B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2015
GAAP Net Profit in the Second Quarter and for the First Half of Year 2015
RISHON LEZION, Israel, August 25, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. (the “Company”, “BOS”) (Nasdaq: BOSC), a leading Israeli provider of RFID and Supply Chain solutions to global enterprises, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2015.
On a GAAP basis, the net profit for the second quarter of 2015 and for the first half of 2015 was $29,000 and $5,000, respectively compared to a net loss of $85,000 and $68,000 in the comparable periods last year.
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 and for the first half of 2015 were lower than revenues of the comparable periods last year. However, a certain improvement in the gross profit margin in the Supply Chain division and lower operational and financial expenses led to net profit in the second quarter and in the first half of 2015 compared to net loss in the comparable periods last year.
Yuval Viner, BOS’ CEO, stated: “The lower revenues in the RFID and Mobile division were mainly due to a slowdown in investments in equipment by food retail chains in Israel.
We are encouraged by the GAAP net profit results in the first six months of 2015 and we are on track with our projected GAAP net profit for the year 2015. We are working extensively to expand our product offerings, possibly through an acquisition.” Mr. Viner added.
Avidan Zelicovsky, BOS’ president, noted: “Our continuing efforts to grow the Supply Chain business through expansion of sales overseas, mainly in the Far East, yielded a relatively high backlog. We therefore expect the Supply Chain revenues in the second half of 2015 to compensate for the division’s lower revenues in the first half of the year 2015.
BOS will host a conference call on Wednesday, August 26, 2015 at 10 a.m. EDT- 5:00 p.m., Israel Time. A question-and-answer session will follow management’s presentation. Interested parties may participate in the conference call by dialing + 972-3-9180644, approximately five to ten minutes before the call start time.
