Paris, April 24, 2025 - Ateme (ISIN: FR0011992700) generated revenues of €18.4 million in the 1st Quarter of 2025, up +4% on a reported basis and +3% like-for-like.
By region, the following performances were recorded:
- EMEA (Europe Middle East & Africa) revenues were down -17% at €7.4m (-17% like-for-like). As a reminder, the region's growth was +38% in Q1 2024.
- The USA/Canada region delivered revenues of €5.7m, up +15% (+14% like-for-like).
- Asia Pacific revenues were up +53% to €3.0m (52% like-for-like).
- Latin America revenues were up +20% to €2.2m (18% like-for-like).
All the regions essentially reflect the previous year's comparison basis.
Monthly Recurring Revenues (MRR[2]) declined from €2,954K in January 2025 to €2,708K in April 2025, mostly due to the non-renewal of a single, sizeable maintenance contract.
The recent NAB Show confirmed Ateme's outstanding reputation
Devoncroft released the results of its 2024 "Big Broadcast Survey," where Ateme was ranked among the top 30 companies in multiple categories including "Net Change in Overall Opinion" and "Vision of the Future." This recognition is especially meaningful given that the ranking spans the entire tech ecosystem, including cloud providers and audio specialists, and notably does not include our direct competitors.
The Devoncroft conference, which opened the NAB Show in Las Vegas, painted a picture of a media and broadcast industry in transition, marked by modest overall growth, certain segments facing headwinds, and an increasingly strong influence from cloud providers.
Nielsen studies show that over the past three years, U.S. audiences have significantly shifted toward streaming platforms (up +16%), at the expense of traditional video offerings from cable operators.
In response, Ateme has evolved its go-to-market strategy to align with this transformation:
- Pursuing growth with a stable sales headcount focused on developing new accounts, and more investments in inside sales, customer success functions, and lead generation. It has been the guiding principle for the North American sales reorganization at the beginning of 2025;
- Prioritizing events better aligned with our evolving customer base, such as streaming platforms and sports organizations;
- Reaffirming our independence from public clouds by maintaining an infrastructure-agnostic approach. Our solutions are available across major clouds as well as on-premises, supporting customers who choose to retain control over their infrastructure for autonomy or cost reasons.
At the Ateme booth at NAB, the following demos were particularly successful:
- More efficient video compression remains the holy grail for our clients to save on their distribution costs, and Ateme claims leading the race in the 3 majors compression standards (AVC, HEVC, and AV1) the industry is deploying today, as confirmed by a major global streaming platform;
- Moving content distribution from Satellite to IP/OTT, embracing a paradigm shift in primary distribution by leveraging OTT technologies for greater flexibility and scalability;
- Monetization with our Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI) and graphics overlay solution;
- AI-powered Speech-to-Speech automatic audio conversion to multiple languages, dramatically accelerating the international distribution of any content.
Financial objectives confirmed
With the return to growth initiated in Q1 and commercial momentum regained in North America, Ateme reaffirms all its objectives. Improving profitability remains the top priority in 2025.
Looking further ahead, Ateme reaffirms its medium-term objectives for 2027:
- Consistent revenue growth to reach €130 million;
- Direct cost margin of €99 million;
- EBITDA of €22 million;
- Monthly recurring revenue (MRR) of €4 million.
Michel Artières, Chairman and CEO of Ateme, commented: "The return to growth in the first quarter is an encouraging sign, even if the pace remains moderate. Our North American operations are on the right track to recovery, following the significant reorganization carried out at the beginning of the year.
In a fast-changing global industry, the main challenge ahead lies in repositioning ourselves quickly toward the most dynamic segments, particularly streaming platforms and sports organizations, where we have already made significant progress. Our broadly recognized innovation and technology leadership are instrumental
in convincing new strategic customers in these spaces."
