2.2 IMPACT OF THE HEALTH CRISIS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2021
Given the international travel restrictions still in force in most countries, very few customers have started meeting their suppliers again, while major industry trade fairs have been postponed (from April to October for NAB in Las Vegas and from September to December for IBC in Amsterdam). If the situation improves on the travel front thanks to the deployment of vaccination and these major events succeed in attracting visitors, this could trigger a rebound in sales in the fourth quarter.
In addition, some semiconductor manufacturers face production difficulties that impact major server manufacturers. This leads to longer lead times and increased costs, resulting in delays in delivery and impacting gross project margins as our clients source equipment through us. We seek to build a security buffer in order to mitigate customer spillovers.
The decline in activity 2021is related to the health crisis and is therefore considered to be isolated. This situation does not call into question the medium- and long term outlook of the Group 's management.

2.3.1 REVENUE
ATEME reported revenues of € 32436 k in the first half of 2021, up 12% on the same period last year. On a comparable basis, at constant scope and exchange rates, gross revenues decreased by 4%.
| Revenue In thousands of euros |
H1 2021 | H1 2020 | Change | Comparable basis 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EMEA | 13,339 | 7,963 | 68% | 12% |
| United States/Canada | 10,465 | 12,670 | -17% | -16% |
| Latin America | 4,276 | 3,000 | 42% | -1% |
| Asia Pacific | 4,357 | 5,404 | -19% | -16% |
| TOTAL | 32,436 | 29,038 | 12% | -4% |
At the regional level:
- EMEA reported revenue growth of 68% to € 13339 k. This robust performance was achieved thanks to organic growth of 12% and the contribution of Anevia's sales. The region starts the third quarter with a strong backlog, including the major contribution of a large scale contract concluded in the first quarter with a leading content provider (Tier 1) in the UK.
- The United States/Canada region recorded revenues of € 10465 k, down 17% and 16% on an organic basis. The region is starting the third quarter with a large pipeline and should catch up with 2020 sales by the end of the third quarter.
- Latin America's revenues increased by 42% to € 4276 k, thanks to a significant contribution from Anevia's revenues. On a like for like basis, sales fell 1%. 1
- Revenue in the Asia Pacific region declined by 19% to € 4357 k, reflecting an unfavorable base effect (+34% in 2020). Anevia's contribution to this region is minor.
| Recurring monthly revenue in thousands of euros | July 2021 | July 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Recurring monthly income2 | 1,685 | 1,100 |
As of July 2021, recurring monthly revenue (MRR) stood at nearly 1.7 million euros, thanks to a high rate of renewal of current support contracts in all regions. 2
2.3.2 IMPROVEMENT OF GROSS MARGIN
Despite lower sales than last year, the gross margin increased from € 14.6 M to € 19.6 M, an increase of 35%. Gross margin thus increased from 50.1% to 60.4% in the first half.
1 At constant scope and exchange rates
2 Alternative Performance Indicator not submitted for review by ATEME's Statutory Auditors: Recurring monthly revenue is defined as the sum of (1) monthly revenue from support contracts already signed, (2) monthly revenue from multi year operating leases already signed (CAPEX) and (3) monthly revenue from operating leases.
The improvement in gross margin was due to an improvement in the overall product mix in favour of software and service.
2.3.3 RESTATED EBITDA
| Restated EBITDA (Amounts in K €) |

