OR YEHUDA, Israel, Aug. 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 second quarter of 2014.
Financial Highlights for the Second 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 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.
- Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014, decreased 27% to $147.5 million compared to $201.2 million in the same period last year. Revenue for the second quarter was negatively impacted by the deconsolidation of Magic's and Sapiens' results of operations totaling $67.8 million, which were consolidated during all of the second quarter of 2013.
- Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, decreased 46% to $8.4 million compared to $15.4 million in the same period last year. Operating income was negatively impacted by the deconsolidation of Magic's and Sapiens' results of operations totaling $6.9 million, which were consolidated during all of the second quarter of 2013.
- Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, amounted to $2.9 million, or $0.20 per fully diluted share, compared to $4.9 million, or $0.34 per fully diluted share, in the same period last year. Net income for the second quarter of 2014 was negatively impacted by loss of $1.7 million recorded as a result of the decrease in Formula's beneficial ownership percentage in Sapiens from 47.7% to 47.1% due to the exercise of employee stock-based compensation.
Financial Highlights for the Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2014
- Revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, decreased 18% to $321.0 million compared to $389.9 million in the same period last year. Revenue for the six-month period was negatively impacted by the deconsolidation of Magic's and Sapiens' results of operations totaling $105.4 million.
- Operating income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, decreased 46% to $15.3 million compared to $28.6 million in the same period last year. Operating income was negatively impacted by the deconsolidation of Magic's and Sapiens' results of operations totaling $10.2 million.
- Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, amounted to $60.0 million (or $4.15 per fully diluted share) compared to $9.1 million (or $0.64 per fully diluted share) in the same period last year; Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 was positively impacted by a net gain of $61.4 million recorded in relation to Formula's loss of control in Magic Software described above offset by the $4.8 million loss recorded as a result of the decrease of Formula's beneficial ownership percentage in Sapiens from 48.6% to 47.1% 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 $98.9 million as of June 30, 2014.
- Total equity as of June 30, 2014 was $477.3 million (representing 53% of the total balance sheet).
Comments of Management
Commenting on the results, Guy Bernstein, CEO of Formula Systems, said, "We are pleased with our strong performance during the first half of the year across our portfolio. Matrix continued to show steady top-line growth during the first half of 2014 with revenues increasing 6% year over year. With new multi-million dollar wins, increased demand for its services and a steady pipeline of large IT projects, Matrix continues to be positioned as Israel's leading IT service provider, benefiting from increased confidence from customers, investors and market analysts. Backed with 92.8 million dollars in cash and short-term investments, Magic maintained double-digit growth momentum through the second quarter and first half of 2014 with strong performance in sales and profitability across its products and professional services. It enjoyed revenues of $40.6 million and non-GAAP operating income of $6.0 million for the second quarter, up 17% and 28% respectively year over year and reasserted its revenue guidance of $161 million to $165 million for the full-year 2014. Sapiens produced another record quarter with revenues of $38.7 million and non-GAAP operating income of $4.0 million, up 16.9% and 19.6% respectively year over year. With total cash and investments in marketable securities of $79.8 million, Sapiens maintains its confidence in its ability to deliver its full-year 2014 revenue guidance of $154 million to $158 million.
