Mobile security firm Gemalto announced it will next week unveil a new strategic plan, as it reported rising operating profits and revenues for the first half of 2013.

The 5 September announcement is likely to continue its existing focus, according to CEO Olivier Piou (pictured).

“We’re benefiting from deep durable trends because of new technologies in segments like mobile and machine-to-machine,” Piou commented during the company’s conference call.

“I don’t see that rupturing in 2014,” he added in comments reported by Bloomberg.

Piou pointed to mobile money and mobile identification as likely growth areas for the plan.

Gemalto has succeed in winning some key contracts with leading operators to supply its NFC-based trusted service manager (TSM) technology.

Gemalto reported first-half revenues from its mobile business climbed six per cent to €505 million. The figure for operating profits was €70.5 million compared to €69.4 million in 2012.

Overall, revenues rose 11 per cent to €1.13 billion and operating profits were €131 million, an increase of 14 per cent over the previous year.

The company forecast revenue and operating profits will grow by at least ten per cent in full-year 2013 results.
