In Q4 2018, the company generated \$10.5 million in revenue. As anticipated, revenue was lower in Q4 2018 as compared to Q4 2017 due to a particular strong base effect driven by exceptionally high royalties revenue in Q4 2017 from a historical U.S. customer in the defense industry.

Licence revenue was \$2.7 million in Q4 2018, up 41% vs. Q4 2017 and royalties revenue was \$6.5 million.

In Q4 2018, the company continued to leverage its customer base to expand its footprint while attracting new customers, thanks to its portfolio of products to support customers' demanding security challenges and help them accelerate time-to-market.

In datacenters, mobile networking infrastructure and IoT, the company continued to leverage its differentiated value proposition with embedded security into general purposes chips to close new design wins, with applications such as smart metering, sensors and printers.

In the entertainment space, the company continued to innovate with the launch of the first software-only High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) 2.35 solution offering a simpler, modernized

5 The Inside Secure HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) toolkit software solution provides all the required features (cadvanced cryptographic functions, incorporating authentication, digital signature algorithms, key storage and management) for a complete content protection solution and includes all control and management software for the HDCP2.3 specification.

approach to protecting content. The company has already closed a first deal to sell this new high-end solution to a major car manufacturer for an infotainment application.

Inside Secure / FY 2018 Revenue

Consolidated revenue

In 2018, consolidated revenue was \$42.1 million, up 8% compared to 2017, more than offsetting the anticipated decline from a historical U.S. customer in the defense industry. As a reminder, contribution from this customer was nil in the second half of 2018 and the company does not expect any more royalty revenue from this customer going forward.

Excluding this customer, year-on-year revenue gowth was up 41% mainly driven by strong business traction of the core business over the period and marginally by a new licence signed for its NFC patent licensing program.

Core business revenue

Core security software and technology licensing business revenue was \$40.3 million in 2018, up 4% year-on-year. Excluding the contribution of the historical U.S. customer, core business revenue was up 35% based on strong business traction and new deliveries to significant existing customers in Silicon IP and secure communications core technology, driving accelerated revenue recognition under IFRS 15.

In 2018, the company continued to renew contracts and upsell its customer base with new products and solutions while successfully diversifing its customer base: top10 customers accounted for 43% of core business revenue in 2018, against 58% in 2017.

During the period, license revenue grew significantly to \$13.5 million, up 39% vs. 2017, leveraging strong sales activity with both existing and new customers across all its product lines.

In 2018, the company signed significant contracts to embed security functions into general purposes chips, notably in IoT, cloud connectivity and Automotive (through it Silicon IP solutions) while continuing to gain traction in implementing secure communications and application protection in markets such as data center and Financials (mobile payment applications). The company also signed new contracts to help telcos and video service operators to protect video content over-the-top.

In 2018, revenue from royalties was \$21.2 million and revenue from maintenance and other agreements was \$5.6 million, in line with the company's business perimeter.

NFC patent revenue

In 2018, the Company recorded \$1.8 million of revenue from its NFC patent licensing program thanks to a new license with a major Chinese handset and telecom equipment company signed in Q2 by France Brevets which manages the program (vs. no revenue in 2017).

Core business adjusted gross profit at >95%

Adjusted gross profit of the core business grew from \$37.6 million in 2017 to \$38.9 million in 2018, in line with revenue growth with a gross margin of the core business stable at 96.7% of revenue.

Consolidated gross profit increased from \$35.6 million in 2017 to \$39.6 million in 2018. Gross margin increased from 91.6% to 94.2% of revenue due to the ending in 2017 of the amortization of intangible assets recognized in the context of the acquisition of the ESS business in 2012 (amortization expense of \$1.5 million in 2017).

Disciplined management of operating expenses

Operating expenses increased from \$29.4 million in 2017 to \$34.1 million in 2018 as the company accelerated its R&D efforts and consolidated operating expenses derived from the two acquisitions completed in 2017 (\$2.8 million). In 2018, the company leveraged its resources to pursue its investments notably in research & development to expand its offer to serve high growth potential markets such as IoT and automotive.

All in all, operating expense remained below the previously announced \$36 to \$37 million range, as a result of disciplined management of expenses, reprioritization of projects, better than expected R&D tax credit in France (\$0.2m) and in the UK (\$0.2m) and to a lesser extent better EUR/USD exchange rate in the second half of 2018.

