Mr. Dror Sharon, CEO of Magal, commented, "Our strategy to diversify our revenue is working, as evidenced by the broad-based growth in Magal's Integrated Solutions Division, excluding the impact of the LATAM region in 2019, and the Senstar Products Division delivering growth across all regions. The diversification of revenue streams, as evidenced by the addition of new geographies, new customers and consecutive year-over-year growth in the Senstar Products Division has elevated the performance of the Company from the revenue levels seen in the years prior to executing this growth strategy. We made significant improvement in operational efficiencies in 2019, which fueled a 61% increase in operating income. While net income was impacted by a non-cash foreign exchange expense, we delivered an outstanding 17% increase in EBITDA for the year."

Continued Mr. Sharon, "Recently we announced new leadership for both divisions with a mandate to streamline their organizational structures and focus on four key verticals. The Company is directing its resources on growing our presence in the Oil and Gas, Logistics, Corrections and Critical Infrastructure verticals with a two-fold strategy to expand sales of products, software and solutions for core security solutions, and to offer new, adjacent solutions with our platform in each of these verticals. We have applied this framework to identify targets for M&A in 2020 that can leverage our capabilities and further enhance the technology of our platform. We are currently in advanced stages with several acquisition targets and we believe that our strong balance sheet will provide us with to new acquisition opportunities, especially in light of the current global economic uncertainty. Our backlog level remains strong and with the diverse pipeline of potential business opportunities Magal is now well positioned to achieve our growth target."

FULL YEAR 2019 RESULTS

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 were a $86.8 million compared with record revenue last year of $92.6 million. The 6.2% decline year-over-year was primarily due to the completion of a large Latin American contract in Magal's Integrated Solutions Division (projects) in 2018. Excluding the $17 million decline in the Latin America region, the division grew external revenue in other regions by $8.4 million or approximately 19%. Senstar Products Division delivered 9% growth across all regions.

External revenue from Magal's Integrated Solutions Division represented approximately 60% of total revenue, while external revenue from the Senstar Products Division represented approximately 40% of total revenue.

Gross profit for 2019 was $38.8 million, representing 44.6% of revenue, compared with $40.3 million, representing 43.5% of revenue, in 2018. The higher gross margin in 2019 was due to the sales mix favoring higher margin products and services, primarily related to the increase in the Senstar Products Division revenue, which typically carries a higher gross margin contribution.

Operating income for 2019 was $6 million compared with $3.8 million in 2018. The increase in operating income was primarily due to improved operational efficiencies resulting in lower R&D, Selling and Marketing, and G&A expenses, and the impact of a few non-recurring expense items that were recorded in 2018, including a $1 million impairment of goodwill related to an acquisition, as well as a $1.3 million provision for doubtful debt.

Financial expenses were $1.7 million for 2019 compared to financial income of $1.4 million in 2018. The expense primarily due to the strong depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the New Israeli Shekel in 2019 which impacted the valuation of the USD denominated monetary assets held by our company.

Net income attributable to Magal shareholders for 2019 was $2.3 million, or $0.07 per share compared to $2.9 million, or $0.12 per share, in 2018. The decline in net income was primarily attributable to the financial expenses describe above.
