Press Release
 
Eltek Reports 2017 First Quarter Financial Results

·
Revenues of $8.5 million in the first quarter of 2017
·
Gross profit of $485,000
·
Net loss of $814,000

PETACH-TIKVA, Israel, May 17, 2017 - Eltek Ltd. (NASDAQ: ELTK), a global manufacturer and supplier of technologically advanced solutions in the field of printed circuit boards, announced today its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Mr. Yitzhak Nissan, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Our sales in the first quarter were $8.5 million, approximately 1% lower than the first quarter of 2016 excluding Kubatronik, and an approximately 15% increase over the $7.3 million revenues we recorded in the fourth quarter of 2016 (excluding Kubatronik).  We are pleased to report that since the end of the quarter we have noticed revitalization in certain of our customers' activity, which we hope to benefit from during the remainder of the year. The low exchange rate of the US dollar compared to the NIS is a matter of concern to us. Our NIS denominated expenses, such as salaries, building lease, energy, etc., have increased in dollar terms. We are taking actions to: (1) increase incoming orders; (2) continue the increase in manufacturing efficiency; (3) continue attempting to lower raw material purchase prices; and (4) explore different methods of protecting us, as much as possible, against the decrease in the dollar exchange rate. We continue to strive to leverage our marketing and operating capabilities in all areas, and especially in the defense sectors, where we have experienced an increase in the demand for our products. We expect that the steps we are taking will bear fruit later this year, for the benefit of our shareholders.


 
We will request a 180 calendar day extension in order to regain compliance with Nasdaq's requirement that listed securities maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share as set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Mr. Nissan concluded. For additional information regarding this, please see our 6-K published on January 3, 2017

When comparing the results to the first quarter of 2016, please note that the operations of Kubatronik Leiterplatten GmbH were included in Eltek's results during the comparable period in 2016. Therefore, selected financial information is also presented on a proforma basis, excluding Kubatronik's results in Q1-2016.
