BOS Reports First Quarter of 2020 Financial Results

Return to GAAP Net Profit

RISHON LE ZION, Israel, May 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BOS Better Online Solutions Ltd. (“BOS” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BOSC), a global provider of intelligent systems and services for production and logistics, reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Revenues for the first quarter of the year 2020 amounted to $7.5 million, slightly below the revenues of the comparable quarter last year, which amounted to $7.8 million. Revenues for the first quarter of the year 2020 included a small amount of revenues from the Robotics business line, which was acquired in June 2019. Revenues from the Robotics business are recognized upon completion of work.

The gross profit margin for the first quarter of the year 2020 improved to 22.5% of revenues compared to 21.3% of revenues in the comparable quarter last year. 

Operating expenses for the first quarter of the year 2020 amounted to $1.58 million compared to $1.48 million in the comparable quarter last year. The increase in expenses was due to the Robotics business.

Operating income for the first quarter of the year 2020 amounted to $110,000 compared to $176,000 in the comparable quarter last year. 

Net income for the first quarter of the year 2020 amounted to $54,000 compared to $156,000 in the comparable quarter last year. 

During the third and fourth quarters of the year 2019, the Company generated a net loss so the results of the first quarter of the year 2020 represent a return to profitability.

EBITDA for the first quarter of the year 2020 amounted to $228,000 compared to $265,000 in the comparable quarter last year. EBITDA reconciliation is presented along with the GAAP financials at the end of this document.

Eyal Cohen, CEO, stated, “The first quarter results reflect the initial impact of the cost reduction plan that we have executed during the first quarter of this year and outstanding performance of our RFID and Supply Chain business. However, the Robotics business line, generated a net loss of approximately $300,000 in the first quarter of the year and as such presents our primary challenge. We are targeting the U.S. market for the development of our Robotics business, and during the first quarter of the year we have conducted significant sales and marketing activities in the U.S. Unfortunately, the COVID 19 situation in the U.S. has caused delays in the sales cycle and made our task more challenging. We expect that the burn rate of the Robotics business to decrease in next quarters and to turn profitable by the first quarter of 2021, if we are successful in our continuing efforts to develop a strong U.S. client base for its products.” 

Outlook  

Mr. Cohen added, “We have a $12.6 million backlog as of March 31, 2020, for delivery in the year 2020, and are successfully implementing our cost reduction plan. On this basis, we expect that in 2020 our revenues will grow as compared to the year 2019 and that we will be profitable.”
