Transcription

1 Gemalto first half 2007 results Revenue for the first half at 760 million Operating income 1 at 15 million Ongoing adjustments in operating cost structure delivering benefits Strong net cash position at 291 million after use of 100 million in share buyback program Amsterdam, September 13, Gemalto (Euronext NL GTO), the leader in digital security, today announced its results for the half year ended June 30, Highlights of the adjusted income statement 1 (figures below are at historical exchange rates): in millions H H Year-on-year change 2 Net sales (10.2)% Gross profit (14.6)% Gross margin (%) 30.7% 29.2% (1.5) ppts Operating expenses (7.8)% Operating income (53.6)% Operating margin (%) 3.9% 2.0% (1.9) ppts Profit for the period (15.2)% Adjusted basic earnings per share (euro) (15.3)% The above mentioned adjusted measures (unaudited) exclude accounting entries related to the business combination with Gemplus, as well as one-off expenses and reorganization charges incurred in connection with this transaction. They are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable IFRS measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the condensed consolidated interim financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS (unaudited) provided in appendix 6. Gemalto believes these adjusted financial measures are helpful in assessing its past financial performance and its future results. Olivier Piou, Chief Executive Officer, commented: Gemalto s performance in the first half of 2007 reflects the benefits of our pricing discipline in Mobile Communication, the first effects of our cost structure adjustments to better address the market environment, and good patent licensing activity. During this first semester, we moved from managing post-merger integration to actively developing our joint capabilities and winning significant digital security business. We remain confident that the second half of 2007 will further reflect the benefits of our strategy, which combines initiatives for profitable growth with cost reduction programs. 1 The H adjusted income statement measures presented in this press release were prepared on an adjusted basis reflecting the consolidated activity of the Group over the first half-year, excluding accounting entries related to the business combination with Gemplus, as well as one-off expenses and reorganization charges incurred in connection with this transaction; the H adjusted income statement measures presented for comparison were prepared on the same adjusted basis and are pro forma measures, reflecting the combined activity of Gemalto and Gemplus over the period, and assuming that the combination had taken place as of January 1, At historical (reported) exchange rates. 3 Operating expenses include research & engineering expenses, sales & marketing expenses and general & administrative expenses; they do not include other operating income & expenses, net. 4 The H Adjusted basic earnings per share were determined on the basis of the average number of Gemalto shares outstanding during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 i.e. taking into account the effect of the share buy-back on the average number of shares outstanding during the period. The H Adjusted basic earnings per share were determined on the basis of the average number of Gemalto shares issued during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 less the average number of Treasury shares held by the Company during the six-month period ended June 30,

2 Basis of preparation of financial information The Company s condensed consolidated interim income statements, balance sheets, statements of shareholders equity and cash flow statements (unaudited) presented in appendix 6 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS). Additional financial information on an adjusted basis (unaudited) is presented that is not in conformity with IFRS, in particular the presentation of cost of sales, operating expenses and operating income, operating margin and earnings per share which exclude one-off combination related expenses, reorganization charges and charges resulting from the accounting treatment of the transaction. Charges resulting from the accounting treatment of the transaction consist of amortization of inventory step-up, additional stock-based compensation due to the revaluation of Gemplus stock options as of combination date, amortization and impairment of intangible assets. One-off combination related expenses consist of charges which would have not been incurred had the transaction not occurred: professional advisory services incurred in connection with the integration, new Gemalto brand and logo creation and worldwide registration, as well as impairment charges related to capitalized development costs on projects which are redundant with existing products or technologies available in Gemplus. Most of the combination related expenses were incurred in Reorganization charges consist of cost related headcount reductions in the support functions, the consolidation of manufacturing and office sites (including asset write-offs and transfer cost, severance cost, lease termination and building refurbishment cost) as well as the rationalization and harmonization of the product and service portfolio. The Company believes that this information, which is not in conformity with IFRS, is helpful supplemental information in order to better assess its past and future performance. In addition, the Company s management uses this information in its own planning and in assessment of its operating performance. This information provided by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Because the business combination between Gemalto and Gemplus took place as of June 2, 2006, the adjusted financial information presented for the first half of 2006 was prepared on a pro forma basis, and reflects the combined activity of the two companies over the period, assuming that the combination had taken place as of January 1, The Company provides reconciliations between the IFRS and adjusted income statements for the first half of This reconciliation is presented in a table in appendix 4. The IFRS consolidated income statement for the first half 2007 (unaudited) shows an operating loss of 65.9 million and a loss for the period of 48.4 million, including amortization and impairment of intangible assets for 23.0 million, reorganization expenses for 55.1 million and combination related expenses for 1.2 million. For a more detailed description of adjustments made to the IFRS consolidated income statement, please refer to DESCRIPTION OF ADJUSTED MEASURES at the end of this press release. All comparisons in this document are at historical (reported) exchange rates, unless stated otherwise, and describe the evolution of the adjusted first half 2007 information compared to that of the first half 2006 prepared on a pro forma basis. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates against the Euro have an impact on the Euro value of Group revenues. Comparisons at constant exchange rates aim at neutralizing this translation effect on the analysis of the Group operations. When Gemalto compares its historical figures for the current year against the prior year s figures at constant exchange rates, it assumes that the exchange rate of the Euro against such other currencies in the prior year would have been the same as in the current year. 2

