Résultats Semestriels : croissance de 84 % des ventes
Pour son premier semestre 2006, Emakina (Euronext Bruxelles: ALEMK) a enregistré un total des ventes de 4.089.338 EUR, contre 2.225.660 d’EUR durant la même période en 2005. Il s’agit donc une progression de 84 % par rapport à l’année dernière.
Ces excellents chiffres sont principalement dus à l’acquisition de nouveaux contrats ainsi qu’à une forte hausse de la demande chez nos clients existants. De son côté, le bénéfice opérationnel avant amortissement (Ebitda) du premier semestre 2006 s’élève à 804.212 EUR, contre 135.299 EUR pour 2005. Le résultat net pour la même période atteint 403.148,46 EUR, contre -15.830 EUR en 2005.
Points forts du premier semestre
Le premier semestre s’est achevé sur cette note très positive grâce à la conjoncture favorable du marché et à la capacité de l’agence à satisfaire efficacement la demande. La marge opérationnelle pour le premier semestre s’élève à 20 %, contre 6 % pour la même période l’année passée.
« Cette augmentation de nos marges résulte d’une meilleure utilisation de nos ressources fixes et par un taux d’occupation en nette amélioration, explique Denis Steisel, CEO d’Emakina. Notre politique de prévision des ventes et d’optimisation du planning des ressources porte ses fruits. »
Emakina est également heureux de compter de nouveaux clients en quête d’une agence « full service » pour développer leurs projets Internet : Petercam, Fédérauto, Keytrade, Touring Assurances, Glaxo Smith Kline, Boek, Vacature…
Les six premiers mois ont également été marqués par des innovations technologiques et créatives de premier plan. Emakina est notamment à l’origine de VW Escape TV (www.vwescape.tv), projet qui constitue une première dans le domaine de la communication interactive. « VW Escape TV est la première chaîne de télévision que vous pouvez regarder sur votre iPod, votre téléphone portable ou votre PlayStation portable. Un projet de ce type ouvre de nouvelles possibilités aux annonceurs », souligne Brice Le Blévennec, Président du Conseil d’Administration d’Emakina.
Perspectives d’ici la fin de l’année
Nous restons confiants pour l’évolution de nos activités sur le second semestre. Au vu de notre carnet de commande actuel, nous pensons pouvoir conserver le taux de croissance des ventes de plus de 80 % par rapport au deuxième semestre 2005.
Rapport du commissaire
Nous avons comparé les données comptables reprises dans le communiqué semestriel de Emakina Group SA avec la situation active et passive et le compte de résultats consolidés arrêtés au 30 juin 2006, dont le total du bilan s’élève à € 4.115.740 et dont le compte de résultats se solde par un bénéfice net (part du groupe) de € 403.148,46. Nous confirmons que ces données comptables ne présentent pas de disparités significatives par rapport aux comptes intermédiaires consolidés.
Nous avons émis un rapport de revue limitée relatif à ces comptes intermédiaires consolidés, déclarant que, sur la base de notre revue limitée, aucun élément n’a été révélé qui impliquerait que ces comptes intermédiaires consolidés ne sont pas présentés, à tous les égards importants, conformément aux dispositions légales et réglementaires applicables en Belgique.

Semestrial Results : 84 % growth in half-yearly sales
For the first six months in 2006, Emakina (Euronext Brussels: ALEMK) posted sales of a total of 4,089,338 EUR, against 2,225,660 EUR over the same period in 2005. This represents a progression of 84 % compared to last year.
These excellent figures are mainly due to the acquisition of new contracts as well as a strong growth in demand amongst existing clients. The operating profits before amortisation (ebitda) for the first half-year of 2006 total 804,212 EUR, compared with 135,299 EUR in 2005. The net result for the same period reaches 403.148,46 EUR, for –15,830 EUR in 2005.
High points of the first 6 months
The first six months finished on a very positive note thanks to the favourable market conditions and the agency’s capacity to efficiently satisfy demand. Operational margins over the period reached 20 %, against 6 % for the same period last year.
