Financial Highlights
First quarter of 2008 continued to reflect the trend started in the second half
of 2007 with increased sales and growth, which resulted in revenues of $13.1
million and profit before tax of $1.3 million.
* Revenues in the first quarter of 2008 increased 3.5% compared to the
previous quarter and 50.3% compared to the first quarter of 2007
* Gross profit was $4.0 million or 30% of revenues compared to $3.7
million or 29% in the previous quarter and compared to $1.8 million or 21%
in the first quarter of 2007
* Operating profit for the first quarter was $1.4 million or 11% of
revenues compared to operating profit of $1.3 million or 10% in the previous
quarter and compared to operating loss of $798 thousands in the first
quarter of 2007
* EBITDA for the first quarter was $2.9 million, the same as in the
previous quarter and 300% increase compared to the first quarter of 2007
* Net Debt (bank loans less cash) decreased to $1.1 million compared to
$3.2 million in December 2007.
CEO Statement:
The first quarter reflects the continuation of the trend started last year with
growth in revenues and profit. We are focused on increasing our revenues, mainly
in our core business of internet backbone connectivity.
New deals during the first quarter:
* In March 2008 we announced renewal of capacity agreement over the Middle
East and Central Asia. During the first quarter we succeeded to sell most of
this capacity.
* New contract to provide connectivity to a large international customer
with branches across Africa for an annual value of $400 thousands.
* New order from an existing customer in West Africa for an upgrade with
an annual value of $400 thousands
* During Q1 we also started deployment of a multi country deal with a
leading African ISP. Expected annual value is approximately $600 thousands
These deals were partially recognized in Q1 and we expect full impact of them in
Q2.
Other business developments during the first quarter include:
* First quarter results included a significant increase in sales of NetApp
products. Following changes in Netapp reseller organization we will not
continue to be a direct reseller of NetApp in East Africa at the beginning
of Q3. We are evaluating the continuation of this line of products based on
the expected profit in the new business model in other territories. This may
negatively affect our revenues from this business line.
* In March 2008 we announced our intention to invest in a fiber optic
cable project in Kenya, "TEAMS". Due to changes in Kenyan regulations we
will not hold shares directly in the Kenyan fiber cable and we are
evaluating alternatives to purchase future capacity in TEAMS.
* During the last quarter of 2007 we received an order for a turn-key
project to establish an international satellite based communication network
with coverage over 4 continents. The contract is from a customer in Asia for
a total consideration of $3.5 million for a turnkey project including
ongoing service and network operation for two years. We expect major part of
the installations to end during Q2 (approximately $2.0 million recognized
revenues).
We are confident that our continued focus on profit will bring further results,
and will build a solid ground for the company to fulfill its strategic goals.
