Additionally, advertisers require a brand-safe and trackable environment to show their ads. This requires publishers and content to have proven quality and a high level of reliability. However, once a publisher has integrated with a specific platform, such as Fyber, the “stickiness” is rather high as there is little reason for publishers to join another platform, if the chosen platform already delivers a large network with sufficient reach to advertisers and attractive fill-rates for the publisher. Overall, this news release is very positive for Fyber’s competitive position and operational outlook. This makes the platform more attractive for publishers to choose Fyber as their app monetization platform. However, given the special financial situation, we are sticking to our Hold recommendation.

Fyber to cooperate with Facebook for its in-app header bidding

On Wednesday (June 6), Fyber announced its cooperation with Facebook Audience Network, which is very positive news in our view, as

it demonstrates the recognition of Fyber’s position in the market, its technological know-how and experience in the in-app monetization and

RTB (real time bidding) auction process with its Fyber “FairBid” in-app header bidding technology.

� Facebook is also new to in-app header bidding. This technology allows advertisers to bid on ad spaces in real time and to participate in

a unified auction process for in-app ad spaces across various formats. Facebook joins a host of other platforms, which have adopted in-app

header bidding in recent months including AdMob (Google), Oath, MoPub (Twitter) and others. For now, Facebook is not developing its

own technology for this purpose as it is slowing pulling out of “tech” and focusing more on its core competence, which is data and demand.

This clearly shows that the development of such an in-app technology is challenging, even for large players such as Facebook,

and that Fyber is able to provide a technology that meets Facebook’s standards. It might also be a consequence of the increasing

demand for independent solutions and processes which offer high transparency or a consequence of the increasing competition for the

most attractive ad spaces to optimize publishers’ in-app monetization and returns.

� However, we are assuming that this will not have an immediate impact on Fyber’s revenues, as these are still generated on the supply side,

i.e. for publishers via effective fill-rates and the amount of ad space as well as number of publishers integrated on Fyber’s platform.

Nevertheless, the increased demand, triggered by the integration of one of the world’s largest ad networks and DSPs 1) will increase

prices for current ad spaces in the medium term, as rising demand should lead to higher prices over time, and 2) will attract further

publishers by providing them with access to Facebook’s advertisers.

� Facebook also cooperates with other platform providers such as MoPub, MAX and other third parties and publisher-owned platforms so

that in the long run, the technology, i.e. intelligent algorithms, will be a very decisive factor as publishers will stick with the most effective

platforms. Additionally, advertisers require a brand-safe and trackable environment to show their ads. This requires publishers and content

to have proven quality and a high level of reliability. However, once a publisher has integrated with a specific platform, such as Fyber, the

“stickiness” is rather high as there is little reason for publishers to join another platform, if the chosen platform already delivers a large

network with sufficient reach to advertisers and attractive fill-rates for the publisher.

Overall, this news release is very positive for Fyber’s competitive position and operational outlook. This makes the platform more

attractive for publishers to choose Fyber as their app monetization platform. However, given the special financial situation, we are sticking to

our Hold recommendation.

Company Background

� Fyber is a global ad-tech company with a clear focus on mobile in-app advertising, enabling publishers to optimize their ad space

returns with the support of intelligent algorithms.

� In 2014, RNTS Media N.V. acquired Fyber GmbH (SponsorPay previously; founded 2009), a leading mobile supply-side platform with

a special focus on gaming apps, which became the core of the company.

� With the acquisitions of Falk Realtime, Heyzap and Inneractive, Fyber enhanced its RTB exchange platform and upgraded its global

reach, broadened its product portfolio and increased its addressable market.

� The financial stability of the company is a risk, worth highlighting. An outstanding convertible bond of EUR 150m matures in July 2020

with a conversion price of EUR 3 per share.

� Cash position of EUR 17.6m (FY 2017), which was increased by another EUR 13.6m short-term borrowings in 2017 represents a

significant liquidity risk.

Competitive Quality

� Via its recent acquisitions, Fyber can offer the full variety of formats across all relevant types (desktop, mobile web and in-app), but

having a clear focus on mobile app video advertising as a differentiating criteria.

� Fyber's background with a clear focus on- and know-how in gaming apps and mobile in-app videos is a clear differentiator and these

segments are among the fastest-growing areas in the ad-tech industry.

� With 1.2bn active monthly users and more than 10,000 connected publishers, Fyber has a large network with a global presence,

providing advertisers (buy side) with a broad reach and detailed user profiles.

DISCLOSURE ACCORDING TO §85 OF THE GERMAN SECURITIES TRADING ACT (WHPG), MAR AND MIFID II INCL. COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2016/958 AND (EU) 2017/565

The valuation underlying the investment recommendation for the company analysed here is based on generally accepted and widely used methods of

fundamental analysis, such as e.g. DCF Model, Free Cash Flow Potential, Peer Group Comparison or Sum of the Parts Model (see also

http://www.mmwarburg.de/disclaimer/disclaimer.htm#Valuation). The result of this fundamental valuation is modified to take into consideration the

analyst’s assessment as regards the expected development of investor sentiment and its impact on the share price.

Independent of the applied valuation methods, there is the risk that the price target will not be met, for instance because of unforeseen changes in

demand for the company’s products, changes in management, technology, economic development, interest rate development, operating and/or

material costs, competitive pressure, supervisory law, exchange rate, tax rate etc. For investments in foreign markets and instruments there are further

risks, generally based on exchange rate changes or changes in political and social conditions.

This commentary reflects the opinion of the relevant author at the point in time of its compilation. A change in the fundamental factors underlying the

valuation can mean that the valuation is subsequently no longer accurate. Whether, or in what time frame, an update of this commentary follows is not

determined in advance.

Additional internal and organisational arrangements to prevent or to deal with conflicts of interest have been implemented. Among these are the spatial

separation of Warburg Research GmbH from M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA and the creation of areas of confidentiality. This prevents the

exchange of information, which could form the basis of conflicts of interest for Warburg Research in terms of the analysed issuers or their financial

instruments.

The analysts of Warburg Research GmbH do not receive a gratuity – directly or indirectly – from the investment banking activities of M.M.Warburg &

CO (AG & Co.) KGaA or of any company within the Warburg-Group.

All prices of financial instruments given in this investment recommendation are the closing prices on the last stock-market trading day before the

publication date stated, unless another point in time is explicitly stated.

M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA and Warburg Research GmbH are subject to the supervision of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority,

BaFin. M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA is additionally subject to the supervision of the European Central Bank (ECB).
