Outlook for 2006
Perspectives 2006
Over 2006, the company anticipates a strong growth for thenetbox business which should increase from 90,000 terminals in 2005 up to 220-250,000 units in 2006. The sales will be boostedby the technological innovation created by the HD and the new formats (MPEG4 et Microsoft).
New investments in viewtime will be made with the initial objective to create new offers in synergy with Digital Terminalsenabling recurrent income and increased profitability on theoverall operations.
The exports will be rising in all target markets and we are expecting nice surprises in the UK.
Terminals in France: Triple Play
� The exceptional dynamism of the French ADSL market whichshould continue over 2006 places France as one of the prime markets for « triple play » offers.
� Three major actors, including Neuf Cegetel, currently dominate this market.
� Also, the apparition of new actors is inexorable. They presentan opportunity for Netgem to increase its partnerships.
9TV in the heart ofNeuf Cegetel’s strategy
For 6 euros per month, more than 60 national and international channels with all DTT channels, including TF1 and M6. Dozen of a la carte channels. Free terminal.
The possibility with the same card and remote control to subscribe to the offers of CanalSat, TPS and Canal+ le Bouquet. The richestADSL choice.
A 7-day Electronic Programme Guide with an exclusive HitView9 service. Acces to one’s voicemail. A Media Player service. A new Videoconferencing service.
30% of the ADSL clients subscribe to the 9TV offer (source: Neuf Cegetel on 31/12/05).
France: the DTT
� Netgem is present in the DTT market through the sales ofDTT/ADSL operators.
� Netgem’s presence in the « non-enriched » DTT marketwith low added value is limited to a bottom-of-the-rangeterminal targeting the « 2nd TV set ». It is distributed by Boulanger and more recently by Teleshopping (iPlayer4600).
� The arrival of the MPEG4, pay-TVs and the high definitionwill give Netgem the possibility to reassess its offer in thismarket and consider offers with higher added value.
The High Definition
� Netgem just announced its new high definition multimediaterminal (series 7000).
Build on the Group’s hybrid technology, it enables to target:• the IPTV market with DTT channels (terminal to rent).• the « enriched DTT » market (terminal on sale).
� It enables the reception of IPTV bouquets as well as free andpaying DTT (HD and SD) and gives access to new interactive services such as the VOD and TVOD.
� It can be equipped with an internal or external hard disk in order to offer digital video recorder (DVR) services.
Digital Terminals: global approach for the household
MultimediaHome Network
Media Services in France
Netgem intends to develop an independent Services unit targeting theMedias with the objective to help them as they are undergoing changes related to convergence and new networks.
In particular, the current activity related to the Viewtime Pro offer will bedeveloped according to the audience and usage of the new television.
The arrival of Marc Tessier confirms the Group’s new ambitions in thisfield. The investments are in progress. The offers will be presentedshortly.
The Group has been organized with the objective of a strong synergydevelopment between this business and Digital Terminals (container-contents synergies) in order to improve profitability and business recurrence.
Netgem in Spain
� Netgem is present in Spain with a B2B offer (« sales outlet digital animation ») which is distributed by theB2B sales division of Telefonica. The contract iscurrently under renegotiation.
� The burgeoning competition in the B2C ADSL marketcould present development opportunities for theGroup’s B2C offers.
Netgem in the Benelux
Netgem is present in Belgium with Mediaxim and in the Netherlandswith TV Times.
Since 1/1/06, Netgem holds 49% of both companies together with a financial group, Trust Capital.
Mediaxim has a strategic position in the Belgian market as a media data provider. This position was strengthened as the company recentlyentered into an exclusive long-term contract with the CIM (interprofessional media organization).
The execution of this contract requires, however, substantialinvestments over 2005 and 2006. They will be mainly taken care of by Trust. In the Netherlands, TV Times provides a centralized TV codingservice under a multi-annual contract.
Netgem in the UK
Media Services business should remain stable as far as theGroup enlargens its offer or its client base.
New opportunities arise for Digital Terminals after a difficultyear 2005. They are in particular related to « enriched DTT »offers (DTT + hard disk + TVOD services and VOD in a legalpeer-to-peer distribution mode on the Internet) distributed by ISPs or retailers.
