On Track Innovations Ltd. Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

YOKNEAM, Israel, May 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- On Track Innovations Ltd. ("OTI") (OTCQX: OTIVF) (the "Company" or "OTI"), a global provider of near field communication (NFC) and cashless payment solutions, today provided a business update and announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Management Commentary

Mr. Yehuda Holtzman, OTI's CEO, commented, "I am pleased with the recovery in our revenues in the first quarter, growing by 48% over those of the first quarter last year and also 18% higher than those of the previous quarter. Together with the rest of the management team, we have put in place a strategy which we believe will enable us to return to long term growth, while driving the business to profitability. We look forward to unleashing OTI's inherent potential over the coming quarters." 

Continued Mr. Holtzman, "We wish all those which have been affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic a speedy recovery. We have taken significant steps to protect our global workforce including social distancing at our offices and providing the infrastructure to work-from-home for the majority of our employees. Apart from the change in work practices, we see a number of other impacts on OTI from the pandemic which have impacted us. These include longer lead-times for component procurement, a significant slowdown in Mass Transit activity in Poland as well as a lengthening sale cycle with existing customers. On the other hand, due to the cashless nature of our products that does not require physical contact, we see a broadening increase in leads and interest for our products."

For example, we are using forward-looking statements when we discuss, among others: the Company's strategy, the realization of the Company's potential, and the resumption of the Company's growth and profitability. 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, including those as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Performance or achievements of OTI could differ materially from those described in or implied by the statements in this press release. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements are stated under the captions "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report (Form 10-K) and other known and unknown uncertainties and risk factors including those detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this release, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update forward-looking statements.

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 clear indication of the Company'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. GAAP results in the table below.
