The growth in the number of active users was lower than expected in the first quarter of 2018 (+34,000 compared to the last quarter of 2017), causing a slowdown in the deliveries of new terminals. As a result, revenue reached € 11.0 million in the first quarter of 2018, down 25% compared to the first quarter of 2017.
The impact on net revenue, which reached € 5.3 million in the past quarter, is less significant, given the growing share of revenue related to the subscribers base (SaaS effect). It is worth noting the € 0.5 million negative impact on net revenue compared to 2017 due to the application of IFRS 15 since January 1st, 2018 (maintenance revenue billed in the first quarter are spread over the year). Without this accounting effect, the decline in net revenue would have been 9%.
On the French market, Vitis, Netgem's participation that is active as a provider of fiber-to-the-home services, continues to grow and has just announced:
The Group is preparing to launch in the UK its Soundbox product, a complete TV and OTT music offering coupled with a connected soundbar and voice control. This "service product", launched on Amazon at the next TV Connect on May 9th, will be gradually distributed in the whole British market and in other territories over the year.
The joint developments of OTT and new services in the connected home open new perspectives in the box market. The Soundbox is the first step that the company is taking to value its historic assets in this new market.
The Group continues its transition to the SaaS business model, which aligns net revenue with the growth of its active pool of terminals. The transition to the new generation of 4K terminals and the launch of product binding TV and music are the main vectors of this evolution.
The dividend of € 0.10 per share will be proposed to the general meeting of May 3rd, 2018, with payment on May 18, 2018.
The Group continued its share purchase program and held 7.1% of its own capital at the end of April 2018.
