OR YEHUDA, Israel, Nov. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: MGIC), a global provider of end-to-end integration and application development platforms solutions and IT consulting services, announced today its financial results for the third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2019

  • Revenues for the third quarter increased 19% to $85.8 million compared to $72.1 million in the same period last year.
  • Operating income for the third quarter increased 10% to $8.5 million compared to $7.7 million in the same period last year.
  • Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter increased 18% to $11.8 million compared to $10.0 million in the same period last year.
  • Net income attributable to Magic's shareholders for the third quarter remained constant at $5.0 million, or $0.10 per fully diluted share compared to the same period last year. Net income was negatively impacted by an amount of $0.9 million compared to the same period last year resulting from acquisition related expenses of $0.6 million recorded in connection with mainly the acquisition of NetEffects Inc and the devaluation of the US Dollar versus the new Israeli shekel by $0.3 million.
  • Non-GAAP net income attributable to Magic's shareholders for the third quarter increased 19% to $8.1 million, or $0.17 per fully diluted share, compared to $6.8 million, or $0.14 per fully diluted share, in the same period last year.

Financial Highlights for the Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2019

  • Revenues for the first nine months of 2019 increased 11% to $234.7 million compared to $212.1 million in the same period last year.
  • Operating income for the first nine months of 2019 increased 7% to $25.0 million compared to $23.3 million in the same period last year.
  • Non-GAAP operating income for the first nine months of 2019 increased 10% to $32.5 million compared to $29.5 million in the same period last year.
  • Net income attributable to Magic's shareholders for the first nine months of 2019 decreased 1% to $15.1 million, or $0.29 per fully diluted share, compared to $15.3 million, or $0.33 per fully diluted share in the same period last year. Net income was negatively impacted by an amount of $2.4 million compared to the same period last year resulting from acquisition related expenses of $1.4 million recorded in connection with mainly the acquisition of Powwow and NetEffects and the devaluation of the US Dollar versus the new Israeli shekel by $1 million.
  • Non-GAAP net income attributable to Magic's shareholders for the first nine months of 2019 increased 9% to $21.8 million, or $0.45 per fully diluted share, compared to $19.9 million, or $0.43 per fully diluted share, in the same period last year. Earnings per share for the first nine months of 2019 were negatively impacted by $0.04 per fully diluted share compared to the same period last year as a consequence of the Company’s private placement of 4.3 million shares in the third quarter of 2018 to Israeli institutional investors.
  • Cash flow from operating activities for the first nine months of 2019 amounted to $32.7 million compared to $20.3 million in the same period last year.
  • As of September 30, 2019, Magic’s net cash, cash equivalents, short and long-term bank deposits and marketable securities, offset by short and long-term financial liabilities amounted to $69.8 million.
  • We are increasing our full-year revenue guidance to a range of $317-$320 million, from the previous revenue guidance of $313-$319 million, reflecting annual growth of 12% to 13%.

Guy Bernstein, Chief Executive Officer of Magic Software Enterprises, said:

“We are pleased to report Magic’s all-time best quarterly results with revenues of $86 million and operational profit of $12 million (on a non-GAAP basis), reflecting a double-digit growth of 19% and 18% year over year, respectively. This quarter’s results demonstrate Magic’s ability to consistently grow by leveraging its continued long engagement cycles with its existing and new customers, along with its fruitful M&A activity.”

“This quarter we welcome NetEffects Inc. to our software services portfolio. NetEffects, a US based company, specializes in IT staffing and recruiting. This acquisition supports our continuing efforts to maintain and upgrade our strong market position as a preferred one-stop-shop software services vendor.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP net income attributable to Magic’s shareholders and Non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share.

Magic believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Magic's financial condition and results of operations. Magic's management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining executive and senior management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. These measures are used in financial reports prepared for management and in quarterly financial reports presented to the Company's board of directors. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Management of the Company does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. Magic urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing quarterly financial results, including this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company's business.

Non-GAAP measures used in this press release are included in the financial tables of this release. These non-GAAP measures exclude the following items:

  • Amortization of purchased intangible assets and other related costs;
  • In-process research and development capitalization and amortization;
  • Equity-based compensation expenses;
  • The related tax, non-controlling interests and redeemable non-controlling interest effects of the above items;
  • Change in valuation of contingent consideration related to acquisitions; and
  • Acquisition-related costs;

Reconciliation tables of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are included in the financial tables of this release.
