FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Formula Systems Reports Fiscal Year Results for 2011 with an Increase of 17% in Revenues and an Increase of 134% in Net Income

 

2011 Revenues Increased 17% Year over Year to Reach $640.6 Million with Net Income of $43.0 Million

 

Or Yehuda, Israel, March 15, 2011 – Formula Systems (1985) Ltd. (NASDAQ: FORTY) a leading provider of software consulting services, computer-based business solutions, and proprietary software products, today announced its results for the fourth quarter of 2011 and the full fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

 

Financial Highlights for the Fourth Quarter of 2011

 

·

Revenues for the fourth quarter ended on December 31, 2011, increased by 2.6% year over year to $157.3 million compared to $153.3 million in the same period last year. The acquisition by Sapiens International Corporation N.V (NASDAQ and TASE: SPNS) of IDIT I.D.I. Technologies Ltd. and FIS Software Ltd. Consummated on August 21, 2011, resulted in Formula’s loss of its controlling interest in Sapiens and the deconsolidation of Sapiens’ results from Formula’s reports. Since August 21, 2011, the Company recorded Sapiens’ results under the ‘equity in gains of affiliated company’ line in accordance with the equity method. Results for the corresponding quarter in 2010 included Sapiens’ results on a consolidated basis for the full quarter.

 

·

Operating income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011 decreased by 18.5% year over year to $10.7 million, compared to $13.1 million in the same period last year. The decrease resulted primarily from Formula’s loss of control in Sapiens.

 

·

Net income for the fourth quarter decreased by 15.5% year over year to $4.1 million compared to $4.9 million in the respective period last year.

 

Financial Highlights for the Full Year Ended December 31, 2011

 

·

Revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, increased by 17% to $640.6 million compared to $549.7 million in 2010. The acquisition by Sapiens of IDIT I.D.I. Technologies Ltd. and FIS Software Ltd. consummated on August 21, 2011, resulted in Formula’s loss of its controlling interest in Sapiens and the deconsolidation of Sapiens’ results from Formula’s reports. Since August 21, 2011, the Company recorded Sapiens’ results under the ‘equity in gains of affiliated company’ line in accordance with the equity method. Results for 2010 included Sapiens’ results on a consolidated basis for the full year. Excluding Sapiens’ results, revenues increased by 21% compared to 2010.

Comments of Management

 

Commenting on the results, Guy Bernstein, CEO of Formula Systems, said: “The Formula group has concluded 2011 seeing the growth and improved operational performance of Matrix, Magic, and Sapiens. We achieved significant increase in the group’s recorded profit, despite the deconsolidation of Sapiens’ results (due to its merger with IDIT and FIS). In the first quarter of 2012 we have restored our controlling interest in Sapiens through our acquisition of shares in the company. Magic also continue strengthening its standing after purchasing BluePhoenix’s AppBuilder activity. Therefore, we enter 2012 with optimism regarding the performance of our three main companies, which are continuing to increase their revenues organically, while also constantly pursuing opportunities for M&A activities that will accelerate growth in the future.”
