Q1 2014 Financial Highlights
|
|
·
|
Revenues in the first quarter of 2014 increased 43% to $5.2 million from $3.6 million in the same year-ago period. The significant improvement was mainly driven by NFC readers sold to the U.S market.
|
|
|
·
|
Gross profit in the first quarter of 2014 increased 30% to $2.6 million (50% of revenue) from $2.0 million (55% of revenue) in the same year-ago period.
|
|
|
·
|
Total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2014 were $5.4 million compared to $4.2 million in the same year-ago period. The increase was primarily due to higher sales and marketing expenses designed to accelerate the company’s growth, as well as increased patent-related expenses in connection with the company’s patent monetization strategy.
|
|
|
·
|
Net loss from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2014 totaled $3.0 million or $(0.09) per share. This compares to a net loss from continuing operations of $2.8 million or $(0.08) per share in the same period last year.
|
|
|
·
|
Adjusted EBITDA loss from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2014 totaled $1.7 million, and remained in the same level as the first quarter last year. (see discussion about the presentation of adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, a non-GAAP term, below).

Management Commentary
“In the first quarter, we made strong progress executing on our strategic plan to focus on our core business of cashless payment solutions,” said the company’s CEO Ofer Tziperman. “This was demonstrated by the 43% growth in the quarter, driven by our industry-leading technology and expanded salesforce. Strong demand for our NFC readers in the U.S. and European markets led to the milestone of our 600,000 Saturn Reader unit sold to date, which has accelerated over the last 12 months.
“Given the strong start to the year, it appears we’ve reached an inflection point in terms of our growth and opportunity. We plan to build on this momentum and take advantage of strong industry tailwinds in the cashless payments space.
“Looking ahead, we expect to increase revenue by at least 30% in 2014 and achieve positive adjusted EBITDA on a quarterly basis by the end of Q1 2015, discounting any positive results from our patent monetization activities.”

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 interest1, 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.
