Total comprehensive income 0.1 8.5 -99% (8.4)

* non-GAAP measure

Current operating income for 2014 amounted to € 0.8 million, strongly impacted by the stop of the deployment of the Telstra T-Box and the restructuring undertaken by the Group in reaction to this situation. Gross profit reached € 26.6 million in 2014, down 20%.

Operating expenses increased 12% to € 25.9 million. This increase is due to restructuring costs (€ 1.1 million), investments related to the delivery of the EE TV solution in the UK and a perimeter effect (the Videofutur acquisition).

Operating income for 2014 includes a non-recurring charge of € 0.7 million, mainly related to the accelerated depreciation of the rental DVD historical inventory.

The financial income is € 0.7 million (investment of the Group's cash balance) and tax charge reaches € 0.6 million.

Net income (group's share) is impacted by a non-cash loss on foreign exchange, mainly related to the conversion of the cash position held in euros by subsidiaries whose functional currency is the US dollar. Consolidated equity is symmetrically impacted by a foreign exchange gain of an equal amount. As a whole, total comprehensive income (IFRS) amounts to € 0.1 million.

The Group's cash flow related to operations before tax and changes in working capital amounted to € 1.5 million in 2014. The increase in working capital of € 5.9 million reflects the evolution of payment terms between certain telecom operators and their suppliers. After taxes, operations will have consumed € 4.9 million of cash in 2014.

After taking into account the cash flow related to investments (€ 2.3 million primarily related to the acquisition of intangible and tangible assets), the dividend distribution of € 6.0 million, cash outflows for the share buy back program (approximately € 1.4 million) and the financial income derived from the investment of available cash (€ 0.7 million), the Group's cash balance amounted to € 40.7 million, a decrease of € 14 million for the year.

Strategy and outlook

In the UK, EE TV is receiving a very positive welcome from the press and analysts alike, and sales are starting very well. Both from the functional and the user experience points of view, EE TV is the most advanced product ever designed by the Group. For the first time, the Group operates the service end-toend and in a fully "managed services" way on the operator's behalf. Both the product and its operating model are innovations that the Group intends to leverage on to offer mobile operators an efficient solution for their quadruple-play strategy.

Early 2015, the sharp rise of the US dollar against most other currencies had a significant negative impact on the Group's purchasing costs, leading to numerous corrective actions being undertaken with customers and suppliers.

In 2015, the Group should benefit from the rationalization measures it implemented in 2014, including in particular the move of its headquarters to Paris La Défense in more functional and less expensive offices. The Group believes it has the financial and human resources adapted to pursue its development and its investments in R&D.

At the General Meeting of June 11, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors will propose to maintain the annual dividend to € 0.15 per share.
