MTI Wireless Edge Ltd
("MTI", the "Company" or the "Group")
Q1 2022 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 2022.
Financial highlights
· Good revenue growth, up by 12% to $11.2m (Q1 2021: $9.95m) reflecting
the strength of the Group's long term customer base with over 60% of revenue
being generated from clients for 10 years or more
· Profit before tax up 8% to $0.97m (Q1 2021: $0.9m) after costs
associated with the acquisition of P.S.K. WIND Technologies Ltd ("PSK")
· EBITDA* increased by 15% to $1.35m (Q1 2021: $1.18m)
· Earnings per share increased by 12% to 0.89 US cents (Q1 2021: 0.80
US cents)
· Continued strong operating cash generation with net cash standing at
$6.5m on 31 March 2022 (31 March 2021: $9.5m), with the majority of the change
reflecting: i) the initial net consideration paid and loan provided in respect
of PSK; ii) the Group's exit from its Russian operations (as described in note
six to the financial statements); and iii) the dividend paid in March 2022 -
together totaling approximately $7m.
Operational highlights by division
Antennas
· 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, with a growing focus on
providing 5G backhaul antenna solutions to support mobile phone operators as
they roll-out their 5G networks.
· In Q1 2022, there was further interest from Tier 1 corporations for
our 5G automatic beam steering ("ABS") antenna solution, which ensures the
antenna adapts to any small movements caused by different climate conditions,
including wind or temperature changes.
· Orders for our 5G backhaul solution remain strong, but fulfilment is
slower due to external issues relating to supply chains at customers (mainly
microchip shortages and the impact of lockdowns in China). RFID revenues
significantly improved whilst military antenna orders were slower as the sales
cycle takes longer, but the opportunities remain significant.
· Taken together this resulted in slightly lower antenna revenue levels
in Q1 2022 (compared to Q1 2021), but the underlying future potential across
both military and 5G markets remains strong.
Water Control & Management
· Operates under the Mottech brand and provides wireless control
systems to manage irrigation and water distribution for agriculture, municipal
authorities and commercial entities.
· Solutions reduce water and power usage, whilst providing customers
with higher revenue from accurate irrigation, leading to more and better
quality crops and plants being grown.
· Q1 2022 was a steady period with revenues increasing slightly against
Q1 2021 and underlying sales orders bode well for the year with a growing
pipeline of opportunities and the successful introduction of new prices being
accepted in service contracts across the division's customer base.
· Sales are expected to commence in Q2 2022 under a strategic
partnership agreed in January with Viridix, offering Mottech customers the
RooTense® sensor that measures the water available to the roots of crops.
Distribution & Professional Consulting Services
· Operates under the MTI Summit Electronics brand and represents
approximately 40 international suppliers of radio frequency/microwave
components and sells these products to Israeli customers.
· Expert knowledge of both the international suppliers and customers
further enables MTI to act as a consultant to all parties and assist with
devising complete radio frequency/microwave solutions.
· In Q1 2022, MTI Summit enjoyed an excellent period delivering strong
revenue growth, boosted by the addition of new revenues from the acquisition
of PSK. Most importantly, this division has also grown its pipeline of future
orders and opportunities and is well placed for a successful year.
· In March 2022, the Company confirmed the sale of the Group's business
unit in Russia to the General Manager of the Russian operations.
Moni Borovitz, Chief Executive Officer of MTI Wireless Edge, said:
"We are pleased with the trading performance for the first quarter, which
represents a good start to the year and, once again, demonstrates the critical
value of being a diversified business enabling us to continue to grow the
business in challenging times.
"Delivering double digit sales, EBITDA and EPS growth is a creditable
performance in the current market, coming out of the pandemic and managing
increased costs relating to inflation and the supply chain. Cash generation
from operations was again positive, with net cash at $6.5m after paying circa
$4.5m in relation to the acquisition of PSK and last year's dividend. The
business therefore remains in a strong financial position and well placed for
the year.
"The impact on our business from the pandemic has receded but there are still
pockets of disruption, most notably in China, where recent lockdowns have
added to the delays in the production of components and increased pressure
around transportation of goods from China. Inflationary led costs are coming
through the business albeit we have been successful to mitigate these to some
extent by implementing price increases. Overall, we expect these factors to
continue to some degree for the remainder of the year.
"Notwithstanding this, demand across all three divisions for their respective
products and services has increased. The market for defence, in particular, is
growing, with a visible increase in potential orders over the coming 18
months. Our ABS solution for the 5G market has opened up new conversations
with several key Tier 1 & 2 mobile radio manufacturers, strengthening our
relationship with existing customers and potential new ones. This has further
under pinned the potential of the 5G market for us. Mottech remains a leader
in its field and continues to see good demand in many markets, supported by a
strong pipeline of potential future orders. MTI Summit was again the leading
performer in Q1 with a very encouraging contribution from the recently
acquired PSK.
"Looking ahead, we believe the Company's clear focus on providing radio
frequency solutions coupled to being diversified across several markets
positions us well to continue to grow and expand through a mix of acquisition
led and organic growth."
Moni Borovitz, Chief Executive Officer, will provide a live investor
presentation relating to the financial results for the three-month period
ended 31 March 2022, via the Investor Meet Company ("IMC") platform today at
10.00 am UK time.

