Items this document does not state (15)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the existing businesses, advertising revenue declined as traffic on the open web fell, while higher revenue from the social media marketing business offset the decline. The stated reasons for the wider operating loss were higher goodwill amortization related to earn-outs and increased selling, general and administrative expenses, including costs to remediate internal controls.
