Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 - GTO), the world leader in digital security today announces its results for the full year 2012.

Olivier Piou, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Gemalto achieved a milestone year, posting record results and delivering faster than planned on what we set out to do: over the past three years we grew our revenue and profit by close to 40% and 80% respectively, and kept a strong net cash position. In 2012, we also secured a large number of long-term contracts in the mobile payment and government sectors, which will bolster our profitable expansion into the future.

Basis of preparation of financial information

In this press release, the information for the full year of both 2012 and 2011 is presented for “ongoing operations” and under the 2012 format of segment reporting unless otherwise specified

Adjusted income statement and profit from operation (PFO) non-GAAP measure

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

To better assess its past and future performance, the Company also prepares an adjusted income statement where the key metric used to evaluate the business and take operating decisions over the period 2010 to 2013 is the profit from operations.

Profit from operations (PFO) is a non-GAAP measure defined as the IFRS operating result adjusted for the amortization and depreciation of intangibles resulting from acquisitions, for share-based compensation charges, and for restructuring and acquisition-related expenses. These items are further explained as follows:

• Amortization and depreciation of intangibles resulting from acquisitions are defined as the amortization and depreciation expenses related to the intangibles recognized as part of the allocation of the excess purchase consideration over the share of net assets acquired.
• Share-based compensation charges are defined as (i) the discount granted to employees acquiring Gemalto shares under Gemalto Employee Stock Purchase plans; and (ii) the amortization of the fair value of stock options and restricted share units granted by the Board of Directors to employees, and the related costs.
• Restructuring and acquisitions-related expenses are defined as (i) restructuring expenses which are the costs incurred in connection with a restructuring as defined in accordance with the provisions of IAS 37 (e.g. sale or termination of a business, closure of a plant,…), and consequent costs; (ii) reorganization expenses defined as the costs incurred in connection with headcount reductions, consolidation of manufacturing and offices sites, as well as the rationalization and harmonization of the product and service portfolio, and the integration of IT systems, consequent to a business combination; and (iii) transaction costs (such as fees paid as part of the acquisition process).

These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable IFRS measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.

In the adjusted income statement, Operating Expenses are defined as the sum of Research and Engineering, Sales and Marketing, General and Administrative expenses, and Other income (expense) net.

EBITDA is defined as PFO plus depreciation and amortization expenses, excluding the above amortization and depreciation of intangibles resulting from acquisitions.

The Appendix 2 bridges the adjusted income statement to the IFRS income statement.

Ongoing operations

For a better understanding of the current and future year-on-year evolution of the business, the Company provides an adjusted income statement from “ongoing operations” for both 2012 and 2011 reporting periods.

The adjusted income statement for ongoing operations excludes, as per the IFRS income statement, the contribution from discontinued operations to the income statement, and also the contribution from assets classified as held for sale and from other items not related to ongoing operations.

For the year 2012, reported figures for ongoing operations only differ from figures for all operations by the contribution from assets held for sale and the gain on sale of a subsidiary to an associate.

Compared to figures reported on the full year of 2011, figures for ongoing operations for the full year 2011 reported in this publication were re-presented to also exclude the contribution from assets classified as held for sale in 2012.

Appendix 1 bridges the adjusted income statement for ongoing operations to the adjusted income statement for all operations.

Historical exchange rates and constant currency figures

Revenue variations are at constant exchange rates, except where otherwise noted.

All other figures in this press release are at historical exchange rates, except where otherwise noted.

The Company sells its products and services in a very large number of countries and is commonly remunerated in other currencies than the Euro. Fluctuations in these other currencies exchange rates against the Euro have in particular a translation impact on the reported Euro value of the Company revenues. Comparisons at constant exchange rates aim at eliminating the effect of currencies translation movements on the analysis of the Group revenue by translating prior-year revenues at the same average exchange rate as applied in the current year.

