Management Commentary

“I am pleased to announce another quarter of continued operational execution, highlighted by our robust sequential and year-over-year revenue growth,” said Shlomi Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of On Track Innovations. “The third quarter revenue of $6.5 million represents the highest third quarter revenue achieved since 2013. We continued to make notable progress on several key fronts, primarily through successful sales efforts in Japan and the United States.

 

“Alongside success in our existing markets, we continued to expand our efforts to new international markets – as evidenced through the granting of the MIR certification in Russia, where we delivered almost 8,000 advanced contactless readers in the third quarter, as well as the Interac certification in Canada. Both of these certifications are crucial to successfully operating in these countries, allowing our sales team to now focus their efforts on well-suited opportunities abroad.

 

“We also experienced our fourth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA while expanding our recurring revenue base by 19% on an absolute dollar basis to $1.5 million per quarter, compared to $1.2 million in same year ago period. We also reduced our debt by 89% in the quarter when compared to the prior quarter, with total debt now standing at just $0.5 million.

 

“Our ability to maintain a significant technological advantage over the competition while diligently managing our expenses has positioned us well for continued revenue growth and shareholder value creation over the long-term,” concluded Cohen.

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 and other expenses. OTI believes that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations should be considered in evaluating the Company’s operations since it provides a clear indication of the Company’s operating results. This measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for the U.S. GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the U.S. GAAP results in the tables below.
