Net Insight AB : Net Insight acquires US software company ScheduALL
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Stockholm, Sweden - Net Insight, the leading provider of live, interactive and
on-demand media transport, today announces the acquisition of the US software
company VizuAll Inc, trading under the name of ScheduALL. The acquisition will
strengthen Net Insight's market position in media service and workflow
orchestration.
The acquisition of ScheduALL is an important strategic initiative as it allows
Net Insight to offer complete end-to-end orchestration to the market. In today's
fast-paced and schedule driven broadcast world, on-demand and end-to-end service
orchestration is becoming key to deliver efficient and cost-efficient solutions
to TV production broadcasters and their customers.
"This is a perfect match for Net Insight. We are not only executing on our
strategy, we are also taking a giant leap towards our vision of creating a
unified and global media market place for both service providers and media
companies", says Fredrik Tumegård, CEO of Net Insight. "The acquisition also
leads to a stronger customer offering which enables us to take a broader and
more strategic role towards service providers and media companies. We also want
to welcome our new colleagues and we are looking forward to grow together and
create further success."
ScheduALL, founded in 1989, is a provider of ERM (Enterprise Resources
Management) software for media, broadcast and transmission businesses. The
revenues for the financial year 2014, amounted to USD 10.6 m with a net profit
of USD 0,7 m. Approximately 60% of the revenue is recurring. In 2014,
approximately 50% of revenues were derived from North American customers.
ScheduALL has its head office in Hollywood, Florida, US and employs
approximately 75 employees.
The companies have had a strategic partnership for several years. Together they
have implemented an SDN (Software Defined Networking) solution for service
providers allowing them to offer their customers a unique, fully automated
service provisioning over global wide area networks. By this solution service
providers reduce operating cost and media companies gain from more flexible and
efficient workflows. Net Insight can now broaden the solution with new services
and applications.
"We are operating in a fast moving industry. I am convinced that we can create
added value to our customers with our combined expertise in transport and
production workflows", says Ralph Quintero, COO and owner of ScheduALL. "We will
continue to serve our customers and partners and accelerate the deployment of
advanced solutions providing automated, assured orchestration for on-demand
network services."
Net Insight acquires 100% of the shares in ScheduALL, for USD 14 m on a cash and
debt free basis. The acquisition price will be paid in cash at closing and will
be adjusted for the actual level of debt, working capital and cash. The payment
will be funded by using available cash.
Transactional costs of an estimated SEK 5 m will affect Net Insight's third and
fourth quarter results of 2015. The transaction is expected to close on October
1, from which date ScheduALL will be fully consolidated. The transaction is
expected to have a positive impact on earnings per share from January 1, 2016.
