The Group continues to generate cash and the Board is constantly reviewing opportunities to utilise its robust balance sheet."

Chairman and CEO's Statement

Pilat Media Global plc is pleased to announce its results for the nine months and three months ended 30 September 2013.

Revenues in both Q3 and the nine months to 30 September 2013 grew by 18.4% compared with the equivalent periods last year. The five new contracts that have been signed so far this year have started to contribute to revenues, but it is the increasing demand from, and new projects commissioned by the nearly sixty existing clients that generated the vast majority of revenues in the year to date. Revenues from the new contracts are anticipated to increase in the last quarter of this year and even more in 2014 as the work on the new projects intensifies and in some cases agreements for scope enlargements and accordingly incremental fees are signed.

The Company is focused on progressing and delivering the many projects its older and new clients have commissioned and accordingly on building up the capacity to service the growing demand for its software and services. The Board anticipates that the increased level of activity will continue well into next year so in order to be able to deliver the existing backlog as well as also to accommodate additional new contracts Pilat Media hopes to win, the Company is scaling up and adding delivery staff such as business analysts, software engineers and quality testers. This has an adverse effect on gross margins in the short term until the new recruits become fully trained and productive. The Board expects margins will improve in Q4.

A sixth new contract has just been signed, for the provision of our new IBMS-Express product designed for quick, lower cost but high margin deployment of a cut-down version of IBMS "out-of-the-box", under a SaaS (Software As A Service) recurring revenue model. This is the Company's second Express contract which we hope will pave the way for further expansion into the lower end of the market so far not serviced by the Company.

Results

Q3 revenues of GBP6.29 million (Q3 2012: GBP5.31 million) were 18.4% higher than the equivalent quarter in 2012. These higher revenues reflect increased activity across the Group's entire existing client base, a full quarter's revenue for the new implementation at Seven West Media in Australia and the start of revenues from the new contracts at Digiturk in Turkey, HBO Latin America, VTR in Chile and Starz in the US. Maintenance revenues, as in previous quarters this year continued the trend and increased by 15.6% to GBP1.57 million (Q3 2012: GBP1.35 million) as more clients progressed from implementation to maintenance mode during 2012 and the first few months of 2013. Licence revenues in Q3 2013 increased by 35% to GBP0.77 million (Q3 2012: GBP0.57 million), mostly resulting from the progression of the large ongoing implementation projects (old and new) where the license fee component is recognised incrementally based on progress but also from some up-selling of additional product licences.

Revenues from professional services (customisation, integration, training and consulting fees) also grew, by 16.4% to GBP3.95 million (Q3 2012: GBP3.40 million), following the pattern from previous quarters. Only 18% of these Q3 revenues (up from 13% in Q2) originates from the new contracts, which indicates an extended use of the Group's products within the install base and increased demand from the established clients.

Gross profit in Q3 was GBP2.86 million (Q3 2012: GBP2.60 million), which represents a margin of 45.4% compared to 49.0% in the equivalent period last year and 52.4% in 2012. This fall in gross margin percentage is a result of the newly recruited staff being trained on the job and taking some time to become fully productive. The gross profit margin for the nine months to 30 September 2013 is higher at 48.8% then the margin for the equivalent period last year (2012: 47.9%) and the Board expects the margin to improve in the final quarter as the new staff become fully trained and productive and because the Board anticipates further increase in license fees within the revenue mix.

Research and Development ("R&D") slowed down somewhat in Q3 as more resources were allocated to customer specific work to help in meeting the demand. The R&D expenditure in Q3 was GBP1.0 million (Q3 2012: GBP1.0 million), lower than in the previous quarter (Q2 2013: GBP1.2 million).

Sales and marketing costs in Q3 2013 were higher at GBP0.43 million (Q3 2012: GBP0.37 million) as the Company increased its sales resources focused on its OTT software and the increased range of modules and paid the sales commissions due on the new contract wins.

General and administrative costs for the quarter at GBP1.05 million (Q3: 2012 GBP1.06 million) and for the nine months to 30 September 2013 at GBP3.15 million (2012 GBP3.13 million) are broadly in-line with the costs for the equivalent periods last year.

The strengthening of sterling against the major currencies in which the Company is paid by clients caused an exchange rate loss in the quarter. The impact of the sterling strength was mitigated by the loans that the Company put in place (in US and Canadian Dollars) which moderated the fluctuations caused by exchange rate movements in these two currencies. Therefore there was a reduced requirement for large forward contract hedges and consequently the fair value adjustments and foreign exchange movements on derivative financial instruments for the first nine months of 2013 was GBP116,000 (Nine months to 30 September 2012: GBP146,000) were was lower from those of previous years.

As a result of the higher revenues in the quarter and despite the increased staff costs in Q3 2013 there was a small operating profit of GBP4,000 (after amortisation of intangible assets) compared to a loss of GBP176,000 in Q3 2012. The fair value gain on forward contracts of GBP40,000 and the interest income of GBP15,000 means that there is a higher profit before tax of GBP43,000 compared to a loss of GBP136,000 in Q3 2012.

With the tax charge at a similar level to the full year charge, the profit after tax for the nine months to 30 September 2013 is GBP210,000 (nine months to 30 September 2012: GBP24,000) and for the quarter is GBP32,000 (Q3 2012: loss of GBP20,000).

Statement of Financial Position

The Group has continued its development of the new OTT product under the OTTilus brand and GBP156,000 of software development costs has been capitalised as an intangible asset in the quarter. The cumulative investment in OTTilus so far has been GBP0.82 million and it is currently consuming cash in the order of GBP60,000 a month. Nevertheless, Intangible Assets continued to decrease in Q3 2013 by GBP110,000 net of the new capitalisation (Q3 2012: GBP266,000) due to amortisation of older assets exceeding the newly capitalised investment.

Trade and other payables are at GBP3.44 million and are at a higher level than Q3 2012 (GBP2.65 million) as some amounts have been invoiced on signing of the new contracts in advance of the revenue being recognised.

Cash flow

Cash generation continues to remain strong with cash balances increasing to GBP16.76 million at the end of Q3 from GBP14.92 million at the end of 2012 despite the fact that approximately GBP0.57 million has been used for OTTilus. The foreign currency loan balance has decreased to GBP4.1 million from GBP4.2 million meaning net cash has increased to GBP12.6 million at the end of Q3 2013 from GBP12.2 million at the end of the previous quarter.

Outlook

After five key prospects have been converted into contracts earlier in the year and a sixth contract just signed, for IBMS-Express, the sales pipeline still includes additional opportunities that may be converted in the coming weeks and months and further enhance the Company's healthy backlog.

The contribution of the new contracts will increase in Q4 and even more so in 2014. Accordingly the Board expects that Q4 will be Pilat Media's strongest quarter ever, when most of the annual profits will be generated, as in previous years. This sets the Company on track to achieving significant year-on-year growth by the end of 2013 in all key parameters; annual revenues, operating profit, net profit and cash.

In parallel the Board continues to examine opportunities for suitable investment of its healthy cash reserves, in addition to OTTilus.

4. Segmental Analysis

IFRS 8 - Operating Segments requires the Group to disclose segmental information based on financial data used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) who is responsible for making financial decisions. The CODM is considered to be the Company's Senior Managers and Executive Directors.

The Directors consider there to be only one segment under IFRS 8 based on the information reviewed by the CODM.

The Group's revenue and profit/(loss) before tax were all derived from its principal activity. Sales and profit from operations were made in the following geographical markets:

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO PILAT MEDIA GLOBAL PLC

Introduction

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the three months and nine months ended 30 September 2013 which comprises the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related explanatory notes. We have read the other information contained in the interim financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "'Review of Interim Financial Information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to them in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' Responsibilities

The interim financial report, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing and presenting the interim financial report in accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee pronouncements as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the three and nine months ended 30 September 2013 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union, and the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.
