Commenting on the half year 2011-2012 results, Michel de Rosen, CEO of Eutelsat Communications, said: ?"We delivered solid results in the First Half with 4.6% revenue growth and an industry-leading EBITDA margin of over 79%. ?Following the successful entry into service of two new satellites, that have anchored our market position in the Middle East,?Africa,?Central Europe?and the Indian Ocean?Islands,?our?order backlog increased almost 10% to ?5.3 billion, giving excellent long term visibility and underscoring the overall resilience of our business. In addition to these operational achievements, the Group?successfully refinanced a significant part of its debt, extending its average maturity and further diversifying funding sources.
With new in-orbit resources recently entered into service, the Group remains on track to achieve annual revenues of over ? ?1,235 million for the current fiscal year. This objective is however more challenging in view of the current competitive environment in some regions and a partial delay in the roll-out of KA-SAT services. The EBITDA target of over ?955 million for the current year is confirmed. In addition, the Group reaffirms its medium term objectives for the three year period from July 2011 to June 2014."
REVENUE GROWTH CONTINUES
Note:??Unless otherwise stated, all growth indicators or comparisons are made against the previous half year ended December 31, 2010. The share of each application as a percentage of total revenues is calculated excluding "other revenues" and "non-recurring revenues".
Revenues by business application??(in millions of euros)
Change (in EUR Six months ended December 31 2010 2011 million) (in %) Video Applications 392.1 403.3 +11.3 +2.9% Data & Value Added Services 116.9 117.8 +1.0 +0.8% Data Services 93.1 95.2 +2.1 +2.2% Value Added Services 23.8 22.7 -1.1 -4.7% Multi-usage 57.3 74.4 +17.1 +29.9% Other revenues 6.9 3.3 -3.6 -52.3% Sub-total 573.2 598.9 +25.8 +4.5% Non-recurring revenues 2.7 3.5 +0.8 +30.6% Total 575.9 602.4 +26.6 +4.6%
First half 2011-2012 revenues increased by 4.6%. Excluding non-recurring revenues, growth was 4.5%. At a constant euro-dollar exchange rate, revenue growth stood at 6.0%. ?
Second quarter revenues (excluding non-recurring revenues) stood at ?303.6 million, up 5.6%. Compared with Q1 2011-2012, they rose 2.8%.
Capacity constraints were alleviated with the successful launches of two new satellites (ATLANTIC BIRD 7 at 7? West and W3C at 16?East) although their entry into service came towards the end of the half year period.
VIDEO APPLICATIONS (67.7% of revenues)
Video?Applications recorded growth of 2.9% to ?403.3 million. ?Sequential growth from the first to the second quarter was 3.5% as revenues benefited from additional capacity provided by the two new satellites located at key video neighbourhoods: 7? West, serving the Middle East and North Africa, and 16? East serving Central Europe and Indian Ocean Islands. Two other video neighbourhoods, 36? East and 7? East, continued to benefit from the dynamism of these markets. First half revenues were mainly driven by:
- The 7? West video neighbourhood, the leading broadcast market in the Middle East and North Africa, was strengthened by the arrival of ATLANTIC BIRD 7 delivering reinforced and expansion capacity with its wide beam coverage across the Middle East and North Africa. It took over the existing video traffic that had been developed by ATLANTIC BIRD 4A. ?Growth reflects, in particular, the signing of new leases mostly with strong regional media players, on the wide beam coverage extending to Northwest Africa.
- The 16? East video neighbourhood was strengthened by the entry into service of W3C, as renewal and extension contracts were signed with both public and private broadcasters in the regions covering Central Europe and the Indian Ocean Islands;
- The 36? East position, leads the expansion of satellite television in ?Russia and sub-Saharan Africa benefited from the existing contracts on W7, especially from long-time customers, mainly for the Russian DTH market; ?
- Finally, the 7? East neighbourhood, with coverage of the near Middle-East, contributed to growth as one anchor customer signed contracts for incremental capacity while another renewed contracts on the satellite W3A.
