Philippe Vallée, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Gemalto’s 2018 results reflect its success at implementing its strategic priorities with a return to the Company’s historical pattern of growing profits.

In the Identity, IoT & Cybersecurity segment, double digit revenue growth was fueled by the broadening of our portfolio in a dynamic Governments market, by the growing enterprise demand for cloud-based cybersecurity solutions and by the rapid expansion of IoT connectivity for industrial applications. In these businesses, Gemalto continued throughout the year to increase its marketing and R&D investments in order to strengthen its long-term competitive positioning. In the Smartcards & Issuance segment, the Payment business stabilized in large part due to the US EMV normalization, while the removable SIM continued to decrease in line with expectations. The sound execution of the Company’s transition plan, its portfolio optimization and selective approach of business opportunities delivered solid profit margin in 2018.

Moving forward, in the Identity, IoT & Cybersecurity segment, we anticipate strong demand for border management and biometric solutions driven by the sharp increase in air traffic and evolving law enforcement needs. We also expect an acceleration in deployments of cloud-based cybersecurity solutions in line with stringent regulation and more high-profile breaches. We should also see a proliferation of power-sensitive IoT connectivity use cases across various industrial sectors. In the Smartcards & Issuance segment, demand for both payment cards and digital payment should increase in line with cashless trends. In parallel, removable SIM demand will continue to gradually shift toward eSIM as an increasing array of devices use dematerialized connectivity.

In this context, our strategic priorities are confirmed. We will continue to invest in the fast growing Identity, IoT and Cybersecurity segment. In Smartcards & Issuance, we will pursue the digitalization of the segment while leveraging our strong market positions.

As the Thales transaction comes to a close, we are fully prepared to join forces with the Thales teams in order to accelerate the deployment of Gemalto’s strategic plan in the digital security market.”

Basis of preparation of financial information

Segment information

The Identity, IoT & Cybersecurity segment comprises businesses associated with homeland security for governments (“Governments”), IoT connectivity for industrial applications (“IoT”) and cybersecurity for enterprises (“Cybersecurity”).

The Smartcards & Issuance segment comprises businesses mainly associated with removable SIM cards (“SIM”), payment cards (“Payment”) and their issuance services. The segment includes as well businesses associated to the digital transformation of smart cards (“Digital”) such as digital payment, digital banking, remote subscription management, embedded SIM/MIM and embedded secure elements. Patents business is also included in this segment.

Historical exchange rates and constant currency figures

The Company sells its products and services in a very large number of countries and is commonly remunerated in other currencies than the Euro. Fluctuations in these other currencies exchange rates against the Euro have in particular a translation impact on the reported Euro value of the Company revenues. Comparisons at constant exchange rates aim at eliminating the effect of currencies translation movements on the analysis of the Group revenue by translating prior-year revenues at the same average exchange rate as applied in the current year. Revenue variations are at constant exchange rates and include the impact of currencies variation hedging program, except where otherwise noted. All other figures in this press release are at historical exchange rates, except where otherwise noted.

Adjusted income statement and profit from operations (PFO) non-GAAP measure

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and with section 2:362(9) of the Netherlands Civil Code.

To better assess its past and future performance, the Company also prepares an adjusted income statement where the key metric used to evaluate the business and make operating decisions over the period 2010 to 2018 is the profit from operations (PFO).

PFO is a non-GAAP measure defined as IFRS operating profit adjusted for (i) the amortization and impairment of intangibles resulting from acquisitions, (ii) restructuring and acquisition-related expenses, (iii) all equity-based compensation charges and associated costs; and (iv) fair value adjustments upon business acquisitions. These items are further explained as follows:

  • Amortization, and impairment      of intangibles resulting from acquisitions are defined as the      amortization, and impairment expenses related to intangibles assets and      goodwill recognized as part of the allocation of the excess purchase      consideration over the share of net assets acquired.

  • Restructuring and      acquisitions-related expenses are defined as (i) restructuring expenses      which are the costs incurred in connection with a restructuring as defined      in accordance with the provisions of IAS 37 (e.g. sale or termination of a      business, closure of a plant,…), and consequent costs; (ii) reorganization      expenses defined as the costs incurred in connection with headcount      reductions, consolidation of manufacturing and offices sites, as well as      the rationalization and harmonization of the product and service portfolio      and the integration of IT systems, consequent to a business      combination; and (iii) transaction costs (such as fees paid as part of an      acquisition process).

