Pointer Telocation Reports Q3 2016 Financial Results


ROSH HAAYIN, Israel, Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Pointer Telocation Ltd. (Nasdaq CM: PNTR; TASE: PNTR) - a leading developer, manufacturer and operator of Mobile Resource Management (MRM) services, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2016.

On June 8, 2016 Pointer spun off its Israeli subsidiary, Shagrir Group Vehicle Services Ltd., through which Pointer carried out its road side assistance (RSA) activities and listed Shagrir's shares for trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The results of Shagrir until that date are included in Pointer's results as discontinued operations.

Revenues for the third quarter of 2016 increased 9.3% to $15.9 million as compared to $14.6 million in the third quarter of 2015. In local currency terms, revenues increased by 14%.

Revenues from products in the third quarter of 2016 increased 6% to $5.4 million (34% of revenues) compared to $5.1 million (35% of revenues) in the comparable period of 2015.

Revenues from services in the third quarter of 2016 increased 11% to $10.5 million (66% of revenues) compared to $9.5 million (65% of revenues), in the comparable period of 2015. In local currency terms in the territories where the subsidiaries operate, revenue from services increased by 18%.

Gross profit was $7.8 million (49.2% of revenues) compared to $7.1 million (49% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2015.

Non-GAAP operating income was $1.8 million (11% of revenues), compared to $1.6 million (11% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2015.

Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations was $1.4 million (9% of revenues), compared with $1.3 million (9.2% of revenues).

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $2.0 million, approximately the same as in the third quarter of 2015.  

Management Comment

David Mahlab, Pointer's Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are pleased with our financial results, particularly with the growth in revenue. Just as importantly, we completed the acquisition of Cielo Telecom, a fleet management company in Brazil, which will bring us an additional 16,000 subscribers. Our subscriber base, which is now in excess of 214,000, demonstrates our ability to execute on our long term strategy and will bring us incremental service revenues in the coming quarters.

Mr. Mahlab further noted, "With the new SAAS solutions we have recently launched, together with our enhanced product offering, we are looking at more opportunities in our end markets. In Brazil, we will focus on integrating our new acquisition into our operations, while maintaining our overall growth and profitability. We continue to look for potential acquisitions in our target markets, which will enable us to increase our customer base and further improve our financial performance".

Conference Call Information Pointer Telocation's management will host a conference call today, at 7:00am Pacific Time, 10:00 Eastern Time, 17:00 Israel time.

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Pointer uses adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net income as Non-GAAP financial performance measurements.

We calculate adjusted EBITDA by adding back to net income financial expenses, taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and the effects of non-cash stock-based compensation expenses.

We calculate Non-GAAP net income by adding back to net income the effects of non-cash stock based compensation expenses, amortization and impairment of long lived assets, non-cash tax expenses, spin-off related expenses and losses and acquisition related one-time costs.

The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of Non-GAAP charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results.

Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures help investors to understand our current and future operating cash flow and performance, especially as our acquisitions have resulted in amortization and non-cash items that have had a material impact on our GAAP profits. Adjusted EBITDA and non GAAP net income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
