ROSH PINA, Israel, March 19, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Track Innovations Ltd. ("OTI") (Nasdaq:OTIV) today reported 2012 full year revenue of $40 million, and cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $18 million as of December 31, 2012.
Since the shareholders extraordinary general meeting held on December 30, 2012, in which eight new directors were elected, OTI's Board of Directors has been evaluating the Company's positioning in its respective markets in order to identify a new strategy that will generate growth and build shareholder value. The focus of these efforts is to identify a new strategic direction for the Company that will better capitalize on its existing IP and the operating segments of its business.
Jeffery E. Eberwein, an OTI director, stated: "The new board of directors has been working diligently to identify and assess all possible solutions to maximize value for OTI's shareholders. We believe the Company's main strength lies in its technological achievements, which has led to the Company establishing an extensive patent and IP portfolio. We would like to build on these strengths by capitalizing on past R&D investments and expanding the global reach with more business development and sales efforts."

Adoption of US GAAP
Due to the recent changes in the composition of the Company's Board of Directors, including the election of eight new directors on December 30, 2012, the Company will no longer qualify as a 'Foreign Private Issuer' as of June 30, 2013 and will be required to report as a domestic issuer starting on January 1, 2014. As reported on May 31, 2012, effective as of January 1, 2012, the Company adopted International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as published by the International Accounting Standards Board. As a domestic issuer, the Company will no longer be entitled to prepare its financial results in accordance with IFRS. Therefore, the Company has decided to adopt US GAAP immediately and accordingly to prepare its financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 in accordance with US GAAP.
Given that the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 were prepared in accordance with US GAAP and not IFRS. The Company will not be required to accompany its financial results for 2012 with a reconciliation or explanation of the transition to US GAAP.
It should be noted that the financial results for the fourth quarter of 2012 were prepared in accordance with US GAAP, while the financial results of the first, second and third quarter of 2012 that were previously published were prepared in accordance with IFRS. Therefore, comparing the quarterly results of 2012 should take the foregoing factors into account.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains certain non-GAAP measures, namely, Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Income Tax, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"). Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest1, income tax, depreciation and amortization, and further eliminates the effect of share-based compensation expense. OTI believes that Adjusted EBITDA 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.
