Micronet Enertec Reports First Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Conference call scheduled for today, May 22 at 9:00 AM ET
Montvale, NJ, May 22, 2017 -Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQCM: MICT), a developer and manufacturer of rugged computers, tablets and computer-based systems for the commercial Mobile Resource Management (MRM) market and for the Aerospace and Defense markets, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
“During the first quarter of 2017, we were awarded contracts for our combined businesses totaling $5.6 million, most of which is scheduled for fulfillment in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2017. Although our revenues declined in the first quarter compared to the same period in 2016, we expect more favorable revenue levels for the balance of 2017 as we deliver on the purchase orders received during the first quarter and book the associated sales. The decrease in sales during the first quarter of 2017 is mainly due to a delay in the Company’s Micronet subsidiary’s new product line.
Micronet had a backlog of $7.3 million as of March 31, 2017 and $9.3 million as of May 15, 2017. Our combined backlog also remains strong at $15.4 million as of March 31, 2017,” stated David Lucatz, Chief Executive Officer of Micronet Enertec Technologies.
First Quarter 2017 Review
| ● | Total revenue decreased 19% to $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2017, as compared to $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2016. Revenues increased by 25% on a sequential quarter-over-quarter basis. | |
| ● | Gross profit margin was 13%, as compared to 32% in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in overall gross margin was related to an increase in cost associated with the introduction of a new line of products at Micronet and engaging in strategic contracts with lower profitability at the Company’s Enertec subsidiary. | |
| ● | Research and development (R&D) expense for the first quarter of 2017 was $533,000, or 10% of sales, compared to $700,000, or 11% of sales, in the first quarter of 2016. |
| ● | Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expense increased by $516,000 to $2.0 million, or 38% of sales, as compared to $1.5 million, or 23% of sales, in the first quarter of 2016. | |
| ● | Net loss attributable to Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. for the first quarter of 2017 was $1,612,000, or ($0.25) per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $339,000, or ($0.06) per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter was $1,448,000 or ($0.23) per basic and diluted share, as compared to $116,000, or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net loss and loss per share is provided in the table at the end of this press release. | |
| ● | The Company reported a loss from continuing operations of $2,091,000 for the first quarter of 2017, as compared to an operating loss of $343,000 in the first quarter of 2016. | |
| ● | At March 31, 2017, the Company reported cash totaling $7.1 million and working capital of $6.6 million. |
Recent Developments
During the first quarter of 2017 Enertec received numerous purchase orders from global Aerospace & Defense contractors. These include:
| ● | $250,000 continuous order for a mobile command and control center for use in rugged and difficult terrains for the control and monitoring of advanced weapons systems. | |
| ● | $470,000 order for the development of a computer-based test and simulation system to ensure the combat readiness of a critical missile system. | |
| ● | $500,000 in orders for the development of a rugged diagnosis and simulation system for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). | |
| ● | $460,000 continuous order for the development of a diagnosis and simulation system for a specific missile system; and | |
| ● | $1,000,000 in contracts for the development and production of advanced automated testing equipment used to automatically diagnose and test faults in integrated circuits, chips, wafers and other electronic components used for mission-critical Aerospace and Defense applications. |
Micronet also received multiple substantial orders during the first quarter of 2017 including:
| ● | $800,000 order for the all-in-one TREQ®-317 rugged Android tablet from a leading American school bus fleet management solutions provider; and | |
| ● | $2,100,000 order from a current customer for the TREQ®-317. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, we provide additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, or non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate our financial performance.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in our business, as they exclude expenses and gains that are not reflective of our ongoing operating results. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.
The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
The non-GAAP adjustments, and the basis for excluding them from non-GAAP financial measures, are outlined below:
| ● | Amortization of acquired intangible assets - We are required to amortize the intangible assets, included in our GAAP financial statements, related to our acquisition of Micronet in 2012 and the Vehicle Business of Beijer in 2014. The amount of an acquisition’s purchase price allocated to intangible assets and term of its related amortization are unique to these transactions. The amortization of acquired intangible assets are non-cash charges. We believe that such changes do not reflect our operational performance. Therefore, we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets to provide investors with a consistent basis for comparing pre- and post-transaction operating results. |
| ● | Stock-based compensation - Stock based compensation consists of share based awards granted to certain individuals. They are non-cash and affected by our historical stock prices which are irrelevant to forward-looking analyses and are not necessarily linked to our operational performance. |
The following table reconciles, for the periods presented, GAAP net loss attributable to Micronet Enertec to non-GAAP net loss attributable to Micronet Enertec and GAAP loss per diluted share attributable to Micronet Enertec to non-GAAP net loss per diluted share attributable to Micronet Enertec:
