Paris, October 17, 2024 - Ateme (ISIN: FR0011992700) generated revenues of €22.4 million in the Third Quarter of 2024, up 10% year-on-year (same like-for-like). At the end of the first nine months of 2024, consolidated revenues stood at €63.2 million, with a decline now limited to -9% (-8% like-or-like) vs. -17% at the end of H1. This reflects a strong base effect in the First Quarter 2023 when revenues rose 34% on a like-for-like basis (a drop of -35% in Q1 2024).
- EMEA revenues were up 25% (+26% like-for-like) over the first nine months to €27.8 million. This region accounted for 36% of Ateme's total revenues as of September 2024, making it the company's largest market;
- The US/Canada region returned to growth in Q3, with quarterly revenue of €6.1 million, an increase of +18% (+21% like-for-like). Over nine months, revenues stood at €16.0 million, down -48% (-47% like-for-like), versus -61% in H1. This evolution is primarily due to a strong base effect from Q1 2023 and the wave of consolidation in the North American video content industry, which has slowed investment decisions. Ateme anticipates the commercial recovery that began in Q3 to continue in this region;
- Asia Pacific revenues continued robust growth, with an increase of +25% (+27% like-for-like) over nine months to €12.6 million, continuing the dynamic trend from H1;
- Revenues in the Latin America region reached €6.8 million by the end of September 2024, up +3% over nine months (same like-for-like).
Monthly Recurring Revenues (MRR[3]) were up by €205 K in the Third Quarter 2024 at €2.8 million, accelerating over the past quarter thanks to the signing of three multi-year contracts (3 to 5 years) in EMEA and APAC regions.
Year-on-year, MRR was up by €427 K, or +18%, and at the beginning of October represented Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of €33.7 million.
Outlook & Financial objectives
With growth of +10% in Q3 2024 and a strong pipeline for Q4, Ateme confirms that revenues for the Second Half are expected to exceed significantly the First Half, following the established seasonal pattern.
Meanwhile, operating expenses (opex) will continue to decrease in the Second Half, driven by organizational streamlining and product offerings optimization. Ateme expects to end the year with lower opex and headcount compared to 2023.
Benoît Fouchard's Return to the Executive Committee
Since early October 2024, Benoît Fouchard has been appointed Chief Operating Officer (COO) within Ateme's Executive Committee. In line with good corporate governance practices, the Board of Directors accepted Benoît Fouchard's resignation from his position as an Independent Board Member, effective October 16, 2024. The company would like to acknowledge Benoît's commitment since 2001 within the company, and later within the Board of Directors, where he has made a significant contribution to the company's growth and strategy.
Michel Artières, Chairman and CEO of Ateme, comments: "Following the Second Quarter, Ateme continued to make up for its revenue shortfall during the past quarter, particularly in the U.S./Canada region, which returned to growth in the Third Quarter (+18%), benefiting from a much more favorable comparison base in the Second Half. Moreover, starting in 2024, we will benefit from ambitious actions to streamline our organization and product lines. This will enable us to aim for performances comparable to 2023 over the entire 2024 fiscal year, despite a more challenging macroeconomic environment than expectedAteme is continuing its strategy of building Monthly Recurring Revenue, which has increased by more than €400 K over the past year. This represents an additional embedded revenue of €5 million for 2025 and the years to come."
