Financial results for the full year 2013 – Key figures
Commenting on these results, Rémy de Tonnac, Chief Executive Officer of INSIDE Secure, said: "2013 was a year of transformation for INSIDE Secure with the integration of ESS3 , the implementation of a broad-ranging reorganization and the strategic realignment of the Group around two business divisions, namely Mobile Security and Secure Transactions. These initiatives did rebuild our offering around a higher margin product mix and lower our cost base, paving the way for the Group to record positive operating income4 in the second half of 2013. Looking ahead to 2014. the Group will further pursue its repositioning strategy, seizing on the opportunities arising in these fastmoving sectors. The objective is notably to leverage its security IP, technology and expertise and pursue the strategy of monetizing its NFC technology and patent portfolio."
1 Normalized revenue is defined as the combined revenue of the INSIDE Secure and ESS businesses, as if the acquisition of ESS had been effective from January 1, 2012 and without taking into account the impact of the purchase price allocation. 2 Some financial measures and performance indicators are presented on an adjusted basis as defined in Appendix 2 of this press release. They should be considered as additional information, which cannot replace any other strictly accounting-based operating or financial performance measure, as presented in the consolidated financial statements in Appendix 1.

Fourth-quarter 2013 and full-year 2013 revenue
Consolidated revenue grew by 26% to \$39.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with the same period of the previous year and by 7% on a normalized basis. Revenue was down 11% sequentially, given that the third quarter of 2013 experienced the strongest level of revenue in the previous eight quarters.
INSIDE Secure recorded a very encouraging performance in the fourth quarter, with the Mobile Security division displaying strong momentum and the Secure Transactions division faring well, too. As anticipated, revenue from BlackBerry (\$6.2 million) posted a significant decline compared with the previous quarter. It should be noted that performance during the quarter was also boosted by the following significant items:
- The Group sold two NFC patents for \$4.5 million, in line with its strategy of monetizing its intellectual property rights.
- The Group benefited from \$4.1 million in early revenue from product ordered and delivered to enable customers to proactively build buffer inventories to manage the impact of one of the Group's suppliers ceasing trading.
The INSIDE Secure group's full-year 2013 consolidated revenue totaled \$154.6 million, representing an increase of 27% on the previous year (growth of 5% on a normalized basis).
High-margin revenue deriving from software and technology licenses, royalties and maintenance came to \$32.7 million in 2013 (i.e. 21% of revenue), representing a steep increase on the previous year (\$6.9 million, i.e. 6% of 2012 revenue):

Adjusted gross profit almost doubled (rising from \$31.4 million to \$60.3 million between 2012 and 2013) and the gross margin also recorded a significant progress, widening from 25.8% of 2012 revenue to 39.0% of 2013 revenue. The gross margin was boosted by the favorable shift in the product mix, especially thanks to the successful integration of ESS, efforts to cut costs and improve selling prices on the Group's other product ranges.

The Group's operating expenses increased only modestly in 2013 (up 2.7%), with the natural increase resulting from the integration of the ESS team (around 80 staff worldwide) offset partially by the initial benefits of the Group's restructuring plan carried out in 2013.
INSIDE Secure's recovery made further progress, with the Group posting \$3.4 million in adjusted operating income in the second half of 2013, compared with a loss of \$13.9 million one year earlier and a loss of \$6.3 million in the first half of 2013.
Over 2013 as a whole, the Group was able to keep its operating loss down to \$3.0 million, compared with a loss of \$30.1 million in 2012.

EBITDA
The Group's 2013 EBITDA totaled \$2.8 million, compared with a loss of \$25.1 million in 2012. During the second half of 2013, EBITDA came to \$6.4 million (7.6% of consolidated revenue), compared with a loss of \$3.5 million in the first half of 2013 (and a loss of \$11.3 million in the second half of 2012).
Net financial items
In the year to December 31, 2013, net financial income totaled \$0.8 million, compared with net financial expense of \$0.3 million in the year to December 31, 2012, with the difference deriving primarily from fluctuations in the euro/dollar exchange rate and income from the Group's cash investments.
Consolidated net income
The consolidated net loss (IFRS) for 2013 came to \$27.6 million, down from \$37.5 million in 2012.
The business reorganization plan announced on March 6, 2013 and completed during the year led to the recognition of a \$9.8 million non-recurring expense5 .
In addition, the bottom line was depressed by a sharp increase in amortization related to intangible assets (non-cash items) arising from the acquisition of ESS (\$10.9 million in 2013).
5 Corresponds essentially to the impairment of certain assets at the facilities affected by the plan (\$1.1 million), the expenses related to a workforce reduction finalized in 2013 (\$7.1 million) and a provision for restructuring costs related to the departure in January 2014 of the last employees affected by the plan (\$1.6 million).

