CLIQ Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
– The CLIQ Group publishes today its unaudited Half-year 2025 Financial Report, which is available on the Group’s website at https://cliqdigital.com/investors/financialreporting.
Following the reporting date, the CLIQ Group has been informed by its payment service providers that certain card schemes and acquiring banks don’t allow processing payments authorised by existing customers of CLIQ any longer. The background of such rejections are significant developments in the digital payments’ ecosystem, driven by newly announced worldwide regulatory standards introduced by card schemes and acquiring banks.
These new standards are currently restricting the Group’s ability to process payments from a part of its existing customer base and to acquire new customers. Recently held discussions have not resulted in a short-term solution, therefore CLIQ now expects that the impact will be significant and is working hard to be able to acquire new customers again and to restore the lost payment process.
At present, CLIQ cannot reliably quantify the financial impact of these developments on the Company, as further information from its payment service partners is required to assess the full extent of the exposure. However, CLIQ expects these changes to have a material adverse effect on revenue in the remaining part of the current financial year.
Consequently, the expected EBITDA and certain balance sheet items – particularly capitalised contract costs – as well as the off-balance sheet operational indicator Lifetime Value of Customer Base (LTVCB) will be negatively affected.
Given the increased uncertainty and the inability to assess the full financial impact at this point in time, the Management Board hereby withdraws the previously communicated outlook of the Group for the 2025 financial year until further notice.
On 18 June 2025, Dylan Media formally notified CLIQ that it now holds over 25% of the company’s share capital and announced yesterday that it will vote against agenda item no. 7 at the upcoming Annual General Meeting on 21 August 2025. The agenda item, originally requested by Dylan Media itself, relates to a public partial share repurchase offer and a capital reduction by way of redemption of the repurchased shares. Dylan Media has expressed its view that preserving liquidity is the most prudent short-term strategy and therefore does not anymore support a public partial repurchase offer by the company at this time.
Against this background and in consideration of the current business environment, the Management Board has decided currently not to consider a delisting from the stock exchange any longer.
Currently, Dylan Media together with members of CLIQ’s Management and Supervisory Boards hold around 41% of the company’s share capital.
