Little Cinema Digital CEO joins Verimatrix at Summit to present how his company is helping to transform Hollywood events, powered by seamless, secure experiences.
Verimatrix, (Paris:VMX), the leader in powering the modern connected world with people-centered security, today announced that Jon Samsel, Senior Vice President of Marketing, will discuss the value of harnessing security as a differentiator for the M&E industry during the upcoming virtual Variety Entertainment & Technology Summit.
https://entertainmenttechnology.splashthat.com/
On Thursday, September 23, 2021 from 10:50 to 11:20 a.m. Pacific Time, Samsel will take part in a panel alongside Little Cinema Digital CEO Jay Rinsky and moderator Todd Spangler, NY Digital Editor at Variety. Register for free today.
Titled, "Security That's Transforming Hollywood: The Little Cinema Digital Story," the online event serves as an opportunity for attendees to learn how Verimatrix and Little Cinema Digital collaborated to transform the traditional Hollywood movie premiere business into an immersive virtual event platform that breaks down traditional limitations of venue capacities or locations. By leading with security, the company has been able to elevate and amplify these hybrid events by satisfying the highest security requirements mandated by studios and television networks.
In November 2020, Verimatrix first announced that New York-based Little Cinema deployed Verimatrix Watermarking
https://www.verimatrix.com/products/watermarking/
and Multi-DRM technologies
https://www.verimatrix.com/products/multi-drm/
for its virtual premieres and previews – fulfilling enhanced protection requirements for its high-value, early-release content via Verimatrix and its Secure Cloud. Since that initial announcement, the collaboration continues to help make engaging, seamless events possible.
"Verimatrix is honored to play a seamless, behind the scenes role in making Little Cinema Digital’s virtual cinematic storytelling experiences a success," Samsel said. "I’m pleased to join Jay and Todd on this Variety panel to explain how security has served as a core enabler for Little Cinema Digital’s growth story, given the unique virtual opportunities and requirements we face today."

Having previously collaborated with Verimatrix, IDC expects this latest deployment to serve as a potential springboard for additional similar deployments in the region and beyond.

"Verimatrix is widely recognized as a consistently compliant solution.

Leading Innovator in Employee Engagement Space Labels Verimatrix Application Shielding an Efficient, Robust Choice.
Verimatrix,
https://www.verimatrix.com/
(Paris:VMX) (Euronext Paris: VMX), the leader in powering the modern connected world with people-centered security, [b[color=green]]today announced its application shielding solutions were selected by Oakland, California-based Recode Health to protect its STRIVE Benefits mobile app.[/color]
https://strivebenefits.com/
Serving as the SaaS benefits communication platform of choice for thousands of businesses throughout the United States, STRIVE’s mobile app aims to modernize employer-employee relations by seamlessly educating employees so that they stay ahead of the curve and have fingertip access to their benefits guides, balances, financial information and other customizable data. Due to the sensitive nature of the information within the app, such as telemedicine and Rx integrations to save on healthcare costs, the STRIVE management team prioritizes its cybersecurity stance and looked to ensure that its mobile app is as secure as possible.
"The protection of employer and employee data is paramount at STRIVE," said Saravanan Chettiar,
https://www.linkedin.com/in/saravanan-chettiar-57b96/
CEO at STRIVE Benefits. "As we continue to nearly double our business each year, we know this momentum is built on innovation as well as trust. As such, we routinely go through vulnerability testing and we looked to be sure that cybercriminals lacked a path inside our mobile app. Verimatrix enabled us to conduct an efficient and robust trial that proved successful at preventing reverse engineering and gained a solid stamp of approval from our eagle-eyed auditors. It was a seamless and straightforward decision to choose Verimatrix."
With compliance top of mind, both from a regulations perspective and a partner/customer standpoint, the many large organizations that STRIVE Benefits works with are reassured by its use of proven cybersecurity leaders to safeguard against bad actors.
"Verimatrix is proud to call STRIVE one of its latest mobile app customers," said Asaf Ashkenazi,
https://www.linkedin.com/in/asafashkenazi/
Chief Operating Officer at Verimatrix. "As an innovator in a complex space, STRIVE continually works with private information that’s empowering and helpful, but also potentially valuable to cybercriminals who prey on private information. When an employee logs in to STRIVE’s app, there’s little that’s more important than trust and security – and we’re pleased to work with STRIVE to ensure its overall protection posture remains strong."
About STRIVE Benefits
Built from frustrated employees of both small and large companies, STRIVE was created to elevate the employee experience at work by making them feel more engaged and productive as well as happier and healthier. There are simply no tools out there to help employees navigate healthcare. STRIVE fills the void. Whether it’s mobile or web-based, STRIVE meets employees at their time of need and delivers critical information. By re-imagining the employee engagement space, STRIVE enables employers to easily address their specific needs through a quickly-implemented, user-friendly platform.

