  Philippe Vallée, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Gemalto’s revenue was stable over the first nine months of 2016. In the third quarter, Enterprise and Government Programs posted moderate revenue increases while Machine-to-Machine’s growth accelerated. Payment and SIM sales were in line with the Company’s expectations for the quarter. Gemalto expects to increase its gross margin by +1.5 percentage point through an acceleration of revenue growth towards the end of the year. From the current planning processes, Gemalto’s 2017 profit from operations is expected to be between €500 million and €520 million, which corresponds to an annual expansion of around +10% since 2013. This outlook reflects a very adverse mobile environment and slower than anticipated migration of payment cards in 2017. It also takes into account plans for increased investments to capture growth beyond 2017 in Mobile Platforms & Services, Enterprise and Government Programs. Gemalto’s Platforms & Services revenue objective of €1 billion in 2017 remains unchanged.”

  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 currencies other 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 measureFair 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, and Other income (expense) net.

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