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 GBP150,000 (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.
