Their involvement in providing an essential service for our subscribers in Europe has enabled us to stay the course during this very difficult period.

** The turnover and Net Revenue of the Netgem Group consolidate those of Vitis as of 1/1/2020 ; the Q1 Net Revenue of Vitis amounted to € 3.3 million (before elimination of transactions between Vitis and Netgem).

The NETGEM Group set up its ONE NETGEM organization at the beginning of 2020, now including Vitis-Videofutur, associated with its new brand identity and its mission "Flourish in your digital life".
The new organization has faced the Covid-19 health crisis and measures to protect the health of its employees were taken (in France and the UK), with the use of teleworking.
The NETGEM Group has limited the use of partial unemployment to its field sales forces, which has resulted in a slowdown in the recruitment of new subscribers in France.
At the same time, the NETGEM group provided a quality service to its customers during this period in terms of very high speed access and entertainment services, notably with the launch of new services in France such as Ookoo (the new youth offering of France Television). Its content platform is operational to meet growing demand, in particular for non-linear content such as Replay or VOD, which have posted growth rates of 50%.
The main Operator customers continued their growth with sales records for the Elisa Viidhe Premium offering in Finland; new NetgemTV contracts were also signed with Origin and Gigaclear, Fiber operators in the United Kingdom, with a commercial launch scheduled for the 2nd quarter.
Regarding supplies, Pegatron's factories in China have returned to normal and although the delivery times have lengthened, existing BOX inventories at customers and at NETGEM cover the needs of the coming months.
The Netgem Group's Board of Directors have decided to take a number of initiatives of solidarity:
NETGEM holds the necessary assets to emerge stronger from this economic and health crisis, first because of its agile organization, its market positioning - Fiber and digital - and its good financial health.
The Annual General Meeting will be broadcast via Zoom on May 14, 2020 from 10 a.m. To attend the Webinar, click here.