3 Adjusted income statement 5 analysis Extract of the adjusted income statement (figures below are at historical exchange rates): * * * Six months ended June 30, 2006 Six months ended June 30, 2007 in millions As a % of sales in millions As a % of sales % change 6 Revenue (10.2)% Gross profit % % (14.6)% EBITDA % % (31.9)% Operating expenses % % (7.8)% Operating income % % (53.6)% Profit for the period % % (15.2)% At constant exchange rates revenue was down 6% reflecting lower revenue in Mobile Communication and patent licensing, partly offset by growth in Secure Transactions revenue driven by EMV 8 and contactless payment volumes and higher pay TV activity. On a geographic basis and at constant exchange rates revenue was down 15% in the Americas and down 4% in Asia, mainly due to lower revenue in Mobile Communication. In EMEA 9 revenue was down 4%, with growth in Secure Transactions and ID & Security offsetting lower revenue in Mobile Communication. Gross margin was 29.2% compared with 30.7% in a first half of 2006 that had benefited from unusually high patent licensing revenue ( 24.1 million against 14.1 million in the first half of 2007) and from a number of positive one-off items. The lower contribution of Mobile Communication to total revenue and lower margin in Secure Transactions also accounted for the year-on-year decrease. Operating expenses decreased by 17.8 million, i.e. 7.8% year-on-year, reflecting the effects of cost reduction measures implemented in the support functions after the combination. Compared with the first half of 2006, General & Administrative expenses were down by 13.6%. Consequently, operating income was at 15.2 million with operating margin at 2.0%. This performance reflects higher margins in Mobile Communication and to patent licensing revenue recorded earlier in the year than anticipated. 5 The H adjusted income statement measures presented in this press release were prepared on an adjusted basis reflecting the consolidated activity of the Group over the first half-year, excluding accounting entries related to the business combination with Gemplus, as well as one-off expenses and reorganization charges incurred in connection with this transaction; the H adjusted income statement measures presented for comparison were prepared on the same adjusted basis and are pro forma measures, reflecting the combined activity of Gemalto and Gemplus over the period, and assuming that the combination has taken place as of January 1, At historical (reported) exchange rates. 7 EBITDA is defined as operating income plus depreciation ( 26.7 million in H versus 31.2 million in H1 2006) and amortization expenses ( 8.6 million in H versus 10.3 million in H1 2006). These amounts exclude amortization and impairment charges related to the intangible assets of Gemplus identified upon Combination pursuant to IFRS 3 «Business Combination». 8 EMV is a set of specifications adopted by Europay, MasterCard and Visa Card for the migration of bank cards to smart card technology 9 Europe, Middle East, Africa 3

