Paris, 16 July 2021 - ATEME (ISIN: FR0011992700) reported revenues of €16.9m for the Second Quarter, up by 1% reported and down 14% like for like. The decline mainly reflects delays in booking and shipping three large orders.

Revenues amounted to €32.4m for the Six Months to 30 June 2021, up by 12% on a reported basis and down by 4% like for like with differing contributions from the four regions:

• revenues rose 68% year-on-year to €13,339K, a strong performance on the back of organic growth of 12% and the addition of Anevia sales. The region starts Q3 with a strong backlog, including a significant contribution of a large deal sealed in Q1 with a Tier1 content provider in the UK.
• The USA/Canada region delivered revenues of €10,465K, down 17%, and by 16% like for like. The region starts Q3 with a strong pipeline and is expected to catch up on 2020 revenues by the end of Q3.
• Latin America revenues were up 42% to €4,276K, thanks to a significant contribution of Anevia revenues. On a like-for like basis they declined by 1%.
• Asia Pacific revenues were down 19% to €4,357K, reflecting a negative base effect (+34% last year). The contribution of Anevia in this region is minor.

Monthly recurring revenues amounts to almost €1.7m in July 2021, with a high ratio of renewal of existing support contracts in all regions.

Impact of the pandemic and global semiconductor shortage

With international travel restrictions still mostly in place, very few customers worldwide have begun meeting with suppliers again while the main industry trade shows have been rescheduled (from April to October for the NAB in Las Vegas and from September to December for the IBC in Amsterdam). If the travel situation improves thanks to the roll-out of the vaccination and these events successfully attract visitors, they could trigger a rebound in Fourth Quarter sales.

Elsewhere, some semiconductor companies are facing production challenges which are impacting the major server manufacturers. This is leading to higher lead times and costs, in turn delaying delivery and impacting the gross margin for projects where our clients are sourcing their hardware through us. We are securing buffer inventory to mitigate impact on customers.

Outlook for the Full Year

A strong Q3 is expected thanks to:

• A high backlog and strong pipeline going into the Third Quarter;
• The anticipated acceleration of Anevia's NEA software sales following significant efforts to promote it to Ateme's installed base;

• The expected improvement in the Covid-19 situation and positive impact of the NAB show in October.

For the Full Year, we therefore expect to exceed our 10-15% growth target on a reported basis and to deliver
0-5% growth on a like-for-like basis.

In terms of bottom line, the First Half is expected lower than the previous years as a result of:

• Continued investments in R&D, with a total group headcount up from 460 to 490;
• Expected negative contribution from Anevia which was structurally non profitable and exposed to the same seasonality as Ateme;
• Meaningful synergies from the acquisition of Anevia remain expected predominantly from 2022 onwards.

As a result, our EBITDA target of €5m in 2021 appears challenging; our target of €10m for 2022 remains achievable.

With an MMR² of close to €1.7m in July 2021, we are well on track to achieve our target of €3m MRR by 2024.

Ateme Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Michel Artières, said: “The revenue outturn of the First Half of 2021 is below our objective for the Full Year, while profitability for the First Half is also expected below previous years. This reflects our proactive investment strategy to boost our software roadmap in order to ensure the market leadership position of the combination of Titan and Nea. These actions will start to pay off in the Second Half, as reflected in the strong pipeline. In addition, the progression of MRRs is ahead of expectations, taking account of the traditional seasonality of our industry, highlighting our successful efforts to drive growth and profitability over the medium-term.”
