The past year saw a lot of findings and revelations that unsettled the society but on the other hand also mobilized the people and the media in a positive way. I consider this recognition to be crucial for further development. It brings us hope also in the current situation where we face a tremendous challenge posed by coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, let me express my strong belief that we will soon overcome the pandemic also thanks to all measures and we will be gradually returning to the original state and the positive economic growth. JOJ Media House experienced a very successful year. We strengthened our significant position in the Central European media market and the Group’s results have been getting better and better for several years in a row. Investments in advertising have increased year on year but we cannot expect the growth in the following year as a result of the ongoing pandemic. In our view, the important decision for the Group was to further expand our online media presence through the HyperMedia Group and our entry into the digital media agency PTA Group, broadening and diversifying our media portfolio. The year 2019 saw huge changes in the television industry. The media transfer of the decade took place when Petr Kellner bought CME Company’s television channels including Markíza. CME is thus leaving our market after more than twenty years. In 2019, the JOJ Group expanded its portfolio in the Czech Republic by becoming an owner of Československá filmová společnost and its five channels. Regarding the year 2019, I am very content with our television JOJ Group. We beat our competitors at viewership and the market share in primetime at the annual average. A strong autumn season was exceptionally successful as we reigned supreme in the market in an unrivalled way for the whole sec- ond half of the year, fulfilling our objectives unequivocally. I consider the last year successful in the sector of outdoor advertising as well. In Slovakia, it was particularly affected by presidential and parliamentary election campaigns. The changes in the metro advertising operators’ positions were extremely significant events. By winning the tenders, the BigBoard Group strengthened its position of clearly the largest OOH operator in the Czech Republic. Austrian Epamedia continues making substantial investments in innovation and digital advertising development with emphasis on environment and sustainability. I was also delighted with results achieved by our other companies like the Croatian newspapers or Radio Services which made their contribution to the Group’s historically best results. And finally, I would therefore like to thank our business partners and investors for their trust and particularly to all employees without whom we would not be able to develop our business and achieve the excellent results. Most importantly, I wish you all perfect health and success in the year 2020.
