Cliq Digital AG
Cliq Digital AG is a German Aktiengesellschaft (stock corporation) registered with the Handelsregister at the Amtsgericht Düsseldorf under number HRB 69068. According to registry-derived records, the underlying legal entity was first registered on 29 March 2005 as Bob Mobile Holding GmbH, converted from a GmbH into a stock corporation on 2 November 2005 as BOB MOBILE AG, and adopted its present name, Cliq Digital AG, with effect from 30 November 2012, following a shareholders resolution passed on 24 August 2012. The 1 January 2005 incorporation date recorded in some company data feeds appears to be a rounded placeholder rather than the registry’s actual formation date, and in any case predates both the entity’s conversion to a stock corporation and its current legal name by several years. The Handelsregister records Cliq Digital AG’s status as active, with its registered office in Düsseldorf.
Cliq Digital AG operates, together with its group of companies trading as CLIQ, a data-driven online performance-marketing business that licenses video, music, audiobook, sport and games content from partners, bundles it into subscription-based digital products, and sells the bundles to consumers worldwide, primarily through online performance marketing. According to its 2024 annual report, the Group operated in 40 countries and employed 132 staff of 33 nationalities as at 31 December 2024, and is headquartered in Düsseldorf with additional offices in Amsterdam and Paris. The current business took its present form in 2012, when Bob Mobile AG combined with the Dutch mobile-content company Cliq B.V. and renamed itself accordingly.
Cliq Digital AG’s shares (ISIN DE000A35JS40, ticker CLIQ) trade in the Scale segment of the Open Market (Freiverkehr) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, an SME growth-market segment that, under Section 2(5) of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG), does not constitute a regulated market; the company states in its own annual report that it is consequently not a capital-market-oriented company under Section 264d of the German Commercial Code, and that the Open Market is a distinct segment from the EU-regulated General Standard and Prime Standard. Effective 23 March 2026, the company is transferring to the exchange’s Basic Board Open Market segment, a change the management board announced on 12 December 2025 as a cost- and administrative-burden reduction rather than a full delisting, with shares remaining tradeable on Xetra.
For the 2024 financial year, Cliq Digital reported consolidated Group revenue of approximately 243.0 million euros, down from about 326.4 million euros in 2023, and a consolidated net loss of 27.9 million euros, driven substantially by a 26.6 million euro goodwill impairment; underlying EBITDA before special items was 21.4 million euros. For 2025, the company’s published guidance anticipated consolidated Group revenue of 180 to 220 million euros and EBITDA of 10 to 15 million euros after roughly 50 to 75 million euros of customer-acquisition spending. These are Group consolidated figures rather than unconsolidated figures for Cliq Digital AG on a standalone basis.
In the years following its 2005 stock-market listing as Bob Mobile AG, the company’s mobile subscription and premium-rate billing services drew German regulatory and media scrutiny over consumer complaints about unclear or unauthorised charges, including public criticism from the federal consumer-protection ministry in 2010; the Group’s current business relies on direct online, payment-card-based billing for its streaming subscription bundles.