Verimatrix: Survey of Mobile Banking Security Experts Reveals Questionable Practices.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/verimatrix-survey-mobile-banking-security-154500974.html

Despite Labeling Mobile Security as Important for Their Financial Institutions, CISOs Often Leave Mobile Application Security Decisions to Others.
Verimatrix, (Euronext Paris: VMX),
https://www.verimatrix.com/
the leader in powering the modern connected world with people-centered security, today announced the release of its commissioned ISMG
https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/
report titled, "The State of Mobile Banking App Security."
The full report is available for download at
https://www.verimatrix.com/ebooks/state-of-mobile-security/
Featuring responses from 150 financial services security professionals throughout the United States, Canada and EMEA, the report’s survey illustrates a notable disconnect between the importance placed on mobile apps and the attention it receives from the highest-level security professionals. Although 82 percent of respondents said securing the mobile channel was important or very important, just over half of CISOs report evaluating, influencing or deciding on mobile security.
More than 60 percent of respondents said they were confident about the level of security on their mobile apps, yet they admitted they outsourced mobile app development 50% of the time, or purchased a white label solution 19% of the time, meaning the chain of responsibility for app security is less verifiable than might be expected in the sector. A surprising 39% of respondents don't run vulnerability analysis and penetration tests on mobile channels.
In addition to tracking executive-level involvement and outsourcing trends, the report discusses the challenges surrounding developing and securing the mobile channel. It highlights banking security teams’ greatest concerns related to mobile banking as well as what types of mobile attacks are most prevalent and how today’s banking security executives are mitigating the risk.
"It’s clear that security professionals within the financial services sector understand just how critical mobile apps are to their business, but this must translate into more executive-level involvement when creating a strategy to protect their apps that ingest and deliver highly sensitive data," said Asaf Ashkenazi,
https://www.linkedin.com/in/asafashkenazi/
Chief Operating Officer at Verimatrix. "We’re pleased to sponsor this ISMG report that shows that words are one thing, deeds are quite another. Taking ownership of mobile app security early on is the key to secure users and save corporate reputations."
A summary of top findings includes:
- 82% of respondents consider securing the mobile channel to be important or very important for their financial institution.
- 69% perceive the mobile channel to be critical or very critical to their financial institution.
- 53% of CISOs are involved in evaluating, influencing or deciding on mobile security.
- Nearly 70% perceive the mobile channel to be critical or very critical for their financial institution.
- 60% are confident about the level of security on their mobile apps, and only 8% of those are extremely confident.
- Nearly 33% are worried or very worried about application/API hacks.

https://www.verimatrix.com/
the leader in powering the modern connected world with people-centered security, today announced its recognition by Cyber Defense Magazine as a 2021 Global Infosec Award
https://cyberdefenseawards.com/
winner in the NextGen for Application Security category.
Verimatrix’s powerful app shielding technologies are deployed across a vast variety of sectors, including some of the most security conscious markets. This most recent award underscores the unique protection methodology that is carefully engineered by Verimatrix and trusted by organizations around the world.
Verimatrix application shielding solutions, such as Verimatrix Code Protection,
https://www.verimatrix.com/products/code-protection/
have been deployed in more than 400 million downloaded mobile applications and IoT devices. The solutions easily integrate with applications and software components, avoiding unnecessary disruption to the software development cycle. Additionally, Verimatrix’s unique technology allows for the dramatic acceleration of time-to-market timelines, requiring minimal specialist security knowledge when integrating secure crypto architectures into an existing software build.

