Comments of Management
Commenting on the results, Guy Bernstein, CEO of Formula Systems, said: "These outstanding results reflect the strong start to the year made by Formula and its subsidiaries. Matrix reported record-breaking results for the first quarter of 2012, with substantial growth in all its activities, in particular in its core business as a leader in the provision of software solutions and services in Israel. Magic continued its success from 2011, with double-digit growth for the tenth consecutive quarter and very strong performance across the board in all of its regional centers of activity. Magic expects to continue its growth with new releases of its enterprise mobile and cloud-based technology. On January 27, 2012, Formula regained a controlling interest in Sapiens, demonstrating our firm belief in Sapiens' current and future performance. Following successful acquisitions, which have enhanced its product offering and expanded its global reach, Sapiens reported significant growth in the first quarter of 2012. We are confident that we can build on this impressive start to the year to achieve even greater success moving forward."