The attractiveness of Eutelsat's key video neighbourhoods was confirmed by the increase in TV channels. particularly addressing fastest-growing markets. At 31 December 2011, Eutelsat's fleet was transmitting a total of 4,173 channels, up 391, from 3,782 the year before. ?Over 90% of TV channel growth came from fast growing markets, including North Africa, the Middle East, Central and Eastern Europe; Russia and Africa. Three key neighbourhoods recorded double-digit growth in the number TV channels broadcast:
- 7? West, where channel count increased by 126 (+34.3%). This neighbourhood now broadcasts 493 channels to the Middle East and North Africa;
- 9? East saw a 28.9% rise in channels (up 76), bringing program offerings on 339 channels to Europe as far east as the Urals;
- 36? East, carrying 90 new TV channels (+14.8%), is now Eutelsat's second largest video neighbourhood with a total of 697 channels serving Russia and sub-Saharan Africa.
High Definition is a confirmed growth driver as the number of HD channels increased 45.1%, bringing the number of HD channels broadcast by the fleet to 283 showing a penetration rate of 7% up from 5% a year ago.
DATA and VALUE-ADDED SERVICES (19.8% of revenues)
Total revenues for Data and Value-added Services were ?117.8 million (+0.8%) for the first half. ?
The first segment of this activity, Data Services, grew by 2.2% to ?95.2 million. ?This segment has been largely constrained by the lack of available capacity until the arrival of new in-orbit resources on ATLANTIC BIRD 7 and W3C, with coverage of sub-Saharan Africa and Northwest Africa. ?The growth achieved over the period is mainly due to new contracts and contract renewals on the W2A satellite at 10? East, for connectivity between Africa and Europe; ATLANTIC BIRD 3, at the position 5? West, for services in Africa; and, W7 at 36? East, from a spot that includes Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia for interconnection services to business networks, mobile networks and access to the Internet backbone.
Revenues for Value Added Services stood at ?22.7 million, down 4.7%. This comparison, which masks the growth of Tooway ? services, Internet access, is due to an unfavorable comparison with the first half of 2010-2011 which was boosted by a contract with the SNCF (French railway) and by lower sales of D-Star terminals.
The first half of 2011-2012 marked seven months since the entry into service of the KA-SAT satellite and the commercial launch of the new generation Tooway? broadband service which addresses households in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin unserved or underserved by terrestrial networks. ?Revenues to date have been built mainly through a network of expert distributors and resellers in targeted regions, mainly Western Europe, and are starting to benefit from contracts from larger distributors with national reach. The first half has proven Tooway?'s technological performance on the consumer offering, as demonstrated by the positive user feedback received from distributors.
Marketing of professional services on KA-SAT, which notably include enterprise networks, began a slow rollout in the seven months following entry into service of the satellite, mainly due to the fact that these offers did not benefit from the pre-KA-SAT development phase.
MULTI-USAGE (12.5% of revenues)
Multi-usage activity, which includes short-term contracts to governments and administrations who buy transponder capacity from commercial operators to meet specific needs in certain regions, recorded another half year increase of 29.9%, to ?74.4 million. This performance reflects the full effect of contracts signed last year.
At constant currencies revenue growth in Multi-usage stood at 35%.
OTHER AND NON-RECURRING REVENUES
Other revenues (?3.3 million) and non-recurring (?3.5 million) revenues stood at a combined ?6.8 million at 31 December 2011. Other revenues comprise contributions from activity related to service contracts with partners, some sale of equipment and the Group's foreign exchange hedging programme. Non-recurring revenues included a late delivery indemnity for the W3C satellite.
OPERATIONAL AND LEASED TRANSPONDERS
As of 31 December 2011, the number of operational transponders on Eutelsat's fleet of 29 satellites stood at 801, an increase of 22.7% compared to December 31, 2010. The majority of this additional capacity relates to the new KA-SAT programme or allocated to two recently opened orbital positions, 3? East and 48? East.
