SECOND QUARTER 2018 RESULTS

Revenues for the second quarter of 2018 were $25.3 million, a significant increase of 91% compared with revenues of $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2018 was $11.1 million, or 43.6% of revenues, an increase of 66% compared with gross profit of $6.7 million or 50.2% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2017. The change in gross margin between the quarters was a function of the products and projects mix executed during the quarter.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2018 was $2.1 million, a significant improvement compared to an operating loss of $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Financial income, net for the second quarter was $0.5 million compared with financial expenses, net of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Net income in the second quarter of 2018 was $1.7 million, or $0.08 per share, compared with a net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.14 loss per share in the second quarter of 2017.

EBITDA in the second quarter was $2.6 million, or 10.2% of revenue, an improvement compared with negative EBITDA of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Cash, short term deposits and restricted deposits, net of bank debt, as of June 30, 2018, were $45.4 million, or $1.97 per share, compared with cash and short term deposits, net of bank debt, of $52.3 million, or $2.27 per share, at December 31, 2017. The decrease in cash is primarily due to the investment in working capital for scaling up of various upcoming projects.

Commencing in the second quarter, Magal fully consolidated the financial results of its recently acquired E.S.C. Baz subsidiary into its financial results.
