Magal Security Systems Ltd. Reports First Quarter 2019 Financial Results


YEHUD, Israel, May 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Magal Security Systems, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MAGS) today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Management will hold an investors' conference call later today (at 10:00am Eastern Time) to discuss the results.

FIRST QUARTER 2019 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Revenue of $21.2 million, up 23% year over year;
  • Operating income of $0.5 million versus $33 thousand in same quarter last year;
  • Net loss of $0.7 million
  • EBITDA of $1.0 million, up 96% year-over-year;
  • Quarter-end net cash at $52.8 million;

MANAGEMENT COMMENT

Commenting on the results, Mr. Dror Sharon, CEO of Magal, said, "We are pleased with our performance, generating a solid level of revenues for a first quarter, which traditionally is a seasonally weaker one for Magal. Our revenue growth was driven by a diversified mix of projects as well as products, leading to improved operating profit and EBITDA. Long-term, our goal is to continue to achieve organic growth while pursuing additional growth opportunities."

FIRST QUARTER 2019 RESULTS

Revenues were $21.2 million, an increase of 23% compared with revenues of $17.3 million in the first quarter of 2018.

Revenues from projects represented approximately 63% of total revenues, while revenues from products represented approximately 37% of total revenues. Revenues from projects and from products increased by approximately 21% and 14%, respectively, year over year.

Gross profit was $9 million, or 42.3% of revenues, compared with gross profit of $7.6 million, or 43.8% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2018. The change in gross margin between quarters is a function of the revenue mix in the particular quarter.

Operating income was $0.5 million compared to operating income of $33 thousand in the first quarter of 2018.

Financial expenses were $0.7 million compared to a financial income of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2018. In Israel, Magal's functional currency is the Israeli Shekel (NIS) and the vast majority of Magal's cash deposits are held in US dollars. Because of the sharp appreciation of the NIS against the US dollar during the quarter, the Company recorded a high level of non-cash financial expenses.

Net loss attributable to Magal shareholders' was $0.6 million, or $0.02 per share, compared with a net loss attributable to Magal shareholders' of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share in the first quarter of 2018.

EBITDA was $1.0 million compared with $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2018.

Cash, short term deposits and restricted deposits, net of bank debt, as of March 31, 2019, was $52.8 million, or $2.29 per share, compared with cash and short term deposits, net of bank debt, of $55.0 million, or $2.38 per share, at December 31, 2018.
