Strategic Matrix – Emerging Markets

  • Exposure to both developed and emerging markets is another aspect to our matrix

  • In particular, Hansen’s ICC product is well positioned to satisfy growth in PayTV demand

  • Demonstrated by our recent announcement of a 7 year licence agreement with DirecTV Latin America for its PanAmericana division - provides satellite PayTV to over 6 million subscribers

==> picture [720 x 136] intentionally omitted <==

  • Anticipate an increasing amount of organic growth will come from emerging markets, as the level of PayTV penetration increases from current low levels

Strategic Matrix – Benefits

The benefits of our Strategic Matrix include:

1. Best of breed solutions – reap the benefits of scale and scope, being able to leverage product solutions and subject matter experts from across our business to meet the needs of different market segments

2. Stable platform - the business is not overly exposed to a single customer, product, industry or region. While not immune from market forces that affect all businesses, the mission critical nature of our proprietary software, added to our diversification, does provide a level of relative stability

3. Employee engagement - enhanced career development opportunities for our staff, who are able to cross skill across technologies, industries and geographies
