MTS Announces Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results

 

 

Ra’anana, Israel / River Edge, NJ, USA – August 6, 2015 – MTS – Mer Telemanagement Solutions Ltd. (Nasdaq Capital Market: MTSL), a provider of video advertising solutions for online and mobile platforms, telecommunications expense management, and mobility management and enablement, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2015.

 

As previously announced, the closing of the acquisition of Vexigo Ltd. occurred on April 1, 2015 and its results were consolidated in the financial results of MTS as of such date. Vexigo specializes in video advertising solutions for online and mobile platforms, engaging multiple ad formats and interactive ad units with a cutting-edge, in-house optimization platform providing precise targeting in a safe environment for both advertisers and website owners.

 

Revenues for the second quarter of 2015 were $4.8 million, compared with $1.7 million in the same quarter last year and $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2015. Operating loss for the second quarter of 2015 was $170,000, compared with $291,000 in the second quarter of 2014 and $299,000 in the first quarter of 2015. Net loss for the second quarter of 2015 was $248,000 or ($0.03) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $302,000 or ($0.06) per diluted share in the second quarter of 2014 and a net loss of $227,000 or ($0.05) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2015. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding non-recurring M&A expenses related to the Vexigo acquisition, net income for the second quarter was $141,000 or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $302,000 or ($0.06) per diluted share in the second quarter of 2014.

 

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $6.6 million, compared with $3.5 million for the comparable period in 2014. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $475,000 or ($0.08) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $617,000 or ($0.13) per diluted share in the comparable period in 2014. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding non-recurring M&A expenses related to the Vexigo acquisition, the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $51,000 or ($0.01) per diluted share.

 

According to the rules of business combination accounting, the total purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As a result, the Company’s consolidated intangible assets were significantly affected, as well as shareholders equity and the accounting for other payments due to Vexigo's former shareholders. These amounts were recorded based on a preliminary Purchase Price Allocation (PPA).

 

"In the second quarter we successfully integrated Vexigo as a division of MTS. We are continuing to develop our video advertising solutions for online and mobile platforms through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Vexigo Ltd. In addition, we are continuing to strengthen our telecom expense management (TEM) business unit through the shift of TEM customers to the cloud with multi-year service contracts." said Lior Salansky, CEO of MTS. "Vexigo results reflect the shift from online video advertising to mobile video advertising as a result of worldwide growth in mobile content use. The Vexigo line of business, which diversifies our existing portfolio, was responsible for our company returning to profitability during the second quarter of 2015 on a non-GAAP basis. In order to fund our current operations and to execute our business plan, we are currently seeking additional financing and are investigating available alternatives,” concluded Mr. Salansky.
