The provision for post-employment benefits is for the lump sum retirement indemnity required to be paid to French employees.
12. Foreign currency risk and fair value of derivative financial instruments
The Company faces the following foreign currency exposures:
| Transaction risk arising from: |
| Operating activities, when revenues or expenses are denominated in different currencies from the functional currency of the entity carrying out these transactions. |
| Non derivative monetary financial instruments that are denominated and settled in a currency different from the functional currency of the entity which holds them. |
Nearly 100% of total revenues and approximately 99% of total cost of sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, as a result of significant headcount and related costs from operations in France, which are denominated and settled in euros (the structural costs), the Company has transactional currency exposures which can be affected significantly by movements in the U.S. dollar/euro exchange rates. Approximately 48% of operating expense is denominated in euros. The Company seeks to mitigate the effect of its structural currency exposure by raising capital in euros sufficient to cover euro-based operating expenses. The Company has not used the possibility offered by paragraph 72 of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to designate non-derivative financial assets (cash and cash equivalents plus trade accounts receivables less trade accounts payable, denominated in euro) as a hedging instrument for a hedge of a foreign currency risk (U.S. dollar versus euro fluctuations) corresponding to structural cost related future cash outflows.
If there were a 10% increase or decrease in exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the euro, the Company estimates the impact, in absolute terms, on operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 would have been $1.6 million.
The Company uses financial instruments, including derivatives such as foreign currency forward and options contracts, to reduce the foreign exchange risk on cash flows from firm and highly probable commitments denominated in euros.

13. Contingencies
From time to time, the Company has been and may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business.
On October 13, 2010, Altair Semiconductor Ltd., or Altair, filed a claim against Sequans Communications S.A., Sequans Communications Israel (2009) Ltd., and two Company employees in the Tel Aviv-Jaffa Regional Labor Court. The claim asserts that the Company caused two former Altair employees named in the claim to breach their contracts with Altair by offering employment to such individuals for the purpose of obtaining trade secrets of Altair. In August 2012, the Company entered a settlement agreement with Altair whereby all claims were dropped by both parties with no financial repercussions to the Company.
On September 9, 2011 a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and UBS Limited and Jefferies & Company Inc, the lead underwriters in our initial public offering. This action, Donald Dean Johnson v. Sequans Communications S.A., et al, alleges violations of the U.S. federal securities laws in connection with our initial public offering. A substantially similar complaint was filed on October 25, 2011, also in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On December 13, 2011 the Court consolidated the two actions, and appointed lead plaintiffs and co-lead plaintiffs counsel. On January 31, 2012, lead plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint for Violations of Federal Securities Laws, which seeks unspecified damages. On May 14, 2012, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the consolidated complaint. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the consolidated action.

Revenue
Product revenue decreased 71% from $25.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $7.5 million in the same period in 2012. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales of WiMAX products following changes in the WiMAX market in the United States beginning in the second half of 2011. Our largest customer, HTC, integrated our WiMAX products into a line of smartphones sold primarily in the United States. HTC represented 61% of our revenue in the third quarter of 2012 compared to 73% of our revenue in the third quarter of 2011. During the third quarter of 2012, we shipped 676,000 units of WiMAX products compared to 2.2 million units in the third quarter of 2011. We expect our WiMAX product revenue to decline as a result of a general decline in the WiMAX market in the United States.
Other revenue increased 59% from $0.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $0.5 million in the same period in 2012, reflecting one-time service revenue of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2012.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of product revenue decreased 66% from $12.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $4.1 million in the same period in 2012 due to lower product and manufacturing costs associated with the decreased number of units sold. Cost of other revenue decreased from $54 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $44 thousand in the same period in 2012.
16
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased 73% from $14.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $3.8 million in the same period in 2012, and gross margin decreased from 53.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2011 to 48.0% in the same period in 2012. The difference in gross margin primarily reflects the significant decline in revenue. Product gross margin decreased from 52.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2011 to 44.9% in the same period in 2012 due to continued low absorption of fixed costs and a less favorable product mix in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to prior periods.