“Verimatrix is proud to collaborate with AWS to offer content providers a powerful choice for scaling and securing content as efficiently as possible”
Verimatrix, (Paris:VMX), the leader in powering the modern connected world with people-centered security, today announced its support for the AWS for Media & Entertainment initiative from Amazon Web Services (AWS)
https://aws.amazon.com/de/blogs/media/announcing-aws-for-media-and-entertainment/
– enabling content service providers that deploy on AWS to implement Verimatrix’s Multi-DRM Core solution
https://www.verimatrix.com/products/multi-drm/
to negotiate premium content rights with pre-approved and pre-integrated security for the distribution of licensed content.
Cloud-native and unencumbered by legacy development and deployment processes, Verimatrix Multi-DRM Core scales according to customer demand. It optimizes costs instead of purchasing pre-committed fixed capacity and ultimately results in faster launches for Direct-to-Consumer offerings.
“Verimatrix is proud to collaborate with AWS to offer content providers a powerful choice for scaling and securing content as efficiently as possible,” said Asaf Ashkenazi, Chief Operating Officer at Verimatrix. “Entertainment content is being consumed like never before – by larger and larger audiences and often simultaneously around the globe. Innovatively addressing the need to deploy quickly while also ensuring a stellar user experience, Verimatrix’s Multi-DRM Core solution brings proven scalability and reliability when it’s needed most.”
Today, content owners require a highly sophisticated, yet exceptionally rapid key-granting DRM solution as streaming workloads drastically increase. Verimatrix’s Multi-DRM solution efficiently secures AWS video processing and transcoding services, with integration typically taking less than 20 minutes to complete.
Uniquely built to address the needs of today’s video streaming providers that are rich with highly valuable exclusive content, Multi-DRM Core’s swift yet secure key-granting technology takes place at SaaS speed, handling a deluge of viewers across the vast variety of streaming platforms. Authentication requirements can easily be fine-tuned per country, meeting changing needs to satisfy content owner demands. Additionally, Multi-DRM Core extends the native security within AWS to offer deeper levels of DDoS and intrusion prevention.
By building on AWS, media & entertainment customers can accelerate innovation, achieve operational excellence and greater business agility, and quickly develop new paths to revenue with technologies tailored to media & entertainment organizations. AWS customers can turn to Verimatrix’s Multi-DRM Core to securely and quickly stream both broadcast and on-demand offerings when consumers request authorization to view content.

Verimatrix Announces Q1 2021 Revenue.
source
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210428005693/en/Verimatrix-Announces-Q1-2021-Revenue
April 28, 2021
- $20.1 million consolidated revenue, stable year-on-year, driven by new licenses and on-going positive momentum on subscription-based and SaaS business.
- Subscription revenue up 23% year-on-year, now representing 7% of total revenue.
- Annual Recurring Revenue1 of subscription up 56% year-on-year to $9.7 million.
- Strong license revenue (up 41% year-over-year) included a portion of delayed Q4 2020 orders.
- Company on track to achieve annual objectives.
Verimatrix (Paris:VMX) (Euronext Paris: VMX), is today reporting its consolidated (IFRS) revenue for the first quarter period ended March 31, 2021.
Commenting on the first quarter, Amedeo D’Angelo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Verimatrix, stated: “In the first quarter of 2021, Verimatrix delivered stable revenue despite headwinds in royalties in the context of Covid-19 and the short-term impact of the transition to our subscription business including for SaaS implementations. During the quarter, we saw good momentum in signing new licenses in general and were able to regain part of the new licenses that had been delayed in the fourth quarter of 2020 in particular. Although the context remains volatile, we see it improving for our customers, giving us the confidence that we are well on track to achieve our annual objectives. At the same time, we continue to expand our Cloud-based offerings, as examplified with the release of the Verimatrix Multi-DRM Core service earlier in April 2021.”
First quarter 2021 revenue
Verimatrix revenue was $20.1 million in the first quarter of 2021, stable overall year-on-year. During the quarter Verimatrix saw a steady flow of business for its conditional access solutions, in particular its VCAS broadcast security for on-premise implementation. The Company also commercially launched six customers on the new Multi-DRM Core cloud native solution which provides a customizable and scalable Digital Rights Management solution with unmatched onboarding speed and security for streaming OTT2 providers.
The Company also demonstrated further the multi-market reach of its Application Shielding product line in the quarter by winning new customers across the Mobile Payment, Media & Entertainment and Automotive markets.
Recurring revenues from royalties, maintenance and subscription fees were $11.4 million in the first quarter of 2021 (57% of total revenue). These recurring revenues are down year-over-year due to weak royalty collection from set-top boxes makers in the context of on-going Covid-19 supply-chain and component shortages and retail challenges in certain regions (Latin America notably). However, subscription revenue continued to increase, up 23% vs. Q1 2020, at $1.4million, a progression underpinned by a growing demand for Verimatrix technology.
The Company continued to experience good momentum on subscription-based and SaaS business by signing six new subscription and SaaS contracts during the quarter for a total contract value (TCV) of $2.8 million (up 100% year-over-year). The ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) of subscription increased by 56% year-over-year to $9.7 million as of March 31, 2021.
Revenue from software licenses and non-recurring services was $8.7 million in the first quarter of 2021, up 41% year-over-year. During the quarter, the Company was able to regain part of the licence orders which had been delayed in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Also, Verimatrix signed new term-license deals with existing customers converting them from a yearly maintenance-only relationship with perpetual license ownership to a multiyear license agreement delivering new versions of its conditional access and DRM software. The aim is to move them to a subscription-based contract at the renewal of their new licenses. This transition will ultimately increase ARR and continue to improve the Company’s revenue mix.
Other events of the period
On March 23, 2021, the Company reimbursed voluntarily by anticipation and without penalty $15 million of its unitranche debt financing using part of its own cash. Debt outstanding due 2026 is now $29 million. Verimatrix is working on refinancing it in the second quarter of 2021, with the objective of further lowering the interest expense. As of March 31, 2021, cash position was $26.1 million.
Business outlook and 2021 objectives
The Company remains focused on executing its strategy to support the streaming OTT market poised for significant growth, expanding its application shielding business, accelerating shielding product sales to media customers in particular, and gaining market share on video conditional access while supporting continued growth of the SaaS subscription business.
Verimatrix confirms its objectives to deliver a mid-single digit core business revenue growth in 2021 year over year and globally flat EBITDA compared with 20193. It also confirms its objective of double digit growth of recurring revenues, driven primarily by on-going growth of subscriptions, and pick-up of royalties in the coming quarters.