Adjusted operating income and EBITDA reflecting operating leverage

As anticipated, adjusted operating income of the core business decreased from \$8.3 million in 2017 to \$4.9 million in 2018 and EBITDA from \$8.8 million in 2017 to \$6.6 million in 2018 (higher than the estimated EBITDA of \$6.2 million communicated on January 15, 2019 due to lower operating expense).

Operating income (IFRS) impacted by non-cash items

The company generated an operating income of \$1.2 million in 2018, compared with \$1.6 million in 2017.

The operating income is explained mainly by:

  • the adjusted operating income of \$ 5.6 million;
  • net non-recurring expense in relation with acquisitions (in particular Verimatrix, Inc.) and past restructuring for \$1.8 million;
  • non cash items of \$2.6 million including: amortization expense related to intangible assets arising upon the company's acquisitions in recent years (Metaforic in 2014 and Meontrust and SypherMedia in 2017) for \$1.9 million and share-based payment expense for \$0.7 million.

Financial income/expense

Net financial income was \$3.2 million in 2018, the interest expense of the convertible bonds due 2022 being offset by a non-cash financial income of \$3.8 million following the change in fair value of the conversion option on the convertible bonds, and interest earned on investments and foreign exchange gains.

Consolidated net income

In 2018, the company generated a consolidated net income (IFRS) of \$3.4 million against a loss of \$1.1 million in 2017. It is derived from the operating income of \$1.2 million, net financial income of \$3.2 million and income tax expense of \$1.0 million.

Strong cash position

As of December 31, 2018, the company's consolidated cash position was \$47.4 million, compared with \$45.9 million at December 31, 2017. Operating activities generated \$2.8 million of cash flow in 2018 (\$4.5 million excluding payment of fees and other expenses in relation with the project to acquire of Verimatrix, Inc).

Post closing event – Completion of the acquisition of Verimatrix

Inside Secure closed the acquisition of Verimatrix Inc. on February 28 2019. At closing, Inside Secure paid \$138.1 million in cash in consideration for 100% of the shares and an additional amount of \$9.8 million set in escrow to cover potential post-closing adjustments and an earn-out, estimated to \$8 million, final amount of which will be known in the second quarter of 2019 following completion of year-end audit of Verimatrix earnings.

Business outlook

In 2019, the Company will focus on integrating Verimatrix to create a leader Software-based security powerhouse. The combined Group will benefit as early as this year from its new scale and leverage the Verimatrix resilient revenue base and from the mix of both recurring and repeat revenue from both companies.

This year, the company will focus on implementing first cost synergies of \$4 million (out of the targeted \$10 million per year on a run rate basis) and leveraging key assets - a strong technology and product portfolio as well as a complementary customer base – to build the best value proposition in security for our customers, starting with entertainment and moving towards Internet of Things and Connected Cars.

Adding Verimatrix to its core business, Inside Secure should deliver in 2019 higher reported EBITDA, primarily due to the incremental earnings brought by Verimatrix and the generation of first cost synergies.

On a longer term, Inside Secure confirms its objective to achieve a revenue6 of \$150 million in 2021 while generating an EBITDA7 margin of 25% of revenue.

6 on a like-for-like basis by integrating only Verimatrix, excluding any acquisitions or disposals of businesses or companies.

7 including the full impact of the \$10 million annual expected cost synergies from the combination of Inside Secure and Verimatrix. Target revenue and operating expenses are based on a dollar/euro exchange rate of \$1.17, i.e. the conversion rate used for the operating budget for the year 2019.

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 company'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 company's consolidated financial statements and their related notes. The company 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 company, even though they use similar terms.

Adjusted revenue is defined as revenue before non-recurring adjustments related to business combinations. It enables comparable revenue for future fiscal years. In 2018, the combined entities would have generated a pro forma adjusted revenue of \$124 million (\$119 million in 2017) and a pro forma revenue of \$122 million (\$116 million in 2017) as Verimatrix recorded \$2 million of deferred revenue as at December 31, 2017 (\$3 million of deferred revenue as at December 31, 2016) which, in accordance with IFRS, cannot be recognized in the year following the acquisition.

Adjusted operating income/(loss) is defined as operating income/(loss) before (i) the amortization of intangible assets related to business combinations, (ii) any potential goodwill impairment, (iii) sharebased payment expense and (iv) non-recurring costs associated with restructuring and business combinations and divestiture undertaken by the company.
