ISELIN, N.J., Aug. 9, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Track Innovations Ltd.(OTI) (Nasdaq:OTIV), a global leader in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions for homeland security, payments, petroleum payments and other applications, today announced its consolidated financial results for the first half ended June 30, 2010. Following are various financial figures that compare the first half of 2010 to 2009.

  • Total revenues of $27.8 million, an 86% increase from last year.
     
  • Revenues from Licensing and Transaction Fees of $1.8 million, a 50% increase from last year.
     
  • Gross margin increased to 54% vs. 51% last year.
     
  • Non-GAAP operating expenses of $13 million, a 15% increase compared to $11.2 million last year. GAAP operating expenses of $15.1 million, a 10% increase compared to $13.7 million last year.
     
  • Non-GAAP operating profit of $2.2 million, compared to operating loss of $3.6 million last year. GAAP operating profit of $27,000, compared to operating loss of $6.1 million last year.
     
  • Strong balance sheet with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $35.8 million as of June 30, 2010.
  •  

Oded Bashan, Chairman and CEO of OTI, said: "The financial results for the first half manifest the unique story of OTI: an excellent technology company with solid financial results. We are in a unique strategic position with proven track record, demonstrated growth potential and improved financial results, we are optimistic about the future for OTI. The successful execution of large scale projects strengthens our credibility, provides more opportunities in existing markets and in new ones, and further strengthens our pipeline for the next two to three years."

Mr. Bashan continued: "Our unique position increases the comfort level generated from the improved visibility of revenues and the growing number and size of opportunities we are working on, which enables us to increase our revenue guidance. We expect to maintain a similar level of revenues in the second half of the year, and we therefore increase the earlier provided revenue guidance for 2010 by 15% to $53-$55 million. We expect to maintain the already achieved non-GAAP operating profitability for the remainder of the year."

Discontinued Operations

During the fourth calendar quarter of 2009, the Company signed an agreement for the sale of the assets of OTI's subsidiary Millennium Card's Technology Ltd ("MCT") including the machinery and inlay production IP of OTI to SMARTRAC NV. Results for the discontinued operations have been separated and are presented separately for both 2009 and 2010 statements.  

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, OTI uses non-GAAP measures of gross profit, net income and earnings per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude non-cash equity-based compensation charges related to employees and non employees in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 718 (originally issued as SFAS No. 123(R)) and ASC Subtopic 505-50 - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (formerly EITF 96-18), amortization of intangible assets and results from discontinued operations. OTI management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and enhances the understanding of the Company's on-going economic performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating the business and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors. Reconciliations between GAAP measures and non-GAAP are provided later in this press release.
