RISHON LEZION, Israel, May 31, 2016 -- B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. (the "Company", "BOS") (BOSC), a leading Israeli provider of RFID and Mobile solutions and a global provider of Supply Chain solutions to enterprises, today reported its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016.

 

Highlights of the first quarter of 2016 results:

Revenues grew by 38% over the comparable quarter last year.

Net profit amounted to $220,000 as compared to a net loss of $23,000 in the comparable period last year.

Net profit, on a NON GAAP basis, amounted to $314,000 as compared to a net profit of $33,000 in the comparable period last year.

EBITDA amounted to $413,000 as compared to $192,000 in the comparable period last year.

Yuval Viner, BOS' CEO, stated: "We are very pleased with our first quarter's results. Revenues for the first quarter of year 2016 grew by 38%, to approximately $8.1 million, from $5.8 million in the comparable quarter last year. This increase is primarily due to organic growth in both our divisions. Supply Chain division revenues for the first quarter of 2016 grew by 28%, to $4.6 million from $3.6 million in the first quarter of year 2015. The growth was mainly in sales to customers in the Far East and to the Israeli defense industry. RFID and Mobile solutions revenues for the first quarter of 2016 grew by 54%, to $3.5 million from $2.2 million in the first quarter of year 2015. The growth was attributed to increased demand from existing customers for their new and existing logistic centers. In addition, an amount of $0.5 million of revenues is attributed to our acquisition of iDnext Ltd. and its subsidiary, Next-Line Ltd. in January 2016. Our outlook for the year 2016 is an increase in revenues and in profits as compared to 2015."

 

Avidan Zelicovsky, BOS' President, stated: "We are pleased to have achieved a fourth consecutive quarter of net profit on a GAAP basis. We are working extensively to grow our Supply Chain division geographically, mainly in the Far East, and to expand our product offerings."

 

Eyal Cohen, BOS' CFO, stated: "Our last twelve months' EBITDA amounted to $1.25 million and our debt, net of cash and deposits, as of March 31, 2016 amounted to $2.8 million. Going forward, we anticipate a reduction in our debt. During the first quarter of 2016, cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $700,000, mostly due to working capital needs related to the iDnext acquisition."
