Philippe Vallee, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The first quarter revenue reflects the significant volatility in our Payment business in line with the unique pattern of EMV migration in the world's largest EMV market, the United States. In addition, the removable SIM business continues to decline while the ecosystem prepares for the next generation of devices. Consequently, Gemalto has launched a transition plan aimed at adjusting its Payment operations and Mobile business to reduced demand. For Enterprise, Government Programs and Machine-to-Machine businesses, Gemalto expects an acceleration in the second part of the year supported by solid backlogs and continues to invest in these businesses in line with their long term trends. The acquisition of the 3M Identity Management Business is on-track with all approvals received."
