UK-based price comparison website Moneysupermarket.com Group Plc (MONY.L) said Thursday that its third-quarter and year-to-date financial results and performance are in line with the Board's expectations.
During the quarter, the company's revenue from Insurance grew over 30%, driven by higher visitor numbers and an increase in revenue per visitor from improved consumer conversion on provider sites. The core motor insurance channel also witnessed more than 30% revenue compared with the prior-year quarter.
Although visitor numbers continued to rise from last year in Insurance, there was decline in its rate of growth as competition remained intense, the company noted. Moneysupermarket.com also said that other insurance channels revenue, including home insurance grew more than 60% from last year.
Insurance's margins were adversely impacted by higher consumer acquisition costs and a rise in Google acquisition costs. In the fourth quarter, margins have normalized, due to an overall reduction in the costs.
Further, the company stated that extremely tough trading conditions continued in its Money business as the global banking crisis deepened in the quarter. Overall, revenues in Money declined more than 15% year-over-year. Visitors to the Money vertical were however up more than 10% against the same period last year.
Moneysupermarket.com also stated that revenues in Travel continued to grow, with third-quarter revenue rising about 10% from the same period last year, largely driven by increasing visitor numbers. The company's Home Services revenues also rose over 100% in the third quarter, with more than 60% upside in the number of visitors.
Meanwhile, mortgage 2000, the offline business which specializes in supporting mortgage intermediaries, continued to decline, reflecting the wider mortgage market.
MONY.L is trading at 47 pence on the LSE, up 1 pence, on a volume of 410,281 shares.
