Outlook2012/13 and beyond

Page 25: An Ebiquity company Final Results Presentation Year ended 30 April 2012 July 2012 1.

Outlook

• Ebiquity remains a first mover in media and marketing performance

measurement

• Underlying drivers of market growth remain strong

• Renewals and new business pipeline on track

• However lack of confidence in economic recovery will continue to act

as a brake on growth

• Cautiously optimistic we will deliver to our plans
