Christoph Mainusch, co-Chief Executive Officer, added: "Our leading audience shares give us a strong advantage over our competition, and we intend to capitalize on this by concentrating our efforts on improving the monetization of our audiences. Improving the performance of our Czech operations is the top priority. We believe that rebuilding our relationships with agencies and clients while protecting price increases achieved during the year is an essential step to improving our competitive position in that market."

Operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was US$ (45.0) million compared to US$ (18.4) million for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
