CAESAREA, Israel, Aug. 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Elbit Vision Systems Ltd. (OTCBB:EVSNF), a pioneer in the science of camera-based automatic vision inspection for textile fabrics and technical webs, announced today its consolidated financial results for the three month period ending June 30, 2015.

Second Quarter 2015 Results

Revenues for the quarter were $1.92 million, representing an increase of 22% compared to $1.57 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Gross profit for the quarter was $1.12 million, representing 58.5% of revenues, an increase of 40% compared to $800 thousand for the second quarter of 2014, which represented 50.9% of revenues.

Operating income for the quarter was $502 thousand (26.1% of revenue), an increase of 115% compared to $234 thousand (14.9% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2014.

Net income was $493 thousand (25.7% of revenue), compared to $16 thousand (1% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2014.

Sam Cohen, CEO of EVS commented, "We are very pleased with our second quarter results. They demonstrate strong year-over-year growth in revenue and a significant increase in net profits. Strong sales in our core products, IQ-TEX4 and SVA, along with ever increasing iBar sales have provided a consistent and growing backlog of orders, which gives clear visibility into revenues for the coming quarters. Based on this, we are expecting full year 2015 revenues of around $10 million with net income of around $2.3 million. We believe that EVS is now at the inflexion point where several positive trends are converging, and this will lead to significant and accelerating growth for EVS in 2015 and beyond."
