Net Insight AB [publ] Corporate Reg. No 556533-4397

First Quarter 2011

  • Operating earnings of SEK 2.9 million (6.2), corresponding to an operating margin of 4.3% (10.3).
  • Earnings per share of SEK 0.01 (0.16), decrease is related to a positive one time effect in Q1 '10.
  • Total cash flow of SEK -19.5 million (53.1), the cash flow in Q1 2010 included a SEK 60 million positive one time effect.

Net Insight AB discloses the information provided herein pursuant to the Securities Market Act and/ or the Financial Instruments Trading Act. The information was submitted for publication on May 6, 2011 at 08.30 am CET.

CONTINUED GROWTH DESPITE NEGATIVE CURRENCY EFFECTS

The first quarter of 2011 showed continued revenue growth. Revenues increased by 10 % which, in comparable currencies, would be an increase of 24 %. The gross margin for the quarter is lower for the same reasons as explained earlier, foreign exchange effects and continued deliveries under larger projects. The net cash position at the end of the quarter remains strong at 216 MSEK (205 MSEK).

The business during the first quarter can be characterized by a good flow of repeat business including continued deliveries under contracts won in 2010. The revenue split between our main business areas remained approximately the same, Broadcast and Media Networks 63 % (69 %), DDT 34 % (30 %) and IPTV Cable TV 3 % (1 %). We continue to win DDT business and early in the quarter we were selected for a new project in Morocco, in partnership with Ericsson. Also the early wins for DDT in Argentina have been followed up with recently announced expansions. At the same time the Broadcast and Media Network business remains substantial and important for us.

In terms of visibility we have increased our involvement significantly in key trade shows around the world and we have participated as a technology partner in several big sporting events. Our Nimbra solution was for instance used as the best worlds alpine skiers gathered in Garmich-Partenkirchen, for the 2011 FIS alpine world ski championships in February. Likewise, the EBU and other important customers used our equipment to transport signals from the cross-country world championships held in Oslo.

Our network of partners representing Net Insight on the front line in indirect sales has now reached a number of more than 40 partners covering 65 countries. During the first quarter our indirect sales amounted to 62 % of our total revenues. While this figure is encouraging it should only be seen as a sign that our partnership strategy is working, however the percentage of indirect sales will of course fluctuate over time.

Stockholm, May 6, 2011 Fredrik Trägårdh CEO

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES DURING THE FIRST QUARTER

Net Insight continued to receive orders for Digital Terrestrial TV networks (DTT) during the first quarter. The national public broadcaster in Morocco, Société Nationale de Radiodiffusion et de Télévision (SNRT) chose Net Insight for expanding its existing Digital Terrestrial TV network. Net Insight won this order in partnership with Ericsson Morocco. This order implies that the market coverage of Net Insight is increasing with a new market in Northern Africa. It also shows that we successfully work together with leading Telecom Equipment providers to gain important business in the DTT-area. An expansion order for the DTT-network build-out in Argentina was also received. So far Net Insight has secured three orders for the DTT-network in Argentina during 2010-2011. Thanks to the successful DTT implementation of the Nimbra platform in Argentina we have gained related contribution business during the first quarter.

In the Broadcast and Media (BMN) area Net Insight received an expansion order from the German company, VCC Agency for postproduction. The company is expanding its existing Nimbra network and has achieved a 20 percent cost-saving by using the Nimbra transport solution to support new ways of working. Using real-time media networks reduces costs and increases efficiency in editing and production and we clearly see that technology drives the adaption of remote workflow solutions for remote production and live events. During the first quarter Net Insight supported several of our customers (ZDF, SRG SSR and EBU) in covering the 2011 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, running February 8-20.

PARTNERSHIP

Net Insight signed up a new partner in the Middle East, Salam Media Cast, based in Qatar. In order to support the growing number of partners Net Insight launched a new version of its Partner Program including marketing support material. A partner web was launched to improve the communications between partners and Net Insight. Net Insight's partner network has more than 40 business partners at the end of the quarter.

MARKETING ACTIVITIES

Net Insight ambition is to increase the awareness about the company and its solutions. Exhibitions are one of the main communication channels used to increase the awareness of Net Insight. During the first quarter we participated in eight different exhibitions in Ukraine, US, United Arab Emirates, UK, France, Malaysia, China and India. Three of these exhibitions were done together with our partners as co-marketing activities. Net Insight's major event for the first quarter was CABSAT MENA in Dubai which is the main regional event in the Middle East area for the media and broadcast industry.