Fleet evolution
December 31, December 31, 2010 2011 Operational transponders 653 801* Leased transponders 590 610 Fill rate 90.4% 76.1%
* Includes 82 KA-SAT spots as transponder equivalents.
BACKLOG INCREASES LONG TERM VISIBILITY
The backlog increased by nearly 10% to reach a record high of ?5,339 million, compared to 31 December 2010
This reinforces the Group's long-term visibility on revenues and operating cash flows. At 31 December 2011, the backlog represented a weighted average residual life of contracts of 7.3 years. ?The backlog is equivalent to approximately 4.6 times annual revenues for FY 2010-2011.
Backlog key indicators:
December 31 2009 2010 2011 Value of contracts (in billions of euros) 4.2 4.9 5.3 Weighted average residual life of contracts (in years) 8.2 7.9 7.3 Share of Video Applications 92.5% 92.3% 93.0%
The backlog represents future revenues from capacity lease agreements (including contracts for satellites not yet delivered). These capacity lease agreements can be for the entire operational life of the satellites.
HIGH profitability levels maintained
EBITDA remained high, delivering a margin of 79.4%
Group EBITDA amounted to ?478.5 million, up 3.4% from last year. The EBITDA margin of 79.4% remains industry-leading among FSS (Fixed Satellite Services) operators and reflects Eutelsat's strong commercial performance coupled with effective cost control. ?
Operating expenses amounted to ?123.9 million, up 9.8%, mainly reflecting the increase in resources dedicated to reinforcing the Group's overall commercial activity including the development of services such as Tooway? and KabelKiosk.
Net margin at 26% despite a non-recurring item
Impacted by a non-recurring item related to the Group's debt refinancing, Group share of net income stood at ?156.8 million a decline of ?17.6 million (-10.1%), reflecting:
- An increase of ?21.4 million in financial expenses, linked to the non-recurring impact of the partial de-qualification of the existing interest rate swap for ?23.4 million following the refinancing of the Group's debt;
- An increase of ?4.6 million in corporate tax, mainly due to the 5% increase of the French corporate tax rate;
- Income from associates was down ?6.0 million to ?5.2 million.

Six months ended December 31 2010 2011 Change Revenues 575.9 602.4 +4.6% Operating expenses[4] (112.9) (123.9) +9.8% EBITDA 463.0 478.5 +3.4% Depreciation and amortisation[5] (142.4) (153.0) +7.4% Other operating income (expenses) (0.9) - N/S Operating income 319.7 325.5 +1.8% Financial result (53.5) (66.9) +25.0% Income tax expense (94.8) (99.3) +4.8% Income from associates 11.2 5.2 -53.3% Portion of net income attributable to non-controlling interests (8.2) (7.7) -5.5% Group share of net income 174.4 156.8 -10.1%
NET CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash flows from operating activities amounted to ?333 million (55.3% of revenues)
The Group saw a decline of ?37.8 million (-10.2%) in net cash flows from operating activities at ?333 million, representing 55.3% of revenues.
This decline was mainly due to higher tax payments (+?49.7 millions compared to previous year) resulting from the increase in net profit before tax in FY10-11 compared to FY09-10. The increase in working capital was related to some late payments from large telecom operators, which were settled in early January this year.
Operating free cash flow amounted to ?91.4 million, a decline on the previous year which was linked to non-recurring items including the first insurance receipts from the loss of the W3B satellite; and the reduction in the equity holding in Solaris, for a total of ?161.6 million. ?Without these two non-recurring items, operating free cash flow would have increased 8.6%. ?
Refinancing of Eutelsat Communications' indebtedness and strengthened financial position
Based on the sound financial performance of Eutelsat Communications, Moody's upgraded its ratings on 20 October 2011. The long term issuer rating of Eutelsat S.A. is now Baa2 and the debt instruments issued at Eutelsat Communications S.A. are rated Baa3. Both ratings have a stable outlook.