“This increase in margins stems from a better use of our fixed resources and an improved occupation rate” explains Denis Steisel, CEO of Emakina. “Our sales forecast policy and optimisation of resources planning is bearing fruit.”
Emakina is also delighted to count new clients looking for a “full service” agency to develop their Internet projects: Petercam, Fédérauto, Keytrade, Touring Assurances, Glaxo Smith Kline, Boek, Vacature…
The first six months were also marked by first-rate technological and creative innovations. Emakina is notably behind VW Escape TV (www.vwescape.tv), a premiere in the field of interactive communication. “VW Escape TV is the first TV channel you can watch on your iPod, portable phone or portable PlayStation. A project of this type opens new possibilities for advertisers,” notes Brice Le Blévennec, President of Emakina’s Board of Directors.
Perspectives for the second half of the year
We remain confident concerning the evolution of our activities for the second semester. Given our current order portfolio, we believe we can maintain the growth rate of more than 80 % over the same period of 2005.
Auditor’s report
We have compared accounting data in the six-month results of Emakina Group SA with the active and passive situation of the consolidate results as of June 30 2006. The total of the balance sheet is € 4,115,740, whose overall result is a net profit (group share) of € 403,148.46. We confirm that these financial data show no significant disparities with the consolidated intermediate accounts.
We drew up a review report concerning these consolidated intermediate accounts, declaring that on the basis of our limited review, no element was found that would suggest that the consolidated intermediate accounts are not presented, in every important aspect, in compliance with the regulatory and legal dispositions applicable in Belgium.

Semestriële Resultaten: 84% groei van de halfjaarlijkse omzet
Voor het eerste semester van 2006, registreerde Emakina (Euronext Brussel: ALEMK) een totaal verkoopcijfer van 4.089.338 EUR, tegenover 2.225.660 EUR gedurende dezelfde periode in 2005. Het betreft hier dus een toename van 84% ten opzichte van verleden jaar.
Deze uitstekende cijfers zijn vooral te wijten aan de aanwinst van nieuwe contracten, alsook aan de sterk toegenomen vraag van onze bestaande klanten. Voor het eerste semester van 2006 bedraagt de operationele winst voor afschrijvingen (EBITDA) 804.212 EUR tegenover 135.299 EUR voor 2005. De nettowinst voor dezelfde periode was 403.148,46 EUR, tegenover -15.830 EUR in 2005.
Sterke punten van het eerste semester
Het eerste semester eindigde met dit zeer positief cijfer dankzij de gunstige conjunctuur van de markt en de het vermogen van het agentschap om efficiënt te voldoen aan de vraag. De operationele marge voor het eerste semester bedraagt 20%, tegenover 6% voor dezelfde periode verleden jaar.
"Deze stijging van onze marges is het gevolg van een beter beheer van onze vaste kosten en een sterk verbeterde bezetting”, legt Denis Steisel, CEO, uit. “Onze politiek inzake prognose van de verkoop en optimalisatie van de planning van de medewerkers draagt zijn vruchten."
Emakina is eveneens gelukkig nieuwe klanten te tellen op zoek naar een "full service" agentschap om hun Internet-projecten te ontwikkelen: Petercam, Fédérauto, Keytrade, Touring Assurances, Glaxo Smith Kline, Boek, Vacature...
De eerste zes maanden waren ook gekenmerkt door vooraanstaande technologische en creatieve vernieuwingen. Emakina ligt met name aan de oorsprong van VW Escape TV (www.vwescape.tv), een project dat een première betekent op het gebied van de interactieve communicatie.
"VW Escape TV is het eerste televisienet dat u kunt bekijken op uw iPod, uw mobiele telefoon of uw draagbare PlayStation. Een dergelijk project biedt nieuwe mogelijkheden aan adverteerders", onderstreept Brice Le Blévennec, voorzitter raad van bestuur van Emakina.
Vooruitzichten tot het einde van het jaar
Wij blijven vertrouwen hebben in de evolutie van onze activiteiten voor het tweede semester. Gezien ons huidig orderboek, denken wij het groeipercentage van de verkoop te kunnen behouden op meer dan 80% ten opzichte van het tweede semester van 2005.
