MANAGEMENT COMMENT
Commenting on the results, Mr. Dror Sharon, CEO of Magal, said, "The third quarter results demonstrate that the investments and changes in our development and sales teams, are improving our financial results, as evidenced by the improvement in the profitability margins. Additionally, we are pleased to have demonstrated a strong positive cash flow from operations."
Continued Mr. Sharon, "We have made some recent improvements to the structure of Magal's sales team, making the team more customer and market centric by aligning them towards focused market verticals. Magal's core vertical focus is on the areas of oil and gas, logistics and critical infrastructure. With this new sales team structure, we aim to better penetrate and support these specific target markets and ultimately build closer relationships with potential as well as existing customers. In the past few months, we are seeing the initial fruits of this strategy with increased interest and new initial orders for our products and services. We see significant potential for growing revenues as we gain traction in these target verticals in 2020 and beyond."
THIRD QUARTER 2019 RESULTS
Revenues were $22.2 million compared with revenues of $23.9 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Revenues from projects represented approximately 61% of total revenues, while revenues from products represented approximately 39% of total revenues. Revenues from products increased by 3% year over year while revenues from projects decreased by 13% year over year.
Gross profit was $10.5 million, or 47.5% of revenues, compared with gross profit of $11.1 million, or 46.4% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2018. The higher gross margin in the quarter was due to the sales mix favoring higher margin products and services. In addition, several maintenance contracts orders which were delayed from the previous quarter were received this quarter, with a positive effect on the gross margin for this quarter.
Operating income in the quarter was $2.5 million compared to operating income of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Financial expenses were $0.6 million compared to financial income of $52 thousand in the third quarter of 2018. The decrease is mainly due to the strong depreciation of the US dollar against the New Israeli Shekel during the third quarter, lowering the value of the Company's US dollar denominated monetary assets and thus leading to a higher level of non-cash financial expenses.
Net income attributable to Magal's shareholders was $1.3 million, or $0.06 per share, compared with net income of $1.5 million, or $0.06 per share in the third quarter of 2018.
EBITDA was $3.1 million compared with $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Cash, short term deposits and restricted deposits, net of bank debt, as of September 30, 2019, was $54.6 million, or $2.36 per share, compared with cash and short term deposits, net of bank debt, of $55.0 million, or $2.38 per share, at December 31, 2018.