| (-) Payment in shares IFRS 2 | (625) | (550) |
| Restated EBITDA | (1,825) | (92) |
2.3.4 OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses were up € 5848 k (+18.7%) in the first half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2020. This increase breaks down as follows:
- A € 1625 k (-11.2%) decrease in cost of sales
- An increase of € 7472 k (+44.4%) in structure costs (R & D, Marketing and Sales, overheads, etc.).
2.3.5 NET FINANCIAL INCOME
Net financial expense amounted to € 104 k at 30 June 2021. This item mainly comprises € 360 k in foreign exchange gains and € 277 k in amortized cost related to Group borrowings.
2.3.6 CONTENT INVESTMENTS
ATEME continued to invest in its development. Over the period, operating expenses amounted to 24.3 million euros, compared to 16.8 million euros as of 30 June 2020, an increase of 44.5%, this was offset by an increase of 10 pts in gross margin. Approximately one third of the additional operating expenses represent investment in research and development, notably in the new functional capacities of the TITAN and NEA solutions.
2.3.7 MAINTAINING A SOUND FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
Shareholders' equity amounted to 33.1 million euros at 30 June 2021, compared with 35.6 million euros at 31 December 2020.
First half net income was -4.4 million euros, compared with -2.6 million euros at 30 June 2020.
As business remained brisk and the Group's financial debt increased in the first half of the year, operating cash flow declined by 1.8 million euros. Cash and cash equivalents totaled 12.3 million euros at 31 December 2020 (17.1 million euros at 31 December 2012).
Net financial debt (excluding rental debt) stood at 10.3 million euros at 30 June 2021, compared with 3.7 million euros at 31 December 2020.
2.4 EVOLUTION AND OUTLOOK
A strong third quarter is expected due to:
- A strong backlog and a strong pipeline as we enter the third quarter;
- The expected acceleration of sales of Anevia's NEA software solutions following significant efforts to promote them to existing ATEME clients.
For the fiscal year, we therefore expect to exceed our growth target of 10 to 15% on a reported basis and to generate growth of 0 to 5% on a comparable basis.
In terms of net income, the second half of the year is expected to be lower than in previous years due to the following factors:
- Continued investment in R & D, with the Group's total headcount rising from 460 to 490 employees;
- Anevia's expected negative contribution which was structurally deficit and exposed to the same seasonality as ATEME;
- Significant synergies from the Anevia acquisition are still mostly expected from 2022.
As a result, our EBITDA target of 5 million euros for 2021 seems difficult to achieve; that of 10 million euros set for 2022 is nevertheless still achievable.
With recurring monthly income close to 1.7 million euros in July 2021, we are on track to reach our target of 3 million euros in monthly recurring income by 2024.
2.5 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On 6 July 2021 ATEME announced that it has integrated Dolby Vision® HDR and Dolby Atmos® immersive audio technologies into its TITAN Live solution, making it the first solution on the market to encode and deliver both experiences natively..

With a legacy system in place, Telecom Armenia identified a need for a scalable and effective video-delivery solution as part of a planned service refresh that included a new front and back office. The operator selected ATEME as a single source supplier, enabling the organization to benefit from a range of OTT technologies, from reception to CDN.
On 5 August 2021 ATEME announced its Kyrion encoders and decoders are providing contribution links to enable Thai operator National Telecom (NT PCL) to distribute the Tokyo 2020 Olympics to all broadcasters across Thailand.

On 16 September 2021, the National Association of Broadcasters decided to cancel the NAB Show 2021, which was to be held in October in Las Vegas, United States.
'For more than a year we worked tirelessly to bring our industry together safely in Las Vegas at NAB Show. Unfortunately, the pandemic and surge of the Delta variant presented unexpected and insurmountable challenges for our global community, 'said Chris Brown, Executive Vice President of the National Association of Broadcasters
The next edition will be held on 22 and 23 April 2022 with ATEME's participation.

1.3 Impact of the COVID-19 health crisis on the interim financial statements at 30 June 2021
Given the international travel restrictions still in force in most countries, very few customers have started meeting their suppliers again, while major industry trade fairs have been postponed (from April to October for NAB in Las Vegas and from September to December for IBC in Amsterdam). If the situation improves on the travel front thanks to the deployment of vaccination and these major events succeed in attracting visitors, this could trigger a rebound in sales in the fourth quarter.
In addition, some semiconductor manufacturers face production difficulties that impact major server manufacturers. This leads to longer lead times and increased costs, resulting in delays in delivery and impacting gross project margins as our clients source equipment through us. We seek to build a security buffer in order to mitigate customer spillovers.
The decline in activity 2021is related to the health crisis and is therefore considered to be isolated. This situation does not call into question the medium- and long term outlook of the Group 's management.
1.4 Subsequent events

