Management Commentary - Shlomi Cohen (OTI CEO)

"The third quarter of 2017 marks a significant milestone in our plan to bring OTI to its full potential. Third quarter revenues were $4.7 million. This reflects the quarter to quarter lumpiness as we shift our customer base to purchasers of complete solutions. With this shift, we continue to grow the portion of our sales that derive from recurring revenues and to increase our gross margin."

"A major area of growth is in the ATM vertical, where we continue to increase sales and deployments and expect to reach an installment base of over 10,000 OTI advanced contactless readers in the ATM market globally by the end of 2017. This marks a significant landmark as we complete development and enhancement of our ATM-specific reader product, and we expect to see a ramp-up in ATM orders over the years to come."

"We are similarly optimistic about petroleum product sales through our PetroSmart subsidiary. As a result of long term efforts, we expect to see PetroSmart enter new strategic markets in the coming quarters and complete deliveries to new customers and markets."

"We can see the results of our hard work in our new verticals and markets as we look into our order pipeline for the year to come and continue to believe that we will be able to present a positive adjusted EBITDA in 2017."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains certain non-GAAP measures, namely, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, or adjusted earnings from continuing operations before interest, income tax, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations represents earnings before interest or financing expenses, income tax, depreciation and amortization, and further eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation expense. OTI believes that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations should be considered in evaluating the company's operations since it provides a useful indication of OTI's operating results. This measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for the U.S. GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the U.S. GAP results in the tables below.

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other Federal securities laws. Whenever we use words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate" or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. For example, we are using forward-looking statements when we discuss our expectations regarding our potential, growth, profitability or increasing our sales or margins, new pipeline, opportunities and orders, new customers and markets and a positive adjusted EBITDA in 2017. Because such statements deal with future events and are based on OTI's current expectations, they are subject to various risks and uncertainties and actual results, performance or achievements of OTI could differ materially from those described in or implied by the statements in this press release. Forward-looking statements could be impacted by the effects of the protracted evaluation and validation periods in the U.S. and other markets for contactless payment cards, or new and existing products and our ability to execute production on orders, as well as other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be achieved. Except as otherwise required by law, OTI disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances or otherwise.
