Ekinops: €84.2m in Revenue in 2018, Exceeding the Annual TargetPARIS, January 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- - Proforma annual growth of 14% - 2018 profit margins expected to largely exceed targets EKINOPS (Euronext Paris - FR0011466069 - EKI), a leading global supplier of telecommunications solutions for telecom operators, has published its consolidated revenue for 2018. OneAccess and its subsidiaries have been fully consolidated in the Group financial statements since October 1, 2017. Pro forma EURm - IFRS - unaudited 2017 2018 Change change 12-month revenue 34.29 84.22 +146% +14% Ekinops posted Q4 2018 consolidated revenue of €21.20 million, an increase of 9% from Q4 2017 (no change in consolidation scope between the two periods). Full-year consolidated revenue thus amounted to €84.22 million, up 146% as reported. On a pro forma basis, with the consolidation of OneAccess and its subsidiaries backdated to January 1, 2017, year-on-year growth came to 14% (vs 2017 pro forma revenue of €73.8 million), up 19% in the second half alone. 2018 revenue therefore exceeded the annual target raised from €80 million to €82 million in mid-September. 32% growth for the Top 10 clients The top ten clents, six of which are Tier 1 operators, therefore account for 62% of the Group's business in 2018, up from 54% the previous year. These excellent results reflect the strong interest for Ekinops' technological solutions, at a time when network layers are converging and virtualized services and Software-Defined Networks (SDN) architectures are being deployed. 58% of business generated abroad in 2018 Asia Pacific posted a solid sales performance in 2018, mainly in Australia, and now accounts for 9% of total business (vs 7% in 2017). Lastly, the Americas account for 12% of total business, stable compared to 2017 (13%). This region, where Ekinops recently opened its US head office near Washington, will be a real growth driver over the coming years, with major growth opportunities already in the pipeline. Profit margins expected to exceed targets: full-year EBITDA margin at least equal to H1 margin In view of these results, the full-year EBITDA margin should largely exceed the annual target already raised to 5% in mid-September. Ekinops now expects the full-year EBITDA margin to be at least equal to the 9.5% margin recorded in H1 2018. 2019 Financial calendar Date Release Tuesday, March 26, 2019 FY 2018 results (audited) Tuesday, April 16, 2019 Q1 2019 revenues (unaudited) Tuesday, May 21, 2019 General Meeting Wednesday, July 17, 2019 Q2 2019 revenues (unaudited) Wednesday, September 25, 2019 H1 2019 results (audited) Wednesday, October 16, 2019 Q3 2019 revenues (unaudited) Wednesday, January 22, 2020 FY 2019 revenue (unaudited) All press releases are published after Euronext Paris market close.
