Financial Press Releases

Pre-audit figures
 

Paris, 9 May 2016 - ATEME (ISIN: FR0011992700), world specialist in video compression, enjoyed a strong start to 2016. First-quarter amounted €7.4 million, up 12% year-on-year and 11% at constant exchange rates despite a high basis for comparison (reported growth of 32% for the first three months of 2015).

Growth in the EMEA region, the Group's largest market, amounted to 35%. During the first quarter, ATEME secured numerous new contracts, both with existing clients such as Eurovision and new ones, including IHA Broadcast Services, Turkey's leading news agency. 
 

Revenues for the USA and Canada declined by 16%, partly due to a high base effect in the United States where the Group secured a major order during Q1 2015.

Activity for Latin America was satisfactory despite a weaker economic backdrop, with the decline in revenues limited to 6%. After being selected to power 4k content for Globo Play OTT services in Brazil at the start of the year, the Group continued to actively canvass new business in the region, in particular ahead the Olympic Games in Rio this summer.

Revenues declined by 13% in the Asia Pacific region. ATEME is pursuing its development strategy in the region and is beginning to reap the benefits of the reorganization of its sales and enterprise marketing resources in 2015, notably with the recent signing of a contract with Vietnamese operator, FPT Telecom.

Closer partnership with Intel®

Acceleration in growth in the second half of 2016 confirmed
 

These latest developments confirm our confidence in the potential of the new TITAN 4.0 software which is currently being tested by major operators in the US and Europe. The first sales are expected as of the second quarter and will contribute to an acceleration in growth. ATEME continues to benefit from a buoyant market driven by the surge in video consumption around the world and the increasing take-up of Ultra High Definition (UHD) solutions.
