First Quarter 2021 Financial Results

 

Yokneam, Israel – May 13, 2021 – On Track Innovations Ltd. (“OTI”) (OTCQX: OTIVF) (the “Company” or “OTI”), a global provider of near field communication (NFC) and cashless payment solutions, today provided a business update and announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

 

Management Comments

 

Mr. Yehuda Holtzman, OTI’s CEO, commented, “We are pleased with our results, particularly the 18% growth in our Software as a Service (SaaS) revenues when compared to the first quarter of 2020. We are happy with the increased traction we are gaining in key regions and we have added many new customers in the past few months, all of which have provided us with initial sales. A large portion of them have significant long-term growth and recurring revenue potential for OTI. Our new strategy is beginning to bear fruit and we are starting to successfully capture the new opportunities.”

 

Added Mr. Holtzman, “Looking ahead, I believe 2021 will be a year of continuous growth for OTI. I expect that continued revenue growth and efficient operation should allow us to reach profitability during the second half of the year.”

 

Concluded Mr. Holtzman, “We recently launched a rights-offering for all our shareholders to strengthen our balance sheet. We wish to raise enough capital to provide us with ongoing working capital and enable us to execute on our growth strategy.”

 

Following OTI’s sale of our Polish subsidiary, ASEC, in Poland, the financial results of ASEC were included as discontinued operations and all the prior periods’ information has been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.

Safe Harbor / Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release contains express or implied forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other Federal securities laws. Whenever we use words such as “will,” “look forward,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “believe,” “should,” “can” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. For example, we are using forward-looking statements when we discuss, among others: the Company’s strategy, increased traction and opportunities, the Company’s expected growth and profitability, and the result of its rights offering. Because such statements deal with future events and are based on OTI’s current expectations, they are subject to various risks and uncertainties and actual results, including those as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Performance or achievements of OTI could differ materially from those described in or implied by the statements in this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

This press release contains certain non-GAAP measures, namely, adjusted EBITDA loss from continuing operations, or adjusted earnings from continuing operations before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA loss 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. OTI believes that adjusted EBITDA loss 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 table below.
