Gemalto Third Quarter 2013 RevenueAMSTERDAM --(Business Wire)-- Regulatory News: Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 - GTO), the world leader in digital security today announces its revenue for the third quarter of 2013.
Olivier Piou, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Gemalto's diversified businesses and geographic footprint led to another quarter of strong revenue growth. A key component of our new multi-year plan is the development of our Platforms & Services activity, and its performance, expanding nearly +30% since the beginning of the year, evidences the trust our customers place in us. Our Embedded software & Products activity also develops rapidly, as expected, with +8% in year-to-date revenue growth. With this progress and despite the adverse currency environment we are on track to deliver on our outlook for 2013, which remains unchanged." 1 See basis of preparation on page 2, and appendix 3 of this document for more information on ongoing operations. Basis of preparation of financial information Ongoing operations For a better understanding of the current and future year-on-year evolution of the business, the Company provides revenue from "ongoing operations" for both 2013 and 2012 reporting periods. The adjusted income statement for ongoing operations excludes, as per the IFRS income statement, the contribution from discontinued operations to the income statement, and also the contribution from assets classified as held for sale and from other items not related to ongoing operations. In this publication reported figures for ongoing operations only differ from figures for all operations by the contribution from assets held for sale. Appendix 3 bridges the revenue for ongoing operations to the revenue for all operations. Historical exchange rates and constant exchange rates figures Revenue variations are at constant exchange rates except where otherwise noted. The Company sells its products and services in a very large number of countries and is commonly remunerated in currencies other than the Euro. Fluctuations in exchange rates of these other currencies against the Euro have a translation impact on the reported Euro value of the Company revenues. Comparisons at constant exchange rates aim at eliminating the effect of currencies translation movements on the analysis of the Group revenue by translating prior year revenues at the same average exchange rate as applied in the current year. General information
For the period, revenue for ongoing operations was up by +10% year-on-year at constant exchange rates to €596 million, growing in all regions and in all main segments. The Mobile sector grew by +9%, with an identical increase in both Mobile Communication and Machine-to-Machine segments. The Payment & Identity sector grew by +13%, on the back of an excellent performance in Secure Transactions (+18%) and a lower increase (+5%) recorded in Security this quarter. Platforms & Services activities posted €113 million in revenue, an increase of +37% compared to the third quarter of 2012. All segments contributed to this remarkable expansion, which accounted for 55% of the total Company revenue increase of the quarter. In Embedded software and Products activities, revenue reached €483 million, up +5%, with solid developments in all main segments. Total Company revenue expansion was +10% at constant exchange rates and +4% at historical exchange rates. During the third quarter, effects of currency movements were significant due to the cumulative negative effect of fluctuations in exchange rates against the Euro of most currencies used by the Company in its activities, such as the American dollar (-6%), Brazilian real (-16%), British pound (-7%), Japanese yen (-25%) or South African rand (-22%).4 Revenue variations by segment and by region, at constant and historical exchange rates, are presented in appendix 1 and 2. Average exchange rates between the Euro and the US Dollar are presented in appendix 5.
2 "Mobile" includes the Mobile Communication and
Machine-to-Machine segments Segment information Mobile Communication
The Mobile Communication segment posted revenue of €287 million for the quarter, growing by +9% at constant exchange rates compared to the third quarter of 2012. Revenue from Platforms & Services grew by +25%, reaching €53 million. This growth came mainly from core subscriber services with LTE subscription management and other remote management services as well as operator billing services, which complemented the solid momentum in mobile payment activities. Embedded software & Products grew by 5% as deployments of LTE programs continue and demand for multi-tenant SIM cards increases, driving further mix improvement. Machine-to-Machine
The Machine-to-Machine segment posted revenue of €49 million, an increase of +9% at constant exchange rates. The increase in activity was driven by improving demand in the Americas and Europe. The demand for Cinterion modules and data management services stems from industrial sectors that are integrating mobile connectivity into their product offerings to reduce costs, improve data collection and deliver higher levels of service. The automotive and track & trace sectors as well as the developments in Platforms & Services initiated in the first semester, which represent an encouraging albeit, as yet, limited contribution, all posted positive dynamics during the quarter. Secure Transactions
Secure Transactions posted a +18% revenue increase at constant exchange rates to €162 million, extending the strong growth momentum started during the first semester of 2013. A large part of the revenue increase this quarter came from Asian countries that have begun their migration to EMV technology. More globally, the deployment of contactless and dual-interface electronic payment cards continues to grow in proportion, representing close to half of the quarter's deliveries. Revenue expansion in Platforms & Services was similar to the segment growth, driven by projects for mobile payment. Security
Revenue in Security grew in both the Government Programs and Identity & Access Management businesses, reaching €98 million, up +5% on top of the +22% growth posted for the same quarter of 2012. Contracts related to voter registration and post issuance drove a strong increase in Platforms & Services sales, and the Embedded software & Products activity captured new ePassport contracts that were up for renewal in Europe and Africa. Operational performance has been restored following the start up phase of two new facilities in the first semester, and even if quarterly oscillations in relative growth rates may occur in this dynamic business, the government contracts backlog remains healthy. Patents
The activity in Patents continues to be limited due to ongoing litigation initiated by the Company in the United States. As anticipated, no meaningful revenue was recognized during the third quarter. Additional information Identity for citizens - Gemalto announced several developments in the government identity space including new wins in both Embedded software & Products and Platforms & Services.
Machine-to-Machine - Several developments in the space reinforce Gemalto leadership in that market as well as its ability to partner within the ecosystem to facilitate the expansion of the internet of things.
