Management Comment
David Mahlab, Pointer's Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are very pleased with our financial results, showing very strong revenue growth, record EBITDA and strong margins across the board. The integration of our recent acquisition in Brazil of Cielo's operation is progressing as planned and we believe that we will enjoy the full benefit of the cost synergies in 2018. In South Africa, we recently announced an acquisition, in line with our growth strategy, which we expect will also contribute positively in the coming quarters."
Mr. Mahlab continued, "We have recently seen increased interest in Cellotrack Nano, our new solution for Mobile Asset Management. We have a number of prospects undergoing evaluations and we believe it will be a long-term growth engine for Pointer. We are also pleased with the increased penetration of our connected car solution following our intensive R&D and marketing efforts over the past few quarters. Pointer's continued solid results represent the ongoing successful execution of our long-term growth strategy."

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis
Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Pointer uses EBITDA and Non-GAAP net income as Non-GAAP financial performance measurements.
Pointer calculates EBITDA by adding back to net income financial expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets.
Pointer calculates Non-GAAP net income by adding back to net income the effects of non-cash stock based compensation expenses, amortization and impairment of long lived assets, non-cash tax expenses, other expenses of retirement costs, spin-off related expenses and losses and acquisition related one-time costs.
The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of the Company's performance exclusive of Non-GAAP charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company's core operating results.
EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures help investors to understand the Company's current and future operating cash flow and performance, especially as the Company's acquisitions have resulted in amortization and non-cash items that have had a material impact on the Company's GAAP profits. EBITDA and non GAAP net income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
