Netgem renfoce avec Nordnet partenariat de long terme

(20 mars 2023)

Netgem finalise la cession de son activité Fibre France à Nordnet

Mathias HAUTEFORT, Directeur Général de Netgem, déclare : « Nous sommes heureux d’avoir finalisé cette opération, qui s'inscrit directement dans l’exécution de notre stratégie de recentrage sur notre cœur de métier, avec la société Nordnet, avec qui nous renforçons ainsi notre partenariat de long terme. Je suis convaincu que Nordnet constitue une excellente solution pour nos abonnés, que je remercie vivement de la confiance qu’ils nous ont témoignée. » 

A la suite de la conclusion de l'accord de cession annoncée le 10 février dernier, Netgem et Nordnet confirment la finalisation de cette cession avec effet au 1er avril 2023.

Le transfert à Nordnet des 10.000 abonnés à l'offre Fibre Videofutur se fera dans le respect des conditions techniques et contractuelles dont ceux-ci bénéficiaient jusqu'alors, sans impact notamment sur le prix de l'abonnement et les services associés, en particulier du service de télévision opéré par Netgem. 

Les abonnés pourront également se voir proposer dans un second temps des services complémentaires grâce à l'expertise reconnue en la matière de Nordnet, fournisseur d'accès depuis plus de 25 ans et filiale du groupe Orange.

Netgem: 60,000 new subscribers in the 3rd quarter

 (October 20, 2022)


Target confirmed of 

=> half a million subscribers by the end of 2022

Netgem confirms its targets:

✓ The number of subscribers to the group's services increased by 60,000 new  subscribers in the 3rd quarter to reach 470,000 (that includes any end-user subscriber of the services of the Netgem platform, subject to invoicing, either indirectly (B2B and B2B2C modes) which is the main axis of development of the group, or directly (B2C mode).

 ✓ The period was marked by the taking effect of the “content-as-a-service” ZeopTV+ contract in Réunion Island  - management of the content and subscribers of Zeop started in October 1, 2022

✓  In the United Kingdom, the deployment of TalkTalk TV 4K powered by Netgem continues, with a continuous improvement of the content line-up. The group launched 90 new FAST Channels. 

✓ Three new ISPs launched over the second half of the year. 

✓ In the Nordic region, deliveries to the Finnish operator Elisa will remain strong and, given the success of the Premium Elisa Viidhe offer, Netgem expects this growth to continue in 2023. 

✓ The growth of the subscriber base will have a positive impact on the group's financial aggregates with a continued improvement of results expected in the second half of the year. 

 

Official subscriber base evolution:

2023, fin de decembre: 508 k (+38k => +2.7%/month)

2022, fin de septembre: 470 k (+59k => +4.8%/month)

H1 2022 results: All indicators are positive!

 July 29th 2022

Highlights of the half-year: 

● 411,000 subscribers at the end of June 2022 - a result of the rollout of NetgemTV offers to telecom operator customers and OTT service providers. 

● In the United Kingdom, the commercial launch of the TalkTalk TV+ offer powered by NetgemTV, with the first integration of the TikTok social network. 

● In France, the launch of the Gaumont CLASSIQUE service and signature of a partnership agreement with the Oceind Group to exploit the entire “TV and content” component of its ZeopTV offer powered by Netgem. 

"From the 4th quarter of 2022, the Netgem group will operate under the brand ZeopTV powered by Netgem the television offers intended for Zeop's 100,000 Very High Speed subscribers. This agreement initially covers Reunion Island and is intended to extend to other territories in the Indian Ocean. Due to the synergies, this agreement will contribute to the Group as soon as 2023. 

Monsieur Hautefort durant le webinaire SFAF, un contrat "fully managed" génère environ €8 par utilisateur. Cela doit être le cas pour Zeop. Du coup on parle d'un potentiel de chiffre d'affaires récurrent  d'environ 10 millions €." 

● This level of activity is reflected in the growth in revenue, gross margin and EBITDA compared to 2021. 

● The acceleration expected in the second half of the year allows us to confirm the annual objectives announced, reaching half a million subscribers by the end of 2022.

