Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2023
- Revenues for the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 10.1% to $129.5 million, compared to $144.0 million in the same period of the previous year. On a constant currency basis (calculated based on average currency exchange rates for the three months ended September 30, 2022), revenues for the third quarter of 2023 would have decreased by 6.0% to $135.3 million. During the latter half of the third quarter of 2023, we experienced a substantial and unexpected decline in demand for our software services from several of our important U.S.-based blue-chip customers which, without any advance notification, decided to immediately suspend significant parts of their active time-and-materials-based projects resulting in a decrease of close to 500 of our US specialists compared to the respective quarter. This reduced demand had a negative impact on our third quarter revenues of approximately $16 million compared to the same period last year.
- Operating income for the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 19.2% to $13.3 million, compared to $16.5 million in the same period of the previous year. On constant currency basis, (calculated based on average currency exchange rates for the three months ended September 30, 2022), operating income for the third quarter of 2023 would have decreased by 15.0% to $14.0 million. Operating income for the third quarter of 2023 included $0.6 million recorded with respect to cost of share-based payment to employees compared to $0.1 million recorded in the same period of the previous year.
- Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 8.8% to $17.2 million, compared to $18.9 million in the same period of the previous year. On a constant currency basis (calculated based on average currency exchange rates for the three months ended September 30, 2022), non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2023 would have decreased by 5.2% to $17.9 million.
- Net income attributable to Magic Software’s shareholders for the third quarter of 2023 decrease by 38.6% to $7.1 million, or $0.15 per fully diluted share, compared to $11.6 million, or $0.24 per fully diluted share, in the same period of the previous year.
- Non-GAAP net income attributable to Magic Software’s shareholders for the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 23.9% to $10.4 million, or $0.21 per fully diluted share, compared to $13.7 million, or $0.28 per fully diluted share, in the same period of the previous year. The decrease in our Non-GAAP net income attributable to Magic Software’s shareholders was primarily attributable to the decrease in our operating profit and increase in interest expenses resulting from the increase of bank interest rates and increase in overall financial debt.
- As described in the pre-announcement of our third quarter results on November 8, 2023, Magic is lowering its 2023 fourth quarter revenue guidance to a range of $115 - $125 million. This prudently conservative wider than normal range based on a very conservative approach is provided due to the following factors which are outside of our control, but that said, we feel very comfortable with this guidance range which relies on the resilience of our business, its inherent scalability and defensibility: (1) currency headwinds caused by the significant deterioration of the New Israeli Shekel (NIS) relative to the U.S. dollar in 2023. (2) a substantial and unexpected decline in demand for our software services from several of our important U.S.-based blue-chip customers which, without any advance notification, decided to immediately suspend significant parts of their active time and materials based projects (3) the outbreak of Israel’s war against the terrorist organization Hamas, which, among other things, has led to the conscription of approximately 200 out of our 1,500 Israeli employees and the continued challenging macro-economic environment of high interest rates, persistent inflation and reduced capital spending.

We acknowledge that while short-term conditions are not ideal, we are nevertheless optimistic that in 2024, once the major part of the war is behind us, and our Israeli customers return to full operations, they will resume to engage us to an increasing degree as a preferred partner for innovative digital transformation initiatives. We have a well-established track record of growth, profitability, and high cash generation and the Magic team worldwide is committed to executing our strategy to return and deliver future sustainable growth and continue improving our shareholders’ value.”

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 Software’s shareholders and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share.
Magic Software 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 Software’s financial condition and results of operations. Magic Software’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 together with GAAP results. Magic Software 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;
- Cost of share-based payment;
- Costs related to acquisition of new businesses;
- The related tax, non-controlling interests’ effects of the above items;
- Change in valuation of contingent consideration related to acquisitions;
- Change in deferred tax assets on carry forward tax losses.
Reconciliation 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.
