Commenting on the performance for the second quarter 2003, Alex Mandl, Chief Executive Officer, said:

“We made further progress in a number of areas during the second quarter and these remain in line with the plan we announced at the end of 2002. As Gemplus continues this year of transition, the business is responding well to the restructuring initiatives we have put in place. Returns have improved in the commodity segment of our operations. Our new regional focus has already helped us serve some of our customers better, with notable progress in China and the US. We have seen steady migration towards higher value cards, further improving our product mix. In addition, average selling price of wireless cards has increased, helped by regional and product mix. The turnaround at Gemplus is progressing and we are satisfied that our efforts are on track to deliver our plan.”

Second quarter 2003 financial review

  Income statement

Highlights:

    Revenue reflecting strong sales in wireless cards and EMV migration ramp-up.
 
    Gross margin increased by 3.3 percentage points driven by more favorable business mix and productivity gains.
 
    Operating loss nearly halved reflecting further reduction in operating expenses.
 
    Net loss reflecting 65.7 million euros of non-recurring items comprising restructuring expenses and non-cash items.

The analysis of the Company’s second quarter revenue shows the following:

    Sales growth was mainly driven by wireless cards, but Group revenue reflects continued pricing pressure and adverse currency fluctuations.
 
    All Business Units contributed to quarter on quarter revenue growth: while Telecom continues its recovery underpinned by the 8.6% year on year revenue growth (currency adjusted) in wireless cards, Financial Security and Services shows signs of a recovery as EMV migration is ramping up.
 
    On a geographical basis, Americas revenue rose 12.4% year on year (currency adjusted), driven by the wireless segment. EMEA revenue declined 9.5% year on year driven by the unfavorable GeldKarte market replacement cycle. Asia revenue dropped 20.9% driven by pricing pressure.

Group gross margin increased by 3.3 percentage points compared with the first quarter 2003, mainly driven by more favorable business mix and savings attributable to the Company’s continued cost structure optimization plan. Manufacturing productivity was partially affected by a strike in France. Wireless sales mix improvement in particular helped compensate for pricing pressure. Gross margin increased by 4.6 percentage points compared with the second quarter of last year.

Operating expenses decreased a further 5.0% quarter on quarter to 61.8 million euros. The operating expense run rate was reduced from 63.5 million euros per quarter in the first quarter 2003 to 60.0 million euros in the second quarter 2003, further lowering the break even point.

The implementation of the December 2002 restructuring plan is on track. The second quarter was mainly dedicated to executing the legal process in European countries. The majority of job cuts planned should be completed during the second half of 2003.

As a result, the operating loss before restructuring nearly halved quarter on quarter to 13.9 million euros. Compared with the second quarter 2002, the operating loss was cut by 43% despite adverse currency fluctuations.

Net income for the second quarter was affected by 65.7 million euros of non-recurring items, of which 39% is non-cash. They include a provision for restructuring (42.3 million euros), goodwill write down (19.9 million euros) and equity investments write down (3.5 million euros).

  Balance sheet and cash flow statement

Highlights:

    Free cash outflow before restructuring: 5.5 million euros.
 
    Cash nearly stable at 406.2 million euros.

During the second quarter, the Company maintained a strong balance sheet. Net cash outflow consumed 10.2 million euros during the second quarter reflecting restructuring expenses of 12.3 million euros. Cash and cash equivalents were stable at 406.2 million euros at the end of the second quarter.

Working capital requirement as a percentage of sales decreased from 13.3% at the end of the first quarter to 9.3% at the end of the second quarter. Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO) were 54 days at the end of the second quarter 2003, compared with 58 days at the end of the first quarter 2003 and 53 days at the end of the second quarter 2002.

The review of the Telecom business unit second quarter revenue shows the following:

    Wireless shipments were up 20.2% quarter on quarter and up 17.9% year on year. The analysis of the regional mix underlines that Gemplus is taking advantage of strong demand in the Americas. Gemplus shipments increased 146% quarter on quarter and 217% year on year in this region which accounted for 19% of total shipments for the second quarter. Sales in EMEA were also strong with a 13.3% quarter on quarter increase and a 20.5% year on year increase in shipments.

    Telecom revenue was nearly stable year on year, despite persistent pricing pressure. More importantly, wireless cards revenue was up 8.6% year on year currency adjusted, a significant acceleration compared with previous quarters. Wireless cards revenue was up 22.3% quarter on quarter currency adjusted.
 
    Strong sales growth in North America highlights the Company’s leadership in the rapidly expanding US SIM cards market. Wireless shipments increased 180% quarter on quarter and 260% year on year in North America. Strong demand is driven by the migration of a number of mobile networks to SIM based technologies. Gemplus is a key supplier to three out of the four major US mobile operators migrating to SIM based technologies.
 
    The analysis of the sales mix shows a further shift to higher end wireless products. 3G cards are ramping up and their weighting in the wireless cards revenue is now material. Shipments of 64 Kb cards rose 62% quarter on quarter and accounted for 9.0% of total shipments in the second quarter compared with 6.7% in the first quarter.
 
