Commenting on these results, Amedeo D’Angelo, chairman and chief executive officer of Inside Secure, stated:
“This semester, we have delivered a strong performance both on revenue and profitability while continuing our investments across our portfolio to fuel future growth.
Revenue growth was particularly high, driven by strong business fundamentals over the period, new significant agreements with existing customers in the second quarter, and NFC patent license revenue. We continued to significantly grow license revenue, leveraging our customer base and attracting new customers with bundled solutions to embed security at the heart of their products and secure their communications, as illustrated by our partnership with Kalray on intelligent processors and Andes on security processors for IoT in Asia.
As expected, we continued our research & development efforts across our portfolio to bring more value to our customers in high potential verticals such as IoT and automotive by combining embeded security into chips with provisioning capacity of the acquired company SypherMedia to monitor security during the entire life cycle. We are also developing new solutions to enable studios protecting their premium content revenue.
Thanks to strong revenue growth in the first half, we are confident that we will achieve robust top line revenue growth in 2018 while continuing to closely monitor our investments toward profitable growth and position Inside Secure in high potential markets.”
