Good Revenue Growth of 15% the first quarter
Revenues reached 77 MSEK (67 MSEK) which marks a 15 % growth year-over-year. In comparable currencies the revenue increase was 17 %. Most financial ratios improved. The gross margin reached 61.1 % (57.8), and operating earnings as well as the operating margin improved compared with the same period previous year. The cash flow was negative 11 MSEK (-20), mainly due to continued inventory build-up for long lead time components and trade receivables.
First quarter showed a good mix between strong repeat business from larger existing customers, some new customers and a new important media contribution network for Swisscom Broadcast AG, covering many significant sport arenas in Switzerland. Again a large portion of our business 80 % (63) was generated in the Broadcast and Media Network business area (BMN), we also had good repeat business for the Digital Terrestrial TV area (DTT). As I have stated many times before the revenues generated through our partner network will vary over time and for Q1 it represented 40 % (62). We booked business for several large broadcasters and media service providers relating to the major sport event in London this summer. We will deliver the Nimbra MSR platform and transport video and data for many leading service providers and broadcasters from the media center in London. In conjunction with the Olympic Games the Nimbra MSR platform will also be used for specific remote production set ups. It is our aim to drive the trend towards remote production and workflow for increased efficiency, quality of service and reduced costs for live sports production.
Net Insight also won the prestigious SCTE 2012 Technological Innovation Award (Society for Broadband Professionals). Net Insight was selected for our service aware media network solution as the Best Broadband Network Transmission Solution 2012.
In summary the year has started off in a positive way.
