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."
