Vizrt Ltd. Reports 2011 and Q4 2011 Results with New Records - Seite 4
in Q4 2010, in relation to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from
acquisitions. Adjusted for these amortization effects, the gross margin was 71%
compared to 66% for FY 2010.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for FY 2011 were MUSD 64.4, up 7.5% compared to the
same period LY. The increase was mainly due to an increase in headcount in Vizrt
and staff additions due to the LiberoVision acquisition, which took place in
July 2011. Furthermore, the ongoing implementation of the regionalization
program, as well as a general salary increase implemented throughout the company
in 2011, all contributed to the cost increase. The increase in total operating
expenses was significantly below the revenue growth rate (7.5% versus 19%).
Currency Effects
Currency fluctuations in the second half of the year, especially the
appreciation of the USD, neutralized the effects as reported for the first half
of 2011. The net currency effect, both on OPEX and revenues, was near to
neutral and of no material influence when analyzing the full year results.
