Q1 2020 Financial Results

MTI Wireless Edge Ltd (AIM: MWE), the technology group focused on comprehensive communication and radio frequency solutions across multiple sectors, is pleased today to announce its financial results for the three month period ended 31 March 2020.

Financial highlights

·    Solid revenue growth delivered, up by 5% to $9.56m (Q1 2019: $9.08m)

·    Increasing scale and improved profit margins, led to a 40% increase in profit from operations to $0.84m (Q1 2019: $0.6m)

·    Finance expenses in Q1 were higher than typical, as a result of certain significant currency exchange fluctuations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with some of this effect having reversed to date 

·    Earnings per share increased by 4% to 0.67 US cents (Q1 2019: 0.64 US cents)

·    Solid generation of cash from operations of $1.3m (Q1 2019: $1.3m), increasing net cash to $8.6m at 31 March 2020 (31 March 2019: $5.25m, 31 December 2019: $7.7m)

·    2019 dividend of $0.02 per share (2018 dividend: $0.015 per share) paid on 10 April 2020

Operational highlights

·    Good order book and pipeline of opportunities across all three of the Company's divisions

·    New customers for Mottech's water management solutions from China, a key market for future expansion

·    Substantial demand for mobile usage and connectivity bodes well for MTI's 5G backhaul antenna solution

·    MTI Summit continued to perform well as we continue seeing increased demand for our solutions from the Israeli market and from our St Petersburg office

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

"I am extremely pleased to report that during Q1 we delivered growth consistent with previous years. We believe that technology companies will be at the forefront of the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly those such as our antenna division, as our end customers look to new technology, such as 5G, to increase their network data capacity to meet the demands of flexible and remote working. However, it is hard to predict the speed of the recovery as travel and health restrictions are impacting on our supply chain as well as our customers' ability to upgrade their data networks and installations. Our management team are very focused on: i) mitigating these risks as we seek to duplicate suppliers so that we are not reliant on one particular company or country; and ii) working closely with our customers to understand their plans.

Overall, the combination of our strong balance sheet and the market outlook for our industry, makes us confident we will weather the COVID-19 storm and be well placed to participate in the economic recovery. In terms of 2020, we remain cautious as we navigate these short term economic challenges and whilst currently our results and the order book supports our budget planning for 2020, we will carefully monitor our financial progress throughout the year, and update the market accordingly.

As of the date of this report, we have resumed working in most of our facilities (whilst adhering to the new health requirements and regulations) and we are seeing the majority of our markets recover although there are still significant challenges. Most importantly, none of our employees or their families were infected by COVID-19.

With these factors in mind, below is a short review of each of our three divisions:

The antenna division, which sells antennas and custom developed antenna solutions, has exciting opportunities in the future sales of its 5G backhaul antenna solutions to support mobile phone operators roll-out their 5G networks. While COVID-19 has generally had a negative impact on businesses this has not been the case for the telecom industry. Mobile operators are experiencing the highest ever demand for bandwidth as the western world switches to working and learning from home. The change in telecom usage that was expected to occur over a period of years has occurred in just weeks and provided 5G with significant impetus.

The wireless water management division continued to see good demand in markets coming out from lockdowns and we are confident that the need for better control over water and power resources, food production traceability, lower costs and better yields hasn't gone away. We announced in April 2020 a collection of new contracts won in China and it is encouraging to see this key market for Mottech re-open.

The distribution business continued to make good progress as the bigger part of this operation is based in Israel and can be managed and processed remotely. We continue seeing increased demand for our products and solutions in Israel and in our St Petersburg office, where we had a strong start for 2020 with a US$1.5 million contract. We are now waiting for the Russian market to resume and enable MTI Summit to capitalise on the strong start it made in this market.

Overall, we are cautiously optimistic for MTI's prospects in 2020. Looking further ahead, we confidently believe the Company's clear focus on providing radio frequency solutions coupled to being diversified across several markets and geographies positions us well to continue to grow and expand through a mix of acquisition led and organic growth."

Note 5 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:

A.  On 1 March 2020, the Board of directors declared a cash dividend of 2 cents per share, representing approximately $1,758,000, in total. This dividend was paid on 10 April 2020 to shareholders on the register at the close of trading on 20 March 2020.

B.   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"). On 23 January 2020, the Company announced that the board of directors of the Company and the board of directors of MTI Engineering had decided to continue with the Programme for another six months until 26 July 2020. As at 31 March 2020, no Ordinary Shares were held in treasury under the Programme.

In 2020, MTI Engineering generated a profit of $8,000 in relation to the Programme, which was recorded in additional paid-in-capital.

C.   During January 2020, an employee of the Company exercised options over 60,000 Ordinary Shares in exchange for a total consideration of approximately $21,000.

D.  Outbreak of COVID-19 and Business Continuity - In December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in China, and the virus has spread to many countries around the world. In January 2020, the World Health Organization announced the outbreak of the Corona virus as a global health emergency, and in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the pandemic as a global pandemic. The spread of the virus is an unusual event on its scale and is dynamic and emergent. Policymakers around the world were forced to take unprecedented steps to curb the pandemic, including the isolation of civilians and establishing strict regulations and rules to create social distancing, to reduce the chances of infection. This included eliminating most inbound and outbound flights. Along with the dangerous impacts on human lives as a result of the outbreak, significant global and local business impacts have been recorded. As of March 2020, restrictions have been imposed by most governments on civilian movement and public and private sector activity.

Note 5 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS (CONT.):

While the Group's offices were partially and/or temporarily closed (depending on country of operations) during the second part of March and most of April 2020, the Group was able to maintain good levels of operation using remote work procedures and a sufficient level of production in its production facilities while assuring the health of employees.

As of the date of this report the Group has resumed its operation in most of its facilities (still under health requirements and regulations) and it sees recovery in most of its territories although there are still significant challenges. All aspects of the Group's supply chain are working slower, and the Company's industry has been affected on the operational level, along with the rest of the world economy as it faces the risk of a global recession where the ability to predict the timing of a recovery is uncertain.
