Management Comment
David Mahlab, Pointer's Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are pleased with our results, especially the growth in MRM service revenues in local currency terms and the growth in the subscriber base. While the currency devaluations in many of our markets versus the US dollar have had a significant negative impact on our financial results over the past year, our results demonstrate that the underlying business remains strong and both the growth in revenues in local currency terms and in the subscriber base demonstrate that."
Mr. Mahlab continued, "While it was a long process, we are pleased that the spin-off to our shareholders of the Shagrir business is at the finishing line. This step is an important part of our long term strategy of becoming a focused IOT & MRM company, as it simplifies the overall Pointer business structure and makes the value inherent in our business clearer to investors."
Mr. Mahlab further noted, "Within our MRM technology division, we see many opportunities for future growth. We have launched two new products which are beginning to see market traction, and we continue to invest in our SAAS infrastructure. We are also seeing a renewed positive momentum in Brazil and the growth in our subscriber base is beginning to accelerate, which will enable us to benefit from the operating leverage inherent in our business model. Thus, we believe we are at an interesting inflection point in our development and growth."

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis
Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Pointer uses adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net income as Non-GAAP financial performance measurements.
We calculate adjusted EBITDA by adding back to net income, financial expenses, taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and the effects of non-cash stock-based compensation expenses.
We calculate Non-GAAP net income by adding back to net income, the effects of non-cash stock based compensation expenses, amortization and impairment of long lived assets and non-cash tax expenses.
The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of Non-GAAP charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results.
Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures help investors to understand our current and future operating cash flow and performance, especially as our acquisitions have resulted in amortization and non-cash items that have had a material impact on our GAAP profits. Adjusted EBITDA and non GAAP net income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
