Invigor Group Limited’s (ASX:IVO) German acquisition, Condat, is doing better than expected – with both revenue and earnings above forecast.
The Berlin-based outfit has booked $2 million in revenue and $420,000 in earnings before tax for the first quarter of the year.
Both revenue and earnings are ahead of schedule – with IVO chairman Gary Cohen telling investors that the earnings figure was particularly pleasing.
“We are very pleased with the performance of Condat in the March quarter, being the first full quarter under Invigor’s ownership,” he said.
“The EBITDA margin of 21% is better than expected and provides further validation of Condat’s potential to Invigor in both the short and long term.”
The German company’s main product is its Smart Media Engine, which allows broadcasters to analyse ‘semantic content’ – and is being seen as a way to complement IVO’s existing big data analysis capabilities.
It also give IVO an entry into the lucrative European media market.
In further Condat news, it has emerged that the German media player has been selected to head up a consortium including the Agence France Presse and Deutsche Welle on a content verification system.
The project, dubbed the EU InVID project, will develop a platform capable of verifying the authenticity of emerging stories coming in over platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, or Instagram.
The end goal would be to integrate this capability into Condat’s smart media engine, which will be able to analyse and classify gathered media content for editing, curation, and playout.
