− FDV reaffirms its 2018 revenue guidance of A$40m (100% basis), up from A$27m in 2017

Frontier Digital Ventures Limited (“FDV”) is pleased to provide an update to investors on its strategy execution across 2018 and areas of focus as 2019 approaches.

• delivering strong revenue growth (+59% in 1H18 on pcp); and

• consolidating all companies into market leadership positions. Based on the current market valuation, it appears that the consistent strategy execution and strong operational growth across FDV’s portfolio has been underappreciated.

At the same time FDV continues to accelerate the development of its 13 other market leading online classifieds businesses which are following the Zameen blueprint.
