Q3 2014 Financial Details
Revenues decreased 4% to $5.3 million from $5.5 million in the same year-ago period, primarily due to lower petroleum segment revenues and certain delayed NFC reader sales.
Gross profit was $2.6 million (50% of revenue) compared to $3.0 million (55% of revenue) in the same year-ago period. The decrease was primarily due to decreased revenues and a greater mix of lower margin product sales.
Operating expenses totaled $4.8 million compared to $218,000 in the same year-ago period. Q3 2013 operating expenses were offset by $4.3 million in ‘other operating income’ due to a write-off of provisions for former executive terminations following a settlement. Excluding the ‘other operating income’ in the year-ago period, Q3 2014 operating expenses increased 7% compared to $4.5 million in Q3 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to higher non-cash stock-based compensation, as well as continued investment in sales and marketing resources related to the company’s sales growth initiatives in new and existing markets.
Net loss from continuing operations totaled $2.3 million or $(0.07) per share. This compares to net income from continuing operations of $2.6 million or $0.08 per share in Q3 1013, which includes the aforementioned $4.3 million in ‘other operating income.’
Adjusted EBITDA loss from continuing operations totaled $1.5 million compared to an adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $3.5 million in the same year-ago period (see discussion about the presentation of adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, a non-GAAP financial measure, below).
At quarter-end, cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $9.6 million.
Nine-Month 2014 Financial Details
Revenues increased 29% to $17.6 million from $13.6 million in the same year-ago period. The improvement was driven by an increase in retail segment sales of the company’s NFC readers in the U.S. market.
Gross profit increased 12% to $8.5 million (49% of revenue) from $7.6 million (56% of revenue) in the same year-ago period. The increase was primarily due to the higher revenues compared to the nine-month period last year, offset by a less favorable revenue mix.
Operating expenses totaled $15.5 million compared to $9.5 million in the same year-ago period. The increase was primarily due the $4.3 million in ‘other operating income’ in Q3 2013, and higher sales and marketing expenses designed to accelerate growth, partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses.
Net loss from continuing operations totaled $7.6 million or $(0.23) per share compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $2.8 million or $(0.09) per share in the same year-ago period.
Adjusted EBITDA loss from continuing operations totaled $4.2 million compared to an adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $22,000 in the same year-ago period.
Management Commentary
“These are exciting times for the cashless payment industry and especially for oti,” said the company’s CEO, Ofer Tziperman. “A long anticipated inflection point in the NFC payment market was spurred by the introduction of NFC-enabled Apple iPhones and the Apple Watch in September, and then the launch of Apple Pay in October. Apple's adoption of NFC and our 29% growth in nine-month revenues are both strong affirmations of oti’s long-term vision and investment in NFC technology.
“However, given the timing of Apple’s announcements, some of our customer purchase decisions were delayed, as they awaited the confirmation of industry rumors of Apple’s adoption of NFC and then around uncertainties over compatibility with Apple Pay until it was officially launch in October. So, while the impact of Apple’s adoption of NFC is extraordinarily favorable to our growth and profitability, its short-term impact requires us to adjust our expectations for fiscal 2014. Our outlook is now 10% revenue growth in 2014, with our expected crossover to positive adjusted EBITDA pushed to Q3 2015.
“To be sure, the stage is now set for a phenomenal 2015, as I cannot overestimate the overwhelmingly positive change in the cashless payment industry that has occurred since Apple introduced its NFC-based products and solutions. Industry analysts and several of our customers report that Apple’s decision to use NFC to support Apple Pay was the final ‘missing piece to the NFC puzzle.’ Over the last few weeks, this has resulted in an unprecedented level of interest for our NFC readers and WAVE device, and we are already seeing an expanding sales pipeline in 2015.
"From an IP monetization perspective, we are very encouraged with the broad adoption of NFC in the mobile payment industry and are aggressively evaluating all of our options with our entire IP portfolio."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains certain non-GAAP measures, namely, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operation, or adjusted earnings from continuing operation before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations represents earnings before interest or financing expenses, income tax, depreciation and amortization, and further eliminates the effect of share-based compensation expense and patent litigation and maintenance expenses. OTI believes that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations should be considered in evaluating the company's operations since it provides a clearer indication of OTI’s operating results. This measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with US GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for the US GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the US GAAP results in the tables below.
