MIND CTI Reports First Quarter 2017 Results

* MIND CTI to Host Annual Meeting of Shareholders

 

Yoqneam, Israel, May 4, 2017 MIND C.T.I. LTD. – (NasdaqGM:MNDO), a leading provider of convergent end-to-end prepaid/postpaid billing and customer care product based solutions for service providers as well as unified communications analytics and call accounting solutions for enterprises, today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

 

The following will summarize our major achievements in the first quarter of 2017 as well as our business. The financial results can be found in the Investor Information section of our website at www.mindcti.com/investor-information and in our Form 6-K.

 

Financial Highlights

 

Revenues were $4.5 million, compared with $4.6 million in the first quarter of 2016, and compared with $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.

 

Operating income was $0.9 million, or 21% of total revenues, compared with $1.1 million, or 25% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2016.

 

Net income was $0.9 million, or $0.05 per share, compared with $1.2 million, or $0.06 per share in the first quarter of 2016.

 

Multiple follow-on orders.

 

Cash flow from operating activities during the quarter was $0.5 million, compared with $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2016. In addition, the cash flow from investing activities includes a down payment of $1.2 million on a one-time transaction described below.

 

As of March 31, 2017 we had 250 employees in our offices, compared with 319 as of March 31, 2016.

 

Monica Iancu, MIND CTI CEO, commented: “To succeed in the age of digital services, carriers need fast and agile ways of digital transformation. We understand our customers’ business, their needs and challenges. We have the teams and the expertise to provide timely upgrades and customizations required to support our customers in the ever changing market place. Competition in our industry is intense. We compete against global billing vendors with greater name recognition. We compete against vendors that offer network equipment as well as billing software and against vendors that focus on specific markets. At all levels, there is severe pricing pressure. We are pleased with our execution of ongoing projects and the recurrent revenue stream. We plan to further enhance the professional services component of our business, to continue investing in technology, seeking to enter new markets and focusing on our profitability targets.”

 

Multiple Follow-on Orders

 

Similar to all other quarters, our valued customers show their appreciation for our technology and support and increase their relationship with us and we receive follow-on orders. This quarter’s follow-on orders include maintenance renewals, agreements to support enhancements related to deployment of LTE networks and support of Voice over LTE (VoLTE), hardware platform upgrades, as well as specific customizations and additional professional services.

 

 

 

 

Sale of a Subsidiary

 

In 2004, when MIND was growing rapidly in Romania, there was no available office space for rent and we decided to buy land and build our own office building. We started the process with buying a suitable piece of land and invested around 230,000 Euro. We deserted that plan at some point as we preferred to focus on our business and were able to locate suitable office space that we rented. The land was owned by our subsidiary, Dirot Comp SRL, a Romanian wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

As now there are many companies extending operations in Romania, the value of the land increased and will probably continue to change. We decided at this point to sell the subsidiary that owned the land for 1.1 million Euro (around $1.2 million).

 

Our cash position as of March 31, 2017 includes the $1.2 million we received as guarantee, in advance of the closing of the transaction. The transaction was concluded in the second quarter of 2017 and the capital gain will be recorded in that quarter. The tax on the capital gain which is estimated to be $0.2 million will be paid in May 2017.

 

Cash Position and Annual Dividend Distribution

 

Our cash position, including long-term available-for-sale securities, was $15.4 million as of March 31, 2017, after the payment of the annual cash dividend and the related withholding taxes and includes the $1.2 million we received as a guarantee as described above.

 

As previously announced, the Board declared on February 23, 2017 a cash dividend of $0.32 per share before withholding tax, which was paid in full in March 2017.

 

The dividend declared and distributed was approximately $6.2 million.

 

Revenue Distribution

 

Revenues in the Americas represented 71%, revenues in Europe represented 20% and revenues in the rest of the world represented 9% of our total revenues.

 

Revenues from customer care and billing software totaled $3.8 million, or 85% of total revenues, while revenues from enterprise call accounting software totaled $0.7 million, or 15% of total revenues.

 

Revenues from licenses were $0.5 million, or 11% of total revenues, while revenues from maintenance and additional services were $4.0 million, or 89% of total revenues.

 

Fluctuation in Taxes

 

On a quarterly basis, we incurred high fluctuation in taxes. For example, the taxes in the first quarter of 2017 were $0.2 million, compared to $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, and compared to $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2016.

 

Taxes include provisioning for income taxes paid in our different locations at very different tax rates.

 

Fluctuations in tax expenses on similar total revenues usually result from differences in intercompany charges among the various quarters. Intercompany charges of the parent company for its subsidiary or among subsidiaries are in accordance with existing transfer pricing study.