  • Equity-based compensation      charges are defined as (i) the discount granted to employees acquiring      Gemalto shares under Gemalto Employee Stock Purchase plans; (ii) the      amortization of the fair value of stock options and restricted share units      granted by the Board of Directors to employees; and the related costs.

  • Fair value adjustments over      net assets acquired are defined as the reversal, in the income statement,      of the fair value adjustments recognized as a result of a business      combination, as prescribed by IFRS3R. Those adjustments are mainly      associated with (i) the amortization expense related to the step-up of the      acquired work-in-progress and finished goods assumed at their realizable      value and (ii) the amortization of the cancelled commercial margin related      to deferred revenue balance acquired.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable IFRS measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.

In the adjusted income statement, Operating Expenses are defined as the sum of Research and Engineering expenses, Sales and Marketing expenses, General and Administrative expenses, Other income and Other expenses.

EBITDA is defined as PFO plus depreciation and amortization expenses, excluding the above amortization and impairment of intangibles resulting from acquisitions.

Net debt and net cash

Net debt is a non IFRS measure defined as total borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents. Net cash is a non IFRS measure defined as cash and cash equivalents net of total borrowings.

Adjusted financial information

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. To better assess its past and future performance, the Company also prepares an adjusted income statement and uses it for daily management purposes.

Gemalto posted revenue of €2,969 million for the full year, increasing by +3% at constant exchange rates and stable at historical exchange rates when compared to the same period of last year. The Company’s revenue growth was driven by a double digit revenue increase from the Identity, IoT and Cybersecurity segment partially offset by revenue erosion from the Smartcards & Issuance segment.

Gross profit came in at €1,099 million and gross profit margin settled at 37%, a comparable level to last year. This result combines an increase in gross profit resulting from strong revenue growth in the Identity, IoT & Cybersecurity segment that came with slight margin erosion and that was offset by a gross profit decrease in line with the revenue drop in the Smartcards & Issuance segment.

Operating expenses were down (€28) million, at (€767) million through tighter control of expenses in the Smartcards & Issuance segment including the disposal of a mobile sub-business line even as the Company continued to invest in the Identity, IoT & Cybersecurity segment in line with its strategic priorities.

As a result, profit from operations was €332 million.

Gemalto’s financial income was (€50) million, composed of interest on financial debt and currency fluctuations net of hedging.

Share of loss in associates was (€3) million for the full year 2018.

Adjusted profit before income tax came in at €280 million.

Adjusted income tax expense was (€69) million resulting in an adjusted income tax rate of 25% for the full year 2018.

Overall, the adjusted net profit of the Company was €212 million. Consequently, adjusted basic earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share came in respectively at €2.35 and €2.31.

Amortization and depreciation of intangibles resulting from acquisitions came in at (€85) million. This amount is mainly composed of the amortization of the Identity Management Business acquired in 2017 and that of Safenet acquired in 2015.

Restructuring and acquisition-related expenses were (€50) million, compared to (€114) million in 2017, essentially corresponding to restructuring and portfolio optimization costs of the transition plan as well as initial costs related to the Thales project. Year-on-year expenses were down (€64) million, reflecting the effects of the transition plan initiatives that were launched in 2017.

The equity-based compensation charge was (€32) million, down (€5) million from last year, as no major Long-Term Incentive plan was launched in 2018.

As a result, Gemalto recorded an operating profit of €166 million for the full year 2018.

The income tax charge came in at (€54) million compared to (€36) million the previous year. Excluding the impacts of the transition plan and the Thales project, the income tax rate was at 24% in line with the Gemalto long term income tax rate.

The net result was at €61 million profit for the full year 2018 leading to a basic earnings per share of €0.68.

Statement of financial position and cash position variation schedule

For the full year 2018, operating activities generated a cash flow of €366 million before changes in working capital.

Changes in working capital reduced cash flow generation by (€20) million in 2018 compared to (€14) million in 2017. The (€6) million deterioration of working capital from last year was attributable to the increase in inventories which were exceptionally low in 2017.