4 Financial income was 10.1 million. It comprises net interest income of 5.0 million, a gain of 3.8 million on the disposal of an investment held for sale, and foreign exchange gains of 1.4 million. The Company also recognized a gain of 9.4 million in relation with the sale of an investment in an Associate. Adjusted pre-tax income was 33.1 million, and income tax charges amounted to 8.6 million. As a result, adjusted profit for the period was 24.5 million. Reorganization charges reported in the IFRS income statement Charges incurred in connection with headcount reductions in the support functions, with the consolidation of manufacturing and office sites, as well as the rationalization and harmonization of the product and service portfolio, are disclosed under a line named Reorganization expenses in the IFRS income statement and amounted to 55.1 million. This amount consisted of severance costs for 42.9 million (mainly related to the closure of production facilities in the Americas, Asia and Europe), to fixed asset and inventory write-offs for 11.0 million and to other costs, mainly related to IT integration, for 1.2 million. The implementation of the related reorganization plans will result in the curtailment of certain pension obligations. A credit of 2.4 million was recognized in the first half of 2007 in connection with these curtailments, in reduction of cost of sales and operating expenses. This credit is reflected in the Adjusted measures. Balance sheet and cash flow (IFRS measures) Free cash flow 10 was an outflow of 24.9 million, after capital expenditure of 29.2 million, of which 17.7 million was incurred for plant, property and equipment purchases, and approximately 16 million used in connection with restructuring measures. The disposal of the investment held for sale and of the investment in an Associate mentioned above provided 20.5 million in cash. Working capital requirements slightly decreased during the first half by 1 million. Excluding the increase in reserves for restructuring plans launched in the period, working capital requirements grew by an estimated 29 million compared with 2006 year-end. This evolution was mainly due to the seasonal increase in inventory recorded at June 30, 2007 in anticipation of the stronger activity scheduled for the second half of the year. Compared with June 30, 2006 working capital requirement was down by 28 million, a year-on-year improvement of 13%. The share buy-back program effectively started on January 29 and used 100 million in cash. 5.4 million shares were purchased in the first half of the year, representing 5.9% of Gemalto s share capital. This program authorizes the Company to acquire up to 10% of its share capital. In addition, 4 million in cash were used as part of the completion of the squeeze-out of Gemplus shares. Gemalto s net cash position was 291 million at June 30, The decrease of 105 million compared with December 31, 2006 corresponds almost exactly to the cash used in the share buy-back and the acquisition of the remaining Gemplus shares. 10 Free cash flow is defined as net cash flow from operating activities less the purchase of property, plant and equipment and other investments related to the operating cycle (excluding acquisitions and financial investments). 4

5 Segment information 11 Extract of the adjusted pro forma income statements are at historical exchange rates unless otherwise mentioned. Mobile Communication Six months ended June 30, 2006 Six months ended June 30, 2007 in millions As a % of revenue in millions As a % of revenue % change 12 Revenue (14.9)% Gross profit % % (12.1)% Operating expenses % % (17.5)% Operating income % % 17.1% At constant exchange rates, Mobile Communication revenue was down 11%. Deliveries of SIM cards rose 4%, reflecting Gemalto s strict pricing discipline and selective approach to tenders. As a result, the year-on-year decrease in average SIM card selling price was contained to 15% at constant exchange rates, a very significant improvement compared with 34% a year ago. The average selling price increased by 7% at constant exchange rates in the second quarter compared with the first, due to more favorable regional and product mixes. The purchasing and other manufacturing synergy measures implemented in the last twelve months have begun to generate significant savings. Consequently, with lower revenue, gross margin in the first half was up 1.1 percentage points to 34.5% of revenue. Operating expenses were reduced by 18%, reflecting the positive impact of the operating adjustments put in place following the merger, especially in General & Administrative expenses as well as the redeployment of Research & Engineering and support resources to other segments. Accordingly, operating income was 35.7 million with operating margin at 8.5%. This marks a strong improvement when compared with the 6.2% reported in the first half of 2006, a figure that included favorable one-off items. 11 All segment information provided in this press release is on an adjusted basis (unaudited), excluding one-off expenses incurred in connection with the combination with Gemplus, reorganization charges and charges resulting from the accounting treatment of the transaction. The segment information related to H was prepared on a pro forma basis, reflecting the combined activity of Gemalto and Gemplus over the period, and assuming that the combination had taken place as of January 1, At historical (reported) exchange rates. 5

