Paris, January 25, 2022,

The total number of subscribers[1] to the Group's services reached 363,000 at the end of December 2021, up more than 30% over the year. Over the period gross profit grew by 11% to reach €17.5 million. More than 90% of gross profit is built on recurring revenues.

This performance is the result of the development of the "Content-as-a-service" offer on Netgem's main markets:

  • In the Nordic countries, Netgem supported the growth of the Premium Elisa Viihde offer, despite the tensions on the availability of components, and this momentum will continue in 2022.
  • On the British market, the NetgemTV offer had a year of commercial success, with the deployment of many Fibre operators, culminating in December 2021 with the launch of the TalkTalkTV by NetgemTV, whose commercial conquest will be effective throughout 2022.
  • On the French market, Netgem has regained a new momentum thanks to the launch of the new B2C or B2BC OTT services Viva by VIDEOFUTUR, Première MAX by VIDEOFUTUR and France Channel. New OTT services are also scheduled on the first half of 2022.
  • In parallel with its commercial effort towards operators, Netgem continues to strengthen the attractiveness of its platform, in particular by entering into new agreements with content publishers. NetgemTV now offers hundreds of channels and services, providing access to tens of thousands of programs in the UK and France. Among the most recent agreements, Netgem can cite BT Sport, BeIN SPort 4K, more than 4,000 hours of AVOD programs (content on demand supported by advertising), and new Replay services from major channels.

In 2022, Netgem anticipates that this commercial dynamic will come into full play and will result in an acceleration of the growth of its subscriber base with the objective of exceeding half a million subscribers. Despite the persistent tension on the components market, the Group believes that it will benefit, as in 2021, from a level of supply enabling it to meet its objectives.

In an inflationary context, Netgem obtained price readjustments from its customers to preserve the profitability of its contracts. Netgem also continues to tightly control its cost structure. The expected growth in the subscriber base will lead not only to revenue growth but also to gross profit growth, with a positive effect on both EBITDA and cash generation.

The group's gross cash amounted to €6.4 million at the end of December 2021.

For Mathias Hautefort, CEO of NETGEM, “Thanks to our existing portfolio of customer contracts, the year 2022 promises to bring growth, profitability and balance between our different markets. The outsourcing by telecom operators of all or part of their TV and video services is a strong and long-lasting trend. It improves both the financial performance of operators and the satisfaction of their subscribers. We are showing everyday that Netgem is a credible partner in this market. We have to accelerate commercially, endogenously and exogenously if opportunities arise.”