Rapport van de commissaris
Wij hebben de boekhoudkundige gegevens opgenomen in het halfjaarlijks communiqué van Emakina Group NV vergeleken met de geconsolideerde staat van activa en passiva alsook de resultatenrekening per 30 juni 2006, die afsluiten met een balanstotaal van € 4.115.740 en met een netto winst (aandeel van de groep) over het semester van € 403.148,46. Wij bevestigen dat deze boekhoudkundige gegevens geen kennelijke tegenstrijdigheden bevatten met de tussentijdse geconsolideerde rekeningen.
Bij deze tussentijdse geconsolideerde rekeningen hebben wij een verslag van beperkt nazicht afgeleverd waarin wij verklaren dat, op basis van ons beperkt nazicht, niets erop wijst dat deze tussentijdse geconsolideerde rekeningen niet in alle materiële opzichten zijn opgesteld in overeenstemming met de in België toepasselijke wettelijke en bestuursrechtelijke voorschriften.

Escape TV: maak je los van je TV-kabel!
VW Escape TV werd ontwikkeld voor het automerk Volkswagen en is gratis te bekijken op www.vwescape.tv of via de podcastingrubriek van de iTunes Music Store. Daar krijg je reportages te zien over belangrijke evenementen van de afgelopen maand (concerten, film, sport,...), interviews met celebrity’s, funny filmpjes van het web, arti- en cultreclame van Volkswagen, adviezen voor automobilisten, wedstrijden, enzovoort… Iedere maand is een nieuwe aflevering van dit tv-programma te bekijken. Via streaming op je computer of via download op iPod, PSP portable spelcomputer of op mobiele telefoon. Je kijkt dan waar je wilt en wanneer je wilt. VW Escape TV bevrijdt je eindelijk van alle schermen en kabels die je in het verleden tot huisarrest veroordeelden. Na een interactieve casting zijn de twee presentatieduo’s bekend. De afgelopen weken konden kandidaten via hun webcam een screentest opnemen en opsturen naar de virtuele studio van VW Escape TV. Al die sollicitaties werden naar de galerij geüpload waar bezoekers konden stemmen en vrienden konden uitnodigen om de leukste spotjes te bekijken. Raphaël Charlier (presentator op Pure FM) en Anita Lixel (eerder te zien op Plug TV en TV-Brussel) vormen straks het Franstalige presentatorenduo, Dieter Vanthournout en Werner Spelkens nemen de Nederlandstalige presentatie voor hun rekening. “De groep 18- tot 30-jarigen is een ander type verbruiker als het over media gaat. VW Escape TV is een langetermijnproject waarmee we Volkswagen willen helpen een bevoorrecht contact met deze groep verbruikers op te bouwen”, zegt Brice Le Blévennec, voorzitter raad van bestuur van Emakina. De jongeren willen hun mediaconsumptiegedrag zelf onder controle houden. Dat bewijst ook het immense succes van b.v. podcasting bij deze groep verbruikers. Met VW Escape TV zetten we weer een nieuwe stap en bieden we gratis en continu video aan. Bovendien zijn alle items origineel en wordt de volledige productie door Emakina gedragen. Emakina bevestigt hiermee zijn statuut van voorloper en biedt interactieve en vernieuwende oplossingen aan die op het vlak van interactieve marketing de allernieuwste tendensen volgen. ... read more
Escape TV : libérez-vous du câble !
