Best ever NAB Show for Ateme
More international visitors returned to the NAB Show - the largest trade show in the industry – which took place in April in Las Vegas. While the overall attendance was still down 28% compared to 2019, the footfall at Ateme's booth exceeded its pre-Covid level by 8%.
Key demonstrations included:
- High Quality of Experience using Ateme's AI-compression, increasing viewer satisfaction while controlling the cost of ownership.
- Multi-cloud video delivery solutions in both the AWS (Amazon Web Services) and GCP (Google Cloud Platform) marketplaces, reinforcing Ateme's leadership in the cloud migration customer journey.
- Audience-aware streaming: Ateme's end-to-end solution based on its machine-learning patent, enabling automatic optimization of compression resources to reduce the global traffic on the CDN.
- Next generation fan engagement solutions, merging video streaming with E-commerce and AR/VR/XR experiences.
- Ateme's general sustainability value proposition, with its high-performance solutions contributing to reducing the carbon footprint of video services.
On the same note, ‘Greening of Streaming', the industry association of which Ateme is both a founding member and an active leader in many working group initiatives, was recognized with a NAB Sustainability Award.
All financial objectives confirmed
The traction at NAB generated by demos of our new consumer engagement technologies reinforces our other tailwinds, notably the strong start to 2023, the healthy commercial pipeline, and the compelling proposition of the combined Titan compression solution with NEA delivery solutions.
We are therefore confident in reiterating our financial objectives for the current and outer years as follows:
- Revenue growth exceeding 10% in 2023;
- EBITDA of €5-10 million in 2023, above €10 million in 2024, and €30 million in 2026;
- Ongoing development of Monthly Recurring Revenues, with an objective of €3 million in 2024 and €4 million in 2026.
Michel Artières, Chairman and CEO of Ateme, commented: “2023 has begun with a flying start, and Ateme enjoyed its most successful ever NAB Show, showcasing its state-of-the-art technology and sustainability value proposition. This strong momentum, healthy commercial pipeline and the positive customer reaction to our combined Titan / NEA offer underpin our confidence in our current year and mid-term objectives.”