In December 2011, the Group successfully refinanced the ?1,465 million Term Loan and ?300 million Revolving Credit Facility at the holding company level, both due in June 2013. The refinancing comprises:
- ?800 million new senior unsecured Term Loan and ?200 million Revolving Credit Facility, both maturing in December 2016, issued by Eutelsat Communications S.A.
- ?800 million senior unsecured bonds bearing a coupon of 5.00%, maturing in January 2019, issued by Eutelsat S.A.

As a result of the refinancing, the average maturity of the Group's debt was increased to 5.1 years[6] from 3.8 years at 30 June 2011. The group has diversified its sources from 100% bank debt at 31 December 2009 to 65% bond debt at 31 December 2011.
The average cost of debt drawn by the Group was 4.48% (after hedging) in the first six months of the 2011-2012 fiscal year.
The net debt to EBITDA ratio for the first half was 2.53 times, compared to 2.75 times at 31 December 2010 and 2.37 times at 30 June 2011.
Net debt to EBITDA ratio
As of December 31 2010 2011 Net debt at the beginning of the period EURm 2,424 2,198 Net debt at the end of the period EURm 2,415 2,380 Net debt / EBITDA (Last twelve months) X 2.75x 2.53x

FLEET DEPLOYMENT plan UPDATE
Eutelsat continues to actively pursue its investment programme to address demand for capacity in markets with high growth potential, including in Central Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and for bridging connectivity to Asia and Latin America.
- After the successful entry into service of ATLANTIC BIRD 7 and W3C, two satellites were also redeployed to new orbital positions in order to develop new markets:
- EUTELSAT 3C, having completed its mission at 7? West as ATLANTIC BIRD 4A, has now been redeployed to
3? East to address data and telecoms markets in Europe and South-West Asia. - EUTELSAT 48B (formerly W2M), was redeployed from 16? East to 48? East, to reinforce capacity at this orbital position for markets in Central Europe, and Asia.
An additional six satellites are currently under construction and scheduled to be launched between fourth quarter (calendar) 2012 and second half (calendar) 2014.
- Scheduled for launch in Q4 2012 by Arianespace, W6A will replace the W6 satellite will bring 50% more capacity to 21.5? East, a core neighbourhood for data, professional video and government services across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.
- Scheduled for launch in Q4 2012 by Sea Launch, W5A will replace W5 will more than double Eutelsat's current capacity at 70.5? East to serve a range of professional applications that include government services, broadband access, GSM backhauling and professional video exchanges in Europe, Africa and Central and South-East Asia.
- EUROBIRD 2A is being built in the framework of a partnership with ictQATAR, representing the state of Qatar. Its mission will be to replace the EUROBIRD 2 satellite at 25.5? East to diversify resources at this orbital position by expanding Ku-band capacity and introducing Ka-band capacity;
- W3D will be co-positioned with W3A satellite at 7? East. It will increase in-orbit security and inject new capacity to capture business opportunities in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia;
- EUTELSAT 3B will reinforce capacity at 3?East to cover Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia as well as parts of South America, notably Brazil. This orbital position was opened in 2011 by the leased satellite EUTELSAT 3A.
- EUTELSAT 9B will significantly expand and diversify resources at its 9? East location which addresses high-growth video markets across Europe. Its close proximity to Eutelsat's flagship HOT BIRD satellites at 13? East also gives satellite viewers the opportunity to increase viewing choice through a dual-feed antenna.
Following the implementation of this new phase of the Company's fleet expansion and re-deployment programme, transponder capacity is set to increase by 20% in the guidance period (June 2011 to June 2014).

The main character in puzzler Grooh looks an awfully lot like the Totoro from the famous Miyazaki children?s film, My Neighbor Totoro, but on the plus side, the cartoonish visual aesthetic adds a lot to the fun. You?ll need to navigate Grooh through numerous levels, solving puzzles to open each new door. The doors are all locked by colored tiles built into the floor; you?ll use Grooh?s special powers to destroy those tiles in order to unlock them.