Note 2: Accounting policies and methods
The financial statements are presented in K € unless otherwise stated.
2.1 Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance
ATEME prepared its consolidated financial statements, as approved by the Board of Directors on 27 September 2021, in accordance with standards and interpretations published by the International Accounting Standards Boards (IASB) and adopted by the European Union as of the date the financial statements were prepared, for all periods presented.
These standards, which are available on the European Commission's website, incorporate international accounting standards (IAS and IFRS), the interpretations of the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) and the International Financial Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).
In accordance with European Regulation 1606/2002 dated 19 July 2002, ATEME's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
Condensed financial statements do not include all the information required by IFRS in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. These notes should therefore be read in conjunction with the ATEME IFRS consolidated financial statements published for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The accounting principles and methods and options adopted by the Company are described below. In some cases, IFRS allows the choice between using a benchmark or other permitted treatment.
Basis for preparation of the financial statements
The Group has prepared its financial statements on a historical cost basis, with the exception of certain assets and liabilities, in accordance with IFRS. The categories concerned are mentioned in the following notes.
Business continuity
The going concern assumption over the next 12 months from 30 June 2021 has been assumed by the Board of Directors based on available cash.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied are the same as those used to prepare the IFRS annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, with the exception of the application of the following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union and mandatorily applicable to the Company from 1 January 2021:
• Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 4, IFRS 7 and IFRS 16 - Amendment of Reference Interest Rates, published by the IASB on 27 August 2020 and mandatorily applicable from 1 January 2021.
These new standards and interpretations published by the IASB did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
2.2 Use of judgments and estimates
To prepare the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, estimates, judgments and assumptions have been made by the Company's management, which may have affected the amounts reported for assets and liabilities, contingent liabilities at the date the financial statements were prepared, and the amounts reported for income and expenses for the year.
These estimates are based on going concern assumptions and are prepared based on information available at the time of their preparation. They are measured on an ongoing basis based on past experience and on various other factors considered reasonable that form the basis of our assessments of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. Estimates may be revised if the circumstances on which they were based change or if new information becomes available. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates if different assumptions or conditions apply.
In preparing these interim consolidated financial statements, the principal judgments and assumptions made by management were the same as those applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, namely:
- Attribution of equity warrants or share subscription warrants by entrepreneurs to employees, managers and external service providers;
- Revenue recognition
- Capitalization of development costs,
- Impairment of inventories,
- Provisions for retirement benefit obligations,
- Impairment of trade receivables,
- Lease obligations,
- Allocation of the purchase price of assets and liabilities to fair value.
Those assumptions underlying the principal estimates and judgements are described in the notes to those condensed consolidated financial statements.
In preparing condensed interim financial statements, the Group uses certain specific measurement methods in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting:
• Income tax is calculated for each taxable entity by applying the estimated average annual effective rate for the current year to taxable income for the period.
2.3 Scope and methods of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities for which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, this power generally accompanying a shareholding of more than half of the voting rights. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which the Company acquires control. They are deconsolidated from the date on which control ceases.
Intragroup transactions and balances are eliminated. The financial statements of the subsidiary are prepared for the same reference period as those of the parent company, on the basis of uniform accounting policies.
| Companies | Country | Group control in% |
Interest (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATEME SA | France United |
Parent company | |
| ATEME USA Inc | States | 100 | 100 |
| ATEME Canada | Canada | 100 | 100 |
| ATEME Singapore | Singapore | 100 | 100 |
| ATEME Japan KK | Japan | 100 | 100 |
| ATEME Australia | Australia | 100 | 100 |
| ANEVIA | France | 100 | 100 |
On the date of publication of the interim consolidated financial statements, the Company holds the following companies:
Note 3: Goodwill
On 26 October 2020, the Company acquired 87% of the shares of Anevia for € 17407 k. This amount comprised a cash payment of € 9947 k and a contribution of ATEME shares through a capital increase of € 7460 k. It has been consolidated as from 31 October 2020.
A simplified Alternative public tender offer for the shares and BSA of ANEVIA that were not tendered in connection with the acquisition of control block was initiated on 8 December 2020 with a view to obtaining 100% of Anevia's shares. As a result of the acquisition of more than 90% of the shares, the squeeze out of the shares and BSA not contributed in the two previous transactions was completed on 19 January 2021.
The acquisition of non controlling interests was analyzed as a single business combination (by analogy with IFRS 10 B.97 on disposals resulting in a loss of control), the public tender offer ('alternative') and the squeeze out procedure as only economically justified by the acquisition of the controlling interest. Therefore, goodwill is calculated based on the acquisition price of 100% without generating any non controlling interests, but on recognising a liability under current liabilities for transactions unwound in January 2021.
The total transaction between 26 October 2020 and 19 January 2021 was financed by € 12561 k in cash, of which € 2614 k was paid out in January 2021, and € 8584 k in cash, with a corresponding increase in ATEME shares, of which € 1124 k in January 2021. The total cost of the acquisition was € 21145 k and the outstanding liability at 31 December 2020 was € 3738 k (recorded in current liabilities). This liability was paid out in January 2021 and is therefore no longer on the consolidated balance sheet as of 30 June 2021.
Intangible assets recognized in connection with this acquisition amount to € 9,350 k and make up the technology related to the product ranges. These ranges are amortized over 10 to 11 years. Goodwill amounted to € 13,186 k.
The combination with Anevia and its effective solutions for optimizing the delivery of flows, in particular the NEA product, is a key step in the Group 's expansion into its customer value chain and the quest for new markets.
Research & development teams and sales staff are now working on a global portfolio of common products and customers. Management monitors the performance of an integrated group so that intangible assets recognized in connection with the acquisition and goodwill have been allocated to a single cash generating unit combining ATEME and Anevia.
The budget revised at the end of December 2021 was lower than initially planned due in part to the continuing impact of the health crisis and a delay in the expected synergies of the new entity. However, this fiscal gap alone is not an indication of impairment as at 30 June 2021due to the expected catch up in the short- and medium term growth and profitability forecasts of the new package.
In accordance with IAS 36, an impairment test will be performed at 31 December 2021.
Note 4: Intangible assets
The projects whose development costs have been capitalised relate to the Kyrion, TITAN File and TITAN Live projects for the years 2010 to 2020. On the acquisition of Anevia, a gross technology value of € 9350 k was recognized in the Telco and Enterprise product lines. They are amortized over 10 to 11 years. Amortization for the first half of 2021 amounted to € 432 k.