6 Secure Transactions Six months ended June 30, 2006 Six months ended June 30, 2007 in millions As a % of revenue in millions As a % of revenue % change 13 Revenue % Gross profit % % (17.3)% Operating expenses % % (2.0)% Operating income (loss) (3.9) (2.0)% (9.5) (4.9)% NM At constant exchange rates revenue was up by 4%, with strong growth in microprocessor-based payment products, personalization services as well as pay TV activity offsetting continued pressure on selling prices. Deliveries of microprocessor cards were up 13%, led mainly by EMV migration and card renewals in developed markets in Western Europe, and contactless payment in Asia. Gross margin in this segment was down by 3.8 percentage points to 17.3%, reflecting the decrease in sales prices and less favorable product and regional mixes. The cost reductions expected from the restructuring plans launched should materialize significantly in this segment only in Consequently, the segment reported a 9.5 million operating loss. ID & Security Six months ended June 30, 2006 Six months ended June 30, 2007 in millions As a % of revenue in millions As a % of revenue % change 13 Revenue (8.0)% Gross profit % % (27.1)% Operating expenses % % +16.9% Operating income (loss) % (11.5) (11.7)% NM At constant exchange rates revenue was down 5%, as a result of lower patent licensing revenue ( 14.1 million) when compared with the unusually high revenue ( 24.1 million) reported in the first half of Revenue from Government Programs that includes e-passports, e-identity and healthcare cards was stable, as many of the large-scale projects recently won were only in their ramp-up phase. Security (i.e. Identity & Access Management for on-line applications) revenue was down slightly due to lower deliveries of microprocessor devices in the Americas. Transport revenue increased thanks to higher activity in Latin America. The lower gross profit and 9.2 percentage point decrease in gross margin in the segment was mainly due to the lower patent licensing revenue. In line with Gemalto s strategy to grow the ID & Security business, operating expenses were driven up by 6.7 million. Research & Engineering and Sales & Marketing expenses increased by 3.3 million and 2.2 million respectively, following the reallocation to this growth business of technical and marketing resources which played a key part in the winning of several large- 13 At historical (reported) exchange rates. 6

7 scale tenders, such as the German healthcare project. Consequently, the segment reported an operating loss of 11.5 million for the semester. Public Telephony Six months ended June 30, 2006 Six months ended June 30, 2007 in millions As a % of revenue in millions As a % of revenue % change 14 Revenue (33.1)% Gross profit % % % Operating expenses % % (38.9)% Operating income (loss) (1.5) (4.5)% % NM Memory cards for Public Telephony contribute less than 3% of Group revenue, as worldwide demand continues to decrease, reflecting the even more widespread usage of mobile telephony worldwide. The significant improvement in gross margin and the decrease in operating expenses reflect the aggressive cost adjustments in manufacturing and support structure carried out since the merger. Consequently, the segment reported an operating income of 2.6 million, against a 1.5 million loss in the first half Point-of-Sale Terminals Six months ended June 30, 2006 Six months ended June 30, 2007 in millions As a % of sales in millions As a % of sales % change 14 Revenue % Gross profit % % (15.2)% Operating expenses % % +16.4% Operating income (loss) (0.1) (0.3)% (2.1) (7.3)% NM The launch of a new range of products developed on a new technology platform in the fourth quarter of 2006 supported much of the revenue growth in the first half of During this period, strong activity in geographic areas where pricing levels are lower accounted for the decrease in gross profit compared with the same period of last year. Research & Engineering resources continued to be invested in the development of customizations and high end applications for the new platform, resulting in an operating loss of 2.1 million. 14 At historical (reported) exchange rates. 7

