Management Commentary

“In the third quarter we achieved profitability both in our continuing operations on a GAAP basis and overall profitability in non-GAAP EBITDA. Moreover, our adjusted EBITDA profit spans the first nine months of 2016. This is a significant accomplishment, given that we have achieved this while aligning our business into high-margin, recurring revenue products and solutions and divesting businesses that are not aligned with our long term growth strategy,” said Shlomi Cohen, OTI CEO. “Profits were driven by double digit growth in revenues, increased gross profits, and reductions in operating expenses.”

 

“Our continued commitment to cost cutting and operational efficiencies decreased operating expenses when compared both to the prior quarter and the year-ago period. The third quarter of 2016 marked the lowest quarterly operating expenses for OTI in more than two years. Focusing resources on our core technologies, we sold our parking business which reduced expenses and freed up cash for reinvestment into our faster growing, higher margin businesses.”

 

“Over the past four quarters, our most important and significant focus has been on moving from being a product company to a leading solutions company in the unattended payment market. Significant new contracts and our corresponding financial improvements reflect this change. During the third quarter we achieved a significant growth in the sale of our cashless readers and received purchase orders for future deliveries in the coming quarters including a letter of intent for the sale of 10,000 contactless readers in Japan, where we expect a larger number of opportunities to develop as a result of our recent receipt of FeliCa certification.”

 

“Looking ahead to what we anticipate will become a multi-billion dollar market in the Internet of Things and wearable payment devices, during the third quarter we made significant progress toward launching Pay Capsule-Flex. One of the smallest payment devices in the world, Pay Capsule-Flex can turn any product and fashion garment into a payment device. We expect to launch our wearable payment ring product in the next few months.”

 

“As a result of our efforts during the last year and our intended continuation of these efforts, we anticipate a stable, long term adjusted EBITDA profitability in the beginning of 2017.”

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 stock-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.
