Gate to new markets

Internet portal Interia.pl gained its best financial results in its history last year. The company's net profits for the full year 2006 came in at zł.5.85 million, which beats last year's figure by 176 percent. Revenue rose by 34 percent on 2005 to zł.53 million. EBITDA reached zł.9.7 million, a growth of 55 percent on the previous year.

The company's strategy for 2007 assumes that it will maintain at least a 30-percent rate of growth in revenue. Also, Interia.pl wants to significantly improve its audience rating. Currently, it holds fifth place among Poland's most popular web sites. People aged between 15-24 years constitute the site's largest audience group. 

By the end of Q1 2007, Interia.pl will broaden its offer of internet television with the addition of a news channel, and will begin radio broadcasts over the internet. It also plans to open a platform for distributing multimedia gained from news agencies, television companies and its own production.

Moreover, the company plans to prepare an internet product for an international audience. "Within two years we want to introduce a product on the market that will have a pan-regional character. It might be something associated with multimedia or maybe with community platforms," said Grzegorz Błażewicz, the president of Interia.pl 's board.
