Cheseaux, August 29, 2008 – The Kudelski Group (SWX: KUD.VX), a global leader in digital security covering a wide range of applications requiring access control and rights management today announced marginally increasing sales and an operating loss for its first half year ended June 30, 2008. First half 2008 results were in line with expectations, as the transition to the service model is negatively impacting top line growth and profitability. At the end of June, the Group has delivered about 7 million swap cards in service mode. However, the first half year statements only include immaterial revenues for these swap cards.

Total revenues and other operating income came in at CHF 424.2 million, which is slightly up compared to the first half 2007. The compounded annual growth rate for the first half year results in the period 2004 to 2008 was 11.4%. The 15% decline of the USD exchange rate against the CHF compared to first half 2007 had a negative impact on sales, operating margin and net income. At a constant first half 2007 exchange rate, total sales have increased by CHF 45.5 million, corresponding to 10.8% growth. The negative CHF 43.7 million exchange rate impact reduced reported growth to CHF 1.8 million.

The shift in the revenue mix from higher margin Digital TV to lower margin Public Access sales and the impact of the USD weakness were only partially offset by the material cost reduction achieved through purchasing optimization initiatives. Personnel and other operating expenses increased by CHF 32.0 million in the first half 2008 to CHF 294.0 million. Most of this increase took place in the second half 2007. In the first half 2008, net of the additional personnel costs from newly acquired companies and of the one-off costs related to smart card swap-outs, total personnel and other operating costs compared to the second half of last year actually decreased by CHF 6.8 million.

This led to an operating loss of CHF 18.5 million and a net loss of CHF 39.8 million. The Group forecasts to deliver a profitable second half, while the bulk of the economic benefit from the migration of cards to the service model is expected to materialize starting in 2009.

The Digital TV segment generated CHF 268.6 million sales, translating in a 4.2% decrease compared to the first half 2007. At constant rates it however increased by 5.4%. In the first half 2008, Nagravision expanded its global reach with 92.3 million active devices for conditional access.

Sales at constant rates in Europe increased by 3.1%. New customers such as Portugal Telecom, as well as established customers such as Virgin Media and UPC were among the growth contributors. While sales from digital terrestrial operators and Eastern European customers more than doubled in 2007, in the first half 2008, they went through a consolidation phase.

The impact of the USD exchange rate decline was particularly strong in the Americas and in Asia. In the Americas, growth at constant rates was at 4.5%, hence sales reported in CHF were lower than in the first half 2007. First half EchoStar volumes decreased due to the upcoming swap out, while other American customers more than compensated this revenue decline, in particular with stronger smart card sales. Asia continued to develop particularly well growing by 13.9% at fixed rates, again with strong smart card sales.

Besides renewing its contract with Premiere in Germany, several additional contracts were signed in the first half of the year.

Germany's largest cable based television provider, Kabel Deutschland (KDG), selected Nagravision's latest CAS version to protect the content rights and revenues for its forthcoming commercial deployments. The companies entered in a new long term agreement to support KDG's business model and the expected business growth. KDG will deploy a new generation of smart cards in autumn 2008.
CANAL+ Group is adopting the newest version of Nagravision's CAS and has completed the replacement of smart cards for more than 3 million subscribers. Nagra+ has also collaborated with Canal+ Group for the commercial launch of LA CLE CANAL+, the world’s first digital terrestrial pay-television device in high-definition integrated in a USB key that can be used anywhere, on personal computers. LA CLE CANAL+ allows subscribers to access CANAL+' premium offering as well as 18 DTT free-to-air channels and local channels. In particular, Nagra+ has developed the USB device as well as the content protection solution, and was in charge of for the integration of the solution on PC.
Net Serviços de Comunicação S.A., the largest cable company in Brazil expanded its Nagravision CAS to protect the pay TV services added by its acquisition of Vivax. Two new regional headends and 10 additional cities will bring the number of pay TV subscribers accessing content through Nagravision's CAS to over 2 million.
Quative end-to-end interactive turnkey solutions were selected by B.NET Croatia for its broadband cable system. The integrated solution features the Quative Service Delivery Platform and Lysis Content Management System. As the end-to-end systems integrator, Quative is combining industry leading systems from Harmonic and Technotrend to create a comprehensive and seamless on-demand cable and IPTV solution.
Dish Network is the first pay TV operator worldwide offering all standard and high definition programs in the MPEG4 market. The Dish signal secured by Nagravision technology is available to new customers in designated markets in the eastern half of the US, who sign up for a Dish HD package.
Using the Nagravision CAS to protect its pay TV content and revenues and Lysis Traffic and scheduling system, StarHub Digital Cable of Singapore has launched its suite of true on-demand services called Demand TV. With Video-On-Demand, StarHub Digital Cable customers can make one-off purchases of content and view the selected content whenever and as many times as they wish, over a specific time period.

New businesses
In this first half 2008, sales in new business areas were roughly in line with the first half 2007. Having more than doubled in 2007, Digital Terrestrial maintained the revenue base achieved last year. In the PCMCIA market, first half sales were under the revenue base of the first half 2007, yet the order book is significantly stronger. Both the IPTV and the mobile TV markets continued to generate new contracts however, still not translating into a material revenue base. Overall, net contribution from new business areas in the first half was still in the negative high single digit million range.

China Satellite Mobile Broadcast Limited (CSM), a company held under Wireless Bureau of China's State Administration of Radio, Film, and TV (SARFT), selected Nagravision as the sole conditional access provider for a nationwide mass-market Mobile TV service. The services were launched in time for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, in major province capitals and in the six Olym
