These figures take into account the changes of perimeter
of the group and integrate the sales of Oxone Technologies
as from September 1, 2003 and the sales of Mediaplazza as
from April 1, 2004, while Métaphora was sold in June 2004.
The evolution of Jet Multimedia activity during 2004 is
analyzed as follows:
The "advertising & communication" activity carried out E 19.9 million sales.
The "online services hosting" activity sees its sales increasing by 19% to E 124.3 million with:
a decrease of the Minitel business to E 7.9 million, in
a still declining market.
an evolution of the products-mix of the "interactive
telephony services" business, whose sales reached
E 60,1 million. This orientation privileges the services
generating a better margin rather than the services with
strong traffic but with low value added, on a very competing
French market.
an explosion of the mobile SMS/WAP/I-Mode services business,
whose sales achieved E 11.2 million.
a strong growth of the Internet E-business hosting and
electronic payment services whose sales reached E 37.9 million
With the acquisition of Mediaplazza in 2004 and Mediafusion at
the beginning of 2005, Jet Multimedia becomes the European leader
of the interactive online services : established in France, Spain,
Italy, Canada and Morocco, Jet Multimedia markets mobile content
(ringtones, logos, videos, Java games) in more than 45 countries
worldwide. Jet Multimedia is also partner of the biggest French,
Spanish and Italian TVs and radios for their interactive services.
On the basis of the new perimeter, the group represents in 2004
approximately E 200 million consolidated sales.
The strategy of the group aims to accelerate its growth through
international development and a stronger positioning on the BtoC
and mobile services. Jet Multimedia, which has a strong treasury
after the acquisition of Mediafusion, has the means of financing
its organic growth and making new acquisitions.
