 Press Release
 
 
Eltek Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2010
Financial Results

Will issue first quarter 2011 operating  results, reporting
profitable operations later  today
 
PETACH-TIKVA, Israel, May 31, 2011 (NASDAQ:ELTK) - Eltek Ltd., the leading Israeli manufacturer of advanced flex-rigid circuitry solutions, announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
Revenues for  the year ended December 31, 2010 were $37.5 million, a 2.9% increase over 2009 revenues of $36.4 million.

Gross profit for 2010 was $4.8 million (12.9% of revenues) compared to gross profit of $5.6 million (15.3% of revenues) in 2009.  Gross profit margins decreased despite the increase in revenues, mainly due to the appreciation of the NIS against the U.S. dollar in 2010, as a result of which the U.S. dollar value of the Company’s NIS denominated costs increased.

Operating loss for 2010 was $1.2 million compared to an operating loss of $456,000 in 2009.

Net loss for 2010 was $1.7 million or ($0.26) per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $880,000 or ($0.13) per fully diluted share in the 2009.

 
 

 
 
 
Fourth Quarter 2010:
 
Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 were $10.0 million, an increase of 11.7% compared to the revenues of $9.0 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2009. 

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $1.1 million (11.3% of revenues), similar to gross profit of $1.2 million (13% of revenues) in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $504,000 compared with an operating loss of $542,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $655,000 or ($0.10) per fully diluted share, compared with a net loss of $729,000 or ($0.11) per fully diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2009.
 
EBITDA:
 
In the quarter ended December 31, 2010, Eltek had negative EBITDA of $264,000 compared with EBITDA of $537,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009. Eltek’s EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $960,000 compared with EBITDA of $1.6 million 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
 
 
 

 
 
 
As of December 31, 2010, the Company was not in compliance with certain of its financial covenants in respect of its credit facilities and long-term debt with its banks. However, in May 2011, one of the banks modified the covenant terms, reducing the requirements to a new compliance level effective from the December 31, 2010, while another bank granted the Company a waiver, stating that the bank would not take any measures against it arising from the breach of the covenants before the release of its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2011, at which time the Company must return to compliance. The Company has initiated discussions with this bank in order to modify the financial covenants and to agree on terms which the Company believes it will be able to meet. As a result of the uncertainty regarding the successful completion of these discussions and of returning to compliance at December 31, 2011, the accounting standards require the Company to re-classify its debt from long term to short term debt at March 31, 2011 and until an agreement on new covenant terms is reached, and compliance with such new terms is anticipated.
 
There can be no assurance that the Company will return to compliance or new covenant terms will be agreed upon with the bank. Failure to reach an agreement on new covenant terms or in obtaining additional financing, if required, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial position.

Management Comments:
 
Arieh Reichart, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eltek commented: "In the fourth quarter of 2010, we continued with our manufacturing efficiency improvements program according to plan, which was an important factor in our achieving increased revenues and net profit of $788,000 in the first quarter of 2011.”
