(**) As the Platform activity was carried over to Vitis in 2019, this
information is provided for the purpose of comparing Net Revenues for different
periods of time with the same scope of activity.

Over the quarter, Netgem's revenue decreases by 16% (-EUR 1.1m) and Net Revenue
by 5% (-EUR 0.2 million) due to lower deliveries of hardware products and the
stability of services revenues.

The Net Revenue for Vitis (not consolidated) increases it by 11% (+EUR 0.4
million) due to the net increase in the number of subscribers.

The Group's cash position was EUR 7.8 million as at the end of September 2019.

The Netgem Group confirms its focus on managed services, with its multi-screen
platform combined with high-end connected devices.
The myVIDEOFUTUR cloud offer, which allows the provision of a multi-screen
service with or without a Box, is now being marketed by Vitis in
Fibre-connected areas in France. The expansion of its distribution via partner
operators will start in 2020.

In addition, the launch of the connected soundbar co-developed in partnership
with Sharp and including Amazon Alexa has confirmed the Group's high-end
positioning, which aims to enable Ultra-fast broadband operators to grow their
revenue per user and improve customer retention.
