MTS Announces Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

 

Ra’anana, Israel / River Edge, NJ, USA – November 14, 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 third quarter of 2016.

 

MTS’s revenues for the third quarter of 2016 totaled $3.3 million compared with $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2015 and $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2016. On a GAAP basis, the Company’s net loss for the quarter totaled ($494,000), or ($0.06) per diluted share, compared with ($405,000), or ($0.05) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015. On a non-GAAP basis (as described and reconciled below), net loss for the quarter was ($237,000), or ($0.03) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of ($163,000), or ($0.02) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015.

 

Revenues for the first nine months of 2016 were $10.0 million compared with $10.5 million for the comparable period in 2015. Net loss for the period totaled ($740,000) or ($0.09) per diluted share, compared with ($880,000) or ($0.13) per diluted share in the first nine months of 2015. On a non-GAAP basis (as described and reconciled below), net income for the nine-month period was $57,000 or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with net income of $132,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2015.

 

Commenting on the results, Orey Gilliam, Chief Executive of MTS said, “I am pleased that our Advertising business activity continues to be strong despite the seasonality effect of the third quarter. We continue to make progress in implementing our strategy to enhance Vexigo’s position as a leader in the Video Advertising space. We are moving forward with additional investments in our technology and products to differentiate our services and to automate our operations. We expect to benefit from the market’s winter-holiday strength, and believe in its future growth potential.

 

“Our TEM and Billing division maintained its level of dependable performance by delivering yet another quarter of steady revenues. We continue to successfully execute our strategy of migrating clients to the cloud with multi-year service contracts. We are also moving forward to enhance our telecommunication product lines while exploring the potential for new opportunities with our partners and customers.

 

“Overall, MTS remains focused on our core business lines while closely monitoring and reducing our overall costs in non-profitable activities”, concluded Mr. Gilliam.

 

In accordance with general accepted accounting policy, the Company accounts for a portion of its Video Advertising revenues and the cost of revenues derived from third-party arrangements on a net basis. Video Advertising revenues for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $1.4 million and $4.6 million respectively. If these revenues had been presented on a gross basis, Video Advertising revenues would have increased by approximately $3.1 million to $ 4.5 million in the third quarter of 2016 and by $8.0 million to $ 12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, while gross profit would have remained unchanged.
