BOS Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter of the Year 2023

 

RISHON LE ZION, Israel, November 30, 2023 – BOS Better Online Solutions Ltd. (“BOS” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BOSC) reported its financial results for the third quarter of the year 2023.

 

Third Quarter 2023 Statements of Operations Highlights:

 

	●	Revenues for the third quarter of 2023 grew by 8.5% to $9.8 million from $9.0 million in the comparable quarter last year.
	●	Operating profit for the third quarter of 2023 increased by 87.7% to $441,000 from $235,000 in the comparable quarter last year.
	●	EBITDA for the third quarter of 2023 increased by 70.4% to $600,000 from $352,000 in the comparable quarter last year.
	●	Financial expenses for the third quarter of 2023 increased to $128,000 from $3,000 in the comparable quarter last year due to currency exchange costs between the NIS and the US$.
	●	Net income for the third quarter of 2023 increased by 14.2% to $313,000 or $0.05 per basic share compared to $274,000 or $0.05 per basic share in the third quarter of the year 2022.

 

Balance sheet Highlights:

 

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $1.2 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to $1.8 million in December 31, 2022. The decrease in cash is attributed mainly to investing activities as reflected in our long-term assets. During the first nine months of 2023, we paid $ 351,000 for the purchase of distribution rights of electronic components (for the Supply Chain division). We also paid $68,000 on account of the Dagesh acquisition we made in 2022 (for the RFID division).

 

 

Trade receivables amounted to $11.6 million and 95 aging days as of September 30, 2023, compared to $10.8 million and 95 aging days as of December 31, 2022.

 

Inventories as of September 2023 amounted to $7.2 million and 76 aging days compared to $6.4 million and 72 aging days in December 2022. The increase in inventory is attributed to projects in process in the Robotic division.

 

Bank loans (short and long) amounted to $1.9 million as of September 30, 2023, roughly the same balance as of December 31, 2022.

 

Trade payables amounted to $6.7 million and 70 aging days as of September 30, 2023, compared to $8.0 million and 90 aging days as of December 31 2022. During 2022, we temporarily extended our vendor credit days to support our 25% growth in 2022.

 

Working capital amounted to $10.2 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to $9.4 million as of December 31, 2022.

 

Shareholders equity amounted to $18.4 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to $16.6 million as of December 31, 2022.

 

Ziv Dekel, BOS’ Chairman, stated: “BOS’ management has invested extensive resources to strengthen BOS’ market position and penetrate new business segments. I am pleased to see the positive results consistently yielded by these efforts.”

 

Eyal Cohen, BOS’ CEO, stated: “The relatively strong results in the first nine months of the year and our backlog for the remainder of the year 2023 advance us towards meeting our financial targets for 2023, despite the current security situation in Israel.”

 

 

BOS will host a conference call on November 30, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. EDT. A question-and-answer session will follow management’s presentation.

Safe Harbor Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

The forward-looking statements contained herein reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of BOS. These risk factors and uncertainties include, amongst others, the dependency of sales being generated from one or few major customers, the uncertainty of BOS being able to maintain current gross profit margins, inability to keep up or ahead of technology and to succeed in a highly competitive industry, inability to maintain marketing and distribution arrangements and to expand our overseas markets, uncertainty with respect to the prospects of legal claims against BOS, the effect of exchange rate fluctuations, general worldwide economic conditions, the continued availability of financing for working capital purposes and to refinance outstanding indebtedness; and additional risks and uncertainties detailed in BOS’ periodic reports and registration statements filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

In October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against these terrorist organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks. Moreover, the clash between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict. It is currently not possible to predict the duration or severity of the ongoing conflict or its long term effects on our business, operations and financial conditions. The ongoing conflict is rapidly evolving and developing, and could disrupt our business and operations, interrupt our sources and availability of supply and hamper our ability to raise additional funds or sell our securities, among others.

 

BOS undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements may be based, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