Supplementary non-IFRS financial information
Some financial measures and performance indicators used in the press release are presented on an adjusted basis. These indicators are not defined under IFRS, and do not constitute accounting elements used to measure the company’s financial performance. They should be considered as additional information, which cannot replace any other strictly accounting-based operating or financial performance measure, as presented in the company’s consolidated financial statements and their related notes. The company uses these indicators because it believes they are useful measures of its recurring operating performance and its operating cash flows. Although they are widely used by companies operating in the same industry around the world, these indicators are not necessarily directly comparable to those of other companies, which may have defined or calculated their indicators differently than the company, even though they use similar terms.
EBITDA is defined as adjusted operating income before depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses not related to business combinations. Adjusted operating income/(loss) is defined as operating income/(loss) before (i) the amortization of intangible assets related to business combinations, (ii) any potential goodwill impairment, (iii) share-based payment expense and (iv) non-recurring costs associated with restructuring and business combinations and divestiture undertaken by the company.
Verimatrix also uses subscription-economy metrics as they are useful for measuring business momentum and prediction of future growth.
Annual Recurring Revenue, or ARR, is the value of the recurring revenue of a business’s term subscriptions normalized for a single 12-month. It is calculated by dividing the Total Contract Value by the number of relative years of the contract; it corresponds to the revenue that will be recognized on average over a forward 12-month period. Total Contract Value, or TCV, is the total of all fees payable by the customer over the committed, fixed term of a customer contract.

