Philippe Vallee, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Gemalto's performance in 2016 demonstrates the strength of its business model and ability to adapt in a very adverse Mobile environment. The Payment activity grew slightly, Machine-to-Machine and Enterprise posted double-digit growth rates, and Government Programs recorded another strong performance. The structural transformation of the Company continued with Platforms & Services surpassing its annual revenue objective of EUR 1 billion a year ahead of the current multi-year development plan. Optimization efforts paid off in the Mobile and Payment & Identity segments resulting in the Company's gross margin exceeding 40% for the first time in its history and leading to an improvement in both profitability and cash generation. In 2017, Gemalto will focus its efforts on growing sales through an increase in cross-selling between businesses. Gemalto is currently working on its new multi-year development plan that will be presented towards the end of the year."
