Creation of the first European integrated player in digital content delivery for the cinema industry
YMAGIS (ISIN: FR0011471291, mnemonic: MAGIS), the specialist in digital technologies for the cinema industry, has announced the operational deployment of the company SMARTJOG-YMAGIS Logistics, created by SMARTJOG and YMAGIS.
The Extraordinary General Meeting of SMARTJOG-YMAGIS Logistics on November 30, 2013, approved all the contributions of both partners with regards to the duplication and delivery of digital content dedicated to cinema.
The new entity, owned 60% and 40% respectively by YMAGIS and SMARTJOG, will be entered into the consolidated accounts of YMAGIS through global integration starting December 1st, 2013.
THE FIRST SERVICE OF INTEGRATED LOGISTICS FOR THE CINEMA INDUSTRY
Together, YMAGIS and SMARTJOG give birth to the European leader in this sector, SMARTJOG-YMAGIS Logistics, which offers the cinema industry a global logistics service for the delivery of movies, trailers, commercials, alternative contents, as well as static or dynamic posters to theaters and laboratories. Its services cover the preparation of encrypted digital movies' copies (DCP) and of keys enabling their projection (KDM), in addition to their delivery to cinema screens and laboratories, via satellite, ADSL/fiber or physical medias.
In 2013, YMAGIS and SMARTJOG together ensured the delivery of more than 50 000 movie DCPs and of nearly 300 000 trailer and commercial DCPs across Europe.
The constituted structure represents a cumulated pro forma revenue of around 7 M in 2013, a growth of more than 14% compared with 2012.
SIGNIFICANT GROWTH OF INSTALLED THEATERS FORECAST FOR 2014
SMARTJOG-YMAGIS Logistics depends on a team of 25 people, who have come from YMAGIS and SMARTJOG and are now grouped together in YMAGIS offices in Paris, Barcelona and Berlin, to provide a unique and integrated solution to the exhibitors and distributors in Europe, especially to American studios.
The preferred relationships developed by YMAGIS with the distributors and the exhibitors and the special position held by SMARTJOG in Europe in dematerialized transmission notably by satellite constitute a solid base for the new entity to lean on.
Armed with a communication network linking together more than 1 800 theaters in Europe and representing nearly 8 000 screens, SMARTJOG-YMAGIS Logistics expects significant growth in its installed theaters starting in 2014, firstly in western Europe, then in Eastern Europe.
Next releases:
- February 11, 2014, turnover of year 2013
- March 25, 2014, results of year 2013
