales is still marginal at this stage.
