Gemalto revises 2017 financial outlook
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, March 22, 2017 at 7:00am - Based on its latest revenue forecast,
Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 - GTO) expects its revenue for first quarter to
be lower by 7% to 9% at constant exchange rates compared to the same period of
2016. This is mainly due to lower than expected Payment business revenue in the
United States.
The Gemalto Payment business revenue for the full year 2017 is estimated to be
around ?100 million lower than its initial expectation. This update primarily
reflects a double digit decline in our assumption for the payment cards total
available market in the United States due to EMV card inventory levels at our
customers in the first semester. This situation also leads to a lower
contribution from personalization services.
Looking ahead, taking into account the first quarter trend, Gemalto now expects
its 2017 profit from operations outlook to be at a similar level to 2016.
Gemalto is currently reviewing its action plan to minimize the impact.
The Company will provide further details when it publishes its first quarter
revenue on April 28, 2017.
