Management Commentary
 
“Our performance in the first quarter began to demonstrate some of the positive financial and operational results from the key strategic initiatives we implemented in the second half of last year,” said oti CEO, Shlomi Cohen. “These measures were designed to optimize our internal processes and manufacturing practices, as well as reduce costs and accelerate growth. With the major phase of the efficiency program now complete, oti is a leaner, more flexible, and more capable organization today than ever before.

“More specifically, these benefits had a direct impact on our financial results, as seen by the meaningful improvement in our gross margins and operating expenses during the quarter. In fact, our total operating expenses were at their lowest level in over two years. The significant decrease in our operating expenses, coupled with the improvement of our gross margin, allowed us to achieve another two-year milestone—the lowest quarterly adjusted EBITDA loss. It’s also important to note that from a topline perspective, our revenue was up on a sequential basis, excluding the one-time license fee we recognized in the prior quarter.

“Our progress executing on our growth plan was evident by the number of new partnerships and wins we secured during the quarter, including a series of significant follow-on orders from two of our major North American customers. On top of this, we now support payment-processing services in the European Union.  We believe this makes us one of the few, if not the only cashless payments solutions provider with full payment processing coverage in both the EU and U.S—the two largest unattended markets. We are seeing increasing demand for our turn-key solution that integrates the cashless payment hardware with telemetry, low-fee payment processing, and cloud-based system management. This is reaffirmed by not only the growing level of interest from our prospective customers, but also from our expanding pipeline of opportunities and the initial purchase orders we have secured for our otiMetry system. We plan to start generating recurring revenue starting in the second quarter.

“Since my appointment as CEO in August, we underwent a transformation in our business model that expanded our focus from purely a product-oriented company to a platform-based company. This included launching a new product line that not only enables point-of-sale transactions, but also facilitates the ongoing support and monitoring of unattended vending operations. We are now able to target a significantly larger addressable market, while providing an opportunity to generate multiple recurring revenue streams.

“Along those lines, our success in 2016 will be measured by our continued ability to penetrate new markets and verticals and to generate recurring revenue, as well as our ability to leverage our relatively fixed cost structure. We are confident the successful execution of this plan will position oti as a growing technology leader for the Internet of Things.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains certain non-GAAP measures, namely, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, or adjusted earnings from continuing operations 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, patent litigation and maintenance expenses and other 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.
