A GLOBAL VIEW OF MOBILE ADVERTISING:

Europe Regional Summary Q2 2011



InMobi Mobile Insights - Network Data

Release date: July 18 2011
ABOUT THE RESEARCH
Project Background

After launching in 2007 in Asia, InMobi quickly grew to become the world's largest independent
mobile advertising network. In the second quarter of 2011, we served 104.9 billion impressions in
165 markets worldwide. With a physical presence in 5 continents, over 5,000 publisher partners,
and a broad, independent market footprint, InMobi is well positioned to provide an objective,
comprehensive, and representative view of the mobile advertising market.
Research Objectives

We have three goals with this research:
1. Help educate the market. Statistics and information about the state of mobile
advertising are lacking in most regions of the world.
2. Track consumer opinions regarding mobile advertising. With any emerging
medium, the consumer perspective is critical to overall market success. We see
a need for trending across regions in this area.
3. Collaborate with industry thought leaders to increase market insight and improve
information quality ongoing. As a global independent company, we value
partnerships that will strengthen our understanding of the market. Researchers,
thought-leaders, and analysts are encouraged to contact us and apply for full
partner access.

Beginning July 2011, InMobi is moving towards
quarterly data views which will highlight broader
industry trends and provide an overview of the
global mobile advertising market.
NETWORK DATA
Data in this report are sourced from our global mobile advertising network which served 104.9 billion
impressions in the second quarter of 2011. With 165 countries receiving over 1 million impressions
monthly, we are able to claim one of the broadest and most representative networks in the world. Exact
specifications are as follows:
Global Available Impressions in Quarter 2, 2011: 104.9 billion
Regions Represented: Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, North America, and South America
Countries Represented: 114 countries with over 10 million impressions per month
Base Measure: Available Impressions
Reports: Market Summary, Manufacturer Share, OS Share, and Top Handsets & Connected Devices
Time Periods: Q1 2011 (January March 2011), Q2 2011 (April June 2011)
Comparisons: Q2 2011 versus Q1 2011
InMobi is committed to an independent and transparent leadership position in mobile advertising. With that in mind,
the following issues are present in this data.

Mobile Advertising Market Definition: This report covers mobile display advertising only including both WAP and
APP. SMS/Text and Search are NOT included in this synopsis.

Scale and Time In Market: Representation within the network is a function of the both scale and time in market.
Readers can expect more fluctuation and variance in younger, smaller markets for the company.
Publisher Mix: As with any ad network, market representation is a function of the publisher mix. We have over
5,000 publishers of all sizes and content types, but changes to the publisher mix in a given market could impact the
data.

Advertiser Mix: Similar to publisher mix, the advertiser mix could impact the numbers in our network, although to a
much lesser extent than publishers.

Android continues to grow and remains the top mobile platform in the region, but lost
-5.0 share points in Q2. iPhone OS and RIM OS capture share from Android in Q2 as
they grow quicker.
" Q4 2010 and Q1 2011 showed Android growth far outpacing the market, but that trend has been reversed in Q2. This is
partially driven by the strength of the Apple iPad.
" The top three OS platforms (Android, iPhone OS, RIM OS) represent 3 out of every 5 ad impressions delivered in Europe.
