Gr ce aux performances r alis es en 2019, nous sommes sur la bonne voie pour atteindre nos objectifs en 2020 et en 2022. Notre strat gie recentr e, consistant accro tre les investissements R&D tout en am liorant lefficacit op rationnelle, porte ses fruits. Nous avons retrouv notre leadership technologique, regagn le terrain perdu sur plusieurs march s et am lior nos r sultats financiers. Aujourdhui, nous sommes un leader de la 5G avec 79 accords commerciaux 5G avec des op rateurs uniques et 24 r seaux 5G live sur quatre continents. La marge dexploitation[1], hors co ts li s la r solution des enqu tes de la SEC et du DOJ am ricains et aux charges de restructuration, sest lev e 9,7 % pour lensemble de lann e 2019, atteignant presque lobjectif de plus de 10 % un an plus t t.
Le r sultat dexploitation a t affect par laugmentation des d penses dexploitation. Cette augmentation est li e lacquisition de Kathrein, laugmentation des investissements dans le programme de digitalisation de l'entreprise, lajout de ressources pour renforcer la s curit ainsi qu notre programme consacr l thique et la conformit . Pour 2020, nous pr voyons une l g re augmentation des d penses dexploitation, ce qui ne mettra pas en p ril nos objectifs financiers.
La marge brute[2] de l'activit R seaux r alis e au cours du trimestre a t bonne. Elle a atteint 41 % si l'on prend en compte les effets des contrats strat giques, ce qui refl te la solidit des fondamentaux de lentreprise. Nous avons constat un ralentissement de nos activit s en Am rique du Nord au quatri me trimestre 2019, en raison de lincertitude li e la fusion annonc e entre op rateurs. LAm rique du Nord repr sente ainsi la plus faible part du chiffre daffaires total de l'entreprise depuis un certain temps. Toutefois, les fondamentaux de notre activit en Am rique du Nord restent bons. La croissance n gative en Am rique du Nord a t plus que compens e par la croissance en Asie et au Moyen-Orient. Il est encore trop t t pour valuer les volumes et les niveaux de prix possibles pour le d ploiement pr vu de la 5G en Chine, et nous pensons que les marges initiales, difficiles, se transformeront en marges positives sur la dur e de vie des contrats.
Lacquisition de Kathrein et laugmentation des investissements sont les principales raisons pour lesquelles la marge op rationnelle2 de l'activit R seaux a baiss 14,5 % au quatri me trimestre 2019. Cette acquisition est importante au niveau strat gique pour renforcer nos capacit s dans le domaine des antennes. Pendant que nous ex cutons le plan dint gration, la baisse temporaire de la production et des ventes a eu un impact n gatif sur les marges au cours du trimestre. Nous pr voyons une am lioration progressive au fur et mesure de lint gration et du d veloppement dun nouveau portefeuille dantennes, mais nous anticipons une contribution n gative sur lensemble de lann e 2020.
Dans le domaine des Digital Services, nous avons poursuivi lex cution de notre plan de redressement et avons enregistr un r sultat positif2 au quatri me trimestre, malgr limpact n gatif continu des projets critiques restants (provisions de -0,3 milliard de couronnes su doises au quatri me trimestre). Nous constatons un fort d veloppement sur le march , tir par la dynamique de la 5G, qui sest traduit par une bonne croissance des ventes dans le domaine du Packet Core et de l'OSS. La rationalisation du portefeuille va se poursuivre et nous r investissons en R&D dans nos portefeuilles 5G et Cloud.
La r solution des enqu tes de la SEC et du minist re de la justice am ricain a mis en vidence de graves lacunes dans le pass . Les v nements d crits sont totalement inacceptables. Toutefois, la r solution repr sente une tape importante pour Ericsson. Nous nous concentrons d sormais sur le renforcement de lentreprise et nous nous assurons d' tre quip s pour faire face aux enjeux dans le domaine de la conformit (compliance). Nous avons d j mis en place de nombreux changements importants dans notre programme dEthique et de Conformit , y compris lajout de comp tences suppl mentaires en mati re de conformit et dassurance ainsi que le renforcement de notre gestion des tiers, les contr les internes et au niveau de la direction. Ce travail ne sarr tera pas ; notre politique de tol rance z ro exige une surveillance et un renouvellement constants et nous sommes convaincus d tre sur la bonne voie.
Le flux de tr sorerie disponible en 2019, hors fusions et acquisitions, sest lev 7,6 (4,3) milliards de couronnes su doises (SEK), apr s des paiements de 10,1 milliards de SEK li s la r solution des enqu tes de la SEC et du DOJ am ricains. Le conseil dadministration proposera lassembl e g n rale un dividende de 1,50 SEK (1,00) par action. Cette augmentation souligne la confiance du conseil dadministration dans la capacit dEricsson atteindre ses objectifs financiers et se doter dune forte position financi re.
Notre strat gie vise construire une entreprise plus forte sur le long terme et nous ne n gocions pas nos perspectives long terme pour des gains court terme. Nos investissements en R&D sont cl s, tant pour assurer notre leadership technologique que notre leadership en mati re de co ts comp titifs. Cela nous a donn un avantage concurrentiel alors que les op rateurs acc l rent leurs investissements dans la 5G. Nous continuons mettre en uvre notre strat gie recentr e. Les investissements dans la digitalisation de nos processus internes augmenteront les co ts en 2020 et se traduiront par une am lioration de la productivit en 2021 et au-del , ce qui favorisera lam lioration de nos marges. La comp titivit de notre portefeuille et notre position en mati re de co ts, combin s la dynamique actuelle du march , repr sentent une opportunit unique pour nous et nous continuerons inve
