STEADY FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
FOURTH QUARTER
The fourth quarter was our second best quarter from a revenue perspective so far
but 8.9 % lower than the same quarter in the previous year Revenues reached
80.3 MSEK and in comparison, the currency effects were insignificant. The gross
margin strengthened to 62 % (59). The operating margin increased to 20 % (17.9)
as the operating earnings reached 16.1 MSEK (15.7). In summary, the financial
result in the fourth quarter was slightly ahead of the same period previous
year. There were several factors affecting the fourth quarter revenues. On the
one hand there was a significant decline in the business in Western Europe and
lower volumes than expected in Digital Terrestrial Television networks (DTT).
The decline is mainly due to timing factors rather than a lasting decline. On
the other hand revenues were up in the Americas and APAC. The business area
Broadcast and Media Network (BMN) continues to grow and represented 94 % of our
business in Q4 (82). It can be noted that there is a significant number of DTT
projects ahead.
FULL YEAR 2011
Revenues 2011 reached 294.5 MSEK (287.7), a growth of 2.4 % compared to previous
year. In comparable currencies the growth amounted to 7.8 %. The gross margin
remained high at 61.9 % (62.7) and the operating earnings were 42.8 MSEK (43.1)
producing an operating margin of 14.5 % (15).
Despite lower growth than anticipated, we have expanded geographically, won new
customers and broadened our product portfolio. We now count 150 operators in
over 50 countries. An important part of our growth strategy is our indirect
sales which reached 56% (38) of our total revenues. We also continued to win
business with telecom operators as well as cable TV operators that are very key
customer groups for Net Insight going forward.
The media and broadcast market is undergoing major changes driven by the
digitization of media and the migration to IP. This changes the way we produce,
distribute and consume video. The production of video is changing towards IT
based workflows and is real-time critical requiring media networks with high
quality and low delay. The consumption of video over broadband (over-the-top)
has massively increased in the last year and gradually consumers will demand
live and higher quality content delivered over-the-top. We have during the year
clarified our unique value proposition in an industry migrating to IP,
strengthening Net Insight's position as a future player in video transport. For
certain we will leverage these trends and the changes in the market place based
on our position as a recognized provider ensuring high quality real-time
sensitive video transport.
