Comments of Management
Commenting on the results, Guy Bernstein, CEO of
Formula Systems, said, “We are very pleased to report significant
growth in all major financial indices across our entire
portfolio.
"In the second quarter and first half of 2018,
Matrix achieved double-digit growth across all its key financial
indicators. Matrix reported revenues of NIS 762.2 million in the
second quarter of 2018, operating income of NIS 50.1 million, and
net income attributable to Matrix shareholders of NIS 32.7 million,
reflecting an increase of 14%, 22.1% and 43.3% respectively, year
over year.
“The increase in Matrix's revenues can be
credited to the strategic deals that it won over the past year,
including establishing a credit database for the Bank of Israel,
significant deals in the field of cyber and other successful
business initiatives. In the US, Matrix is beginning to reap the
benefits of its acquisitions and continues to see the US market as
a strategic market for its continued growth.
“Matrix also continued to focus on high-profit
activities and on developing new models in the field of employee
training and placement well as in the integration and
infrastructure solutions sector, which continues to expand and
enjoy increased demand.
“Sapiens’ improved margins and profitability in
the second quarter and first half of 2018 reflect its success in
making significant strides to getting back on track, including
cost-cutting programs and the effective leveraging of its global
assets. In the second quarter, Sapiens’ revenues totaled $72.2
million up 4.5% compared to last year, its operating margin
improved to 6.8% and its non-GAAP1 operating margin was 13.2%
up from (4.3%) and 4.7% respectively, year over year.
“Sapiens updated its guidance and forecasts that
its non-GAAP revenues will be in the range of $285 to $290 million
up from $280 to 285 million and the non-GAAP full year operating
margins will be in the range of 13.0% and 13.2% up from 12.0% to
13.0%.
“Sapiens continues to advance towards its key
objectives of expanding its P&C business in EMEA and North
America while improving profitability. Sapiens’ enhanced digital
insurance offering along with its proven products and personnel are
winning new business, particularly with its P&C platforms, and
is expanding its business with new and existing clients and
building its pipeline for future growth. This quarter’s results
demonstrate Sapiens’ ability to expand market leadership,
particularly in the areas with the greatest client demand in the
insurance market: digitalization, data analytics, and legacy
transformation.
“Magic’s record-breaking financial results for
the second quarter and first half of 2018 demonstrate that Magic is
continuing its impressive forward momentum across all of its
markets and regions, confirming that its strategic business
initiatives are paying off. The results for the second quarter
were at all-time highs with revenues of $70.2 million, operating
income of $8.0 million and non-GAAP2 operating income of $9.8
million, up 7%, 26% and 9% respectively, year over year, driven
exclusively by organic growth.
“TSG is expanding its partnerships to execute additional
strategic projects in Israel and around the world.
“Lastly, we are excited by Michpal's continuing
growth, with revenues for the first half of 2018 increasing by more
than 25% year over year, mainly as a result of the successful
January 2018 official launch of its new product and new service
line – "Michpal Pension" and "Michpal PensionPlus”. Over 1,500
existing Michpal customers have already adopted this new business
line, which is the first step in our business strategy to expand
Michpal’s offerings. We expect that Michpal’s strong financial
position, coupled with its activities towards promoting and growing
its business organically and through M&As, will continue the
company's momentum through 2018 and beyond.”