Digital Rights Management Market - A follow up report
source
https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/digital-rights-management-market.html
Digital Rights Management Market (Component - Software, Services; Services - Consulting, Integration, Operation and Maintenance; Software Deployment - On-Premise, Cloud; End Use - Healthcare, BFSI, Government, Media & Entertainment, Retail) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2018 - 2026.
Snapshot
The global digital rights management (DRM) market is expected to expand at a significant pace during the forecast period, due to the rising demand of digital content security and management. Increasing digital piracy and thefts of digital content call for content security and management solutions. This factor is driving the global digital rights management market. Furthermore, the adoption of innovative revenue models and introduction of stringent policies and regulations by governments for protection of intellectual property (IP) from unfair usage and illegal competition are also driving the digital rights management market. However, currently, the DRM market is witnessing scarcity of unified DRM solutions. Thus, for complete security, end-users need to opt for multiple DRM solutions, resulting in high initial investments and high after-sales maintenance. Hence, scarcity of unified DRM systems is hindering the market. The market for digital rights management is projected to reach value of US$ 9,086.8 Mn by 2026, registering a CAGR of 15.3% during the forecast period.
Digital rights management (DRM) is a technology to protect ownership or copyright of the digital content by limiting what actions an authorized beneficiary may take in regard to the digital content. DRM enables the owner or publisher of the digital content to securely distribute precious content such as periodicals, enterprise-important data, photographs, books, educational material, and videos and to protect the digital content from thefts and piracy. Digital rights management is a software application or technology-enabled solution to control and monitor the unauthorized access of the digital content. DRM supports controlling, monitoring, organizing, and distribution of the digital content, with solutions deployed either on-premise or based on cloud or as a hybrid model. Industries that can benefit from digital rights management software are health care, BFSI, government, media & entertainment, and retail & consumers. Digital rights management is most commonly used in the media & entertainment industry. This is primarily due to high volume of the content generated, its wide online dispersion, and the growing number of media & entertainment companies, which increases the demand for enhanced control over images, videos, and audios from multiple sources.
However, with no typical DRM standard implemented, several DRM leaders have developed and promoted their own solutions. Presently, more than 20 applications are available in the market. If a customer wants to avail services of multiple companies, he/she has to purchase different versions of software and manage all of them separately. This is an inconvenience that could lead to DRM complexity and additional expenditure. Hence, requirement from consumers for a unified DRM solution, which can take care of all platforms of different vendors, is rising. However, lack of availability of such unified solutions is likely to hamper the market during the forecast period.
A key trend in the market is increasing demand for cloud-based solutions. This is because the demand for digital rights management solutions for a specific device and at a specific client location is raising the complexity for vendors. DRM systems need to serve a wide variety of devices popular among consumers. This leads to integrating, operating, and maintaining various DRM systems, resulting in increase in complexities and loss of revenues. However, cloud-based DRM allows the operator to outsource the DRM solution and offload various on-site operations to cloud. It also helps in freeing up valuable resources, which can be allocated to execute other significant tasks.
Cloud-based DRM is essential while tapping opportunities provided by video on demand (VoD), as the storage capacity offered on a mobile device is not sufficient to stream a high-quality video in real time. Cloud services is an efficient way to optimize DRM operations while availing a robust level of service. Transfer of license keys and several security functions from the client device to the server is simplified by using the cloud deployment model. This allows easier management, updates, and support for multiple DRMs, formats, protocols, and evolving business models. Due to these value additions, cloud-based solutions are likely to become popular. This is anticipated to provide substantial growth opportunities to the global DRM market in the near future.
The global digital rights management market has been segmented based on component, deployment model, and end-use. Based on component, the market has been segmented into software and services. The services segment has been sub-segmented into consulting, integration, and operation & maintenance. Based on end-use, the market has been divided into health care, BFSI, government, media & entertainment, retail & consumers, and others.
Among regions, North America is anticipated to witness rise in the consumption of digital media in the next few years. Increasing adoption of IPTV, OTT, and IoT technologies by consumers in the region is likely to boost the digital rights management market in North America in the next few years. The Asia Pacific digital rights management market is anticipated to expand at a higher rate during the forecast period, due to growing digitization in the region and rising demand to secure the digital content. Furthermore, the markets in Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South America are expected to expand significantly during the forecast period.
The digital rights management market is largely characterized by mergers and acquisitions and partnerships. For instance, as a part of its strategy, Vera Security, Inc. partnered with Canon Inc. in February 2018. This partnership would help enterprises to protect their business information and intellectual property from data leaks. Combining of solutions of both companies would allow customers to have access to a secure and trusted workflow platform. Some of the key players profiled in this report on the digital rights management market are Conax AS, Intertrust Technologies Corporation, Adobe Systems Incorporated, Oracle Corporation, Apple Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Locklizard Limited, Vaultize Technologies, Verimatrix, Inc., OpenText Corp., Seclore Technology, Vera Security, Inc., Vitrium Systems Inc., Dell EMC, Fasoo, Inc., Intralinks, Inc., and Nextlabs, Inc..