Note 19: Revenue
19.1 Revenue and gross margin
Group sales are mainly made up of sales of products (set top boxes, set top boxes, etc.), solutions intended for the acquisition, processing and transmission of information, as well as a maintenance and service contract.
Until 31 December 2018, the Group marketed static intellectual property licenses with the transfer to the customer of the right to use the intellectual property as it exists at the time the licence is granted (static licenses),
In this particular case, revenue is recognised when the contractual benefit obligation is satisfied.
All methods of revenue recognition are described in the notes to the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Sales by geographic area in the first half of 2020 and the first half of 2021 are as follows:

| France | 2,646 | 1,145 |
| Rest of the world | 29,790 | 27,894 |
| Total revenue | 32,436 | 29,039 |
The Group 's largest customer, its five largest customers and its ten largest customers represented, respectively, 5.3%, 20% and 30.3% of its consolidated sales for the first half of 2021; 12.2%, 31.3% and 40.4% of its consolidated sales for fiscal year 2020.
The Group has a fairly balanced spread of revenue between its main customers and thus believes that it currently faces only a limited risk of dependence on its customers.

Note 23: Income tax expense
The tax rate applicable to the Group is the rate in force in France, i.e. 26.5%. This rate will continue to decrease gradually to 25% starting in 2022.
Deferred taxes are shown separately from current tax assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and are classified as non current.
Concerning deferred tax assets, in the absence of new strategic and tax plans, deferred taxes on temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards arising in the first half of 2021 were not recognized in France. As of 31 December 2019, the Group had recognised part of its tax losses for an amount representing deferred tax of € 1186 k.
The total amount of tax loss carry forwards for France (excluding losses in the first half of 2021) was € 29118 k for ATEME and € 29656 k for ANEVIA.
In the income statement, income taxes comprise the following amounts:

Note 24: Related parties
Transactions with related companies continued on the same basis as in 2020, with no significant change.
Note 25: Earnings per share
| BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE (Amounts in euros) |
30/06/2021 | 30/06/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Net income (in € thousands) | (4,380) | (2,591) |
| Weighted average number of shares outstanding | 11,127,282 | 10,483,858 |
| Number of shares | 11,127,282 | 10,483,858 |
| Basic earnings per share (€/share) | (0.39) | (0.25) |
| Weighted average number of shares assuming full dilution |
11,555,634 | 10,833,920 |
| Diluted earnings per share (€/share) | (0.39) | (0.25) |
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Instruments granting deferred rights to equity (AGM) are considered anti dilutive as they reduce losses per share. Diluted losses per share are therefore identical to basic losses per share.
Note 26: Off balance sheet commitments
The off balance sheet commitments between 31 December 20 and 30 June 2021 did not change significantly during the period, except for the commitment received relating to the State guarantee for the new PGE of € 1000 k, corresponding to 90% of its amount.
4. Limited review report of the Statutory Auditors on the half year condensed consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRS as adopted in the European Union
To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your Annual General Meetings and in accordance with Article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), we performed the following procedures:
- The limited review of the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements of ATEME for the period from January 1 to 30 June 2021;
- The verification of the information given in the half yearly activity report.
The global crisis related to the Covid-19 pandemic creates specific conditions for the preparation and limited review of the consolidated interim financial statements. This crisis and the exceptional measures taken in the context of a state of health emergency have multiple consequences for companies, particularly their business and financing, as well as increased uncertainty over their future prospects. Certain of these measures, such as travel restrictions and remote working, have also affected the internal organisation of companies and the way in which our work is carried out.
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the responsibility of your Board of Directors. Our role is to express our conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our review.
1. Conclusion on the financial statements
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A limited review consists mainly of interviewing the members of management responsible for accounting and financial aspects and implementing analytical procedures. This work is less extensive than that required for an audit carried out in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. Accordingly, assurance that the financial statements, taken as a whole, are free of material misstatement obtained through a limited review is limited assurance, lower than that obtained through an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, that the consolidated interim financial statements are prepared and fairly presented, and that they present fairly the assets and financial position at the end of the half year and the net income for the half year ended for the individuals and entities included in the consolidation.
2. Specific verification
We have also verified the information given in the half year management report on the consolidated interim financial statements examined in detail.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and its consistency with the consolidated interim financial statements.