    Wireless average selling price (ASP) was up 1.8% sequentially and down 7.6% year on year currency adjusted. A better sales mix that fully compensated for pricing pressure drove ASP improvement. The pricing environment continued to be challenging but appeared to be reasonably stable compared with the previous quarter.

Business Highlights:

As the Company’s improvement in product mix clearly shows, its higher value offering is being well received in the marketplace. In maturing markets, SIM replacement is central to driving ARPU1 growth.

As the primary focus of operators in mature markets is shifting to profit and customer retention rather than market penetration, upgraded SIM replacement becomes a critical focal point for improving revenues and reducing costs. To this end, Gemplus is developing software, hardware and logistical solutions to support operators in this SIM replacement process.

During the second quarter, France’s SFR equipped all their own 500 points of sale with Gemplus’ hardware solution for card copying, Retail Terminal. Mobistar and Vodafone Italy engaged Gemplus for a similar project. Separately, Gemplus’ MySIMcopier has sold well in “3”’s flagship stores. This product enables subscribers to copy across their phonebook and SMS data from one SIM to another — previously a significant barrier to SIM renewal.

In North America, AT&T Wireless entered into a general supply agreement with Gemplus for SIMs for their GSM network.

Gemplus was confirmed this quarter, to continue to supply France Telecom Group for one year. This contract means that Gemplus will supply high-end Java cards to many France Telecom affiliates across the world.

In China, Gemplus’ recently established regional strategy delivered further returns in the second quarter. China Unicom represents a key customer win of 10 million SIMs. Gemplus

rolled out more than seven OTA2 platforms in mainland China during the first half of 2003. This is a critical achievement for the successful launch of Dynamic SIMtoolkit and the migration to high-end cards. Gemplus was also qualified as one of the three authorized vendors for OTA platforms to China Unicom’s 31 provinces, thus positioning Gemplus as a key player for the introduction of high-end services to Unicom GSM and Unicom CDMA branches.

New Products & Services

Innovation remains at the heart of the Gemplus offering.

In Belgium, Gemplus’ m-Banxafe secure mobile banking and prepaid reload solution is now available to 100% of Belgian Mobistar customers. This project demonstrates the Company’s strategy of providing value-added solutions in payment and banking using the inherent security of the SIM. It leverages Gemplus’ broader expertise in market convergence, in this case collaborating successfully with payment and clearing organizations.

Banking / Retail micro cards and contactless shipments rose 54 % quarter on quarter:

    EMV shipments nearly doubled compared with the first quarter and more than tripled compared with the same quarter a year ago. Sales were mainly driven by the UK market, but also supported by South America and Asia.
 
    GeldKarte shipments were strong quarter on quarter, driven by favorable market seasonality. At the same time, shipments dropped year on year due to a less favorable stage of the market replacement cycle.

Business Highlights:

During the second quarter, one of the Company’s strategic partners, Sagem, awarded Gemplus a contract in the Middle East to deliver over two million cards to the United Arab Emirates as part of a nationwide ID security program. This was the second major ID contract won since October 2002.

In the banking segment, the EMV roll-out was accelerated in the second quarter, following two earlier key wins for delivery in 2003 and contracts with major UK banks representing a total of 15 million EMV smart cards. Greater momentum in this roll-out is expected in the second half of 2003. The Company therefore believes that its market share in banking and retail should improve further this year.

In Malaysia, Gemplus has become a major player in EMV migration. After being the first company to have its personalization center certified by Visa and Mastercard, Gemplus has started its shipments of chip-based banking cards. Furthermore, the Company sold its personalization solution, GemSense Pro, to upgrade to EMV the personalization center of Cetrel, co-operative of the Luxemburg-based banks.

The Company also played an active role in the deployment of contactless technology in Latin America: Gemplus has been selected by SP Trans, the Transport Authority in Sao Paulo, to supply the cards for their new contactless ticketing system. The issuance has already started and Gemplus will deliver a total of 2.5 million GemEasy cards to SP Trans.

Longer term, the corporate security and government ID markets continue to show significant potential, in particular in the US and EMEA.

Outlook

The weak US dollar versus the euro is likely to continue to affect revenues in a market where pricing pressure remains. Nevertheless, wireless demand from the US is encouraging and China is undoubtedly strong, but building inventories is a growing concern. Prospects for the Financial Services and Security business unit remain mixed: EMV migration is steady, with the UK in particular gathering pace; government ID and corporate security present attractive long term opportunities.

For the second half of the year, Gemplus should make further progress in the following areas:

    An increasing proportion of higher value products
 
    Continued good momentum in the wireless market
 
    Lower break-even point
 
    Improved execution skills

These advances remain consistent with the turnaround plan announced in December 2002 and are in line with the goals outlined at the time.

Third quarter 2003 results are scheduled to be reported on 29 October 2003.