Research and Development
Research and development expense remained relatively flat at $6.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012. Although the total amount of expense remained consistent on a net basis, it reflects increases in costs from internal reorganizations that moved certain teams from sales and marketing to research and development in the first quarter of 2012, offset by headcount reductions that took place in May 2012 as part of an overall headcount reduction in the Company. From January 1, 2012, the product project management team, which previously was combined with product marketing and which works closely with engineering, was deemed to be more logically a part of research and development expense, while the product marketing team was combined with strategic marketing. Therefore, the eight employees in the project management team were recorded in research and development expense beginning in January 2012. In addition, the technical support engineers who previously reported to the sales department were moved to the engineering department in April 2012, as their work is closely tied to ongoing product development (particularly in software). Overall, there were 179 employees in research and development at September 30, 2012 compared to 170 employees at September 30, 2011.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expense decreased 55% from $3.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $1.5 million in the same period in 2012. The decrease primarily reflects the impact of an internal reorganization that took place in January 2012 whereby the product marketing positions previously reporting to the product line management group were combined with strategic marketing, and the remaining product project management team, which works closely with engineering, was deemed to be more logically a part of research and development expense. Therefore, the eight employees from the product marketing and project management teams are no longer recorded in sales and marketing expense beginning in January 2012. In addition, the technical support engineers who previously reported to the sales department were moved to the engineering department in April 2012, as described above. Overall, there were 14 employees in sales and marketing at September 30, 2012 compared to 43 employees at September 30, 2011.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense decreased 23% from $2.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $1.9 million in the same period in 2012 primarily due to a decrease of $0.3 million in stock based compensation expenses. Overall, there were 20 employees in general and administrative at September 30, 2012 compared to 24 employees at September 30, 2011.
Interest Income (Expense), Net
Net interest income increased from a net interest expense of $26,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2011 to a net interest income of $22,000 in the same period in 2012. Higher net interest income in the three months ended September 30, 2012 reflects primarily the termination of our accounts receivable financing arrangement in the third quarter of 2011 and the reimbursement of bank convertible notes in October 2011, offset slightly by interest expense related to a new lease financing arrangement put in place in the third quarter of 2012.
17
Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss), Net
We had a net foreign exchange loss of $0.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a net foreign exchange gain of $0.2 million in the same period in 2012, primarily due to movements in the U.S. dollar versus the euro.
Other Financial Income (Expense)
Other financial income of $1.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 represented the change in the fair value of the option component of bank convertible notes, calculated prior to their conversion. There was no other financial income or expense in the three months ended September 30, 2012 due to the conversion of the bank convertible notes in October 2011.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense remained relatively flat at $73,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $71,000 in the same period in 2011, as income tax expense arises from operations in our non-French subsidiaries, which have not varied significantly from 2011 to 2012.

Revenue
Product revenue decreased 79% from $80.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $16.8 million in the same period in 2012. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales of WiMAX products following changes in the WiMAX market in the United States beginning in the second half of 2011. Our largest customer, HTC, integrated our WiMAX products into a line of smartphones sold primarily in the United States. HTC represented 35% of our revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 79% of our revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we shipped 1.2 million units of WiMAX products compared to 7.1 million units in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Other revenue increased 60% from $1.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $2.4 million in the same period in 2012, reflecting primarily the execution of a greater number of license agreements for the use of our technology solutions in 2012.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of product revenue decreased 78% from $40.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $9.0 million in the same period in 2012 due to lower product and manufacturing costs associated with the decreased number of units sold. Cost of other revenue decreased from $0.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $0.1 million in the same period in 2012.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased 76% from $41.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $10.0 million in the same period in 2012, while gross margin increased from 50.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to 52.3% in the same period in 2012. The reduction in gross profit was due to the decline in revenue, while the gross margin was improved due to a favorable revenue mix in 2012, with a greater percentage of revenue derived from the sale of licenses. Product gross margin decreased from 50.4 % in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to 46.4% in the same period in 2012 primarily due to revenue mix and low absorption of fixed production costs caused by a low product revenue base.
