Kudelski’s Digital Television segment saw business declined by 11.6% to $227.8 million in 2024.
The company said this was largely down to the ongoing contraction of the traditional Conditional Access System business.
Some product lines still managared a strong performance, notably the Advanced Security, which grew revenues by 47%. The suite of anti-piracy solutions secured multiple strategic contracts, including agreements with France Télévisions to replay sports content securely across devices and FanCode for Active Streaming Protection implementation. Additional contract wins include Telefonica, RAI, Sun NXT, and HBBTV.
Canal entered into a 10-year strategic partnership to strengthen its fight against streaming piracy. Active Streaming Protection will combat content theft, prevent service fraud, and significantly reduce piracy across its consumer offerings.
Following the reorganisation of its operational structure and the cost-reduction program announced earlier this year, the Group has reorganised its business segments. Digital Television becomes Core Digital Security as it merges with core security activities from Kudelski IoT division.
In February, plans were announced for a 160 reduction in positions worldwide including 40 to 45 positions at its headquarters in Switzerland.
