Management Comment
David Mahlab, Pointer's Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are pleased with our financial results, particularly with the growth in revenue. Just as importantly, we completed the acquisition of Cielo Telecom, a fleet management company in Brazil, which will bring us an additional 16,000 subscribers. Our subscriber base, which is now in excess of 214,000, demonstrates our ability to execute on our long term strategy and will bring us incremental service revenues in the coming quarters.
Mr. Mahlab further noted, "With the new SAAS solutions we have recently launched, together with our enhanced product offering, we are looking at more opportunities in our end markets. In Brazil, we will focus on integrating our new acquisition into our operations, while maintaining our overall growth and profitability. We continue to look for potential acquisitions in our target markets, which will enable us to increase our customer base and further improve our financial performance".

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 adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net income as Non-GAAP financial performance measurements.
We calculate adjusted EBITDA by adding back to net income financial expenses, taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and the effects of non-cash stock-based compensation expenses.
We calculate 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, spin-off related expenses and losses and acquisition related one-time costs.
The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of Non-GAAP charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results.
Adjusted 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. We believe that these non-GAAP measures help investors to understand our current and future operating cash flow and performance, especially as our acquisitions have resulted in amortization and non-cash items that have had a material impact on our GAAP profits. Adjusted 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 our 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.
