- EBITDA growth of 15% to $3.0 million;
- Gross margin of 34.1% versus 31.3% last year;

Pointer Telocation Ltd. (Nasdaq CM: PNTR) - a leading developer, manufacturer and operator of Mobile Resource Management (MRM) and roadside assistance services for the automotive industry, announced today its financial results for the third quarter of 2014.
Financial Highlights
Revenues: Pointer's revenue for the third quarter of 2014 increased 5.9% to $25.8 million, compared to $24.4 million in the third quarter of 2013.
International activities for the third quarter of 2014 were 32% of total revenues compared to 28% in the same period in 2013.
Pointer's revenues from services in the third quarter of 2014 increased 20% to $18.2 million (71% of revenues) compared to $15.2 million (62% of revenues), in the comparable period of 2013.
Gross Profit: In the third quarter of 2014, gross profit was $8.8 million (34.1% of revenues) compared to $7.6 million (31.3% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2013. Gross margin from products was 42.5% versus 39.1% in the third quarter last year. Gross margin from services was 30.6% versus 26.5% in the quarter last year.
Operating Income: Operating income increased 40% to $2.1 million (8.3% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $1.5 million (6.3% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2013. Operating income included an 'other income' of $0.3 million related to our previously announced acquisition in South Africa.
Financial expenses were $0.9 million compared with $0.2 million in the third quarter of last year. The increase was primarily as a result of the devaluation of Israeli Shekel denominated bank deposits due to the change in the US Dollar-Israel Shekel exchange rate during the third quarter of 2014.
Net Income: Pointer recorded net income of $0.9 million or $0.14 per share in the third quarter of 2014, at a similar level to that of the third quarter of 2013, despite the financial expenses increase as mentioned above.
Non GAAP net income: Pointer recorded non-GAAP net income of $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2014, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA: Pointer's adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2014 was $3.0 million, an increase of 15% compared to the $2.6 million reported in the third quarter of 2013.
Management Comment
David Mahlab, Pointer's Chief Executive Officer, commented on the results: "We are pleased with our third quarter results, in particular with our strong growth in service revenue and the growth of international revenue portion of the overall sales. We are also happy with the improvement in our gross and operating margins. Our EBITDA growth of 15% puts us at $10 million in EBITDA so far this year, and demonstrates the success of our ongoing strategy."
Continued Mr. Mahlab, "We grew our MRM service customer base by approximately 20% over the past year, and I expect that our service revenues will continue to grow over the coming year."

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis.
Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Pointer uses adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net income as Non-GAAP financial performance measurements.
We calculate adjusted EBITDA by adding back to net income, net loss from discontinued operations, financial expenses, taxes, depreciation, the effects of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization and non-cash impairment of goodwill and intangible assets.
We calculate Non-GAAP net income by adding back to net income, net loss from discontinued operations, the effects of non-cash stock based compensation expenses, amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, non-cash tax expenses resulting from timing differences relating to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and goodwill and the devaluation of Israeli shekel denominated bank deposits based on the US dollar-Israel Shekel exchange rate.
The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of Non-GAAP charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results.
Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net income are provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. We believe that these Non-GAAP measures help investors to understand our current and future operating cash flow and performance, especially as our acquisitions have resulted in amortization and non-cash items that have had a material impact on our GAAP profits. Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
