- Return to Operating Profitability during the second quarter of 2016 -

Ra’anana, Israel / River Edge, NJ, USA – August 11, 2016 – Mer Telemanagement Solutions Ltd. (MTS or the Company) (Nasdaq Capital Market: MTSL), a global provider of software solutions for online video advertising and telecommunications management, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2016.

MTS’s revenues for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $3.4 million, compared with $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2016. On a GAAP basis, the Company recorded a net loss for the second quarter of $(22,000), or $(0.00) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $(248,000), or $(0.03) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015, and a net loss of ($224,000) or ($0.03) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2016. On a non-GAAP basis (as described and reconciled below), the Company posted net income for the second quarter of $262,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with net income of $409,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $6.7 million compared with $6.6 million for the comparable period in 2015. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $(246,000) or ($0.03) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $(475,000) or ($0.08) per diluted share in the comparable period in 2015. On a non-GAAP basis (as described and reconciled below), net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $294,000 or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with net income of $278,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2015.

Commenting on the results, Orey Gilliam, Chief Executive of MTS, said, “We saw an improvement in our financial results as we continue to invest in our technology to enhance our position in our markets.

“As in previous quarters, we invested in advertising technology in the second quarter and moved forward with our plan to establish Vexigo as a leader in the Video Advertising space. We are pleased to report increased video advertising activity and growing business around Vexigo’s Visualizr, its mobile content aggregation and monetization solution. Our current focus is to build out Vexigo’s products and technology.

“The telecommunications side of our business continues to exhibit good performance, and we have added several new TEM and cloud customers with long-term contracts. We are currently working on enhancing our product lines and are exploring additional technology expense management opportunities with our partners and customers to address their evolving needs.” concluded Gilliam.

As previously announced, during the first quarter, Vexigo’s former shareholders (who are now shareholders of MTS), agreed to extend the schedule of outstanding payments due them in order to improve the Company’s working capital. On May 16, 2016, the Company’s shareholders approved a $700,000 equity investment in the Company by the former Vexigo shareholders, two additional members of the Company’s Board and the Company’s then acting CEO. Soon after the investment was completed, the Company repaid $500,000 of the sum due to the former Vexigo Shareholders.

In accordance with standard industry accounting policies, the Company accounts for a portion of the Video Advertising revenues and cost of revenues derived from third-party arrangements on a net basis. If these revenues had been presented on a gross basis, Video Advertising revenues and cost of revenues would have increased by approximately $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, while gross profit would have remained unchanged. If such revenues and cost of revenues were presented on a gross basis this would increase both Video Advertising revenues and cost of revenues by $305 thousand for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 after the acquisition of Vexigo on April 1, 2015, with no change to gross profit.