IFRS results

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The IFRS consolidated income statement for the full year 2012 shows an operating result of €239 million for the Company, up by +30% year on year. It was €183 million for the full year 2011.

Restructuring and acquisition-related expenses were reduced to €8 million, versus €15 million for 2011. Amortization and depreciation of intangibles resulting from acquisitions also reduced to €21 million versus €25 million for 2011. Equity-based compensation charges, including a new long-term incentive plan put in place for all employees worldwide and the impact of Gemalto’s share price increase, were €39 million versus €32 million for 2011.

Net profit for the full year 2012 was €201 million, up by 25% on the net profit of €161 million for the full year 2011.

Consequently, basic earnings per share were €2.41 for the reported period growing by +25% compared to €1.93 for the full year 2011. Diluted earnings per share were €2.31 increasing by +23% in comparison to €1.88 for the full year of 2011.

Adjusted financial information for all operations

In this section, the financial information is presented for all operations. In comparison to the adjusted income statement for ongoing operations, the adjusted income statement for all operations also includes:

• for 2011, the gain recognized further to the change in shareholding structure of a joint venture held for sale and the contribution from other items not related to ongoing operations.
• for 2011 and 2012, the contribution from assets held for sale, comprising those that were contributed to the joint venture announced on April 3, 2012 and created on November 30, 2012, as well as other non-strategic assets currently being disposed.

Revenue of the Company for all its operations reached €2.25 billion. The largest part of the growth was provided by the Mobile Communication and Security segments which generated additional revenue of €204 million. Secure Transactions and Machine-to-Machine also contributed positively to revenue growth.

Across all segments, Platforms & Services activities grew by +26%, to account for €392 million² in 2012, generating 40% of the total Company growth and further increasing their share of the Company’s revenue. In the mobile payment and the government sectors substantial long-term contracts were signed and their deployments initiated.

Gross profit for the Company was up +15%, or €113 million, to €864 million. This represents a gross margin of 38.5%, higher by +1.2 percentage point on 2011. This gross profit improvement was driven by gross margin increases in the Mobile Communication and Secure Transactions segments as well as by revenue growth in Security. Globally, additional revenue came in at higher gross margin due to the greater proportion of Platforms & Services revenue and to an improved product mix, particularly in the Mobile Communication segment.

Operating expenses increased by 8% to €558 million, representing an essentially stable ratio to revenue of 25%. Expenses in operating resources grew in all segments, especially in research and development, to support project deployments and future growth opportunities. This resulted in a sequential increase in operating expenses, with €298 million for the second semester when excluding Other income.

Full year profit from all operations came in at €306 million, up a remarkable +20% on the previous year’s performance that benefited from the one-time positive contribution from a gain on the re-measurement to fair value of Gemalto’s investment in a Chinese JV. Driven by the positive developments in all main segments, the year-on-year positive variation in profit from ongoing operations reached +26%, settling at €305 million despite a €9 million decrease in profit from operations recorded in the Patents segment, related to ongoing litigation the Company initiated in the United States. Continuing deployments of fourth generation mobile networks, acceleration in the deployment of infrastructures enabling mobile payment services and increasing adoption of electronic identity programs supported the improvement. Platforms & Services activities contributed markedly to the profit increase through strong revenue growth and better absorption of operating costs, which had increased substantially in these activities since the beginning of the current long-term strategic plan in preparation for the strong involvement of Gemalto in mobile payment service deployments.

Financial income was a charge of €11 million for the year, lower by €1 million on 2011. Net interest income was a charge of €1 million and the foreign exchange transactions and hedging instruments re-evaluation at year-end generated a charge of €5 million. The remaining charges were mainly related to reassessment at fair value of financial liabilities. Share of profit of associates was lowered by €4 million to €2 million, as Gemalto consolidated an acquired company in which it previously had a share of interest.

Consequently, adjusted profit before income tax was €297 million, +19% higher than the €249 million recorded in 2011.