Verimatrix: improvement in operating profit.
source
https://www.boursedirect.fr/fr/actualites/categorie/resultats/verimatrix-amelioration-du-resultat-operationnel-boursier-e68c2610c6ae5d2b8d68a74e2faa244a0fbd95f0
03/10/2021 6:52 PM
Verimatrix's 2020 revenue was $ 94.9 million, down 11% from 2019 (on a pro forma basis).
Verimatrix's 2020 revenue was $ 94.9 million, down 11% from 2019 (on a pro forma basis). As a reminder, in 2019, revenue included the income of $ 3.9 million generated by the NFC patent license program managed by France Brevets (nil in 2020).
If we exclude the non-recurring revenue from the NFC program, revenue from the strategic software activity was down 8% over one year.
From a general point of view, the management of Verimatrix considers that the published turnover does not fully integrate the positive commercial dynamics, which is better reflected if we take into account both the published turnover and the increase in the amount of multi-year subscription contracts. The inherently volatile nature of the perpetual license activity further validates the strategy aimed at increasing recurring revenues through the deployment of the subscription offer and SaaS.
In 2020, the company made further progress in its strategy to deploy its subscription and SaaS offering. During the year, Verimatrix signed 56 contracts under this new model in total, while limiting the termination rate, multiplying CAAR by 2.4 year-on-year, to $ 9 million as at December 31, 2020, corresponding to a Total Contract Value (CTV) of $ 20 million.
Adjusted gross margin was $ 78.1 million in 2020 (82.3% of revenue), compared to $ 85.7 million in 2019 (on a pro forma basis). In 2019, excluding the contribution of the NFC patent license program (which typically generates a gross margin of 70%), the adjusted gross margin stood at 81.3% of revenue.
Adjusted operating income from continuing operations grew 3.5% year-on-year in 2020 to $ 19.7 million, reflecting the operational leverage effect as well as the impact of cost synergies and demonstrating the resilience of the business model of the Company.
EBITDA increased 2.4% to $ 24 million (from $ 23.4 million in 2019) while pro forma EBITDA margin increased 580 basis points year-on-year to 21.1 % of sales.
Strong improvement in operating income and net income from continuing operations (IFRS)
In 2020, the company significantly improved its consolidated operating income from continuing operations to $ 11.8 million in 2020 (12.4% of sales), compared to operating income of $ 3 million in 2019 (3, 1% of consolidated sales), in particular due to the decrease in non-recurring charges.
In 2020, adjusted operating income from continuing operations of $ 19.7 million was partially offset by two factors:
- A one-time charge relating to the acquisition costs of Verimatrix, Inc. for $ 1.3 million (fees and commissions and provision for retention bonuses) and the implementation of the cost synergies plan for $ 1.1 million (compared to $ 9.9 million in 2019);
- Various items with no impact on cash for $ 5.5 million, relating to the amortization resulting from the purchase price accounting of acquisitions made by the Company for $ 5.1 million and an expense related to payments based on shares up to $ 0.4 million.
The company recorded a financial loss of $ 10.3 million in 2020, relating to interest paid on financial debts (final bond loan due 2026, convertible bonds due 2022 and rental debts resulting from the application of IFRS16 ) for $ 5.7 million, as well as non-cash charges (including the fair value measurement of the convertible bond derivative).
In 2020, the company achieved a consolidated net loss (IFRS) from continuing operations of $ 1.4 million compared to a net loss of $ 5.9 million in 2019. This figure results from operating income from continuing operations of $ 11.8 million, a net finance charge of $ 10.3 million and an income tax expense of $ 2.8 million.
The company recorded a consolidated net loss (IFRS) of $ 10.4 million (vs. positive net income of $ 27.3 million in 2019), including a net loss of $ 1.4 million from continuing operations and a net loss of $ 9.1 million on discontinued operations.
Financial situation
As of December 31, 2020, the company posted consolidated cash of $ 48.6 million, compared to $ 46.5 million as of June 30, 2020 and $ 54 million as of December 31, 2019.
Net debt stood at $ 25.3 million. as of December 31, 2020 (and net cash of $ 6 million if we exclude convertible bonds and debt relating to finance leases recognized under IFRS 16), compared to net debt of $ 27 million as at June 30, 2020 and $ 19.6 million as at December 31, 2019.
Business outlook and objectives
In 2021, Verimatrix is ??focused on continuing to execute its strategy. The company intends in particular to support the OTT market, which is experiencing significant growth and to increase commercial opportunities for application protection solutions, in particular for Fintech, Healthtech, and the digital revolution in the industrial sector. Verimatrix also aims to increase business synergies related to cross-selling and additional sales (up-selling) and to gain market share in conditional access to video services, while continuing to grow the business model. 'subscriptions and SaaS solutions.
As a result, the company is targeting 2021 revenue from the strategic single-digit business growth in the mid-single digit range, with double-digit growth in recurring revenue. Investments intended to fuel the growth of SaaS solutions and subscriptions combined with the strength of the euro against the US dollar9 should weigh on results and the Company is therefore setting itself an objective of broadly flat EBITDA compared to 2019. These Objectives include an exchange rate of $ 1.235 to 1 euro and the absence of income from the non-strategic NFC patent licensing program, or from business or company acquisitions.
The revenue targets for 2021 should be read taking into account this gradual change in the composition and revenue profile of the company, which implies a lower recognized level of short-term revenue but with more sustainable subscription revenue at long term.

