ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Arotech Corporation (NasdaqGM: ARTX), a provider of quality defense and security products for the military, law enforcement and security markets, today reported results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Third Quarter Results

Revenues for the third quarter reached $23.2 million, compared to $21.4 million for the corresponding period in 2012, an increase of 8.2%.

Gross profit for the quarter was $6.4 million, or 27.5% of revenues, compared to $5.0 million, or 23.1% of revenues, for the corresponding period last year, a 4.4 point improvement in the gross margin percentage.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (adjusted EBITDA) for the quarter was $2.2 million, compared to $1.4 million for the corresponding  period in 2012. Arotech believes that information concerning adjusted EBITDA enhances overall understanding of its current financial performance. Arotech computes adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as reflected in the table below.

The Company reported an operating profit for the third quarter of 2013 of $1.4 million, compared to an operating profit of $737,000 for the corresponding period in 2012.

The Company's net income from continuing operations for the third quarter was $861,000, or $0.05 per share, compared to net income of $498,000, or $0.03 per share, for the corresponding period last year.

"We are very happy with our results for the quarter, particularly our continued growth in revenue and solid gross margin of 27.5%. We continue on the path to achieving our strongest ever year in 2013," stated Robert Ehrlich, Chairman and CEO Arotech Corporation. "As a result, we are again increasing the  guidance for 2013, with expectations of full-year revenues growing to between $89 and $90 million and full-year EBITDA increasing to between $6.1 and $6.3 million," concluded Mr. Ehrlich.

First Nine Months Results

Revenues for the first nine months of 2013 reached $67.6 million, compared to $57.9 million for the corresponding period last year, an increase of 16.8%.

Gross profit for the first nine months of 2013 was $18.0 million, or 26.5% of revenues, compared to $12.6 million, or 21.8% of revenues, for the corresponding period last year, a 4.7 point improvement in the gross margin percentage.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (adjusted EBITDA) for the first nine months of 2013 was $6.2 million, compared to $1.8 million for the corresponding period last year. Arotech believes that information concerning adjusted EBITDA enhances overall understanding of its current financial performance. Arotech computes adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as reflected in the table below.

The Company reported an operating profit for the first nine months of 2013 of $3.8 million, compared to an operating loss of $(877,000) for the corresponding period in 2012.

The Company's net income from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2013 was $2.7 million, or $0.18 per share, versus a net loss of $(3.5) million, or $(0.13) per share, for the corresponding period last year.

Backlog

Backlog of orders totaled approximately $74.4 million as of September 30, 2013, $8.7 million ahead of the $65.7 million in backlog reported at the end of June 30, 2013.

Cash Position at Quarter End

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $4.9 million in cash and $528,000 in restricted collateral deposits, as compared to December 31, 2012, when the Company had $1.6 million in cash and $186,000 in restricted collateral deposits.

The Company also had $9.1 million in available, unused bank lines of credit with its main bank as of September 30, 2013, under a $15.0 million credit facility under its FAAC subsidiary, which was secured by the Company's assets and the assets of the Company's other subsidiaries and guaranteed by the Company.

The Company had trade receivables of $13.8 million as of September 30, 2013, compared to $9.6 million as of December 31, 2012. The Company had a current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) of 2.01 as of September 30, 2013 and 1.37 as of December 31, 2012.

This is an increase from the former guidance range of between $87 million and $89 million. Management also expects adjusted EBITDA for 2013 to be in the range of between $6.1 million and $6.3 million, an increase from the formerly expected range of between $4.5 million and $5.0 million.