Income tax expense was €35 million, up from a €20 million charge in 2011, reflecting the anticipated increase in the effective tax rate related to the recognition of fewer deferred tax assets.

In 2012, the Company recorded no charge from discontinued operations, which accounted for a €1.6 million charge in 2011, in relation to the disposal of the Point-of-Sale activity at the end of 2010.

As a result, adjusted net profit of the Company for all operations was €262 million in 2012, a +15% increase when compared to €228 million in 2011, and adjusted net profit margin increased to 11.7%.

Basic adjusted earnings per share for all operations came in at €3.14, up 15%, and fully diluted adjusted earnings per share for all operations settled at €3.00, up 13%.

Statement of financial position and cash position variation schedule

For the full year 2012, operating activities generated a cash flow of €285 million, increasing by +35% over the €211 million generated in 2011. The increase in cash used by working capital requirements amounted to €18 million, in line with the larger volume of activity. Cash used in restructuring actions and for acquisition-related expenses was €8 million, stable on the previous year. Capital expenditure and acquisition of intangibles (net) amounted to €125 million compared to €93 million in 2011, of which €68 million was incurred for Property, Plant and Equipment versus €52 million in 2011 in relation to data centers set-up and capacity increase. Capital expenditures in 2012 also included essentially stable capitalized development costs of €36 million (€34 million in 2011) and an expenditure of €12 million for the acquisition of intangible assets for long-term usage (license) reported during the first semester.

Net impact from investing activities related to acquisitions was €73 million in 2012 after a non-material amount in 2011. This consideration relates to cash payments made for business combinations completed during the year.

Gemalto’s share buy-back program used €45 million in cash in 2012 for the purchase of 868,137 shares, net of the liquidity program. As at December 31, 2012, the Company owned 3,930,523 shares, i.e. 4.47%, of its own shares in treasury. The total number of Gemalto shares issued remained unchanged, at 88,015,844 shares. Net of the shares held in treasury, 84,085,321 shares were outstanding as at December 31, 2012. The average acquisition price of the shares repurchased on the market by the Company as part of its buy-back program and held in treasury as at December 31, 2012 was €38.61.

On May 31, 2012, Gemalto paid a cash dividend of €0.31 per share in respect of the fiscal year 2011. This distribution used €26 million in cash. Other financing activities generated €14 million in cash, including €33 million of proceeds received by the Company from the exercise of stock options by employees and €16 million remitted for the repayment of borrowings.

As a result of these elements, Gemalto’s cash and cash equivalents as at December 31, 2012 were €363 million. Current and non-current borrowings were reduced to €10 million from €21 million in 2011, and Gemalto’s net cash position as at December 31, 2012 was €353 million, an increase of €44 million when compared with December 31, 2011.

For the year 2012, total assets grew by +12% or €293 million to €2.71 billion as at December 31, 2012, compared to €2.42 billion as at December 31, 2011, due to a balanced growth in current and non-current assets in relation to the Company’s increased business activities and longer-term investments. Shareholders' equity increased by +12%, or €205 million, to €1.92 billion as at December 31, 2012 compared to €1.72 billion as at December 31, 2011. The increase was mainly the result of the positive net profit generation, which was partly offset by the 2011 dividend distribution.

Segment information

In this section, for a better understanding of Gemalto’s business evolution, comments and comparisons refer to ongoing operations. Revenue variations are expressed at constant currency exchange rates unless otherwise noted.

The segments financial information for 2011 is presented pro-forma on the 2012 basis of preparation.

Revenue of the Security, Secure Transactions and Machine-to-Machine segments together represented 51% of the total Company revenue, a stable proportion when compared to 2011. The share of profit from ongoing operations generated by those segments was slightly lower at 40% of the Company’s profit from ongoing operation (42% in 2011) due to the strong improvement in Mobile Communication. Patents had a negative contribution to profit from ongoing operations in 2012 due to the litigation the Company initiated in the United States.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, all four main segments posted strong year-on-year revenue growth. As in the earlier quarters of 2012, the evolution of foreign currency translation in Euro had a favorable impact on revenue growth.

