Net income for the third quarter of 2018 increased 63.6% to $216,000, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $132,000, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017. EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) improved to $368,000 for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to $281,000 for the third quarter of 2017 (For a reconciliation of Operating Income to EBITDA see the supplemental table included at the end of this release).
BOS reported revenues of $23.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a 12.1% increase as compared to $21.0 million in the comparable period in 2017. Net income for the nine month period increased by 37.8% to $613,000, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $445,000, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, in the prior year period. The Company reported EBITDA of $1.1 million for the first nine months of 2018 as compared to $907,000 for the first nine months of 2017.
Yuval Viner, Co-CEO at BOS, stated, “We are pleased with our financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018. As we move through the remainder of 2018, we continue to expect to meet our forecast for fiscal 2018 of revenues exceeding $29 million and net income surpassing $800,000.”
Eyal Cohen, Co-CEO at BOS, added, “Revenues of our Supply Chain division, in the first nine months and in the third quarter of 2018, grew by 17% and 23%, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods of 2017. The growth was attributed mainly to sales outside of Israel that increased by 41% to $6.8 million in the first nine months of 2018 from $4.8 million in the comparable period in 2017. Revenues in the RFID and Mobile division, for the first nine months of 2018, grew by 6% to $10.2 million from $9.6 million in the comparable period last year. Revenues in the RFID and Mobile division for the third quarter of 2018 decreased by 11% to $3 million from $3.4 million in the comparable period last year. The decrease reflects the impact of the Israeli holidays’ season on the revenues of the RFID and Mobile division, all of which are currently derived from Israel. In 2018, the holidays fell in the third quarter whereas in 2017 the holiday season was in the fourth quarter of the year. We remain focused on our efforts to grow our businesses both organically and through acquisitions.”
