YEHUD, Israel, May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Magal Security Systems, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MAGS) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2016. 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.

RESULTS SUMMARY

  • Revenues of $12.6 million, up 7.2% year-over-year;
  • Gross margin of 49.6%;
  • Operating income of $0.6 million;
  • Net cash and equivalents of $37.5 million at quarter-end;

FIRST QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

Revenues in the first quarter of 2016 were $12.6 million, an increase of 7.2% compared with revenues of $11.8 million in the first quarter of 2015 and a decrease of 34.6% compared with revenues of $19.3 million in the prior quarter. Gross profit in the first quarter of 2016 was $6.2 million, or 49.6% of revenues, compared with gross profit of $4.4 million or 37.7% of revenues in the first quarter of 2015 and a gross profit of $10.9 million, or 56.4% of revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2015. The change in gross margin between quarters is a function of revenue mix between volume of projects executed, and volume of products and services sold.

Operating income in the first quarter of 2016 was $0.6 million compared to an operating loss of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 and operating income of $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Net loss in the first quarter of 2016 was the same as the first quarter of 2015 - $0.5 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to net income of $2.5 million, or $0.15 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2015. The changes in exchange rates versus the US dollar in the first quarter negatively affected the financial expenses, as it reporting financial expenses of $859,000 in the first quarter of 2016 compared to financial income of $675,000 in the first quarter of 2015 and financial income of $138,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015.Cash, short term deposits and restricted deposits, net of bank debt, as of March 31, 2016, was $37.5 million, or $2.30 per share, compared with cash and short term deposits, net of current bank debt, of $31.1 million, or $1.90 per share, at December 31, 2015.

MANAGEMENT COMMENT

Commenting on the results, Mr. Saar Koursh, CEO of Magal, said, "We are pleased with the first quarter results, particularly with the positive operating income in a quarter which historically is seasonally weak. Compared with last year, we grew our top line by 7%, demonstrated a higher than average level of gross margins while maintaining a flat level of expenses."

"Magal has recently seen a number of positive developments. We have seen some important contract wins including orders to secure prisons in West Africa, as well as a Power Utility in Latin America. In addition, beginning in April, we expanded our product portfolio, offering state of the art video surveillance software as a result of our recent acquisition of Aimetis Corp. It is our long-term intention to strengthen the product and service legs of our business, and while it will take time to fully realize the synergies of our recent acquisition, Magal is clearly on the right path," concluded Mr. Koursh.

INVESTORS' CONFERENCE CALL INFORMATION:
