Leuven, Belgium – March 4, 2010 – Option N.V. (EURONEXT Brussels: OPTI; OTC: OPNVY), the wireless technology company, today announced its results for the full fiscal year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009. The financial information reported in this release is presented in Euros and has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS as adopted by the European Union. The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in the attached financial statements are the same as those followed in the most recent annual financial statements.

Capital Increase – Cost Reduction Plan

  • On the 9th of December 2009, the Board of Directors decided in the framework of the authorized capital to increase the capital of the Company with an amount of up to EUR 20,212,155.04 through the issuance of maximum 41,249,296 new shares. At the close of the subscription period the Company announced that the full amount of 20,212,155.04 was subscribed for.
  • During the fourth quarter the Company started to implement the cost reduction plan, announced during the release of the third quarter 2009 results. This resulted in closing down the R&D facility at Kamp-Lintfort as well as headcount reductions across all sites. Related to this restructuring plan the Company took EUR 7.6 million of one-off restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of 2009.

 

Financial Highlights of the fourth quarter 2009

  • Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2009 were EUR 19.4 million compared with EUR 70.2 million realized in the fourth quarter of 2008. Revenues for the quarter were originally in line with expectations above EUR 20 million, however in January, one customer that had purchased EUR 913k of goods in the quarter ran into financial difficulty and the decision was made to accept the units back into inventory rather than risk non-payment. These revenues had to be removed from the final result.
  • Gross margin for the fourth quarter 2009 was -26.3% on total revenues, compared with a gross margin of 24.1% for Q4 2008. During the fourth quarter 2009 the gross margin was impacted by restructuring charges of EUR 2.0 million and additional write-offs on inventories for a total amount of EUR 6.9 million. Excluding the aforementioned exceptional items, gross margin for the fourth quarter 2009 would have been 19.6%.
  • Compared to Q4 2008, total operating expenses decreased by EUR 13.9 million from EUR 35.9 million to EUR 22 million. The restructuring charges taken in the fourth quarter of 2009 and attributable to the operating expenses are EUR 5.6 million. Additionally, during the quarter the Group reviewed the existing capitalized R&D projects which resulted in an additional adjustment of EUR 2.0 million.
  • The quarterly EBIT amounted to EUR –27.2 million compared with EUR –19 million during the corresponding period in 2008. As previously mentioned the EBIT has been impacted by exceptional items, being restructuring charges (EUR 7.6 million in total), inventory write offs (EUR 6.9 million) and impairments on capitalized R&D projects (EUR 2.0 million).
  • Net result for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 amounted to EUR –27.9 million, or EUR –0.66 per basic share. This compares with a net result of EUR –13.3 million, or EUR –0.32 per basic share in the fourth quarter of 2008. The Q4 2009 net result was negatively impacted by a financial result of EUR –1.1 million, mainly the result of realized losses on the execution of expired USD hedging contracts and interest expenses.
  • As of the third quarter 2009 the Group stopped accounting for positive tax results and has determined that it is prudent to exclude a further increase of the deferred tax asset.
  • The Group’s balance sheet includes EUR 30.7 million in cash, including EUR 8.3 million which has been drawn from the existing credit lines and EUR 20.2 million received as a result of the successful capital increase. The accounts payable and receivable positions decreased compared to year end 2008 as well as the inventory levels, which decreased substantially from EUR 32.8 million to EUR 17.3 million.

 

Financial Highlights of the full fiscal year result 2009

  • Total revenues for the full year 2009 were EUR 147.1 million, a decrease of 45.1% compared with EUR 268.1 million revenues realized during the comparable period in 2008.
  • Gross margin year to date was EUR 27.2 million compared with EUR 74.6 million in 2008. Gross margin year to date in 2009 was 18.5%, compared with a gross margin of 27.8% in 2008. Excluding the year to date restructuring charge of EUR 2.4 million in 2009, the gross margin would have been 20.1%.
  • EBIT decreased to EUR –54.4 million or –36.9% on total revenues during the full year 2009, including the year to date restructuring charge of EUR 9.3 million, compared with and EBIT of EUR –29.3 million in 2008.
  • Net result decreased to EUR –53.7 million, or EUR –1.27 per basic share. This compares with a net result of EUR –19 million, or EUR –0.46 per basic share in 2008. The 2009 net result was positively impacted by taxes of EUR 7.3 million and negatively impacted by a finance result of EUR –6.7 million.

Eerste LaptopConnect-toestel met ingebouwde GPS van AT&T

pkmxhee7
LEUVEN, België – 5 maart 2010 – Samenvallend met AT&T’s aankondiging van gisterenmiddag maakt Option (EURONEXT Brussels: OPTI; OTC: OPNVY), de specialist op het vlak van draadloze communicatie, vandaag bekend dat het voor AT&T de eerste mobiele breedbandmodem ooit met ingebouwde GPS aan het leveren is. De AT&T USBConnect Velocity is de eerste USB-modem voor mobiel breedband die vandaag door AT&T wordt aangeboden en die mobiele gebruikers voortaan 3 geweldige functies in één toestel biedt: een ingebouwde GPS, een micro-SD voor opslag tot 32 GB en een mobiele breedbandtoegang tot het netwerk van AT&T.