For some time Net Insight has increased its efforts in PR activities especially in Europe. We started out with a target media tour in London in January in order to reach out to the broadcast and media trade press in Europe. During the first quarter we have seen increased media coverage in trade magazine in Europe and US.

NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

During the quarter, Net Insight launched Nimbra 380 which is developed to meet the increased IP requirements in media and DTT networks where demands for IP/Ethernet services need to be combined with 100% Quality of Service (QoS).

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

During April Net Insight received a significant order from The Switch™ for a nationwide Uncompressed HD video network across North America. The order value exceeded 10 MSEK.

SALES AND EARNINGS

Net Sales for the first quarter amounted to SEK 66.6 million (60.5), which represents a growth of 10.1% from the same period 2010. The Swedish Krona shows minor differences in the exchange rate against the EURO and has strengthens against the USD. The accounts receivables stock in foreign currencies had a negative revaluation effect of SEK 1.4 million.

In comparable currencies the growth amounts to 24%.

The increase in sales comes from EMEA and is mainly following the roll-out of large projects in the segments Broadcast & Media and DTT & Mobile TV. EMEA grew by SEK 5.8 million to SEK 50.3 million (44.5). Americas showed an increase in sales of SEK 2.9 million to SEK 13.2 million (10.3) and APAC a decline of SEK 2.6 million to 3.1 (5.7).

Sales in the Broadcast & Media business area made down 63% (69) of total sales and DTT & Mobile TV accounted for 34% (30). IPTV/CATV accounted for 3% (1) of the turnover.

Hardware revenue increased SEK 7.3 million to SEK 52.3 million (45.0). Sales of software licenses are slightly down by SEK 0.3 million to 5.6 (5.9) whereas support and service revenue is slightly down at SEK 9.7 million (9.9) over the year. The above figures are exclusive of other revenues of SEK -1.0 million (-0.3) which mainly consists of revaluation of the accounts receivables stock in foreign currencies.

As shown in the condensed income statement on page 10, the Gross margin is 57.8% (65.7). This is a result of larger share of turn-key type projects and an appreciating Swedish Kronan.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter amounted to SEK 35.6 million (33.5). Sales and marketing expenses was SEK 22.4 (22.7) million. Administrative expenses have increased with SEK 2.8 million mainly as more consultants have been engaged in the period. R&D expenses show a slightly decrease of SEK 0.4 million compared to last year.

Operating earnings amounted to SEK 2.9 million (6.2), which correspond to an operating margin of 4.3% (10.3)

The financial net amounted to SEK 0.9 million (-0.2). The improvement is due to increased interest rates on short term investments and higher average of cash and bank balances.

Earnings before tax amounted to SEK 3.8 million (6.0), which corresponds to a profit margin of 5.7% (9.9).

Net income amounted to SEK 4.7 million (64.0) resulting in a Net Profit margin of 7.1% (105.8). The decrease is a result of the previously announced transaction in Q1 2010 whereby Net Insights intellectual property rights where moved to a new wholly owned limited liability company that gave a positive tax and cash effect of approximately SEK 60 million, while utilizing SEK 728 million of tax losses carried forward.

CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Cash flow from ongoing operations in the first quarter amounted to SEK -3.4 million (6.2). The decrease is primarily related to slower payments of customer receivables and a larger inventory during the quarter.

Liquid funds at the end of the period totaled SEK 216.3 million (205.1).

Total shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 445.0 million (400.1) with a resulting equity ratio of 83.1% (81.4).

At the end of the period, net book value of capitalized development expenditures amounted to SEK 131.1 million (102.7).

EMPLOYEES

At the end of the period Net Insight had 137 (124) employees. The parent company Net Insight AB had 128 (118) employees, Net Insight Intellectual Property AB 5 (0) and the US subsidiary Net Insight Inc. had 4 (6) employees.

PARENT COMPANY

The parent company's net sales during the first quarter were SEK 88.3 million (66.2). Net income amounted to SEK 8.3 million (187.2). The lower result for the quarter compared to last year is an effect of the previously announced transaction whereby Net Insights intellectual property rights where moved to a new wholly owned limited liability company that gave a positive tax effect.

Remaining tax losses carried forward amount to SEK 163 million.
