Paris, January 30, 2020 - ATEME (ISIN: FR0011992700), the emerging leader in video delivery infrastructure, posted revenues of €21 million for the Fourth Quarter of 2019, up 16% on the same period in 2018.

Total revenues for the year to December 31, 2019 stood at €66.4 million, up 18% versus 2018 and by 14% at constant exchange rates. While slightly below the group's target of 20% growth, the €10m increase in value terms represented a clear acceleration compared to the €8m rise in the previous year, and marked ATEME's eighth consecutive year of topline growth.


Revenue breakdown by region

Revenues in €000s 2018 2019 Change
EMEA 20,621 24,535 +19%
USA / Canada 18,524 24,594 +33%
Asia Pacific 10,743 8,240 -23%
Latin America 6,602 9,024 +37%
TOTAL 56,489 66,391 +18%
  • Revenues in the EMEA region stood at €24.5 million, up 19%.
  • The USA/Canada delivered further healthy growth of 33% with revenues of €24.6 million. At constant currency, revenues were up 26%.
  • Asia-Pacific declined 23% to €8.2 million after an exceptional rise of 70% in 2018. At constant currency, revenues were down 26%.
  • Latin America overtook Asia-Pacific to become the group's third region thanks to a 37% increase in revenues to €9.0 million. At constant currency, revenues were up 30%.

As expected, the Second Half of the year saw a more favorable product mix than the First with a rebound in TITAN software sales, underpinning a recovery in the gross margin, which is expected to grow in the region of 30%.



Significant increase in recurring revenue streams

As communicated during the course of 2019, a key tenet of ATEME's strategy has been to enhance the predictability of revenue streams notably by offering multi-year engagement incentives to key customers in recent years. In 2019 this strategy was taken to the next level, with a focus on the promotion of other types of recurring revenue sources, such as annual support contracts and OPEX license lease contracts for emerging players. These measures have proven highly effective, generating multiple layers of monthly recurring revenues that will secure growth over the long term, with some contracts of up to five years, while reducing lumpiness.

In consequence ATEME is beginning 2020 with over €880,000 in monthly recurring revenue[1], and almost the same amount in gross margin, since such revenues essentially comprise software, either in CAPEX-deferred revenues or OPEX models, and support fees. This compares with €570,000 in January 2019, an increase of over 55%.

Michel Artières, Chairman and CEO of ATEME, commented: “Ateme delivered a robust revenue performance in 2019 with acceleration in value terms versus the previous year. Our gross margin growth is expected to land in the region of 30%, reflecting software market share gains and the enhanced product mix. The resulting strong leverage effect is expected to lead profitability to return to the record level of 2017.

At the same time, we have significantly increased topline visibility since a large proportion of the revenues are spread over multi-year terms: for the first time, some €8.4 million of the software license contracts signed in 2019 will be recognized over the next four years. Going into 2020 with 55% more monthly recurring revenues than a year ago gives us a high degree of confidence and visibility for the year ahead.”
