CHAIRMAN'S AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT 2013
Pilat Media is pleased to report its final results for the year
ended 31 December 2013. This has been another strong year of growth
with the Group achieving its highest annual revenue for the year as
a result of Q4 being the strongest quarter to date. Annual revenues
grew by 18.1% to GBP27.7 million (2012: GBP23.48 million) and cash
balances, net of loans, increased by GBP4.5 million to GBP15.2
million (2012: GBP10.7 million).
The growth in revenues results from new clients contracted
during the year as well as from the Group's existing client base,
where the demand for additional modules, license extensions,
software enhancements and additional services has increased. Over
83% of 2013 revenues came from existing clients, both those that
have been clients for a number of years as well as those that
signed in 2012 and were going through their implementations. It is
pleasing to see that such strength from the existing client base is
combined with five new contract conversions which were announced
during the year.
The five new contracts, two signed in the first half of the year
and three in the second half, are spread across the globe and cover
a diverse range of broadcasters, further demonstrating the
adaptability and versatility of the Group's IBMS software. The new
clients include (1) Seven Networks (Operations) Limited ("Seven
Television"), Australia's largest free to air television network
licensing the full suite of IBMS modules (2) Starz Entertainment
LLC ("Starz"), a leading provider of premium pay TV content and
services in America, licensing and implementing the IBMS software
for their content and rights management and linear and non-linear
on demand programming (3) a leading premium television network in
Latin America licensing the full suite of IBMS modules for gradual
implementation and long term maintenance for an eight year period,
(4) a new partner the Company has appointed in South America who
will be sublicensing and fronting the implementation of IBMS at
VTR, a major telecommunications company in Chile and (5) Digiturk,
a major provider of premium television service in Turkey, licensing
IBMS-Rights and IBMS-OnDemand.
To meet all of these new demands the Group has increased
recruitment of software engineers and has continued to invest
heavily in their training to ensure that they have sufficient
knowledge of the various modules of IBMS. This investment in new
people has had some detrimental impact on margins and profits but
despite this the Group has achieved its highest operating profit to
date and the Board believes that its current investments will bring
future benefits.
The Group has continued to invest in the OTTilus platform to
widen and complement its offering in the emerging Over The Top
("OTT") market and this still remains in a development phase.
During the year, the Group acquired the remaining 40% stake in
OTTilus Limited held by SimpleStream, the partner from whom Pilat
Media bought the base software for GBP435,000. This, together with
the development costs that have been capitalised in intangible
assets, make the total investment in the new product GBP995,000.
The platform is now being demonstrated to prospects and at trade
shows and stimulates interest; it is expected to reach commercial
availability and start to generate revenues later this year.
On 16 January 2014 the Boards of Sintec Media Ltd.
("SintecMedia"), Sintec Media Software Ltd., ("SMS") and Pilat
announced the terms of a recommended proposal under which
SintecMedia and its wholly owned subsidiary SMS will acquire for
cash the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Pilat not
already owned by SintecMedia (the "Acquisition"). It is intended
that the Acquisition will be effected by means of a scheme of
arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme").
The Company posted a scheme document to shareholders on 12 February
2014 (the "Scheme Document") which contains further information on
the Scheme.
Revenues
The revenues in Q4 2013 were the highest quarterly revenues for
the Group to date at GBP9.0 million (Q4 2012: GBP7.7 million) and
this resulted in an increase in annual revenues for 2013 by 18.1%
to GBP27.7 million, again the highest level to date.
As a result of the new contracts and the additional work for
existing customers revenues resulting from professional services,
which cover project management, requirement analysis,
customisation, integration, data migration, training and general
customer support, grew by more than 36% and altogether amounted to
GBP18.4 million, representing 66% of 2013 revenues (2012: GBP13.5
million, 57% of revenues).
Revenues for recurring support and maintenance services grew by
14% to GBP6.3 million from GBP5.5 million in 2012. This increase
was a result of implementation clients that went live in the year
and existing clients that added new modules requiring additional
support.
License fees in 2013 fell back to the 2011 level of GBP3.0
million (2012: GBP4.5 million) and represented only 11% of revenues
(2012: GBP4.5 million, 19.2% of revenues). The license fee revenue
in 2012 was boosted by some clients converting the licenses from
term licenses to perpetual licenses.
In respect of the large and long-term implementation contracts,
revenue on license fees and professional services are recognised
progressively according to the project's stage of completion, as in
previous years. The contribution of such long term contracts
increased in 2013 to 33% of revenue (2012: 26%) thanks to the new
contracts signed in the year. However, as some of these new
contracts only started activity in the second half of the year
their contribution to the Group's revenues was reduced and is
expected to increase in 2014.
In 2013 the Group's largest three clients contributed 25.3% to
revenues, a similar level to that of 2012, where the top three
clients contributed 25.5% of the total 2012 revenues.
The North and South American clients contributed 40% of total
revenues in 2013 (2012: 40%), the European and African clients
contributed 33% (2012: 37%) and the Australasian clients
contributed 27% (2012: 23%).
