MIND CTI Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results

*Board Declares Cash Dividend

* MIND CTI to Host Annual Meeting of Shareholders

 

Yoqneam, Israel, March 8, 2023 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 fourth quarter of 2022 and its full year ended December 31, 2022.

 

The following will summarize our business in the fourth quarter of 2022 and provide a more detailed review of the financial results for the quarter and for the full year. 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.

 

Financial Highlights of Q4 2022

 

Revenues of $5.4 million, compared to $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, with the decrease mainly attributed to the messaging segment.
Operating income of $1.2 million, or 23% of total revenue, compared to $1.6 million, or 27% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Net income of $1.3 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to $1.5 million, or $0.08 per share in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Cash flow from operating activities of $1.4 million, compared to $2.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

Financial Highlights of Full Year 2022

 

Revenues of $21.5 million, compared to $26.3 million in 2021, with the decrease mainly attributed to the messaging segment.
Operating income of $5.5 million, or 25.6% of total revenue, compared to $6.8 million, or 25.9% of total revenue in 2021.
Net income of $5.3 million, or $0.26 per share, compared to $5.9 million, or $0.30 per share in 2021.
Cash flow from operating activities of $4.5 million, compared to $6.9 million in 2021.
Cash position of approximately $17.5 million as of December 31, 2022.

 

Monica Iancu, MIND CTI’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The decline in 2022 results, compared to 2021, was expected. As previously announced, the record revenues in 2021 were driven by temporary activities related to COVID-19 in our messaging segment. In our telecom markets, we experienced a decline mainly due to the continuous market trend of lower prices, low demand and strong competition. We expect a continuation of these unfavorable trends in the foreseeable future. The messaging segment’s business results are difficult to predict, as external factors have a strong impact on both revenues and margins and we expect our business results to present volatility in revenues, margins and cash flows. We currently expect that these trends will result in additional decline in our revenues, having a significant negative impact on our net income.

 

“We continue to pursue M&A opportunities that could be a source of growth and at the same time we continue to invest in new technologies to enhance our offering, to support 5G technologies, to migrate to native cloud solutions and to support carriers’ digital transformation.”

 

Revenue Distribution for Q4 2022

 

Revenues in Europe represented 54% (including the Message Mobile and GTX revenues in Germany that represented 37%), revenues in the Americas represented 34%, and revenues in the rest of the world represented 12% of our total revenues.

 

 

 

 

Revenues from our customer care and billing software were $2.9 million, or 54% of total revenues, revenues from enterprise messaging and payment solutions were $2.0 million, or 37% of our total revenues, and revenues from our enterprise call accounting software were $0.5 million, or 9% of total revenues.

 

Revenues from maintenance and additional services were $5.3 million, or 98% of our total revenues, while revenues from licenses were $0.1 million, or 2% of our total revenues.

 

Revenue Distribution for Full Year 2022

 

Revenues in Europe represented 53% (including the Message Mobile and GTX revenues in Germany that represented 36%), revenues in the Americas represented 40%, and revenues in the rest of the world represented 7% of our total revenues.

 

Revenues from our customer care and billing software were $11.5 million, or 54% of total revenues, revenues from enterprise messaging and payment solutions were $7.6 million, or 35% of our total revenues, and revenues from enterprise call accounting software were $2.4 million, or 11% of our total revenues.

 

Revenues from maintenance and additional services were $20.9 million, or 97% of our total revenues, compared to $24.8 million or 94% of our total revenues in 2021, while revenues from licenses were $0.6 million, or 3% of our total revenues, compared to $1.5 million, or 6% of total revenues in 2021.

 

Follow-on Orders and New Wins in 2022

 

Throughout 2022, we had multiple follow-on orders and two new wins.

 

The first win was in Q2 and the second was in Q4, and both include the implementation of our MINDBill convergent BSS and the migration from incumbent systems to the MINDBill platform. They are expected to be completed by the end of 2023 and during 2024, respectively.

 

The follow-on orders included two significant upgrades of longtime existing customers to our MINDBill version 10 and the first order for our online store / e-commerce module that we developed over the last two years.

 

Dividend Distribution

 

Since July 2003, when we first adopted a dividend policy, we performed 20 distributions, including one special dividend. We continue to believe that our annual dividends enhance shareholder value.

Taking into consideration our dividend policy and the remaining cash after the distribution, our Board of Directors declared on March 8, 2023, a gross dividend of $0.24 per share. The record date for the dividend will be March 22, 2023 and the payment date will be April 6, 2023. Tax will be withheld at a rate of 22%.