Note 3 - Acquisition of subsidiary:
On 3 January 2022 the Company, via its wholly-owned subsidiary, MTI Summit
Electronics Ltd. ("MTI Summit"), entered into a share purchase agreement,
which includes both a purchase of existing shares in and the making of a new
equity investment into P.S.K. WIND Technologies Ltd. ("PSK"), after which MTI
Summit will own 51% of PSK (the "Acquisition"). The initial consideration for
the Acquisition is approximately US$1.2 million, with an earn out payment,
subject to performance, of up to approximately US$2.56 million. In addition,
MTI Summit has made a loan to PSK of US$0.8 million and is party to an option
agreement in relation to the acquisition of the remaining 49% of PSK.
The initial consideration paid by MTI, to acquire 51% of the equity in PSK,
comprises: a) the purchase of existing shares in PSK for NIS 700,000
(approximately US$225,000); and b) a subscription of NIS 3,000,000
(approximately US$0.95m) for new shares in PSK. In addition, there is an
earn out mechanism under which further consideration may be payable, as
described in the contingent consideration section below (the "Earn Out").
MTI Summit's loan to PSK of NIS 2,500,000 (approximately US$800,000) is a term
loan which is to be repaid on 1 January 2024. The loan is not convertible and
bears interest of 3.26% per annum.
In addition to the Acquisition, MTI Summit has an option to purchase and the
vendors of PSK have an option to sell to MTI Summit the remaining 49% of PSK
(the "Option") starting from 2027, subject to the terms described below.

purposes.
Contingent consideration:
As part of the purchase agreement with the owners of PSK, it was agreed that
the sellers, who retain a 49% holding in PSK would be entitled to further
consideration to be paid pursuant to an earn out mechanism dependent on PSK's
actual revenues in 2022 and 2024 versus certain agreed targets in each of
those years and is capped at a maximum of NIS 8,000,000 (approximately
US$2.56m), to be paid in cash.
Note 3 - Acquisition of subsidiary (cont'):
Put Option liability:
MTI Summit has an option to purchase and the vendors of PSK have an option to
sell to MTI Summit the remaining 49% of PSK (the "Option") starting from 2027.
The value of PSK under the Option is to be calculated on the basis of eight
times the average EBITDA level of PSK in 2025 and 2026, with MTI being
required to pay 49% of this value upon exercise. If the Option is to be
exercised at any time after the preparation of PSK's financial results for the
first quarter of 2027, the calculation will be based on PSK's average EBITDA
for the last eight quarters. The Option will remain in place until
exercised.
As at the Acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was
estimated at US$ 56 thousand and the Option at US$ 1.376 million.
The significant non-observable data used in measuring the fair value of the
liability in respect of the contingent consideration and the Put Option
liability are as follows:
Discount rate: 15.5%
A significant increase (or decrease) in the estimated amount of the acquired
company's pre-tax income will result in a significant increase (decrease) in
the fair value of the liability in respect of the contingent consideration
whereas a significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate and default
risk rate will result in a decrease (an increase) in the fair value of the
liability.

Note 7 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:
A. On 6 March 2022, the Board of directors declared a cash dividend of 2.8
US cents per share, representing approximately $2,479,000, in total. This
dividend was paid on 31 March 2022 to shareholders on the register at the
close of trading on 18 March 2022.
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"). 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. As at 31 March 2022, no Ordinary Shares were held in treasury under
the Programme.
On 9 March 2022 at an extraordinary shareholders meeting, Mr. Luke Ahern was
elected as an external director for three year term. At the same meeting
approval for the extension of an updated Remuneration Policy for a period of
three years or for a longer period, to the extent prescribed in the provisions
of the Israeli Companies Law, was granted as well as the extension of an
updated management services agreement (the "Management Services Agreement"),
between the Company and Mokirei Aya Management (2003) Ltd. (the "Management
Company") for the provision of the services of the Chairman and CEO of the
Company for a further three years or for a longer period, to the extent
prescribed in the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law with effect from 1
March 2022.
C. 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 Coronavirus as a global health emergency, and in
March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the pandemic to be a global
pandemic. In 2021 and until the date of this report the Company was able to
maintain good levels of operation using remote working procedures where
appropriate and a sufficient level of production in its production facilities
while assuring the health of its employees. Since March 2022 most of the
Group's operations have returned to a normal level of activity but aspects of
the Group's supply chain are still 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. In particular, shipment costs
are higher and availability of shipping is lower, some of the components or
other parts (used by the Company or its vendors or its customers) are still
under shortage and this can effect the ability to supply part of the demand.
This uncertainty of the level of the global economic slowdown, its duration
and its medium to long term effects creates challenges, but the Company
believes that if there is no further deterioration in the situation, its
financial strength and business stability will allow it to navigate through
this.
