The financial information as at June 30, 2021 consists in the consolidated financial datas of Airtime Technologies Ltd (first-tier subsidiary since January 2021) and its subsidiaries. Business overview 2021 has been a year of change and challenge. The most impacting challenge was Covid-19 and during the pandemic Airtime has remained resilient, keeping all the operations running, and connecting all the partners through its platform and technology. H1 2021 revenue amounted to EUR 45.93m (vs. EUR 40.47m in the comparable period, or +14%) and registred a strong growth in the second quarter of the year. The growth can be attributed to a significant increase of interconnections with new carriers that led to an expansion of the network with optimal results in terms of gross margin. EBITDA amounted to EUR 2.062m (vs. EUR 0.449m in the comparable period, or +359%) and is in line with the expectations shown in the Information document dated September 20, 2021. The important growth of the EBITDA is mostly due to the fact that the first half of 2020 was a very particular period conditioned by the general situation that reflected on this indicator. The network handled all traffic volumes without any disruptions, proof of the quality of the infrastructure which is allowing the Group's customers to become more confident in the system and to increase both the frequency and the amount of deposits in Commsettle. The market is taking notice of Airtime's dynamism and more partners are joining the platform for secure payment transactions on customer side and supplier side. Even though the network was carrying more traffic than ever before, Airtime continued to invest in its growth. The development team has improved the platform features to accelerate KYC and interconnections processes. Based on the quality and leadership of his network and platform, Airtime wants to further enhance the experience of being connected, with all the accounts settled in real-time and no risk of payment bottlenecks and delays.
