Gemalto third quarter 2017 revenue

Adjusted income statement and profit from operations (PFO) non-GAAP measure

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and with section 2:362(9) of the Netherlands Civil Code.

To better assess its past and future performance, the Company also prepares an adjusted income statement where the key metric used to evaluate the business and make operating decisions over the period 2010 to 2017 is the profit from operations (PFO).

PFO is a non-GAAP measure defined as IFRS operating profit adjusted for (i) the amortization and impairment of intangibles resulting from acquisitions, (ii) restructuring and acquisition-related expenses, (iii) all equity-based compensation charges and associated costs; and (iv) fair value adjustments upon business acquisitions. These items are further explained as follows:

• Amortization, and impairment of intangibles resulting from acquisitions are defined as the amortization, and impairment expenses related to intangibles assets and goodwill recognized as part of the allocation of the excess purchase consideration over the share of net assets acquired.
   
• Restructuring and acquisitions-related expenses are defined as (i) restructuring expenses which are the costs incurred in connection with a restructuring as defined in accordance with the provisions of IAS 37 (e.g. sale or termination of a business, closure of a plant,.), and consequent costs; (ii) reorganization expenses defined as the costs incurred in connection with headcount reductions, consolidation of manufacturing and offices sites, as well as the rationalization and harmonization of the product and service portfolio and the integration of IT systems, consequent to a business combination; and (iii) transaction costs (such as fees paid as part of an acquisition process).
   
• Equity-based compensation charges are defined as (i) the discount granted to employees acquiring Gemalto shares under Gemalto Employee Stock Purchase plans; (ii) the amortization of the fair value of stock options and restricted share units granted by the Board of Directors to employees; and the related costs.
   
• Fair value adjustments over net assets acquired are defined as the reversal, in the income statement, of the fair value adjustments recognized as a result of a business combination, as prescribed by IFRS3R. Those adjustments are mainly associated with (i) the amortization expense related to the step-up of the acquired work-in-progress and finished goods assumed at their realizable value and (ii) the amortization of the cancelled commercial margin related to deferred revenue balance acquired.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable IFRS measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.

In the adjusted income statement, Operating Expenses are defined as the sum of Research and Engineering expenses, Sales and Marketing expenses, General and Administrative expenses, and Other income (expense) net.

EBITDA is defined as PFO plus depreciation and amortization expenses, excluding the above amortization and impairment of intangibles resulting from acquisitions.

Net debt and net cash

Net debt is a non IFRS measure defined as total borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents. Net cash is a non IFRS measure defined as cash and cash equivalents net of total borrowings.

General information

Third quarter 2017 total revenue came in at €751 million, up 3% at constant exchange rates and stable at historical exchange rates.

The Payment & Identity segment revenue grew +7%, at €481 million. This segment represented 64% of the total Company revenue this quarter. The Mobile segment decreased by (2%) at €269 million.

The Platforms & Services activity posted revenue of €257 million, up +15% year-on-year driven by growth in eGovernment services, Enterprise cybersecurity solutions and Mobile Platforms & Services. Platforms & Services activity represented 34% of the total Company revenue.

Embedded software & Products revenue came in at €493 million, (2%) lower compared to the same period of last year. The lower sales of banking cards to financial institutions in the US and removable SIMs were partially offset by growing deliveries of e-documents to Governments and wireless modules for the Internet of Things.

Revenue variations by region, at constant and historical exchange rates, are presented in Appendix.

Segment information

Payment & Identity

The Payment & Identity segment revenue was €481 million this quarter, increasing by +7% compared to the same period of last year. The segment's Embedded software & Products revenue came in at €275 million while its Platforms & Services revenue was €206 million.

The Government Programs business revenue increased by +58% year-on-year, at €169 million which includes €50 million from the recently acquired Identity Management Business. During the quarter, both Gemalto's organic Government Programs business and the Identity Management Business grew double digits. The EMEA region stood out with several border control project deliveries.

The Enterprise business revenue increased to €113 million, up by +1% compared to the same period of last year. The Data Protection business line recorded double digit growth on the back of the increasing number of data breaches that call for more robust and broader encryption solutions. This revenue growth was curbed by revenue headwinds resulting from the ongoing business model shift from hardware to services in the Authentication business line.

The Payment business revenue came in at €199 million, down (14%) year-on-year. Sales in Americas decreased by (25%) in the third quarter compared with (37%) in the first semester, essentially due to the drop in demand related to the ongoing US EMV market slow normalization process.

Mobile

The Mobile segment posted revenue of €269 million this quarter, (2%) lower compared to the same period of last year.

Embedded software & Products revenue for the segment came in at €217 million. The Machine-to-Machine business grew by +12% to €88 million. This long term dynamic is driven by increasing demand for connectivity in the Internet of Things (IoT) for uses in automotive, asset tracking, healthcare solutions and smart meters. SIM sales were lower by (12%) at €129 million, in line with expectations for the second semester. The SIM market was under strong pressure in this quarter and is expected to remain so as mobile network operators continue to focus their investments on next generation connectivity.

Platforms & Services revenue for the segment came in at €52 million this quarter, up +3% year-on-year. During the quarter, Gemalto continued to actively participate to the development of embedded SIMs (eSIMs) and its remote provisioning ecosystem as endorsed by the GSMA, resulting in new references with connected device makers and mobile network operators such as those recently announced with Telefónica and Lenovo.

Patents & Others

Patents & Others revenue was €1.3 million this quarter versus €0.7 million during the same period in 2016.

Outlook

Gemalto confirms its 2017 second semester expectations of a stable revenue year-on-year leading to profit from operations of between €200 million and €230 million including the acquired Identity Management Business. As a result, profit from operations for the full year is expected to be between €293 million and €323 million.
