Latest ResearchAlert: 3Q18 beat on higher revenues, guidance upgraded

A solid revenue-driven beat in 3Q18 with a modest upgrade to FY18guidance. The outperformance is particularly impressive given the timing ofEaster was a headwind for March listing volumes. We recorded 31%growth in REA’s Premiere ad volumes

in March and 41% in April, and we expect that revenue growth trends in 4Qwill accelerate further. In our view May & June volumes will provide animportant guide to whether the elevated growth seen in April is sustainableor just a one-off impacted by Easter.
