PR Newswire
YOKNEAM, Israel, Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — On Track Innovations Ltd. (“OTI”) (OTCQX: OTIVF) (the “Company” or “OTI“), a global provider of near field communication (NFC) and cashless payment solutions, today provided a business update and announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Management
Commentary
Mr. Yehuda Holtzman, OTI’s CEO, commented, “The results of the quarter continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the various lockdown measures taken in the geographies in which we operate. Specifically in Poland, the recent deterioration in the pandemic situation in that country has led to an almost complete stop to our Mass Transit Ticketing sales business, negatively impacting our cash flow. We are looking at various options to address the Company’s cash needs, including measures we are taking to cut costs and raise funds.”
Continued Mr. Holtzman, “While not yet expressed in our financial results, our new sales strategy of strengthening our presence in key regions is beginning to bear fruit, which makes us incrementally optimistic for the long-term. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we saw an almost 60% year-over-year increase in our Retail related revenues due the cashless and non-physical nature of our products. Barring a worsening of the current pandemic crisis, and subject to successfully increasing our cash as necessary to continue as a going-concern in the short term, we believe that our Retail activity will continue to present solid results alongside a recovery post COVID-19 in our Mass Transit Ticketing sales, which should lead to sales growth during 2021.”
Third quarter 2020 Financial Results Summary
- Revenues in the quarter were $3.6 million, reflecting a 6% decline compared to $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2019. Licensing and transaction fees were $0.8 million, compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter of last year.
- Gross profit for the quarter was $1.5 million (41% of revenue), compared to $1.7 million (44% of revenue) in the same year ago quarter. The decrease is mainly attributed to a change in the revenue mix and to the sharp decrease in Mass Transit Ticketing sales in the Polish market, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Operating expenses totaled $3.0 million in the quarter, compared to operating expenses of $2.8 million in the same year-ago quarter. Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 included a gain of $0.3 million related to the sale of a building by OTI’s South African subsidiary.
- Net loss was $1.6 million, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million in the same year-ago quarter.
- Adjusted EBITDA loss from continuing operations was $1.2 million in the quarter, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss from continuing operations of $1.1 million in the same year-ago quarter, which reflects a gain of $0.3 million related to the sale of a building by OTI’s South African subsidiary.
- As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $3.2 million.

Safe Harbor / Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains express or implied forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other Federal securities laws. Whenever we use words such as “will,” “look forward,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “believe,” “should,” “can” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. For example, we are using forward-looking statements when we discuss, among others: the Company’s strategy, the Company’s cash needs and satisfaction thereof, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, that the measures that the Company takes in cutting expenses and raising funds will be successful, the Company’s optimism for the long term and the Company’s belief that its Retail activity will continue to present solid results alongside recovery post COVID-19 in its Mass Transit Ticketing sales which should lead to sales growth during 2021. Because such statements deal with future events and are based on OTI’s current expectations, they are subject to various risks and uncertainties and actual results, including those as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Performance or achievements of OTI could differ materially from those described in or implied by the statements in this press release. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements are stated under the captions “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other known and unknown uncertainties and risk factors including those detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this release, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update forward-looking statements. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains certain non-GAAP measures, namely, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, or adjusted earnings from continuing operations before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations represents earnings before interest or financing expenses, income tax, depreciation and amortization, and further eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation expense and other income, net. OTI believes that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations should be considered in evaluating the Company’s operations since it provides a clear indication of the Company’s operating results. This measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for the U.S. GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the U.S. GAAP results in the table below.
