Q3 2023 financial results
MTI Wireless Edge Ltd (AIM: MWE), the technology group focused
on comprehensive communication and radio frequency solutions across
multiple sectors, is pleased to announce its financial results for
the nine-month period ended 30 September 2023 (the "Period").
Financial highlights
-- Revenue for the Period of $33.7m (nine months to 30 September
2022: $34.8m). On a constant currency basis this represents an
increase of 1% over the same period last year
-- 6% improvement in profit before tax to $3.4m (nine months to
30 September 2022: $3.2m), helped by positive currency movements
and margin improvement
-- 9% improvement in earnings per share to 3.25 US cents ( nine
months to 30 September 2022 : 2.99 US cents)
-- Company remains virtually ungeared with net cash of $6.4m as
at 30 September 2023 (30 September 2022: $5.2m)
-- Final dividend anticipated to be declared alongside MTI's
full year results which will be announced during the first quarter
of 2024
Operational highlights
-- A stable performance with the Company remaining well placed
for the rest of the year and into 2024
-- Antenna division recorded good growth, driven by military and RFID sales
o Demand for military antennas globally is strong and is
expected by the Company to continue to grow
o India remains a key market for 5G sales, with recent wins
demonstrating the technical strength of the Company's 5G backhaul
solution
-- Mottech delivered a solid performance during the first nine months of the year
o Good contribution to the Group, helped by improved margins
following successful price increases and positive exchange rates
from the international businesses
o Israeli market remains firm, growing in NIS terms but, given
the NIS/US$ foreign exchange effects, remained flat in the year
o Growth coming through from France and Italy
o Pipeline for Q4 2023 looks promising to support a good end to
the year and start to 2024
-- MTI Summit affected by a slightly slower order rate, but its pipeline is positive
o The division has seen a slight slowdown in order rate which
has impacted sales in the period
o PSK continues to grow and returned to profitability in the
third quarter, although the first nine months of the year still
showed a minor loss, as it suffered from delays to key projects in
Q2
o Overall, MTI Summit remains well placed to deliver a good
result for the year and is likely to benefit from increased
government spend in Q4
Moni Borovitz, Chief Executive Officer of MTI Wireless Edge,
said:
"The business continues to perform well despite the tragic
events on 7 October 2023 and the subsequent war. Several of our
employees have been called up for military service and a number of
others that survived the terrible events have had to leave the
attacked area (where they lived) and are still not able to live a
normal life. This, together with the overall sadness and turmoil,
has had some effect in reducing the Company's labour resources. At
the same time, there is high motivation and solidarity in the
country as well as in the workplace, resembling to some extent the
beginning of the COVID era where people worked long hours and
adapted their working practices. As announced in July 2022 we are
engaged, in part of our business, in a service contract with the
Israeli Government and we are currently working very long hours
under this agreement, supporting the needs of the country and
compensating for the lost hours elsewhere. As a result, overall
demand for our services in Israel is largely unchanged. Our
internal infrastructure is unaffected and we continue to import and
export goods as normal. 40% of MTI's employees reside outside of
Israel where all the Company's international operations are running
and performing normally.
"The business is further supported by a strong balance sheet
with $6.4m in net cash at the end of September 2023. Q3 results
were impacted adversely by currency movements, especially the 9%
decrease in NIS against the US$ from the beginning of the year, at
the revenue level but those same currency changes had a positive
impact on profitability, resulting in an overall positive
performance for the first nine months of the year.
"Q4 has begun well with good opportunities visible in all
divisions of the Group, part of which is related to the increased
spending by the Israeli Government for services from both our
Antenna and MTI Summit divisions. I believe that the Company is
therefore well placed to weather the current challenges and, in the
absence of unforeseen geopolitical developments, to continue to
grow."

Note 5 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:
A. On March 12, 2023, the Board of directors declared a cash
dividend of 3.0 US cents per share, representing approximately
$2,656,000, in total. This dividend was paid on April 6, 2023 to

B. On 24 January, 2019, the Company announced a share repurchase
program to conduct market purchases of ordinary shares of par value
0.01 Israeli Shekels each ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company up to
a maximum value of GBP150,000 (the "Programme"). Thereafter, the
board of directors of the Company and the board of directors of MTI
Engineering decided to continue with the Programme for several
further periods. On 14 March, 2023, the Company announced that it
would extend the Programme until 31 March, 2024, with the Programme

Note 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
A. On 7 October, 2023 Israel was attacked by the Hamas terror
organization leading to war. The war has led to a slowdown in the
Israeli economy and if war continues for a prolonged period then it
may begin to impact the Company. The wide usage of military reserve
personnel, adverse foreign currency exchange rates and restrictions
on access to certain areas in Israel are risks which may affect the
Company from a prolonged period of war. As of the date of this
report, and to the best of the Company's knowledge, the war has not
had a significant effect on it. The Company continues to review the
effects of the war on its trading as it believes that if the war
continues for a long period of time then the overall Israeli
economy will be effected, and factors including the lack of
available manpower, interest rates and foreign currency exchange
rates may have an impact on its trading.
B. On 19 November, 2023 the remuneration committee and the board
of directors approved an option plan for the Company's shares
("Option Plan").
The Option Plan includes the authority to issue 2,000,000
options (2.2% of the Company's issued share capital on fully
diluted basis) with the following terms:
1. Each option can be exercised into one ordinary share of the
Company at a price of 40p being 25% above the share price at the
date preceding this announcement and 17% above the average share
price in the last 30 days.
2. The vesting of the options will be 50% after two years, 25%
after three years and 25% after four years with expiration after
six years from issuance.
3. The economic value of the options based on a Black-Scholes
calculation is US$259,000 for the total 2 million options approved
by the board of directors.
