Pointer Telocation Reports Record Revenues of $11.7 million for the second quarter of 2007 |
| Gross Profit increased 18.3% in Q2 2007 over Q2 2006 to $4.3 million |

Givatayim, Israel August 30th, 2007. Pointer Telocation Ltd. (Nasdaq Capital Market: PNTR; Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange: PNTR), a leading provider of services to insurance companies and car owners, including road-side assistance, towing, stolen vehicle retrieval and fleet management services in Israel, Argentina and Mexico, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2007 and the six months ended June 30, 2007.
During the quarter, Pointer continued with its growth strategy and continued to invest in marketing and business acquisitions. The company is targeting new businesses, technologies and on expanding its activities into new territories. A key element in its growth strategy is to build a global sales infrastructure and broaden the scope of its services. This strategy has resulted in operating improvements in Mexico and Argentina and increased total revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The Cellocator acquisition is expected to close during September 2007, upon the completion of certain closing conditions.
Revenues: Pointers revenues for the second quarter of 2007 increased by 15.5%, to $11.7 million from $10.1 million, in the comparable period in 2006. In the first six months of 2007, revenues were $23 million, a 16.4% increase over the same period of 2006. Pointers revenues from services in the second quarter and the first six months of 2007 were 75.8% and 74.9%, respectively, of total revenues, as compared with 78.5% and 79.1% in 2006. International activities for the second quarter of 2007 were 11.1% of total revenue compared to 10.2% in the comparable period in 2006.
Gross Profit: For the second quarter of 2007, gross profit increased 18.3% to $4.3 million from $3.6 million in Q2 2006. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit was approximately 36.8% in Q2 2007, as compared to approximately 35.9% in Q2 2006. In the first six months of 2007, gross profit increased 15.2% to $8.4 million from $7.3 million in the first six months of 2006. Gross margin for the first six months of 2007 was 36.3%, compared to 36.7% for the first six months of 2006.
Operating income: Pointers operating income was $842 thousand for the second quarter of 2007, compared to operating income of $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2006. In the first six months of 2007, operating income was $1.8 million, compared to $2.7 million for the same period of 2006. The decrease is primarily attributable to one time other income of $1.3 million associated with an agreement signed with a Latin American customer, offset by a $350 thousand impairment of long-lived assets that were recorded in the second quarter of 2006. Excluding this one time income offset by the impairment, operating income in Q2 and first six months of 2007 increased 13% and 4%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006.
Minority share: For the second quarter of 2007 and six months ended June 30, 2007, Pointer reported a $270 thousand and $704 thousand minority share in the operations of Shagrir, compared to zero in both periods of 2006. Pointer holds 56.56% interest in Shagrir.
Net loss: Pointer recorded a loss of $388 thousand during the second quarter of 2007, as compared to net income of $665 thousand in the second quarter of 2006. For the first six months of 2007, Pointer recorded a net loss of $568 thousand, compared to net income of $686 thousand in the same period of 2006. The decrease in profitability is primarily attributable to the above mentioned one time net income of $0.9 million.
EBITDA: Pointers EBITDA for the second quarter of 2007 and for the first six months of 2007 was $1.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively, as compared to $3.0 million and $4.8 million in the comparable periods of 2006 in which periods the above mentioned one time net income of $0.9 million was included.
Pointer uses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and minority interest. EBITDA is provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Companys business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of EBITDA to GAAP measures is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.
Total Shareholders Equity increased during the second quarter of 2007 to $28.7 million, mainly as a result of the proceeds from two private placements.
Danny Stern, Pointer CEO, said: We are proceeding with our efforts to increase revenues and broaden our technological solutions offerings. These are necessary steps in order to build a strong company with an expanding global presence. We hope to conclude the Cellocator acquisition before the end of the third quarter.