8 Outlook In the second half of 2007, operating margin 15 should reflect the usual favorable seasonal pattern and the increasing contribution of the first digital security solutions deployments. It will also benefit from additional cost synergies from the combination. Gemalto continues to anticipate sustained demand in all of its key markets. It will continue to proactively make the necessary adjustments to its cost base and remains determined to reach its stated objective of an operating margin 15 above 10% in Reporting calendar Third quarter 2007 revenue will be reported on November 8, 2007, before the opening of Euronext Paris. 15 Prepared on an adjusted basis, reflecting the consolidated activity of the Group over the first half year, excluding one-off expenses incurred in connection with the combination with Gemplus, reorganization charges and charges resulting from the accounting treatment of the transaction 8

9 GEMALTO FIRST HALF 2007 FINANCIAL RESULTS DESCRIPTION OF ADJUSTED MEASURES Due to the combination with Gemplus, Gemalto s financial statements have undergone significant change, due in particular to the accounting treatment of this transaction in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combination. To supplement the financial statements presented on an IFRS basis, the Group presents the adjusted information described in the table below. Adjusted measures exclude certain business combination accounting entries, and expenses directly incurred in connection with the combination with Gemplus, that the Group believes are helpful in understanding its past financial performance and its future results. Adjusted 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 consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management regularly uses these supplemental adjusted financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the business and take operating decisions. These adjusted measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of executives is based in part on the performance of the business based on these adjusted measures. Adjusted financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effect: Amortization of inventory step-up: IFRS 3 Business Combination requires Gemalto to value work-in progress and finished goods assumed in connection with the combination at net realizable value (the estimated revenue derived from the future sale of these goods less expected selling cost). Therefore, the value of this inventory in the books of Gemplus on combination date was adjusted accordingly (step-up). Thus, subsequent sales of the work-in-progress and finished products carried in Gemplus inventory at the time of the combination generate a lower margin than if they were manufactured after the acquisition, all other factors being equal. The amortization expense related to this step up is therefore disclosed in the income statement under a separate line below Cost of Sales. The adjustment, eliminating amortization of inventory step-up, is intended to restore the normal margin of such sales. The Group believes this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of its business. Additional stock-based compensation charge: As prescribed by IFRS 2 Share-based payment and IFRS 3 Business Combination, vested and unvested stock options or awards granted by an acquirer in exchange for stock options or awards held by employees of the purchased company, or any substantially equivalent commitment by the acquirer to assume the obligations of the acquiree with regards to stock options granted to the latter s employees, as is the case for Gemalto under the Combination Agreement, shall be considered to be part of the purchase price for the acquirer, and the fair value (at the effective date of the acquisition or merger) of the new (acquirer) awards shall be included in the purchase price. It leads to increase the compensation charge related to stock-options granted by Gemplus prior to the acquisition. The adjustment, eliminating the additional stock-based compensation charge, is intended to reflect the compensation charge that Gemplus would expense if the company continued to operate on a standalone basis. The Group believes this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of its business. 9

10 Amortization and impairment of intangible assets: amortization and impairment of intangible assets created as a result of the combination with Gemplus have been excluded from the adjusted profit for the period. The Group believes this is useful because, prior to this combination in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, it did not incur significant charges of this nature, and the exclusion of this amount helps investors understand the evolution of IFRS operating expenses in periods subsequent to the combination with Gemplus. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to revenue earned during the period and will contribute to future revenue generation and that these amortization expenses will be recurring. Combination related charges: In 2006, Gemalto incurred material expenses in connection with the combination with Gemplus, which it would not have otherwise incurred. Combination related charges consist of professional advisory services incurred in connection with the integration, new Gemalto brand and logo creation and worldwide registration, as well as impairment charges related to capitalized development costs on projects which are redundant with existing products or technologies available in Gemplus. Gemalto also determined that its investment in a listed company was impaired as a consequence of the combination with Gemplus. The related impairment charge was recorded in Financial income (loss) in the first half of In the first half of 2007, Gemalto incurred combination related charges for 1.2 million. The Group may incur further combination related expenses in the coming months. It believes it is useful for investors to understand the effect of these expenses on its cost structure. Reorganization charges: charges incurred in connection with headcount reductions in the support functions, the consolidation of manufacturing and office sites (including asset write-offs and transfer cost, severance cost, lease termination and building refurbishment cost) and the rationalization and harmonization of the product and service portfolio. 10