Mobile Security
The Mobile Security division encompasses the Group's expertise in security solutions for mobile platforms. The main applications targeted are: mobile payment, content protection and enterprise security.
The division's revenue predominantly derives from sales of microcontrollers and from licenses and royalties on software and patents. Its 2013 revenue came to \$73.8 million, representing an increase of 68.4% on the previous year (and growth of 7% on a normalized basis).
Revenue from royalties reached a high level during the fourth quarter, recording growth of 18% during 2013 compared with the previous year.
The steep improvement in the adjusted gross margin between 2012 (28.9% of revenue) and 2013 (49.4%) was largely attributable to the integration of the ESS product lines and to improved gross margins on NFC semiconductors (owing to the shift in the product mix), and also to the initial revenues from the NFC patent portfolio in line with the Group's strategy of monetizing its NFC technology and related patent portfolio.
Even so, during the second half of 2013, the Group had to write down the value of its inventories of NFC microcontrollers by \$3.6 million as a direct result of the difficulties facing the Group's main customer in this segment. Based on the information available, the Group believes it has fully covered the inventory risk related to this customer.
The adjusted operating loss was four times smaller in 2013 than in 2012 (\$6.7 million in 2013 vs. \$30.9 million in 2012). The integration of ESS to a large extent and the reduction of non-ESS operating costs (down 39%) made a highly significant contribution to the increase in operating income. Moreover, the division recorded a profit (adjusted operating income) in the second half of 2013.
Secure Transactions
The Secure Transactions division encompasses the Group's expertise dedicated to address high security applications for smart cards (payment, identity, and conditional access), identification and authentication solutions, connected devices and the internet of things.
This business division builds and markets tailored solutions based on secure microcontrollers, secure firmware and related services. Its 2013 revenue came to \$80.8 million, growing 3.3% on the previous year.
The segment's adjusted gross margin advanced significantly, rising from 26.8% in 2012 to 32.6% in 2013, as a result of a richer product/customer mix and cost-cutting efforts.
Adjusted operating income almost doubled in 2013 to \$5.9 million (from \$3.1 million in 2012) or 7.3% of divisional revenue. Revenue growth and the significant increase in the gross margin more than offset the rise in R&D and in selling and marketing costs.
Full-year 2013 EBITDA totaled \$10.6 million (compared with \$6.1 million in 2012), representing 13.1% of divisional revenue.
Impact of the reorganization plan
The reorganization plan implemented during 2013 prompted the recognition of the following expenses and outlays:
- A \$9.8 million charge, including an impairment of certain assets related to the sites concerned by the plan (\$ 1.1 million), expenses related to workforce reductions completed in 2013 (\$ 7.1 million) and a provision for restructuring costs to cover the departures of employees affected by the plan (\$1.6 million).
- An outlay of around \$7.4 million, of which \$5.2 million had been paid out during the second half of 2013.
The Group consider that it has broadly achieved its objective, announced at the beginning of 2013, of around \$13 million in operating cost reductions (cutbacks in SG&A costs, refocusing of R&D and operational efficiency improvements) on an annual basis, effective from the fourth quarter of 2013.
Cash and other key figures
At December 31, 2013, the Group's available cash stood at \$40.2 million, down from \$41.8 million at June 30, 2013 and \$66.3 million at December 31, 2012.
The Group's cash remained broadly unchanged during the second half of 2013, in spite of significant but non-recurring items, thanks to the cash generated by operating activities (excluding restructuring costs) and very tight management of the working capital requirement.
The \$1.7 million in net cash used during the second half of 2013 broke down as follows:
- On-going operations generated \$10.6 million in cash,
- restructuring triggered a cash outflow of \$5.2 million,
- the working capital requirement, including the financing of research tax credit, increased by \$0.6 million, and
- purchase of property, plant & equipment and intangible assets and other investing activities rose by \$6.5 million.
Over 2013 as a whole, the following non-recurring cash-outs also had an impact on the Group's cash position:
- \$7.4 million in restructuring costs (the remainder of \$1.6 million to be paid out during the 1st quarter of 2014)
-
a \$5.2 million earn-out payment arising from the acquisition of ESS,
-
investments related to the transfer to the new head office in France, which helped to reduce the number of facilities from three to one,
- the build-up of "strategic" inventories to address the difficulties affecting one of its wafer suppliers that ceased trading and entered liquidation. At December 31, 2013, these inventories amounted to \$4.7 million and they should allow covering the needs of the Group's current customers during 2014 and 2015.
At December 31, 2013, the Group's net cash6 stood at \$39.7 million, compared with \$59.6 million at December 31, 2012 and \$40.7 million at June 30, 2013.
Purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets increased in 2013 (to \$5.7 million compared with \$4.8 million in 2012), owing in particular to investments in connection with the pooling of operations from three facilities at a single site in the Aix-en-Provence (France) region.
As anticipated, the Group arranged a \$6.8 million line of financing covering 80% of the research tax credit ("CIR") in respect of 2012 with Bpifrance during the second half of 2013, which helped to finance the working capital requirement, in line with the Group's policy of monetizing its CIR receivables. Excluding this asset-backed financing, the Group did not arrange any significant debt in 2013.
The Group has maintained a robust financial structure, with consolidated equity totaling \$95.9 million at December 31, 2013.
Outlook for 2014
Mobile Security
Over the past 15 months, the Group has strengthened its position in the embedded security market for mobile devices, extending its range of solutions to all applications from mobile payment through to content protection via data security.
The Group sees a few key applications as strong drivers for mobile security: entertainment and especially OTT (Over The Top) content delivery, enterprise driven by the BYOD move (Bring Your Own Device), and financial in the field of mobile payment and eWallets. It continues to position itself as the unique supplier with products and solutions targeting all these fast growing applications. Mobile security in general is experiencing significant growth as a result of the focus brought by high-profile cybersecurity and hackers attacks over last few quarters.
In parallel, the company is actively pursuing its strategy of monetizing its NFC technology and patent portfolio.
Given BlackBerry's weak market position and substantial supply chain inventories, no NFC component sales to this customer are anticipated for the next two quarters. As a result, the Mobile Security division is expected to post a sequential decline in its first-quarter 2014 revenues.
Secure Transactions
The Group intends to continue investing in the internet of things and anti-counterfeiting solutions (internet of secure objects).
As previously announced, the Group anticipates a further decline in its longstanding EMV activities in Europe and is looking to capitalize on the roll-out of the EMV standard in the United States, with its launch well on track for 2014. In the United States, recent security breaches that have affected on a large-scale holders of magnetic stripe cards seem to push all market
6 Net cash consists of cash at hand, cash equivalents and short-term investments, the net amount of derivatives, less finance lease liabilities, bank overdrafts and bank loans, and deferred payments due in connection with business combinations. Debts related to the financing of research tax credit (CIR) receivables are not taken into account since they are intended to be extinguished upon repayment by tax authorities of CIR claims.
participants to accelerate the adoption of EMV certified banking cards (smart cards). This enhances opportunities for INSIDE Secure and the recent certification by VISA of its dual interface EMV chip (contact and contactless) completes the certification program of its EMV product offer so that INSIDE Secure can now offer U.S. banks all versions of its chips currently being evaluated by issuers.
With the development in its refocused core businesses, the Group intends to continue to improve its overall gross margin owing to a supportive product mix and continued efforts on the cost and selling price fronts.