Créée pour la marque automobile Volkswagen, VW Escape TV est disponible gratuitement sur www.vwescape.tv ou via la rubrique podcasting de l’iTunes Music Store. Au programme : des reportages sur les événements du mois (concerts, cinéma, sport…), des interviews people, des séquences fun tirées du web, des publicités cultes Volkswagen, des conseils automobiles, des concours… Chaque mois, un nouveau numéro de cette émission de télévision sera consultable en streaming sur votre ordinateur ou téléchargeable sur votre iPod, votre console de jeu portable PSP ou votre téléphone mobile. A voir quand on veut, où l’on veut : VW Escape TV libère le petit écran des câbles qui l’enchaînaient jusqu’à présent dans le salon. Les deux couples de présentateurs ont été recrutés grâce à un casting interactif : ces dernières semaines, les candidats pouvaient entrer dans le studio virtuel de VW Escape TV et enregistrer un bout d’essai grâce à leur webcam. Ces prestations ont ensuite été diffusées dans la galerie du site où les visiteurs pouvaient voter pour les meilleures performances et inviter leurs amis à visualiser les vidéos les plus sympas. Devant la caméra, on retrouve donc Raphaël Charlier (animateur sur Pure FM) et Anita Lixel (aperçue sur Plug TV et TV-Brussel) du côté francophone, alors que Dieter Vanthournout et Werner Spelkens forment le tandem néerlandophone. « Les 18-30 ont adopté un nouveau comportement de consommation de médias. VW Escape TV est un projet à long terme qui permet à Volkswagen de renouer un contact privilégié avec cette génération, explique Brice Le Blévennec, Président du conseil d’administration d’Emakina. Les jeunes aiment exercer un contrôle total sur leur consommation médias comme le montre le succès impressionnant du podcasting chez cette tranche d’âge. Avec VW Escape TV, nous franchissons une étape supplémentaire en proposant du contenu vidéo gratuit et entièrement original. Toute la production est assurée par notre agence. » Une fois de plus, Emakina confirme son statut de précurseur en offrant des solutions interactives innovantes qui répondent aux tendances les plus récentes dans le domaine du marketing interactif. Une démarche innovante qui bénéficie de l’entier soutien de Volkswagen. ... read more

Emakina keep adding functionalities and refinement to the award winning FlySN.com website
Hebrew website First website Emakina has launched in Hebrew. It's been a challenge to work this out, since none of us reads the language. Not only is it written right-to-left, the visitors also expect the whole website to be mirrored. http://www.flysn.co.il/he_il/ New homepage Since the launch of the website over a year and a half ago, a revision of the homepage was in order to keep the site alive and to optimize it based on the previous experience. After careful analysis we came up with two designs that were both quite different. To decide which one would be the winner, we ran both for a period of 2 weeks and measured which one had the best score (measured by statistics, click-through-rates, visit-to-use, etc...). The victorious design is now online and can be seen on www.flysn.be Splash Page We have introduced a language selection page that directs visitors quickly to their local website (i.e. flysn.be) when they are actually typing in www.flysn.com . We are thus dispatching them over 50+ websites! http://www.flysn.be/nl_be/splash.aspx Improved promotion engine Finding promotions on the flysn website is crucial and therefor we have optimised the promotion engine . It is now able to display promotions from any website, grouped by countries and cities.

SN Brussels Airlines increases the number of its online bookings with Tridion.
SN Brussels Airlines is a Belgian full-service airline company and offers 285 daily flights to various destinations in Europe, Africa and the USA. Approximately 2100 people work with SN Brussels Airlines. In 2004, the airline company booked a net result of €1.04 million. SN Brussels Airlines chose Tridion as the basis for its new Web site flySN.com. Since the launch of the Web site in August 2004 the number of online bookings has increased up to 20,000 flight bookings per month. The travel industry is constantly on the move. Internet is playing a more important role in the orientation, information and booking behaviour of travellers. Flight tickets are one of the most frequent bought products on the Internet taking up fifteen percent of all the Internet transactions. Due to the growing demand of online booking in the travel industry, SN Brussels needed to improve their home-grown content management system (CMS) and upgrade their system to a better CMS which could also support their ambition to become the market leader in Belgium and to penetrate the African and European market successfully. First of all it was essential to implement a future-proof technological platform to ensure the needs of its customers. This had to be a well-known CM system which could handle all Web site requirements including multilingual and multi-country branding issues. SN Brussels Airlines chose Tridion due to its experience and maturity with other airline companies and its unique BluePrint Management functionality. Another advantage is that Tridion is known as the European leader in Content Management Solutions which can meet the complex challenges of multilingual and multi branding sites. The Tridion implementation was done by the Belgian partner Emakina and was built to meet the online booking requirements. The main goal which initially was user-friendliness has now been moved to "price advantage". SN Brussels Airlines now aims for a user-friendly online booking system for a user-friendly price. With up to 22 sites in the air SN Brussels Airlines is still working on the development of their self-service possibilities, e-tickets, hotel bookings, insurance and rent-a-car via the Web. More information about this customer case - in Dutch - can be read on the Dutch site: www.tridion.nl... read more
With ip-label, Emakina undertakes to support its clients.
Emakina comes up trumps for its clients’ quality of service Emakina, the main Belgian e-business agency, has joined forces with ip-label in order to measure the quality of service offered to its Internet clients. Emakina’s target: 100% client satisfaction Because Emakina is committed to quality of service, it has joined forces with ip-label, so as to provide its clients with the precise assessment of the quality of its web development and hosting services by means of a network of sensors installed by ip-label on the premises of the main European IP operators. The ip-label sensors are distributed among the IP operators who see 80% of internet traffic pass via their IP network. Web users being directly or indirectly connected to the IP operators, the ip-label network of sensors thus allows a website’s actual connectivity with the entire internet to be measured continuously. The indicators measures range from the time taken to download a web page to the overall performance of hosting services (DNS response times, dynamic database requests, etc.). In addition, the quality-of-service products on offer allow automatic alerts to be generated when a site is no longer available, by means of round-the-clock dedicated web-site supervision. "Within the framework of our "100% client satisfaction" objective, we chose ip-label to guarantee the greatest transparency for our clients on the quality of our services", said Brice Le Blévennec, Executive Partner at Emakina. Emakina and ip-label: evaluating your website through the eyes of a web user. Recent studies show that the average time that a web user is prepared to wait for a web page to load before surfing elsewhere is 4 seconds. Thanks to the partnership with, all Emakina clients will have a view of the quality of their websites as seen by a fictional web user. Emakina is thus making a web interface available to clients who are concerned about the navigation quality of their websites, thanks to which they will be able to monitor the development of their website’s performance, considering the modifications made to it. With ip-label, Emakina undertakes to support its clients, as objectively as possible, for improved quality of service. This service is available as of now for all Emakina clients. With ip-label, Emakina is committed to the quality of service of its internet clients. About ip-label: Present since 1983 in the measurement of the quality of online services, ip-label is the leader in the measurement of the quality of IP services in Europe. ip-label gives companies the objective measurement of their "net power" - the measurement of their performance on networks, in order to allow them to attract clients and develop customer loyalty. Independent of all operators and service providers, ip-label measures the quality of service of websites (internet and intranet), ISPs (Internet Service Providers), virtual private networks (ip-vpn), audio-video streaming and internet connections (ADSL, rented connections, RTC, RNIS and wireless). The results of these measurements allow the performance of Internet structures to be monitored in real time in terms of access, navigation and costs increases. Armed with these analyses, decision-makers are in a position to improve the performance of their IP service and be mindful of the relevance of their investments (time, staff, money, communication).... read more

Emakina provides the international design for the new QuickStep Unilin Flooring site.
Emakina provides the international design for the new QuickStep Unilin Flooring site. When a company wants to expand their expectations, that’s the point where Emakina joins and helps to approve the dreams of the clients on the web. In this particular instance of the QuickStep project, dedicated people of both companies worked together to design and develop in a record time a new modern consumer site for the wellknown Quickstep laminate brand. Attraction, sensibility and professionalism were the keywords for the style directed at the Quickstep customers. One of the main challenges of the project was to show the different aspects of laminate flooring and guide the visitor through the catalogue. This is for example reflected in the design of the menu where visitors of all kinds can enter with a direct access to the products. Visitors can make a color choice, pick their favorite wood type or more specificly select by visual effects, gamma name or use the direct search engine. By providing multiple accesses to the products getting lost in the Quickstep offering is a thing of the past. The Quickstep project shows us how a multiple language site can be easy to navigate and attractive without loosing the product and its information out of sight.... read more