Cash consumed in restructuring activities and acquisition related expenses was (€70) million, up €22 million from last year. The cash was essentially used as part of the transition plan and through costs associated to the Thales project.

Capital expenditure and acquisition of intangibles amounted to (€129) million, i.e. 4.3% of revenue compared to 5.1% in 2017. The investment in Property, Plant, and Equipment amounted to (€33) million in 2018, (€32) million lower than last year resulting from the one-off effect of the rationalization of the Governments business footprint. The investment in intangible assets accounted for (€96) million, up €9 million on last year, mostly due to an increase in R&D capitalization.

As a result, in 2018 Gemalto generated free cash flow of €177 million.

At the announcement of the Thales offer on December 17, 2017, Gemalto treasury’s liquidity program was immediately suspended and ultimately closed in 2018.

As at December 31, 2018, the Company held 201,045 shares, or 0.22% of its own shares in treasury, a reduction of 137,998 shares from December 31, 2017, allocated to the employee share options plans. The total number of Gemalto shares issued was 90,920,356 shares as consequence of the issuance of 496,542 ordinary shares used to fund share based compensation plans. Net of the 201,045 shares held in treasury, 90,719,311 shares were outstanding as at December 31, 2018. The average acquisition price of the shares repurchased on the market by the Company held in treasury as at December 31, 2018 was €31.22.

In 2018, due to the Thales offer, Gemalto’s Board of Directors elected not to distribute a dividend in respect of the fiscal year 2017, leaving the offer at €51 euros cum dividend for each issued and outstanding share of Gemalto. As the Thales transaction is expected to close in Q1 2019, Gemalto’s Board of Directors will not propose a dividend distribution for the 2018 fiscal year.

Repayment of financing instruments including interests consumed (€194) million.

Cash in hand, net of bank overdrafts amounted to €257 million as of year-end 2018 versus €302 million at the end of 2017.

Considering the €808 million total amount of borrowings as at December 31, 2018, Gemalto’s net debt position decreased by €132 million down to €552 million. The net debt reduction was the product of free cash flow generated in 2018 and was partially offset by a cash outflow from merger and acquisition activities. Company net debt currently represents 1.15 times its adjusted EBITDA.

Identity, IoT and Cybersecurity full year revenue came in at €1,381 million, up +11% at constant exchange rates compared to 2017.

The Governments business posted strong revenue growth compared with the same period of last year. The positive performance was due to the contribution of the Identity Management Business and substantial secure document deliveries in Europe, Asia, and Africa offsetting weaker performance in the Middle East. In the second quarter, Gemalto won its largest ever passport contract with the United Kingdom Home Office. The contract spans 11.5 years, including 10 years of production and issuance services. Initial project deliveries took place in the fourth quarter. Gemalto also deployed a number of its commercial biometric solutions to large banking and telecom customers. These results highlight Gemalto’s innovation capabilities aimed at helping governments better protect their citizens, and Gemalto’s ability to apply biometric solutions in commercial markets where demand is fast growing.

The Cybersecurity business delivered a contrasted performance this year, in spite of revenue growth in its three sub-businesses. As more stringent regulatory environments on data privacy come into force, companies, especially in Europe, remained slow at developing cybersecurity initiatives which led to lower than expected revenue growth this year in the encryption sub business line. The software monetization sub-business revenue grew, supported by large projects in Europe and Asia while the authentication sub-business returned to growth on the back of acceleration in deployments of its cloud offer. In this context, Gemalto continued to increase its Marketing and R&D investments with a focus on its cloud offers that help organizations efficiently manage users’ authentication, access management and data protection across multiple private and public cloud environments. As a result of these investments, Gemalto is increasingly well positioned to capture the growing demand for cloud cybersecurity solutions.

The IoT business posted an outstanding revenue performance this year. The increase was driven by strong deliveries in Europe and Asia to large customers in Automotive, Health, Payment and Metering sectors. These successes reflect the unique combination of Gemalto’s extensive set of IoT modules that provide a sturdy foundation for secure connectivity and an improved lifecycle management which extends durability, reliability and flexibility. A combination that proves a compelling answer for the growing number of industrial solutions that require high availability, expanded coverage and long-life such as utility meters and smart city solutions. In addition, it also strengthens the business case for cellular IoT technology and Gemalto should continue to benefit from the sustained market demand across key industrial sectors.