Netgem powers next-generation multi-screen television service, ZEOPTV

2022: 

ZEOP from Réunion Island, a French department in the Indian Ocean
goes to next-generation multi-screen television service, ZEOP TV,
again with NETGEM TV support.

Zeop TV, at Reunion has everything to be an excellent global showcase of Netgem's multiservices! That's because a consortium integrating Zeop (groupe Océinde) plans to transform the French overseas territory Reunion Island into one of the world's digital hubs!

"Oceinde's subsidiary Zeop invested €50 million ($57 million) in the new cable called Metiss, together with its business partners Canal+ and SFR from France, Mauritius-based CEB Fibernet and Emtel as well as Madgascar's Telma.

The consortium intends to spend another €120 million on a second cable linking Reunion Island to India.

What's more, several huge data centers are to be built on the island. "We are hoping to convince companies to invest up to €1 billion and are already in talks with several interested investors," Goulamaly explained."

NETGEM Q3 2020 activity: growth continues!

 (20/10/2020)

NETGEM 3rd quarter 2020 activity:

Net income growth continues!s

NETGEM's activity in the third quarter of 2020 was marked by a continuation of

the commercial dynamics of the “as a service” model of its activity with

operators (in B2B and B2B2C) or with its direct customers (B2C), who represent

this quarter more than 90% of the activity. The highlights are:

• A growth in net income that is confirmed every quarter and more marked from one year to the next due to the integration of Vitis,
• The continued growth of the subscriber base in Finland with Elisa, by Great Britain with the various Very Broadband operators and in France including the integration of Comcable.
• The launch in early October of the new range of MESH products in France with VIDEOFUTUR customers.

In the 3rd quarter of 2020, despite an 11% drop in turnover stemming from the foreseeable decrease in Box's historical sales activities, the net income is up 2% from the previous quarter. This reflects the now predominant share of management services activities customer base in the Group's business. Consolidation of French activities (Vitis) contributes € 4.0m out of the total € 6.4m of Net Income, and thus enables to show 100% growth.

The group's gross cash flow amounted to € 8.0 million at the end of September. A line of credit of € 1.6 million was collected in early October in anticipation of future refunds under the research tax credit.

Netgem H1 2020 results

(31/07/2020)

NETGEM H1 2020 results

The accounts for H1 2020, approved by the Board of Directors on July 30, 2020 and presented below, are the first to reflect the new consolidated scope including the control of Vitis-Videofutur, and translating in the figures the withdrawal from the equipment supplier business and the strategic reorientation towards the services started several years ago. 

This semester was marked by the following events: 

● Major change in scope with strategic refocusing and synergies. 

● Good resilience to the Covid crisis. 

● Acquisition finalized in early July of a very high-speed subscriber base.

Resilience of the business:

• In the first half of 2020, Netgem demonstrated the resilience of its market and its business model. Thus, its turnover and net income remained at levels very close to those of the 1st quarter, despite the consequences of the Covid-19 crisis. More generally, the epidemic has not had a significant impact on strategic orientations, performance, cash flows and balance sheet aggregates.
• On the French market, the slowdown in customer acquisitions in the 2nd quarter was partially offset by the decrease in churn rate on the existing subscriber base and by a significant consumption of video on demand (+50%).
• In Great Britain, NetgemTV was launched commercially with fiber operators Pure telecom, Origin and Gigaclear.
• Finland was little impacted by the crisis and sales of the service Elisa Viidhe Premium remained strong on that market.

Outlook for the second half of 2020: 

• In France, Netgem anticipates that the deteriorating economic context could lead to pressure on the acquisition of new subscribers. Conversely, the strong trends in teleworking reinforce the importance of fiber in lower density territories, the Group's natural market in France. 
• The contribution of new operator partners in the United Kingdom, continued growth in Finland and the impact of the acquisition of Comcable's business should reduce the consequences of this uncertainty, and should make it possible to post sequential growth on the second semester. In addition, the operational synergies made possible by the change in consolidation scope should demonstrate their first effects by a reduction in the structure of fixed costs from the second half of this year. 
• NETGEM thus has the assets to emerge stronger from this economic and health crisis, primarily because of its agile organization, its new market positioning - Fiber and digital - and its good financial health.
