YAHUD, Israel, May 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Magal Security Systems, Ltd. (NASDAQ NMS: MAGS) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2015. Management will hold an investors' conference call later today, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time and 5:00 p.m. Israel time, to discuss the results.
FIRST QUARTER 2015 RESULTS SUMMARY
Revenues for the first quarter of 2015 were $11.8 million, a decrease of 6% compared with revenues of $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2014.
Gross profit in the first quarter of 2015 was $4.4 million, or 37.7% of revenues, an increase of 8.5% compared to gross profit of $4.1 million, or 32.7% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2014. The increase in the gross margin between quarters is a function of the changes in the revenue mix as well as the mix between projects executed and products sold between the quarters.

Cash, short term deposits and restricted deposits, net of bank debt, as of March 31, 2015, were $29.9 million, or $1.83 per share, compared with cash, short term deposits and restricted deposits, net of bank debt of $28.0 million, or $1.73 per share, on December 31, 2014.
MANAGEMENT COMMENT
Commenting on the results, Mr. Saar Koursh, CEO of Magal, said, "Our results are subject to seasonal patterns and the particularly harsh winter weather in North America affected our results in the first quarter. The main highlight of my first few weeks at Magal has been our first major order for a security system combining and integrating both physical as well as logical cyber security."
Continued Mr. Koursh, "I have recently gotten to know the employees and management team at Magal. I have been impressed by the skilled workforce and believe there is untapped inherent potential. Magal has some exciting homeland security technologies and I see inter-company synergies which I intend to explore and improve. My goal ahead is to cement Magal's position as the homeland security provider with leadership in perimeter security technologies."
