OR YEHUDA, Israel, May 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Formula Systems (1985) Ltd. (NASDAQ: FORTY) a global information technology company principally engaged, through its subsidiary and affiliates, in providing software consulting services, developing proprietary software products, and providing computer-based business solutions, today announced its results for the first quarter of 2014.
Financial Highlights for the First Quarter of 2014
- In March 2014, Magic Software issued 6,900,000 of its ordinary shares in a follow-on public offering, of which Formula purchased 700,000 ordinary shares at a price of $8.50 per share. As a result of the offering, our beneficial ownership percentage in Magic Software decreased from 51.6% to 45.0%, resulting in the deconsolidation of Magic Software's from our financial statements. Following the said deconsolidation and starting March 5, 2014, our investment in Magic Software is measured under the equity method of accounting. The gain recognized in relation to Formula's loss of control in Magic Software in the first quarter of 2014 amounted to $61.4 million, net of preliminary estimated related deferred taxes.
- Operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, decreased 47% to $7.0 million compared to $13.1 million in the same period last year. Operating income was negatively impacted by the deconsolidation of Magic and Sapiens results of operations, which were consolidated during all of the first quarter of 2013.
- Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, amounted to $57.1 million, or $3.99 per fully diluted share, compared to $4.2 million, or $0.30 per fully diluted share, in the same period last year. Net income for the first quarter of 2014 was positively impacted by the net gain recorded in relation to Formula's loss of control in Magic Software described above offset by $3.1 million loss recorded as a result of decrease of Formula beneficial ownership percentage in Sapiens from 48.6% to 47.7% due to the exercise of employee stock based compensation and warrants.
- Consolidated cash and short-term and long-term investments in marketable securities totaled approximately $99.4 million as of March 31, 2014.
- Total equity as of March 31, 2014 was $480.8 million (representing 54% of the total balance sheet).
Comments of Management
Commenting on the results, Guy Bernstein, CEO of Formula Systems, said, "We are pleased with the strong opening to the year in terms of both revenues and profits across our portfolio.
