ZTE & Netgem relationship solidifies!

(2023-06-07)

"Jianbo Wang, CEO of ZTE France & Benelux:

👉  “We are very pleased to work with Netgem on launching a new generation of TV & Streaming services, now available across our range of leading edge Android TV STBs and dongles. 

This combination of exciting Streaming services offers great opportunities for Telecom operators to differentiate themselves in a very cost effective way with innovative TV devices, and we will be building on this first launch with Zeop to expand the new joint proposition to more Operators across Europe.”"

"...Now Netgem can offer any operator wishing to evolve their TV UX and embrace more content, with a very fast time-to-market, running on any Android TV STB. 

Netgem not only offers a future-proof solution for Operators with a strong central innovation Roadmap, but also delivers savings in terms of Capex and Opex to the Operators with the combination of its Cloud-based aggregation Platform and cost-effective Android TV devices provided in partnership with ZTE."

Netgem launches latest Multiscreen TV service for ZEOP in France, with new Netgem UI on Android TV

Netgem launches a complete revamp of the Zeop TV product in the ‘La Reunion’ territory in France @ 2023-06-07

"Zeop TV, with a reach of 100,000+ customers, is at this occasion enhanced with 12 more Replay services, added to the best quality live experience, all accessible via the same acclaimed UI for ‘the most advanced TV service’, already running on Netgem TV boxes, Apple TV, Laptop browsers and Mobile Apps." (2023)

"Plus de 300 000 foyers sont déjà raccordables à la fibre et zeop poursuit son déploiement.  (2023)

The estimated number of Internet users in La Réunion is 480,000. ... La Réunion’s Internet market is highly competitive compared to the rest of France, with a choice of six service providers for a population of only 860,000 – a density of operators unique to the island. This high market penetration doesn’t mean an end to growth, however, as the rapid deployment of fibre-optic technology shows. When it comes to fibre to the home (FTTH), La Réunion is way ahead of France with approximately 75 percent of Réunionese homes now connectable. In locations where there are two or three co-existing fibre networks, of which Zeop is one, the high level of competition has helped the fast deployment of fibre over the whole island. (2019)" 

Netgem "Diamond ​platform" Strategy - cloud with Microsoft Azure ! (Results: first half of 2017)

(H1 2017 Results - 27, July 2017)
Netgem accelerates its development in the ​cloud ​and
proposes a public share buyback offer of €25 million


Strategy and Outlook

The activity throughout the year should confirm the trends observed in the first half, with the confirmation of the strong performance in Europe, a return to normal in Asia and the first deliveries under license in Mexico, allowing the company to have a good visibility on its business to the end of the year. The
company will confirm in 2017 its return to profits initiated in 2015.

At IBC in September, the Company will present a new partnership program around Diamond​, its virtual set-top box platform. The main objective of this program is to enable the company to strengthen its indirect sales presence among operators aiming to move their historic IPTV offer to the cloud.

The transition to the Microsoft Azure cloud, underlying the Diamond ​platform, improves the mutualisation of the innovation effort between customers. As a consequence, the company is able to continue expanding the scope of services offered on its platform - TV, video, music, connected home - without a significant increase in R&D effort.


Activity, results and financial position -  first half of 2017:

The first half of 2017 was characterized by a very good performance with our European customers, all of
which are continuing to recruit new subscribers to their entertainment offerings built on Netgem’s platform.
The product offering for European customers continues to strengthen thanks to the increasing penetration
of the virtual set-top-box platform (Diamond) ​and the first positive feedback for the Soundbox​ solution.
Soundbox ​combines the Diamond ​virtual set-top-box software with an enhanced version of a soundbar
designed with specialist audio partners. This unique system combines audio and video services within a
single application and a single device for all screens and rooms in a home. Netgem's Telco customers
see it as a way to differentiate their offers, increase their income and reduce their capex since the system
no longer requires set-top boxes. The consumer gains an innovative solution offering maximum simplicity,
limiting the number of devices, applications and remote controls necessary to implement a complete
digital entertainment system.
Netgem also announced two new market gains in the Middle East European region during the past six
months, in particular the opening of the German market where Netgem intends to strengthen its position
in the months and years ahead.
This performance in Europe has offset a temporary slowdown in Asia and the impact of the transition to
software licenses in Mexico.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Netgem announces a consolidated revenue of € 32.9 million

and a gross profit of € 12.7 million. Revenue and gross profit for the period were impacted by the strategic

agreement for software license signed with ZTE and Totalplay in Mexico.

The participation in Vitis (service provider of La Fibre VideoFutur) is not included anymore in the

consolidation perimeter for 2017, contrary to 2016. If Vitis had not been consolidated in 2016, the turnover

and the gross profit for H1 2016 would have amounted to respectively € 36.7 million and € 14.0 million .

Operating income in the first half of the year reached € 3.1 million, confirming the solid return to

profitability observed in 2016.

After taking account of an income tax charge of € 0.9 million, and the share of losses under the equity

method of € 0.8 million for Vitis, the Group recorded a net profit of € 1.3 million for the period.

The sales momentum in our Vitis participation is materializing. The triple-play "La Fibre Videofutur"

service is now available on an addressable park of 318,000 fiber plugs, expected to increase by 180,000

additional plugs in the second half of the year. The capital contributions of Caisse des Dépôts and

Océinde took place as planned during the semester to finance marketing investments.

The Group's net cash position reached € 30.1 million, down € 2.7 million in the first half. The Group held

7.9% of its capital in treasury at end of June 2017.

Netgem: du PAF au PAP (Perspectives 2017, Plateforme, cloud, maison connectée, Scalable, Sure)

(6 juin 2017)
Netgem 
Du “PAF” au “PAP”, 
vers de nouveaux modèles 



Produits: 
une suite logicielle pour la maison connectée, ouverte et bout-en-bout

1. PLATEFORME CLOUD Scalable, Sure, Economique La virtualisation des services de set-top box
2. APPLICATIONS MULTI-ÉCRANS Personnelle, Simple, Fluide L’expérience TV de demain sur tous les écrans 
3. MIDDLEWARE Stable, compact, ouvert Pour connecter les équipements en préservant les données privées 

Le futur de notre industrie: 

Orange is to ‘virtualise’ its set-top box, removing the TV decoder from its dual-box Livebox device completely within the next five years… The box will disappear into the cloud. Stéphane Richard, PDG Orange, April 2017 

● Netgem a anticipé et met en oeuvre cette révolution depuis plus de 3 ans par        ses investissements sur sa plateforme dans le Cloud
  

● Elle fixe le cap stratégique et les objectifs financiers des prochaines années

Des conséquences sur le modèle d’affaires:

● Réduction de la “dépendance économique” au hardware confirmé par l’accord ZTE 

● Le chiffre d’affaires et la marge continueront à être impactés à court terme par cette évolution. La génération de cash devrait être favorablement impactée par la réduction du BFR 

● La marge générée par le business cloud croît avec la base de clients finaux (modèle SaaS) 

● Le passage de concurrent à partenaire ouvre des opportunités nouvelles de développement d’affaires pour valoriser les actifs logiciels auprès d’équipementiers


Perspectives 2017 
´
● Accompagner la croissance naturelle de nos clients et la dynamique de virtualisation 

● Poursuivre l’effort d’élargissement de nos marchés 
○ Ajouter un effort indirect grâce aux équipementiers 

● Enrichir notre plateforme de services 
○ Toujours plus de services vidéo 
○ Première étape d’élargissement avec la musique (accord stratégique Voxtok) 
○ Préparer la phase suivante vers la maison connectée
