Paris, May 12th 2009 – DALET has announced consolidated revenues (unaudited) for the first quarter of 2009 of €3.6 million, stable with respect to the same period last year (+1%). Gross Margin was almost unchanged at €3.2 million.
Sharp increase in US sales: +249%
US sales increased sharply from €0.4 million in Q1-2008 to €1.6 million in Q1-2009 (+249% in euros, +204% in dollars). This growth is entirely driven by sales on the US TV market to broadcasters that are relying on Dalet solutions to enhance their content production capabilities while controlling costs.
Sales growth in the US compensated for the weak quarter sales in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions (-34%), due to the on going economic crisis. Dalet estimates that this sales trend will continue over the next few months. As a consequence, Dalet has streamlined its European operations while reinforcing its US team.
Dalet’s order backlog expected to be invoiced in 2009 stands at €9.9 million.