Research and development
As the market for business management software becomes more
competitive and broadcasters demand more so Pilat Media has
continued to invest in improvements to the IBMS software to ensure
it remains relevant and attractive to existing and new clients. In
2013 the Board made a further increase in the resources allocated
to R&D by 22% to GBP4.5 million (2012: GBP3.7 million) due to
the continued investment in new modules and features and a higher
proportion of enhancements commissioned by clients that were of a
generic nature. R&D efforts focused on making IBMS better
equipped to support multi-platform TV and TV Everywhere/Anytime
initiatives by further enhancing the Advanced Rights Module (adding
customer-defined, multilevel rights management to support
multiplatform media environments), developing a version of IBMS
that can be deployed in a cloud infrastructure and the creation of
IBMSExpress which can be deployed in just a few weeks.
Profitability
As a number of new projects started in the year and in
anticipation of growth to continue, Pilat Media increased its
development resources ahead of the projects getting fully up to
speed. Consequently the gross profit decreased slightly to 51.5% of
revenues (2012: 52.4%). 2012 also benefitted from an exceptional
number of license fee renewals which boosted the level of gross
profit. There was also a 5% increase in the sales and marketing
spend year on year (2013: GBP1.57 million; 2012: GBP1.49 million)
due to marketing resources added to promote OTTilus. There was a
small 3% rise in general and administrative costs primarily due to
an increase in depreciation on leasehold assets in Israel ahead of
a move to a new office in January 2014.
Operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets in
2013 was GBP3.4 million representing 12.3% of revenues, compared
with GBP2.8 million or 12.1% in 2012. Finance income remained at a
similar level to last year whilst finance costs were lower due to
the lower interest charges on the foreign currency loans as
balances were repaid during the year.
The effective rate of tax in 2013 is 22.0% (2012: 25.8%),
approximately the standard rate of corporate tax rate in the
UK.
Statement of Financial Position
As in previous years, the Group continued to achieve a
significant reduction in trade and other receivables, to GBP9.0
million at the end of 2013 compared GBP10.2 million at the end of
2012 and GBP11.3 million at the end of 2011. The reduction this
year is primarily as a result of improved speed of payment by a
number of the Group's new clients whereas in previous years the
reduction was primarily due to implementation projects being
completed during the year and the final milestone payments invoiced
and received.
As a result of collections during the year, cash balances
increased to GBP18.6 million from GBP14.9 million at 31 December
2012. The net cash balances which includes the sterling value of
the currency loans designed to minimise currency fluctuations is
GBP15.2 million compared to GBP10.7 million at the end of 2012.
During the year the Group repaid GBP0.8 million of these currency
loans and the balance of the loans at 31 December 2013 reduced to
GBP3.4 million (2012: GBP4.2 million). The currency loans are
repayable on demand but are not due for repayment in full until 31
December 2014.
Cash flow
As noted above, the Group generated GBP6.0 million of cash from
operating activities (2012: GBP4.3 million), and achieved a
significant increase in cash balances to GBP18.6 million (2012:
GBP14.9 million) whilst reducing the currency loan balance. The
cash balance net of loans increased at the end of 2013 to GBP15.2
million (2012: GBP10.7 million) as a result of collections of
receivables and the profit generated in the year.
Key Performance Indicators ("KPIs")
The Board uses a number of financial and non-financial key
performance indicators that help in managing the business. None of
the KPIs can be judged in isolation of each other nor can they be
used without due interpretation of the reasons that have caused the
changes.
The main financial KPI's the Board uses are:
2013 2012 2011
% change in revenues 18.1% 4.2% 3.0%
% net profit from operations
(1) 12.3% 12.1% 10.7%
Revenue per employee GBP105,430 GBP100,355 GBP103,330
(1) Operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets as
a percentage of revenue.
The Board is pleased with the growth in revenues, the increase
in percentage net profit from operations and the improvement in
revenue per employee.
The non-financial KPI's used by the Board are:
2013 2012 2011
Number of new contracts signed 5 2 2
Number of new staff hired 41 47 42
Staff turnover 8% 14% 19%
The reduction in staff turnover is mainly as a result of
continued stabilising measures to improve retention in Pliat
Media's offshore development centre in Kiev. This has enabled the
Group to further rely on this lower cost development centre to
further reduce the average cost of its software engineers.
In addition to the number of new contracts signed, the Board
makes a qualitative judgment about the significance of the new
contracts as well as the number of existing contracts that are
renewed. In this respect, the five new contracts signed and the
progress made in developing both the IBMS:Express product and the
OTTilus platform are considered of high importance.
Outlook
Pilat Media is in a very healthy position. It has a strong
balance sheet with significant cash resources, a client base of
over sixty global and high quality companies with good visibility
to revenues for 2014 and beyond. The Group continues to work on a
small number of highly targeted opportunities where it believes
chances of conversion to be good. The Group has expanded its
product base with the addition of IBMS:Express and OTTilus which
widens the Group's potential target market.
In the Scheme Document, Pilat Media and SintecMedia gave the
following background to and reasons for the Scheme:
"SintecMedia and Pilat have been developing and marketing
business management software for broadcasters for many years. The
two companies provide end-to-end integrated and modular solutions,
targeting major broadcasters and media companies around the world.
The market in which SintecMedia and Pilat operate is rapidly
evolving, with new players and new technologies presenting new
opportunities but also difficult challenges. The Boards of
SintecMedia and Pilat believe that the merger of the SintecMedia
and Pilat groups of companies will realise a number of benefits for
clients and staff, resulting from the considerable additional scale
of the Enlarged Group."
