MIND CTI Reports Third Quarter 2019 Results

 

Yoqneam, Israel, November 12, 2019 MIND C.T.I. LTD. – (NasdaqGM: MNDO), a leading provider of convergent end-to-end prepaid/postpaid billing and customer care product based solutions for service providers, unified communications analytics and call accounting solutions for enterprises as well as enterprise messaging solutions, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2019.

 

The following will summarize our major achievements in the third quarter of 2019, as well as our business. Full financial results can be found in the Company News section of our website at http://www.mindcti.com/company/news/ and in our Form 6-K.

 

Q3 2019 Financial Highlights

 

Revenues were $6.1 million, compared to $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2018, with the increase attributed to the acquisition of Message Mobile GmbH in March 2019, which generated revenues of approximately $2.0 million during the quarter.

 

Operating income was $1.3 million, compared to $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2018.

 

Net income was $1.2 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.07 per share in the third quarter of 2018.

 

Cash flow from operating activities was $2.0 million, compared to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2019. The strong cash flow is attributable to large payments received upon completion of final project milestones.

 

Two new small wins.

 

Cash position was $14.0 million as of September 30, 2019.

 

Nine Months Financial Highlights

 

Revenues were $16.6 million, compared to $13.7 million in the first nine months of 2018, with the increase attributed to the acquisition of Message Mobile GmbH in March 2019, which generated revenues of approximately $4.0 million during the last two quarters.

 

Operating income was $3.8 million, or 23% of total revenues, compared to $3.9 million, or 28% of total revenues in the first nine months of 2018, with the decrease in operating income margin primarily reflecting the lower margins in the acquired business.

 

Net income was $3.7 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to $3.7 million, or $0.19 per share in the first nine months of 2018.

 

Cash flow from operating activities in the first nine months of 2019 was $5.4 million, compared to $3.9 million in the first nine months of 2018.

 

As of September 30, 2019, we had 220 employees, similar to September 30, 2018 and compared to 229 as of June 30, 2019.

 

Monica Iancu, MIND CTI CEO, commented: “Our telecom markets remain challenging with carriers consolidation, multiple small providers disappearance and continuously decreasing budgets, as described at length in previous press releases. While we succeeded to secure new wins, they are small in size and as we expected, they are structured as SaaS, with low down payments for deployment services but multi-year commitments. We are excited with the new partnership described below, as we believe that small U.S. rural carriers providing fixed wireless broadband or any other services, need one convergent platform that helps them manage their business efficiently with fully automated processes.

“In the messaging field, we focus on the integration of the two companies we acquired in Germany and continue to examine the potential growth in this area, including through additional acquisitions. As mentioned in the past, given our strong cash position and our experienced organization, we believe that we have the required resources to respond to market needs, continue to invest in our core business, bringing permanent value to existing customers and maintaining up-to-date technology and at the same time focus on targeting potential acquisitions that could benefit the company’s growth.”

 

Revenue Distribution for Q3 2019

 

Revenues in the Americas represented 45%, revenues in Europe represented 46% (including the Message Mobile revenues in Germany that represented 34%) and revenues in the rest of the world represented 9% of our total revenues.

 

Revenues from customer care and billing software totaled $3.4 million, or 56% of total revenues, revenues from enterprise messaging and payment solutions were $2.0 million, or 33% of total revenues, and revenues from enterprise call accounting software totaled $0.7 million, or 11% of our total revenues.

 

Revenues from licenses were $0.7 million, or 11.5% of total revenues, while revenues from maintenance and additional services were $5.4 million, or 88.5% of our total revenues.

 

New Wins

 

One new win is with Defiance Holdings (an Ohio limited liability company) to support their four carriers, including a CLEC, (QualStar Communications, Inc.), with a competitive local phone service, a full-service fixed wireless Internet Service Provider (MetaLINK Technologies, Inc.) and an affiliated LEC (Ayersville Telephone Co.) providing residential, business, DSL and FTTH lines. Each of these carriers provide different services, including fixed wireless broadband, phone and Internet services, fiber transport, co-location, web hosting and hosted phone services. They will all be supported within MIND’s multi-tenant platform.

 

In addition to providing billing and customer care software to Defiance Holdings, MIND has partnered with Defiance Holdings to support additional communication service providers on the multi-tenant billing and customer care platform. New carriers can be onboarded within 60 days and achieve the benefits of MIND’s full automation of business processes, reach a 360-degree customer view and improve time to market for new marketing initiatives.

 

Another new small win is with a telecommunication service provider in the Caribbean Islands. Established in 1976, this government-owned organization provides a variety of telecommunication products and services to its local clients. This company selected MIND to provide a convergent Billing and Customer Care solution for its residential and business customers.

 

Update on Acquisitions

 

As previously announced, we believe that messaging needs are expanding worldwide, be it in traditional text (SMS) or in instant messaging and we continue targeting potential acquisitions that could benefit the company’s growth.

 

Following our first acquisition in messaging in March 2019 in Germany, we decided to focus in the next few quarters on the integration of Message Mobile as well as on exploring growth through consolidation with additional targets, resulting in our acquisition of GTX GmbH in the third quarter of 2019.

 

GTX offers global SMS services for B-2-B customers, providing business partners a robust and easy-to-use system to send SMS to end-users at the best possible quality and attractive pricing, acting as a one-stop-platform for clients aiming to extend their messaging activities on different channels, e.g. WhatsApp, Chatbot on Messenger and Rich Communication Services (RCS).
