NDS Group plc (“NDS” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NNDS), a majority-owned subsidiary of News Corporation that supplies open end-to-end digital technology and services to digital pay-television platform operators and content providers, announced today its operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2007.
Commenting on NDS’s performance, Dr. Abe Peled, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NDS said, “NDS is benefiting from the long-term investments we have made in R&D, which have resulted in our clear leadership in security, middleware and DVR technologies for pay-TV. This has allowed us to continue and expand our long-standing relationships with our established customers and also to win new ones. We are particularly proud of having passed the 10 million DVR milestone with our XTVTM technology, in which we started investing in 1998. We are also gratified by the performance of our Orbis subsidiary, where our OpenBetTM platform that offers single account gaming across multiple applications has been well received and has been adopted by key new customers over the last year. Furthermore, our acquisition of NT Media and our subsequent investments have allowed us to offer a number of innovative original games that have been very successful, and helped establish the OpenBet platform.
“NDS continues to invest to insure that our customers will have the solutions they will need to take advantage of the new opportunities presented by augmenting broadcast delivery with the increasingly ubiquitous broadband IP delivery of entertainment.”
