("MTI", the "Company" or the "Group")

 

Q1 2024 financial results

 

MTI Wireless Edge Ltd (AIM: MWE), the technology group focused on
comprehensive communication and radio frequency solutions across multiple
sectors, is pleased to announce its financial results for the three-month
period ended 31 March 2024.

 

Financial highlights

 

·    Generated revenues of $11.24m (Q1 2023: $11.28m), a solid start to
the year with new business wins expected to drive revenue growth in Q2 and
later in the year.

·    20% increase in EBITDA* to $1.68m (Q1 2023: $1.39m).

·    Earnings per share increased by 5% to 1.06 US cents (Q1 2023: 1.01 US
cents).

·    133% increase in net cash provided by operating activities to $1.25m
(Q1 2023: $0.54m), contributing to a continued strong financial position with
net cash as at 31 March 2024 of $8.34m (31 December 2023: $8.08m).

 

Operational highlights

 

Antennas

 

·    The Antenna division provides a one stop shop for the sale of 'off
the shelf' flat and parabolic antennas, combined with the provision of
custom-developed antenna solutions to a range of commercial and military
customers.

·    The division also has a growing focus on providing 5G backhaul
antenna solutions to support mobile phone operators as they roll-out their 5G
networks.

·    The division had a good first quarter with strong revenue growth up
13% versus the same period in the prior year, although the product mix held
back profitability which is expected to reverse in Q2 with more profitable
product combinations.

·    Commercial antenna deliveries drove revenue growth in Q1 with
military deliveries below last year. Significant recent orders for military
antennas, together with the current order backlog make it likely this segment
of the market will be strong for the Group during the remainder of the year.

·    5G remains a key market with the automatic beam steering ("ABS")
antenna solution now moving into trial stages with two Tier 1 mobile phone
operators.

·    Sales of the division's 5G backhaul solutions are coming through from
multiple markets, with India still expected to be the largest opportunity in
the nearer term.

 

Water Control & Management

 

·    This division operates under the Mottech brand and provides wireless
control systems to manage irrigation and water distribution for agriculture,
municipal authorities and commercial entities.

·    Mottech's solutions reduce water and power usage for its customers
and allows these customers to generate higher revenues from the higher yields
that result from both an increased number and improved quality of crops
cultivated.

·    Revenues in Q1 2024 softened 16% compared to the same period in 2023,
following the scheduled municipal elections in Israel last year, nevertheless,
profitability increased strongly reflecting increased revenues in higher
margin markets and improved service contract terms.

·    Entering Q2, this division is performing well with a lengthy pipeline
of new business opportunities combined with a healthy backlog of orders.

 

Distribution & Professional Consulting Services

 

·    Operates under the MTI Summit Electronics brand and represents
approximately 40 international suppliers of radio frequency/microwave
components, selling these products to Israeli customers.

·    Expert knowledge of both the international suppliers and customers
enables MTI to also act as a consultant to all parties and assist with
devising complete radio frequency/microwave solutions.

·    Delivered 10% growth in revenues for Q1 2024. Whilst sales from PSK
were 1% lower, sales from the other parts of this division were up 16% with
good growth in profitability.

·    PSK projects were slower to complete due to key personnel being
called up for military service. This impacted margins in the period resulting
in a loss, however, this is expected to reverse and for PSK to move back into
profitability in the year.

 

 

Moni Borovitz, Chief Executive Officer of MTI Wireless Edge, said:

 

"We expect 2024 to be a successful year for the business. In Q1, we delivered
a positive trading performance, but we have not, as yet, felt the full benefit
of the backlog of business that we have contracted or indeed the healthy
pipeline of opportunities we have ahead of us. MTI is therefore well placed
for 2024 and in a strong financial position to respond as opportunities arise.

 

"The conflict with Hamas is deeply saddening for all concerned. The impact on
our business continues to be relatively limited, however, PSK was impacted by
some staff shortages in Q1, but overall, the Group's team has been able to
address any challenges.

 

"Our three divisions all sell their expertise in delivering radio frequency
solutions, each addressing large and growing markets boosted by positive macro
trends. These are the growing global problem of water scarcity, the roll-out
of 5G mobile networks across the world and the increase in defence spending by
governments worldwide.

 

"MTI entered Q2 in a good position and has since announced sizeable contract
wins which have further enhanced the Board's confidence in our ability to
deliver a good performance for the year."

2024.

C.   The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 were
authorized for issue by the board as a whole following their approval on 10
March 2024.

D.  On 24 January 2019, the Company announced a share repurchase program to
conduct market purchases of ordinary shares of par value 0.01 Israeli Shekels
each ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company up to a maximum value of £150,000
(the "Programme"). Thereafter, the board of directors of the Company and the
board of directors of MTI Engineering decided to continue with the Programme
for several further periods. On 13 April 2022, the Company announced that it
would extend the Programme until 31 March 2023, with the Programme having an
increased maximum value of up to £200,000 and with the Programme being
managed by Shore Capital Stockbrokers Limited pursuant to the terms as
announced. On 10 March 2024 the board of directors of the Company and the
board of directors of MTI Engineering decided to extend the Programme
effective from 12 March 2024 until 31 March 2025 and to increase the maximum
value of the Programme up to £700,000, with the intention to hold the
Ordinary Shares purchased for a longer period of time. As at 31 December 2023,
220,000 Ordinary Shares were held in treasury under the Programme, and as at
10 March 2024, 470,000 Ordinary Shares were held in treasury under the
Programme.

E.   On 20 March 2024 at the Company's extraordinary meeting, Mrs. Hani
Lerman was elected as an external non-executive director.

F.   On 7 October 2023 Israel was attacked by the Hamas terror organization
leading to war in the Gaza region. The war has led to a slowdown in the
Israeli economy and if this war continues for a prolonged period, then it may
begin to impact the Company. The wide usage of military reserve personnel,
adverse foreign currency exchange rates and restrictions on access to certain
areas in Israel are risks which may affect the Company if there is a prolonged
period of war. As of the date of this report, and to the best of the Company's
knowledge, the war has not had a significant effect on the Company. The
Company continues to review the effects of the war on its trading as it
believes that if the war continues for a long period of time then the overall
Israeli economy will be effected, and factors including the lack of available
manpower, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates may have an
impact on its trading.