New York, Jan. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Digital Rights Management (DRM) Market - Growth, Trends, Forecasts (2020 - 2025)"
https://www.reportlinker.com/p05893154/?utm_source=GNW
- Globally, many laws have been created that criminalize the circumvention of DRM, communication about such circumvention, and the creation and distribution of tools used for such circumvention. Such laws are part of the United States’ Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and the European Union’s Information Society Directive. The French DADVSI is an example of a member state of the European Union (EU) implementing the directive.
- Companies are focusing on innovations, such as blockchain-based DRM systems, which can contribute in the rapid adoption of DRM. For instance, Sony announced its blockchain-based DRM, which is expected to be built on the already existing DRM system used by the company to track the distribution of its copyrighted products.
- The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has led to lockdowns in many countries, in order to contain the virus. This led to an increase in OTT viewership, as OTT players are re-vamping their content plans to meet the demand from every genre. People are watching the content using their mobile devices, which has been leading to an increase in the use of DRM and therefore the market is not expected to be negatively impacted by Covid-19.
Key Market Trends
Media & Entertainment Sector is Expected to hold a Significant Market Share
- With the growing consumption of digital content and expanding of subscriber base of the online content based publisher, the media & entertainment segment is expected to hold a significant market share during the forecast period.
- Digital content providers focus on reaching the widest audience possible, while also meeting the requirements of the major studios to protect their content. They plan to successfully deploy scalable and robust DRM strategies with a global footprint. In Nov 2019, BuyDRM announced that Rakuten Viki adopted the KeyOS MultiKey Service to secure the delivery of premium content on the Viki.com platform.
- Rakuten Viki will encrypt its premium streaming and download content with consumer-compatible and studio-approved multi-DRM, including Apple FairPlay, Microsoft PlayReady, and Google Widevine. Rakuten Viki’s users will receive DRM license keys to playback the content from the MultiKey Service platform.
- Consumers are increasingly using services, like Netflix and similar OTT (over-the-top) services worldwide, and are paying for content, proving that consumer behavior has shifted to accept a growing market around OTT. According to the American media measurement and analytics company, comScore, Netflix captures 74% of the total penetration of US OTT households, followed by Youtube with 54%, and Amazon by 33%.
- Players, such as AMD, partnered with Microsoft in Aug 2019 to add Microsoft’s PlayReady 3.0 DRM support for its RX 5700 series. This offers 4K protected content, such as Netflix content, to the users of AMD RX 5700.
Asia-Pacific is Expected to be the Fastest Growing Region
- The tremendous growth of smartphones and other mobile devices in the region, since 2010, has fueled the demand for digital media accessibility in mobile devices. As per Cisco, the number of smartphone users in the region is almost half the number of global smartphone users, which crossed the mark of 3 billion in 2018.
- The increasing adoption of IPTV, OTT, and IoT technologies are rising at a tremendous rate among consumers across the region. Also, Asia-Pacific consists of a significant amount of customer base as compared to the other regions, which is helping to drive the demand for the application of DRM market during the forecast period.
- In February 2020, Mola.tv, Indonesia’s OTT service provider, secured its services using the Verimatrix Multi-DRM solution, which will protect the live and VOD content streamed by Mola.tv with optimized digital rights management (DRM) capabilities.
- Moreover, the rise in the presence of startup companies, offering innovative solutions is anticipated to drive the growth of the market across the region.

Dec 22, 2020 - Streaming Video Alliance Announces New Technical Specifications From the Open Caching Working Group and Privacy and Protection Working Group
source
http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/4923304
The Streaming Video Alliance (the Alliance),
https://www.streamingvideoalliance.org/
a global technical association developing solutions to address critical technical challenges in delivering a high-quality video experience at scale, today announced that two technical specification documents have recently been approved and are immediately available to the public. The Open Caching Performance Measurement Specification document, produced by the Open Caching Working Group, outlines measurement metrics for open caching and key performance indicators related to quality of service metrics. The Securing Streaming Video Specification,
https://www.streamingvideoalliance.org/document/securing-streaming-video/
produced by the Privacy and Protection Working Group, examines how to optimally protect and secure streaming video for both content providers and distributors to ensure content is being used as intended by the designated parties.
“We’ve had a very productive year developing and introducing new public specifications, one of the Alliance’s top priorities. I want to personally recognize and thank our Working Group members for their commitment to bringing their respective projects full circle,” said Jason Thibeault, Executive Director at the Alliance. “While this has been a challenging year in many respects, it has also accelerated innovation in the streaming industry and encouraged new breakthroughs on a shorter runway.”
Technical Specifications Published by the Alliance in 2020
Open Caching Relayed Token Authentication
This document was produced by the Open Caching Working Group and describes the functional specification of the open-caching relayed-token-authentication mechanism. The focus is on generically supporting URI signing using this method. There are additional applications, like user Cookies, which are mentioned in this document without getting into the specifics. While multiple different CDNs, as well as CDNi, support Tokenization in alternative methods, the goal of this implementation is to support all of these different formats via the relay authentication mechanism.

