DALET, a leading provider of software solutions for the creation, management and distribution of multimedia content for broadcasters, operators and content producers, posted consolidated revenues (unaudited) of €11.7 million for the first quarter of 2019, up 2% from Q1-2018 revenues. Commercial gross profit (defined as sales minus cost of goods and third-party services resold) was up by 9% at €10.8 million or 93% of revenues over the first quarter of 2019, as against 86% for the same period in 2018 due to the more favorable sales mix.
More favorable sales mix in First quarter
Software revenues (comprising licenses and support revenues) were up by 7% at €7.5 million. Within software revenues, license sales were up 3% at €3 million, and the growth of the installed base continued feeding recurring support revenues, which were up 10% for the quarter at €4.6 million.
Overall revenues were bolstered by a 23% increase in Service revenues (integration, configuration and training professional services) at €3.0 million. Hardware resale, which is a non-strategic business for Dalet, decreased as planned to €1.2 million (-43%).
Revenues in the Americas zone stood at €4.9 million, up 5%. Revenues for Europe were down by 15% at €4.9 million (-11% excluding hardware resale), due to an unfavorable base effect related to last year's 14% growth in this region. Asia-Pacific revenues jumped over the quarter by 61% at €1.9 million, thanks to significant contract wins in Japan and Australia.
Outlook: confirmation of targets for continued growth of commercial gross profit and improved operating margins
DALET's activity is well in line with its business plan after this first quarter, thus allowing Dalet to confirm its targets for 2019 of continued growth of its commercial gross profit and of a current operating margin of 5 to 6%.
