Gemalto Security segment includes Government Programs and Identity and Access Management (IAM). Government Programs revenue expanded by 16 percent with strong deliveries in the Americas.

Gemalto three main segments, Mobile Communications, Secure Transactions and Security now account for more than 95 percent of its total revenue. Together, the three main business segments combined grew by 8.1percent for year 2008. The memory card market for Public Telephony continues to decline as mobile telephony expands worldwide. For the Point of Sales Terminals activity, revenue shortfalls were recorded in H1/2008 due to an issue related to a faulty component detected in Gemalto’s contract-manufacturer’s supply chain. The issue was solved in Q3/2008, and this segment is progressively returning to a normal level of activity. The Gemalto CEO, Olivier Piou, commented the results: “The three main segments together are up more than 8 percent for the full year. Software and services continue to expand rapidly, reaching nearly 10 percent of the Company annual turnover. We have experienced only a relatively small impact from the current global economic environment, and see limited changes in overall market demand.” www.gemalto.com