For the second semester of 2012, Gemalto’s revenue growth from ongoing operations was +15% at historical rates and +10% at constant rates, another improvement on the already solid first semester performance.

In the second semester of 2012, profit from ongoing operations grew at a double-digit rate in each of the four main segments, which together recorded a +18% increase. When including the adverse impact to profit from ongoing operations of the Patents segment, the Company’s profit from ongoing operations grew by +13%. Profit from ongoing operations, although consistently hedged, also benefited from a favorable impact related to foreign currency translations in Euro during the year.

Mobile Communication

Mobile Communication recorded annual revenue of €1.09 billion, up +10% at constant rates. The double-digit increase results from strong performance in all geographical regions, in both the Embedded Software & Products and the Platforms & Services activities.

Embedded Software & Products pursued its shift to a more favorable mix of higher-end offerings and posted a +6% increase in revenue year-over-year. While the expansion of LTE coverage drove a large part of the improvement, 2012 was also marked by an increase in demand for products to support the imminent commercial launches of mobile payments services around the world.

Platforms & Services posted another excellent year with revenue up +27%, at €210 million compared to €161 million the previous year. Today, Gemalto is at a key first phase in the ramp-up of its mobile financial services business with customers actively deploying the infrastructure required to commercialize their offer. In 2012, the number of contracts covering Trusted Service Management services and Gemalto Mobile Payment Platforms continued to increase markedly and Gemalto teams dedicated significant resources to the timely and efficient delivery of integration services for the initial contracts signed in 2011 and early 2012.

The +2.5 percentage point increase in gross margin to 43% reflects the same improving trend in revenue mix observed since the second semester of 2011. It was achieved in spite of the expenses engaged to deploy mobile financial solutions. Both activities contributed to the gross margin improvement, benefiting from the deployment of new generations of products, scale effects and improved resource allocation.

Operating expenses were down slightly to 25.5% of revenue although investment expensed in the Platforms & Services activity grew steadily as a percentage of revenue as the year progressed.

Revenue growth and mix improvement drove profit margin from operations to rise considerably from 15% to 18% of segment revenue, to €193 million, illustrating the Company’s ability to generate value with its strategy of early investment in promising adjacent opportunities.

³In 2011, assets contributed to the joint venture announced on April 3, 2012 and created on November 30, 2012 as well as other non-strategic assets being disposed were included in reported Mobile Communication figures. See appendix 1 for more details and reconciliation.

Machine-to-Machine

Machine-to-Machine posted revenue of €192 million, an increase of +6%, driven by semester-on-semester improvement, and a remarkable performance as our industrial customers faced significant macroeconomic headwinds.

A number of new module design-in wins booked throughout the year reinforced Gemalto’s position as a strategic partner to industrial customers at the forefront of connected device communication. Gemalto’s expertise in a variety of connectivity technologies will continue to benefit the segment’s future prospects as customers address the challenges posed by operator roadmaps aimed at repurposing legacy network capacity. Gemalto’s portfolio, which spans the full range of technologies from 2G to LTE, provides its customers with a key asset to manage these future technology migrations.

The segment’s gross profit was also up by +6% to €64 million, though gross margin fell slightly by 1.5 percentage points when compared to the previous year.

Operating expenses rose to €50 million essentially due to the consolidation of SensorLogic and other investments made to develop the Platforms & Services offering in this segment.

As a result, profit from operations was 2% higher than in the previous year, at €14 million.

Secure Transactions

Secure Transactions posted revenue of €568 million in 2012, increasing by +3% on top of the strong gains recorded in 2011 (+17%). The main drivers of growth continue to be increasing demand from developing regions, the growing success of Gemalto’s dual-interface Optelio^TM products in markets with high EMV penetration and the rolling out of contactless payment technology. More country migrations began to benefit the segment’s financial performance towards the end of the year with revenue re-accelerating, at +7%, in the fourth quarter.

