It designs, develops and marketssecurity devices primarily for the pay-TV industry worldwidethrough sales of conditional access modules, or CAMs,products which provide end users with access to pay-TVcontent. The Group is also engaged in the following two businessactivities: –intelligent sense technology business which focuseson research, development and sales of smart sensing–oriented products and solutions; and –provision of integrated circuit (“IC”) solutions, includingdevelopment and sales of IC products and related designservices. IC CAM In the first half of 2024, the Group’s revenue generatedfrom CAM sales amounted to approximately US$5.7 million,representing a decrease of 4.3% when compared to thatin the first half of 2023 (for the six months ended 30 June2023: US$6.0 million), and which accounted for 65.9% of theGroup’s total revenue. 4.3%5.76.065.9% In the first half of 2024, the revenue from the largest marketfor CAM, Europe, accounted for 73.1% of CAM’s total sales,a year-on-year decrease of 9.5%, primarily due to a decline inproduct unit prices. Among them, shipments to customers inAustria and Eastern Europe increased year-on-year, mainly dueto the increased procurement volume driven by the businessdevelopment of major operators; whereas order demandin Western and Northern Europe decreased year-on-year,mainly due to slower-than-expected inventory consumptionby customers. Sales in emerging markets slightly decreasedby 2.6% year-on-year, which approximated same level withthat of the same period last year. Sales in the domestic marketdecreased by 26.1% year-on-year, mainly due to the absenceof bulk engineering card orders in the first half of this yearcompared to the same period last year. 73.1%9.5%2.6%26.1% MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS IPOTT European PayTV operators plan to shut down standarddefinition channels by the end of the year, stimulating marketdemand for new terminal equipment. However, the trendof TV operators turning content into IP continued, and themarket faced the impact of OTT services. The demand forPayTV products was still declining, and as a result, the demandfor CAM in Western and Northern Europe had decreasedyear-on-year. Due to the war and sanctions on Russia, thepreviously planned tender was thwarted, and productsintended for the Russian market could not be sold as planned.This situation may persist throughout the year.