Appendix 2 - Non-GAAP measures - Reconciliation of IFRS results with adjusted results
The performance indicators presented in this press release that are not strictly accounting measures are defined below. These indicators are not defined under IFRS, and do not constitute accounting elements used to measure the Group's financial performance. They should be considered as additional information, which cannot replace any other strictly accounting-based operating or financial performance measure, as presented in the Group's consolidated financial statements and their related notes. The Group uses these indicators because it believes they are useful measures of its recurring operating performance and its operating cash flows. Although they are widely used by companies operating in the same industry around the world, these indicators are not necessarily directly comparable to those of other companies, which may have defined or calculated their indicators differently than the Group, even though they use similar terms.
Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit before (i) the amortization of intangible assets and masks related to business combinations, (ii) any potential goodwill impairment, (iii) share-based payment expense and (iv) nonrecurring costs associated with restructuring and business combinations carried out by the Group.
Adjusted operating income/(loss) is defined as operating income/(loss) before (i) the amortization of intangible assets and masks related to business combinations, (ii) any potential goodwill impairment, (iii) share-based payment expense and (iv) non-recurring costs associated with restructuring and business combinations carried out by the Group.
EBITDA is defined as adjusted operating income before depreciation, amortization and impairment losses not related to business combinations.
The following tables show the reconciliation between consolidated income statements and adjusted financial indicators, as defined above, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013:
