Olivier Piou, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The first quarter of 2014 delivered further revenue growth with different geographical performances: in Asia and North America the activity expansion was rapid, and it grew at a slower pace in Europe and Latin America. Promising market developments and contract wins confirm the conditions for the seasonal acceleration along the year: demand for EMV solutions is rapidly increasing in the US, mobile contactless services are ramping up thanks to simpler, customer-focused go-to-market initiatives, and demand is high in the government market globally. We confirm our outlook for the year and the longer term objectives of our multi-year development plan."

Basis of preparation of financial information

Ongoing operations

For a better understanding of the current and future year-on-year evolution of the business, the Company provides revenue from "ongoing operations" for both the 2014 and 2013 reporting periods.

The adjusted income statement for ongoing operations excludes, as per the IFRS income statement, the contribution from discontinued operations, and also the contribution from assets classified as held for sale and from other items not related to ongoing operations.

In this publication reported figures for ongoing operations only differ from figures for all operations by the contribution from assets held for sale for the year 2013. There is no difference for the year 2014.

Appendix 3 bridges the revenue for ongoing operations to the revenue for all operations.

Segment information

From January 1, 2014, segment information is modified to report on progress towards the objectives set as part of the Company's new development plan covering the years 2014 to 2017, publicly announced on September 5, 2013.

The Mobile segment reports on businesses associated with mobile cellular technologies. The former Mobile Communication and Machine-to-Machine segments are part of Mobile. The security evaluation business for third parties, whose contribution to Mobile Communication was minor, is now managed together with the Patents business and is as of 2014 reported in the Patents & Others segment.

The Payment & Identity segment reports on businesses associated with secure personal interactions. The former Secure Transactions and Security segments are part of Payment & Identity.

In addition to this segment information, the Company also reports as of 2014 revenue of Mobile and Payment & Identity by type of activity: Embedded software & Products (E&P) and Platforms & Services (P&S).

Appendix 4 presents segment information in 2013 and 2014 formats.

Historical exchange rates and constant exchange rates figures

Revenue variations are at constant exchange rates except where otherwise noted.

The Company sells its products and services in a very large number of countries and is commonly remunerated in currencies other than the Euro. Fluctuations in exchange rates of these other currencies against the Euro have a translation impact on the reported Euro value of the Company revenue. Comparisons at constant exchange rates aim at eliminating the effect of currencies translation movements on the analysis of the Company revenues by translating prior year revenues at the same average exchange rate as applied in the current year.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the period, revenue for ongoing operations was up by +7.3% year-on-year at constant exchange rates to EUR 532 million, showing growth in all regions. Growth came mostly from the Payment & Identity segment this quarter, with strong activity linked to EMV payment cards. The Mobile segment was stable due to a lower contribution from the Mobile Communication business as some project launches in Europe were rescheduled to later this year. Revenue contributions of the Mobile and Payment & Identity segments were respectively 51% and 48% of the total revenue.

Revenue from Platforms & Services activities grew by +8% to EUR 99 million, or 19% of the total Company revenue, supported by progress in mobile payment, internet banking security and eGovernment services.

During the first quarter, the adverse effects of currency translation movements were significant with revenue expanding by +7% at constant exchange rates and by +3% at historical exchange rates. Currency variations that most impacted reported revenue figures were from the Japanese Yen, American Dollar and Brazilian Real, which decreased in value relative to the Euro by 16%, 3% and 18% respectively.

The Mobile segment posted revenue of EUR 271 million, stable year-on-year at constant exchange rates.

Revenue from Platforms & Services grew by +6%, to EUR 53 million, on top of 2013 first quarter's +33% year-on-year growth. Growth came mainly from the expansion in activation services for LTE subscriptions and in mobile payment services.

Embedded software & Products revenue was EUR 218 million, representing a (1%) variation compared to the first quarter of 2013. Deployment of 4th generation LTE SIM technology continued to grow across the different regions. Sales of multi-tenant SIM cards, used to secure third-party services such as mobile payment, grew rapidly in North America. They were lower in Europe as several commercial deployments were rescheduled to later in the year in order to implement a simplified partner enrolment process and additional security measures. Revenue generation from multi-tenant SIM cards planned for the year is unchanged. Embedded software & Products revenue in the Machine-to-Machine business was EUR 46 million, up +8%, with a strong performance in the automotive and metering industries.

The Payment & Identity segment's revenue came in at EUR 253 million, increasing by +12% compared to the previous year.

Deployment of EMV technology accelerated in China, further expanding on top of the rapid increase in revenue recorded during the first quarter of 2013. In Europe, migration to dual interface payment cards continued, adding the convenient NFC contactless tap-and-pay benefit to the traditional chip-based secure payment card experience. In the United States, customer initiatives intensified towards national rollouts of EMV payment cards in the second part of 2014. The Government business experienced strong tender activity related to new programs in emerging countries; however revenue recorded this quarter did not reach the high comparison basis of the first quarter of 2013. For the segment, including evolutions in the government and enterprise businesses, Embedded software & Product revenue grew by +12%.

Revenue in Platforms & Services also increased, by +11%, to EUR 46 million. Activities related to cloud access security showed a particularly strong development, notably driven by demand for securing internet banking services.

In February, the litigation initiated in the United States went before a panel of judges of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to review the preliminary decision of the district court in Texas.
