2019: Netgem continue de payer ses dividendes de 0,1 € par action (résultats 2018 positifs et trésorerie solide)

(22 mars 2019)


NETGEM:  Résultats annuels 2018

"Les nouveaux moteurs de croissance
• Plan de croissance dans les services pour le Très-Haut Débit et la Fibre
• Résultats 2018
• Dividendes maintenus à 10 centimes par action, option de paiement en
actions choisie par les actionnaires fondateurs

Résultats 2018 positifs et trésorerie solide:


Le chiffre d'affaires consolidé de 2018 s'est élevé à € 41,8 millions et le revenu net à €19,6 millions, en raison du ralentissement des investissements des opérateurs dans les Box TV. Le ralentissement plus modéré du revenu net provient de l'effet contributif des activités de services.

Le chiffre d’affaires du périmètre non-consolidé (Vitis - Videofutur), essentiellement constitué de ventes de services, est en hausse de 86% à € 10,4 millions.
Le résultat opérationnel atteint € 4,4 millions en 2018. Les charges d’exploitation qui incluent des coûts de restructuration de € 0.7 million baissent cependant de 11% du fait de la réduction des dépenses à l’international et du recentrage de la R&D.

Dans le périmètre non consolidé, Vitis reste en perte à hauteur de € 5,5 millions, en raison des coûts liés à l’acquisition d’un parc d’abonnés en propre. En 2018, la Caisse des Dépôts et Réunicable ont apporté € 4 millions en numéraire à Vitis, dont la trésorerie s’élevait à € 5,3 millions fin 2018.

Sous réserve de l’approbation de la prochaine assemblée générale des actionnaires, Netgem apportera son activité plateforme en France et en Allemagne à Vitis, valorisée € 5,3 millions, ce qui permettra au Groupe de retrouver sa position actionnariale à environ 53% du capital (fully diluted).

Après prise en compte de la quote part des résultats de Vitis, d’une charge financière de € 0,9 million (effets de change) et d’une charge d’impôt de € 0,6 million, Le Groupe enregistre un bénéfice net de € 0,2 million en 2018 (part du groupe).

La trésorerie de Netgem à la fin de l’année 2018 s’élevait à € 11,0 millions, soit une augmentation de € 0,7 million par rapport à 2017. Les activités du groupe ont généré un montant de trésorerie après impôts de € 1,4 millions en 2018. Les flux de trésorerie liés aux investissements incluent la mise en œuvre de solutions de financement et leurs remboursements. 

Les flux de trésorerie liés aux financements comprennent € -2,0 millions de rachat d'actions, € - 2,8 millions de dividendes versés en 2018 et € +1,2 million de mise en place et remboursement d'affacturage des financements mentionnés ci-dessus.

"BT vs EE broadband - which is best?"

TO REMENBER: 


"You can now (17 AUGUST 2017), control EE TV set-top boxes with Amazon Alexa voice commands !!!"






(Netgem & EE TV continuous in a solid partnership!)


"Whether it's for phones or Bluetooth speakers, Amazon's march towards squeezing its Alexa voice assistant into every conceivable connected gadget continues apace. The latest device to join its ranks is EE TV, the set-top box from the mobile network giant.
From today, owners of both the EE TV box and a compatible Alexa device, such as the Echo or Echo Dot, will be able to use voice commands sent from the connected speakers to control certain aspects of the TV interface...."

"The move makes the BT-owned outfit the first UK service provider to provide an Amazon Alexa skillset on its set-top boxes."

Credits for Netgem, on EE TV Amazon Alexa voice control ! (vs Sky Q)

August 17, 2017

Credit should go to its partner Netgem for further differentiating EE TV over rivals. This latest move clearly underlines the importance of software in enhancing a TV service. Undoubtedly EE TV is a great option for consumers who are looking for a good set-top-box with access to a wide range of programming including free-to-air, on demand and a la carte purchases to premium content.”


The move makes the BT-owned outfit the first UK service provider to provide an Amazon Alexa skillset on its set-top boxes.

YouView, the broadcaster-supported platform that is used by BT and TalkTalk for their TV services, also announced in June that it was piloting Alexa voice control for its connected set-top boxes.
“EE continues to push the boundaries with its TV service. Given the fragmented nature of TV services today, we believe that voice will play a pivotal role in finding the programmes consumers want to watch. More importantly the support for Amazon Alexa goes one step further than Sky Q in supporting additional voice features,” said Paolo Pescatore, vice-president, multiplay and media, CCS Insight, commenting on the launch.
