Annual Report 2017 Foreword Foreword Axel Springer SE We have consistently implemented these messages. A winning formula that has been better understood, even outside of Axel Springer. As well as the fact that in the digital world we rely on both journalism and classifieds offerings: We give our customers more and more exactly what they need – precise information for important life decisions, for example when looking for a job or a flat. Therefore, the Axel Springer share benefited from signifi- cant valuation premiums. The price increase of 41.2 % and the clear outperformance of all benchmark indices confirm this. In the second half of 2017 in particular, the share reached new all-time highs several times. Axel Springer owns one of the world's largest portfolios of online classifieds companies, including brands such as StepStone, SeLoger and Yad2. This business is perceived much more by analysts and investors than ever before. For many of them, it now accounts for the majority of the company value.

  • What Do News Aggregators Do? Evidence from Google News in Spain and Germany*
    What Do News Aggregators Do? Evidence from Google News in Spain and Germany* Joan Calzada† Ricard Gil‡ December 2018 Abstract The impact of aggregators on news outlets is ambiguous. In particular, the existing theoretical literature highlights that although aggregators create a market expansion effect when they bring visitors to news outlets, they also generate a substitution effect if some visitors switch from the news outlets to the aggregators. Using the shutdown of the Spanish edition of Google News in December of 2014 and difference-in-differences methodology, this paper empirically examines the relevance of these two effects. We show the shutdown of Google News in Spain decreased the number of daily visits to Spanish news outlets between 8% and 14%, and that this effect was larger in outlets with less overall daily visits and a lower share of international visitors. We also find evidence suggesting that the shutdown decreased online advertisement revenues and advertising intensity at news outlets. We then analyze the effect of the opt-in policy adopted by the German edition of Google News in October of 2014. Although such policy did not significantly affect the daily visits of all outlets that opted out, it reduced by 8% the number of visits of the outlets controlled by the publisher Axel Springer. Our results demonstrate the existence of a net market-expansion effect through which news aggregators increase consumers' awareness of news outlets' contents, thereby increasing their number of visits. * We thank Shane Greenstein, Avi