Best Practices for End-To-End Workflow Monitoring
As the video streaming industry continues to mature, QoE expectations continue to rise in importance both as a value proposition to the consumer as well as a differentiator between competing video streaming services. Yet, consistent, systematic, standardized, objectively measured, and business-rules-driven QoE assurance continues to be an elusive goal. The Measurement/QoE Working Group produced this document, which outlines factors that impact consumer QoE, sheds light on some of the underlying challenges to diagnosing QoE impact, and provides a set of best practices for end-to-end QoE monitoring in video streaming workflows. To learn more and download the document:
https://www.streamingvideoalliance.org/document/best-practices-for-end-to-end-workflow-monitoring/
Open Caching Performance Measurement Specification
The Open Caching Working Group produced this document, which outlines measurement metrics for open caching. The document's focus is to outline key performance indicators related to quality of service metrics at the open cache nodes that are responsible for delivering the streaming content. To learn more and download the document:
https://www.streamingvideoalliance.org/document/open-caching-performance-measurement-specification/
Securing Streaming Video Specification
The ability to prevent piracy, take down illegal content, and act against illegal sources are key objectives of content protection. Meeting these objectives requires the use of a variety of technologies including watermarking, Digital Rights Management (DRM), fingerprinting, and cryptography. The Privacy and Protection Working Group developed this document, which examines and discusses the streaming video system to provide best practices for protecting and securing streaming video content for both content providers and distributors to ensure content is being used as intended by the right parties.

Dec 14, 2020 - Verimatrix Chief Revenue Officer to Speak on Blending Traditional Pay TV with OTT at Park Associates’ Future of Video Event.
source
http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/4913932
Verimatrix, (Paris:VMX) (Euronext Paris: VMX), the leader in powering the modern connected world with people-centered security, today announced that Lu Bolden, Chief Revenue Officer is scheduled to participate in a panel discussion during Park Associates’ Future of Video: OTT, Pay TV and Digital Media virtual event today at 3:45 p.m. Central Time.
https://www.parksassociates.com/events/future-of-video
Titled, “vMVPDs: Blending Traditional Pay TV with OTT,” the panel examines the successes and challenges associated with Virtual Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (vMVPDs), over-the-top (OTT) services that provide viewers with content from broadcast and cable networks as well as streaming providers. The following speakers will join Bolden to discuss how vMVPDs and over-the-top pay-TV services from traditional providers are evolving to better meet the needs of the market:
Megan Dover, Executive Director of Video and Entertainment Product Management and Development, Cox Communications
Ben Grad, Head of Content Strategy & Acquisition, fuboTV
Kirstin Seitz, Head of Marketing Strategy and Operations, Philo
Kristen Hanich, Moderator and Senior Analyst, Parks Associates
Parks Associates research finds that app-based OTT services from pay-TV providers are accounting for an increasing percentage of the overall pay-TV space. As per Parks Associates’ most recent survey data, over 18% of pay-TV subscribers primarily receive their live, linear pay-TV channels over-the-top. These subscribers report higher levels of satisfaction than traditional pay-TV subscribers, with net promotor scores – a measure of how likely a subscriber is to recommend a service – over eight times higher for vMVPDs and other app-based pay-TV services than for traditional pay-TV.
“The return of live sports has helped drive new subscriptions for pay-TV, and for vMVPDs in particular. We also saw an increase in NPS in the third quarter, indicating that customer satisfaction is up. This underscores the importance in connecting consumers with the high-quality, secure content they want,” said Kristen Hanich, Senior Analyst, Parks Associates. “Verimatrix brings valuable expertise on the strategies and challenges for securing content delivery across devices to our interactive discussions at Future of Video.”
Future of Video:
OTT, Pay TV, and Digital Media brings together industry leaders to share insights on new trends in the video and connected entertainment industries, with insights on consumer behaviors and preferences and the challenges for the video industry in meeting these expectations. It features in-depth consumer and industry research on OTT services, the value of content, and best strategies for building successful video services for today’s connected consumers.
Verimatrix is honored to serve as a silver sponsor of the three-day event. For registration information, visit https://www.parksassociates.com/events/future-of-video.
