Mr. Dror Sharon, Chief Executive Officer of Magal, commented, "During this time of economic uncertainty we are achieving our strategic goals while managing our costs and maintaining profitability. COVID-19 impacted revenue and new order bookings in the second quarter by limiting travel and face-to-face meetings with prospects and existing clients, crucial for closing new business. Moreover, COVID-19 limitations delayed delivery of orders and execution of some of our projects. Our diversified offering, serving numerous vertical markets in various geographies, has offset the economic disruption in our target verticals of Oil and Gas, Logistics, and Corrections. Despite the COVID-19 impact on the top line this quarter, Magal delivered positive net income and grew EBITDA by 78% on a revenue decrease of 17%. We improved our margin mix by increasing sales of higher-margin Senstar products in the second quarter, which lifted gross margin by almost 20 basis points. Furthermore, our operating income improved due to effective cost controls and lower sales and marketing expenses. We continue to invest in R&D and recently launched Safe Spaces, a new solution that was developed during the second quarter to address the unique public safety and enforcement needs arising from the spread of COVID-19. Magal's strong balance sheet provides a sound platform to execute our long-term strategy to grow revenue, improve profitability and close new M&A opportunities."

Second Quarter 2020 Results

Revenue was $16.4 million compared with revenue of $19.7 million in the second quarter of 2019. Revenue from Magal's Integrated Solutions division (projects) represented approximately 53% of total revenue, while external revenue from the Senstar Products division represented approximately 47% of total revenue. The decline in revenue was primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on projects execution and delivery, as well as a slowdown in product and software orders in certain territories.

Operating expense decreased 21.5% to $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $8.2 million in the prior-year period.