Research and Development
Research and development expense increased 10% from $19.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $21.1 million in the same period in 2012. This reflects a net increase in headcount, as well as significant costs in 2012 related to readying new LTE products for mass production.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expense decreased 42% from $9.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $5.7 million in the same period in 2012, primarily due to a reduction in headcount as product development and technical support engineers were reassigned to research and development.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense remained relatively flat at $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011.
Interest Income (Expense), Net
Net interest income increased 127% from a net interest expense of $0.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to a net interest income of $0.1 million in the same period in 2012. Higher net interest income in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 reflects lower interest expense in 2012 due to the termination of our accounts receivable financing arrangement in the third quarter of 2011, the reimbursement of bank convertible notes in October 2011, offset slightly by interest expense related to a new lease financing arrangement put in place in the third quarter of 2012.
19
Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss), Net
We had a net foreign exchange loss of $0.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a net foreign exchange loss of $0.1 million in the same period in 2012, primarily due to movements in the U.S. dollar versus the euro.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Income tax expense remained roughly flat at $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011, as income tax expense arises from operations in our non-French subsidiaries, which have not varied significantly from 2011 to 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Our cash and cash equivalents were $36.4 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $57.2 million at December 31, 2011. This decrease was due primarily to the use of cash and cash equivalents to fund operations and on-going research and development activities. We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months.
Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through proceeds from the issues of our preference shares and convertible notes, which totaled 54.7 million ($73.1 million) from 2004 to the end of 2010; and from the $59.1 million in net proceeds from our initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange in April 2011.
Cash Flows
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $16.1 million, reflecting a net loss (before income tax) of $22.9 million, a decrease in inventories of $3.3 million, an increase in research tax credit receivable of $3.0 million and a decrease of trade payables and other liabilities of $5.4 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization of $4.8 million, share-based compensation expenses of $3.0 million, and a decrease in trade receivables and other receivables of $4.9 million during the period.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets of $4.7 million.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash from financing activities was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In June 2012, we entered into a finance lease agreement with a French financial institution whereby we have the possibility to finance acquisitions of qualifying equipment with a total purchase price of up to 1,500,000.
Trend Information
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the most significant change in trends that effected our business, results of operations and financial condition was the continued decline experienced in the WiMAX market driven by a change in strategy by Sprint, the largest driver of demand for WiMAX semiconductor solutions, who introduced
20
the 3G iPhone and announced their intention to begin deploying LTE in 2012. This change in the WiMAX market harmed our results of operations for the period. Other than the possibility of continued declines in the WiMAX market prior to our generating significant revenue from LTE products, or as disclosed elsewhere in this report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are reasonable likely to have a material adverse effect on our net revenue, income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that caused the disclosed financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial condition.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Since our inception, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations relate primarily to non-cancellable operating leases and inventory component purchase commitments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there were no significant changes in our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Item 3. Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2012 Financial Results
Fourth Quarter 2012 Highlights:
Revenue: Revenue of $3.1 million decreased 60.8% sequentially from the third quarter of 2012, reflecting a decrease in shipments of WiMAX products, partially offset by increased LTE shipments. Revenue decreased 72.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, due to lower sales of WiMAX products, following changes in the WiMAX market in the United States beginning in the second half of 2011.
Gross margin: Gross margin was 9.4%, including a provision for excess inventory totaling $0.9 million. This compares to gross margin of 48.0% in the third quarter of 2012 and 52.0% in the fourth quarter of 2011. Excluding this provision, gross margin in the fourth quarter would have been 36.6%.
Operating income (loss): Operating loss was $9.8 million compared to an operating loss of $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2012 and an operating loss of $5.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Net loss: Net loss was $9.9 million, or ($0.29) per diluted share/ADS, compared to a net loss of $5.8 million, or ($0.17) per diluted share/ADS in the third quarter of 2012 and a net loss of $5.6 million, or ($0.16) per diluted share/ADS in the fourth quarter of 2011.
