Management Commentary
"The second quarter was in line with our expectations, with meaningful progress on our key corporate initiatives," said Ofer Tziperman, the company's outgoing CEO. "This included securing new strategic partnerships, driving sequential topline growth, and generating greater operating efficiencies to continue our march toward profitability. From a sales perspective, we continued to expand our key global partnerships and distribution channels, including securing two new channel partners.

"Earlier this week, our board appointed my successor, Shlomi Cohen, who will officially take effect on August 11th. Shlomi is a very talented and accomplished executive who has the right set of skills and experience to take oti to its next level of growth and development."

Cohen commented: "I would like to thank Ofer, as well as the board of directors, for assisting in a seamless CEO transition. Working together, we have already established a number of strategies and initiatives that I plan to immediately implement or carry forward, which are designed to build upon the strong progress oti has made over the last few years.

"Our technologies have been widely accepted and proven in the field, and during his tenure, Ofer did a tremendous job restructuring and realigning the company's operations to take advantage of its core strengths. So, now in the next stage of our development we plan to cost-effectively accelerate our growth by leveraging our well-established global partnerships and worldwide distribution channels, allowing us to further penetrate existing markets as well as enter new ones. 

"Given the tremendous global market opportunity for NFC, which was greatly strengthened by the adoption of the wireless transaction technology by Apple and Google, oti's patented and proven NFC technology is well positioned to generate long-term revenue growth and reach profitability. I'm looking forward to working with our customers, world-class partners, and our dedicated and talented employees to realize the potential of our NFC technology that has already delivered millions of secure transitions around world."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains certain non-GAAP measures, namely, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, or adjusted earnings from continuing operations before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations represents earnings before interest or financing expenses, income tax, depreciation and amortization, and further eliminates the effect of share-based compensation expense, patent litigation and maintenance expenses and other expenses. oti believes that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations should be considered in evaluating the company's operations since it provides a clearer indication of oti's operating results. This measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with US GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for the US GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the US GAAP results in the tables below.