The Platforms & Services activities in this segment grew by +13%, to €115 million, driven by expansion in personalization services and the first deployments of Trusted Service Manager (TSM) infrastructures by financial institutions that aim to launch mobile payment services in the near future.

Gross profit increased by €15 million to €183 million representing a gross margin of 32%, up by 60 basis points year-on-year, as the favorable effects of technology upgrades were coupled with growing demand in developing regions.

Operating expenses increased by €10 million, or +9% year-on-year, due to investment in certain regions in preparation of future EMV migrations and to support the global mobile payment opportunity.

As a result, profit from operations increased by +8% versus previous year to €62 million.

Security

Security delivered another strong year with continued double-digit growth, up +19% to €384 million. Excellent project execution contributed significantly to the segment’s performance and new and more comprehensive contract wins reinforced the strong backlog.

Platforms & Services revenue grew even faster, posting a +59% increase, in line with Gemalto’s established strategy of addressing market demands through comprehensive solutions. It stood at €66 million in 2012.⁴

In Government Programs, 2012 further reinforced the pervasiveness of electronic identity solutions. Key projects such as the digitalization of voting procedures, the modernization of national identity programs, and deployments of electronic healthcare documents were implemented in various countries. In Identity and Access Management, growing demand for Gemalto’s Ezio^TM online banking security solutions also contributed to the segment’s revenue increase.

Gross profit increased by +21%, or €24 million, to €142 million. Operating expenses grew at half that rate of increase, i.e. +10%, or €9 million to €97 million creating further operating leverage. Investments were essentially focused on developing online banking and Protiva^TM cloud security access offers and providing additional resources to deliver on the strong growth in demand in Government Programs.

As a result, profit from operations rose to €45 million, an excellent +52% increase over the same period last year, to now represent 12% of segment revenue.

⁴ See appendix 5

Patents

Patent revenue settled at €2 million, as Gemalto and potential licensees continued to postpone the signing of new agreements due to the litigation Gemalto initiated in the United States.

This lower revenue again translated into reduced gross profit as segments’ costs are essentially fixed. Operating expenses grew due to the increase in legal fees associated with the litigation underway.

As a result, Patents recorded a loss of €9.8 million in profit from operations compared to a loss of €0.5 million the previous year.

Proposed dividend

The Board of Gemalto has decided to propose to the 2013 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders the payment of a cash dividend of €0.34 per share in 2013 in relation with the 2012 financial year, a 10% increase compared to the cash dividend of €0.31 per share paid in 2012 in relation with the 2011 financial year. If approved, the time schedule related to the dividend payment will be as follows:

Gemalto shares will trade ex-dividend as from the beginning of the trading session on May 27, 2013.

Outlook

For the full year 2013 Gemalto anticipates double digit revenue expansion at constant exchange rates. Increased investment in operations to drive business development beyond 2013 should lead to a more pronounced seasonality in profit from operations between the two semesters. Gemalto’s next long-term development plan and objectives will be announced in the second part of the year.

Reconciliation from Adjusted financial information to IFRS

The full year 2012 adjusted basic earnings per share is determined on the basis of the weighted average number of Gemalto shares outstanding during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2012, i.e. 83,310,429 shares taking into account the effect of the share buy-back program. The full year 2012 adjusted diluted earnings per share is determined by using 87,129,977 shares corresponding to the IFRS treasury stock method, i.e. on the basis of the same weighted average number of Gemalto shares outstanding and considering that all outstanding share based instruments were exercised (5,382,234 instruments) and the proceeds received from the instruments exercised (€89,036,102) were used to buy-back shares at the average share price of the full year 2012 (1,562,686 shares at €56.98).