Geïntegreerde aGPS en een Option GPS controlepaneel
De ingebouwde aGPS-functies zetten de deur open voor locatiegebaseerde toepassingen zoal Microsoft™ Streets & Trips en Google Earth. Daarnaast levert Option een gratis software-applicatie, het Option GPS controlepaneel, dat klanten helpt om hun GPS-verbindingen te beheren en dat gebruikers de mogelijkheid biedt om hun locatie te tonen via Yahoo Maps of resultaten en routes van YellowPages.com en Bing.com weer te geven. Het gratis controlepaneel kan gedownload worden via option.com/gps.

Hoge snelheid, wereldwijde connectiviteit
De USBConnect Velocity van AT&T biedt toegang tot het snelste Amerikaanse 3G-netwerk, dat meer dan 320 grote steden in de VS dekt. En dat aan 3G-snelheden, terwijl er ook eenvoudig naar meer dan 20.000 Wi-Fi hotspots van AT&T kan worden overgeschakeld mits een DataConnect plan en een laptop met Wi-Fi. En wie naar het buitenland trekt, hoeft zich geen zorgen te maken. Velocity biedt wereldwijde compatibiliteit met quad band 3G- en 2G-ondersteuning.

Slim design, maximale opslagcapaciteit
Dit gestroomlijnde product met zwarte grip biedt de eenvoud en praktische voordelen van één enkel toestel. De USB-poort wordt beschermd via de schuiffunctie, zodat je het dopje niet meer kunt verliezen. Met Velocity kun je al je toepassingen en gegevens ook overal meenemen, want het toestel is immers uitgerust met een micro-SD sleuf die de mogelijkheid biedt om tot 32 GB op te slaan.

Gebruiksvriendelijk en makkelijk mee te nemen
Dankzij de plug-n-play-configuratie en een online handleiding ben je in een handomdraai online. De Velocity bevat alle nodige software voor Microsoft Windows (XP/Vista/7) of Mac OS X (10.4 en hoger). Een installatie-cd is dus niet nodig. En met zijn 28 g is deze USB-modem echt wel de ideale reisgezel.

Jan Callewaert, CEO bij Option, licht toe: “De USBConnect Velocity van AT&T biedt zowel consumenten als professionele gebruikers ongelooflijk veel mobiliteit. De lichtgewicht Velocity is gebruiksvriendelijk en stijlvol en gebruikt de beste draadloze snelheden die beschikbaar zijn. De ingebouwde GPS-functie komt erg gelegen, op een moment dat meer en meer websites hun diensten willen optimaliseren via locatiegebaseerde technologieën. Mobiele gebruikers willen steeds meer waar voor hun geld als het gaat om nieuwe mobiele toestellen. En dat is net wat je krijgt met deze USB-modem, in combinatie met AT&T’s dataplannen. Het is steeds een plezier om met AT&T te mogen samenwerken aan dergelijke uitstekende productdesigns.”

LEUVEN, Belgium, March 1 2010 – Option (EURONEXT Brussels: OPTI; OTC: OPNVY), the wireless technology company, and Kobil Systems GmbH, a market-leading trendsetter of mobile IT solutions in the area of digital identities, today announced that they collaborate the development and combined selling of a new strategic security product, the mIDentity 3G. The mIDentity 3G will be unique in combining wireless broadband 3G technology and digital security of data and identities while opening up a market for new services and applications. The secured 3G solution, a breakthrough in mobile security, will already become available later this year and will be commercialized via Option’s and Kobil’s commercial channels.

The European companies Option and Kobil are engaged in a strategic cooperation. Kobil’s mIDentity currently is a smartcard-reader with encrypted storage in a USB-product format ensuring a highly secure and simple transaction experience whilst preventing third-party access. Thus, the hardware characteristics of mIDentity 3G provides global mobility and permanent security for your digital identity. Option will not only provide its expertise in terms of 3G connectivity but also adds software to this solution. The products of both companies support Zero Footprint meaning that they operate without installation. This technology has already been patented. Combined the result will be a device where the user simply inserts the mIDentity 3G into the USB port of any Windows, Mac or Linux computer and, for example, have immediate access to an online banking account or corporate Intranet without having to install any software or drivers. mIDentity 3G will offer proven and innovative functions such as Zero-Footprint, Zero-CD, Mobile Office, Mobile Secure Cloud in the pocket, Secure Communication, Centralized Controlled Use, Infinite Storage, Data Loss Prevention and Data Flow Control.

Jan Callewaert, CEO at Option said: “This is a truly unique innovation undertaken by two European companies. We’re very happy to be working with Kobil on the development of this solution which will prove to be vital for securing our digital identity. This cooperation is also further proof of Option’s strategy to focus on bringing wireless broadband solution offerings, including software, high-value services and hardware.”

“We are proud to join the development of a new and absolutely fantastic strategic security product, the mIDentity 3G, in partnership with Option. The development of this product is only possible because of the know-how of both technology companies. Both are trendsetters and innovators which complement each other perfectly. We are certain that in the future the demand for mIDentity 3G will be significant”, said Ismet Koyun, CEO of KOBIL.

Kobil Systems will be present at the RSA Conference USA 2010 (1- 5 March, Moscone Center – San Francisco) and at CeBIT (2 – 6 March, Hannover – Germany), Hall 11, Booth D63.
