Press Release
Eltek Reports Net Profit of $125,000 for Third Quarter 2010
PETACH-TIKVA, Israel, November 22, 2010 (NASDAQ:ELTK) - Eltek Ltd., the leading Israeli manufacturer of advanced flex-rigid circuitry solutions, announced today its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Third Quarter 2010:
Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 were $9.0 million, the same as the revenues for the second quarter of 2010 and a decrease of 6% from the $9.6 million revenues reported in the third quarter of 2009.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2010 was $1.4 million (15.2% of revenues), an increase over the gross profit of $1.3 million (14.2% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2010 and similar to the gross profit of $1.4 million (14.9% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2009.
Operating profit for the third quarter of 2010 was $57,000 compared to an operating loss of $203,000 in the second quarter of 2010 and operating profit of $40,000 in the third quarter of 2009.
Net profit for the third quarter of 2010 was $125,000 or $0.02 per fully diluted share, compared with a net loss of $509,000 or ($0.08) per fully diluted share in the second quarter of 2010 and a net loss of $73,000 or ($0.01) per fully diluted share in the third quarter of 2009. The increase in net profit is mainly attributable to reduced financial and selling expenses.
First nine months of 2010:
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $27.5 million, similar to the revenues of $27.5 million, recorded in the first nine months of 2009.
Gross profit for the first nine months of 2010 was $3.7 million (13.4% of revenues), compared to gross profit of $4.4 million (16.0% of revenues) in the first nine months of 2009.
Operating loss for the first nine months of 2010 was $704,000 compared with an operating profit of $86,000 in the first nine months of 2009.
Net loss for the first nine months of 2010 was $1.1 million or ($0.13) per fully diluted share compared with a net loss of $151,000, or ($0.02) per fully diluted share in the first nine months of 2009.
While the Company reported a net profit in the third quarter of 2010, as a result of the losses recorded in the first two quarters of the year the Company’s shareholders’ equity has fallen below the required level under the financial covenants in respect of the Company’s loans and lines of credit with two of its banks. Although compliance with the financial covenants will next be measured based on the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2010, the cumulative losses for the first nine months of 2010 may likely result in non compliance at year end. As a result, accounting standards require the Company to re-classify at this time $1.3 million of its bank debt from long term to short term. Based on past experience, where the company was granted waivers from these banks under similar circumstances, the Company intends to seek waivers from the banks. There can be no assurance that the banks will grant the requested waivers. Failure to successfully obtain the waivers or additional capital may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial position.
In addition to the Company’s efforts to return to profitability, it is actively seeking alternatives to strengthen its capital, either from its shareholders and/or other sources.
EBITDA:
In the quarter ended September 30, 2010, Eltek had EBITDA of $744,000 compared with EBITDA of $465,000 in the second quarter of 2010 and EBITDA of $537,000 in the third quarter of 2009. In the first nine months of 2010, Eltek had EBITDA of $1.2 million compared with EBITDA of $1.6 million in the same period in 2009.
ELTEK uses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is 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. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation between the company's results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statement of Operations
Management Comments:
Arieh Reichart, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eltek commented: "We are glad to report net income this quarter, which was achieved in spite of the lower exchange rate of the US dollar compared to the NIS. Our financial expenses were reduced this quarter, contributing to the net profit, mainly as a result of: (1) the increase in the exchange rate of the Euro compared to the NIS, which resulted in an increase in the value of the receivables payable to us by our European customers; and (2) part of the net loss on hedging transactions which was recorded at the end of the second quarter (due to accounting standards that required us to re-evaluate the value of our open hedging transactions for future periods as of the balance sheet date) was reversed in this quarter.”
