Vienna, Virginia and Montpellier, France—February 14, 2007—Genesys Conferencing (Euronext Eurolist C: FR0004270270) (NASDAQ: GNSY), a global multimedia collaboration service leader, today reports volume and revenue (unaudited) for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Volume Growth
· Q4 2006 total volume of 604.7 million minutes, up 21.4% from Q4 2005
· 2006 total volume of 2.3 billion minutes, up 15.8% compared to 2005
Total volume increased by 311.3 million minutes in 2006 compared to 2005. Over one-third of this incremental minute growth was generated in the fourth quarter of 2006 despite year-end seasonality, reflecting a higher contribution from customers won in 2006. Genesys Meeting Center volume for the fourth quarter of 2006 recorded its highest level of quarter-over-quarter minute growth for the year increasing 23.3% to 572.0 million minutes.
Revenue(1) In-Line with Guidance
· Q4 2006 revenue of 35.2 million euros compared to 35.5 million euros in Q4 2005
· 2006 revenue of 141.6 million euros compared to 141.9 million euros in 2005
· In U.S. dollars(1), 2006 revenue was 177.8 million dollars compared to 176.6 million dollars in 2005
2006 total revenue was stable compared to 2005 despite the impact of the previously announced major customer loss at the end of 2005, the continuation of price erosion in the competitive marketplace for large enterprise customers and the expected decline in legacy attended services. Total 2006 revenue of 141.6 million euros was in line with previously issued guidance of 140 million euros to 144 million euros.
Revenue from Genesys Meeting Center automated services was up 1.1% in the fourth quarter of 2006 and was up 1.4% for the full year 2006. Genesys Meeting Center revenue for the fourth quarter of 2006 was 28.1 million euros and 111.5 million euros for the full year 2006, accounting for nearly 80% of total 2006 revenue.
(1) Please refer to the paragraph “Impact of Exchange Rates” below for information regarding the calculation of U.S.
dollar amounts.
Impact of Exchange Rates
The company serves large enterprises on a worldwide basis. As a result, it has extensive international operations and, thus, significant exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, in particular those of the U.S. dollar. In 2006, and continuing through the first quarter of 2007, the U.S. dollar has fluctuated compared to the euro. As a result, the comparability of the company’s revenues and results of operations expressed in euros were affected.
