B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Reports Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year ended
December 31, 2014
RISHON LEZION, Israel, March 19, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. (“BOS”) (BOSC), a leading Israeli provider of RFID and supply chain solutions to enterprises, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
Avidan Zelicovsky, BOS’ president, stated: “We ended year 2014 with a non-GAAP loss of $30,000, thus slightly missing our 2014 projection of net profit on a non-GAAP basis. Year 2014 saw higher than expected bad debt and inventory write-offs, particularly in the fourth quarter, which adversely affected the results of our Supply Chain division. According to our analysis we do expect significant improvement in the performance of the Supply Chain division in year 2015”.
Yosi Lahad, BOS’ Chairman of the Board, since January 2015, stated:. Our targets for year 2015 are to improve the performance of the Supply Chain division and to expand our RFID and Mobile product offerings, possibly also through acquisitions. BOS met its projection for non GAAP profit, through the years 2011-2013 and slightly missed its 2014 projection (by $30,000). BOS is now well positioned to explore growth opportunities, and we project a GAAP profit in year 2015.”
Eyal Cohen, BOS’ CFO added: “Our financial position continued to improve in 2014. The outstanding balance of our loans, net of cash and cash equivalents, was reduced to $3.5 million as of December 31, 2014, from $6.5 million as of December 31, 2013. We plan to raise additional equity during year 2015 to support our growth plan and further reduce debt. We expect that among the investors there will be corporate investors and certain members of management.”