Overall, the Identity, IoT & Cybersecurity segment’s gross profit was up +4% from last year at €564 million driven notably by the Governments business. Gross margin for the segment came in at 41%, down (1%) due to a business mix effect resulting from faster revenue growth in the IoT business.

Operating expenses for the segment came in at €427 million, up by €27 million compared with the same period of last year. This increase was mainly due to strong marketing and R&D investments in the three business lines to support the sustained growth.

As a result, profit from operations in the Identity, IoT & Cybersecurity segment came in at €137 million and profit from operations margin settled at 10% for the full year 2018.

Smartcards & Issuance full year revenue came in at €1,588 million, (3%) lower year-on-year at constant exchange rates.

As expected, the Payment business stabilized this year. This performance was due to US EMV market demand normalizing combined with solid payment card shipments in other regions and sustained contactless migrations across countries worldwide. This year also saw growing interest and initial scale deployments of the promising biometric technology for payment cards. The payment market is expected to continue to evolve along current trends. Removable SIM revenue continued to decrease this year due to the limited product mix evolution and, to a lesser extent, to the dismissal of low profit-margin opportunities. This business pattern is expected to continue, resulting in a sustained tight control of associated expenses.

The Digital business revenue was down year-on-year mostly due to Gemalto’s mobile services portfolio optimization as MNOs focus their investments toward eSIM. During the year, infrastructure deployments of connectivity solutions increased in key sectors of the IoT market and Apple’s decision in September to introduce eSIM technology in its new generation of iPhones was a turning point in the adoption of such technology. It should trigger an acceleration in the rate of activations that will benefit Gemalto’s eSIM solutions with Mobile Network Operators.

The Digital Banking sub businesses grew thanks to large authentication programs roll out with banks in Europe and Latin America. In digital payment, Gemalto grew its revenue and announced the enabling of Hong Kong’s Octopus card through Samsung Pay via its Trusted Service Hub (TSH), a landmark program that follows recent successes in Japan and Spain and one that confirms the competitiveness of Gemalto’s digital offer in this transforming market.

The Smartcards & Issuance segment’s gross profit was down (5%) at €535 million compared with last year, as a result of the impact of the revenue decrease in the removable SIM business and its ensuing revenue mix evolution. Gross margin improved slightly at 34% as the benefits of the transition plan were partially offset by the impact of the shift in the revenue mix toward Payment.

Operating expenses decreased by (€55) million down to (€340) million, reflecting the strong benefits of the transition plan and the disposal of a mobile sub business line as part of the portfolio optimization.

As a result, the Smartcards & Issuance segment’s profit from operations for 2018 was €195 million and its profit from operations margin settled at 12.3%. Excluding the one-off effect of a mobile sub business line disposal, the profit margin came in at 10.7%, in line with expectations.

Thales combination

In December 2017, Thales and Gemalto reached an agreement on a recommended all-cash offer for all issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Gemalto. This offer was launched on March 27, 2018. We are working together with Thales toward achieving the regulatory and antitrust approvals required to complete the transaction. Together with the antitrust clearances obtained in China, Israel, New Zealand, South Africa, Turkey, the European Union, Australia and Mexico and clearances relating to foreign investments in Australia, Canada and the United States (CFIUS), Thales and Gemalto have already obtained 11 of the required 14 Regulatory Clearances. The transaction should close shortly after all of the Regulatory Clearances have been secured, which is expected to occur in Q1 2019. More information on the Thales offer and the integration, including the offer document and related press releases, can be found on our website at Public Offer by Thales.

The full year 2017 adjusted basic earnings per share is determined on the basis of the weighted average number of Gemalto shares outstanding during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2017, i.e. 89,882,565 shares. The full year 2017 adjusted diluted earnings per share is determined by using 91,062,048 shares corresponding to the IFRS treasury stock method, i.e. on the basis of the same weighted average number of Gemalto shares outstanding and considering that all outstanding share based instruments were exercised (2,251,366 instruments) and the proceeds received from the instruments exercised (€51,148,401) were used to buy-back shares at the average share price of the full year 2017 (1,071,884 shares) at €47.72. However for the computation of the IFRS diluted earnings per share , their conversion to ordinary shares would not decrease earnings per share or increase loss per share and as such they have not been treated as dilutive.
