The following will summarize our major achievements in the first quarter of 2020 as well as our business. The financial results can be found in the Company News section of our website at http://www.mindcti.com/company/news/ and in our Form 6-K.

Financial Highlights

  • Revenues were $6.0 million, compared with $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2019, with the increase attributed to the acquisition of Message Mobile in March 2019 and GTX in September 2019, which generated revenues of approximately $2.3 million during the quarter.
  • Operating income was $1.3 million, or 21% of total revenues, compared with $1.5 million, or 33% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2019.
  • Net income was $1.2 million, or $0.06 per share, compared with $1.5 million, or $0.08 per share in the first quarter of 2019.
  • Cash flow from operating activities during the quarter was $1.1 million, compared with $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2019.
  • Cash position was $16.2 million as of March 31, 2020 (before the dividend distribution of $4.8 million on April 16, 2020).

As of March 31, 2020, we had 204 employees in our Romania, Israel, Germany and U.S. offices, compared with 220 as of March 31, 2019.

Monica Iancu, MIND CTI CEO, commented: “In these unprecedented times, our top priority is to ensure that our employees and customers are safe and that we remain resilient and agile. We have successfully transitioned into a new mode of operations to best support our customers under a firm business continuity program wherein most of our employees are working partially or fully from home using secured access. We informed our customers that as always, they can count on us to tirelessly maintain and strengthen their business.

“As we continue to face the many challenges mentioned in previous press releases and the additional impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect a decline in our revenues and income in 2020. Nevertheless, we are encouraged that even in these times of uncertainty we have the experience, the resilience and the cash to weather the storm.”

Impact of COVID-19We experience the effect of the pandemic in all areas of our business, mainly due to the following reasons:

  • Ongoing project delays: Delays in the pace of ongoing implementation rollouts in all our lines of business, due to lockdowns and other COVID-19 related measures.
  • New opportunities freeze: As much of the population remains homebound, service providers are taking action to ramp up their network infrastructure, but we believe that at the same time they are reluctant to promote billing transformation projects. The Messaging segment is also harmed due to a lack of campaigns and a freeze of new enrollments.
  • Existing customers reducing budget: Due to the general economic uncertainty, the majority of our customers, both enterprises and carriers, are restricting their budgets. Especially, due to lack of revenues from supplying communication services to tourists, carriers’ willingness to invest in enhancements in new features is extremely low.

Revenue DistributionThe Americas represented 45%, Europe represented 49% (including the Message Mobile and GTX revenues in Germany that represented 38%) and  the rest of the world represented 6% of total revenues.

Customer care and billing software totaled $3.0 million, or 50% of total revenues, enterprise messaging and payment solutions were $2.3 million, or 38% of total revenues and enterprise call accounting software totaled $0.7 million, or 12% of total revenues.

Licenses totaled $0.4 million, or 6.5% of total revenues, while maintenance and additional services were $5.6 million, or 93.5% of total revenues.

Dividend DistributionAs previously announced, the Board declared on March 11, 2020 a cash dividend of $0.24 per share.

The dividend of approximately $4.8 million, is presented in our March 31, 2020 balance sheet among  other payables and was distributed to our shareholders in April 2020.
