("MTI", the "Company" or the "Group")
Q1 2021 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 three-month period ended 31 March 2021.
Financial highlights
· Solid revenue growth, up by 4% to $9.95m (2020: $9.55m)
· Increase in profit from operations, up 14% to $0.96m (2020: $0.84m), reflecting the benefit of increasing scale on profit margins
· Significant increase in profit before tax, up 25% to $0.9m (2020: $0.72m)
· Earnings per share increased by 20% to 0.80 US cents ( 2020 : 0.67 US cents)
· Strong cash generation with net cash up 10% to $9.5m on 31 March 2021 (31 March 2020: $8.6m), despite having paid a 2020 dividend of $2.2m in March 2021 (compared to payment of the 2019 dividend in April 2020).
Operational highlights by division
Antennas
· A one stop shop for the sale of 'off the shelf' flat and parabolic antennas, combined with the provision of custom-developed antenna solutions to a range of commercial and military customers, with a growing focus on providing 5G backhaul antenna solutions to support mobile phone operators as they roll-out their 5G networks.
· In Q1 2021, the leading mobile phone companies are now incorporating 5G connectivity in mobile devices as standard. As a result, network operators are responding by rolling out higher bandwidth 5G services increasing demand for MTI's backhaul antenna solutions, although the legacy antenna market (FBWA) was slower as implementation of projects delayed due to COVID-19.
Water Control & Management
· Operates under the Mottech brand and provides wireless control systems to manage irrigation and water distribution for agriculture, municipal authorities and commercial entities.
· Solutions reduce water and power usage, whilst providing customers with higher revenue from accurate irrigation, leading to more and higher quality crops and plants being grown.
· In Q1 2021, Mottech continued to perform well, opening a new office in Alberta Canada, securing new contract wins and retaining its long-term client base including one of Mottech's largest clients, a leading Israeli municipality which extended its contract worth up to $2.5 million for another 2-4 years.
Distribution & Professional Consulting Services
· Operates under the MTI Summit Electronics brand and represents approximately 40 international suppliers of radio frequency/microwave components and sells these products to Israeli customers.
· Expert knowledge of both the international suppliers and customers further enables MTI to act as a consultant to all parties and assist with devising complete radio frequency/microwave solutions.
· In Q1 2021, MTI Summit had another strong period, benefitting from consistent demand across its core customer base in the defence and technology sector based in Israel and the ongoing success of its Russian office.
· MTI Summit's tethered balloon project continued to generate good revenues and demand for future design solutions remains high, which bodes well for the outlook for this division.
Moni Borovitz, Chief Executive Officer of MTI Wireless Edge, said:
"We have enjoyed a good start to the year. The majority of our markets are functioning well, with our home market, Israel, largely back to normal as far as COVID-19 is concerned. Trading is still likely to be disrupted in some areas but overall, given the experience gained last year when operating under the Covid-19 restrictions, we are confident in the ability of our teams to trade effectively.
"The Group's financial performance over Q1 was encouraging. Of particular note, is the continued growth in revenue, combined with the sharper growth in profitability as we benefit from our economies of scale, which translated into a 25% improvement in profit before tax. Cash generation was also positive, showing an increase in our net cash position of 10% to $9.5m as at 31 March 2021 ($8.6m 31 March 2020), despite having paid the 2020 dividend ($2.2m) in March 2021 ( compared to the payment of the 2019 dividend of $1.8m in April 2020) . The Company is therefore, we believe, in good financial health.
"Each division is showing clear progress against their respective growth strategies. In 2020 the Covid-19 pandemic emphasised to the world the importance of mobile connectivity and this has accelerated the global roll-out of 5G. As a result, take-up of our 5G backhaul solution is moving ahead positively. Similarly, water scarcity remains a key issue amongst governments worldwide and Mottech's water management solutions are benefiting from the need to reduce water wastage and the cost savings associated with efficient irrigation. Our distribution and professional consulting services business, MTI Summit, has over the last three years established a track record of consistent growth, boosted by increases in defence spending and in particular increased reliance on wireless technologies across the sector.
"Looking ahead, we believe the Company's clear focus on providing radio frequency solutions coupled to being diversified across several markets positions us well to continue to grow and expand through a mix of acquisition led and organic growth."
Moni Borovitz, Chief Executive Officer, will provide a live investor presentation relating to the financial results for the three-month period ended 31 March 2021 alongside a brief case study on MTI Summit Electronics Ltd, the Group's Distribution and Professional Consulting Services Division, via the Investor Meet Company ("IMC") platform today at 10.00 am UK time.

Note 5 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:
A. On 28 February 2021, the Board of directors declared a cash dividend of 2.5 US cents per share, representing approximately $2,213,000, in total. This dividend was paid on 31 March 2021 to shareholders on the register at the close of trading on 19 March 2021.
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 £150,000 (the "Programme"). On 25 January 2021, the Company announced that the board of directors of the Company and the board of directors of MTI Engineering had decided to continue with the Programme for another six months until 26 July 2021. As at 31 March 2021, no Ordinary Shares were held in treasury under the Programme.
C. On 4 February 2021, the Company's subsidiary Mottech Water Solutions Ltd registered and opened a fully owned subsidiary in Canada and is working on establishing its activities in Canada.
D. Outbreak of COVID-19 and Business Continuity - In December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in China, and the virus has spread to many countries around the world. In January 2020, the World Health Organization announced the outbreak of the Coronavirus as a global health emergency, and in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the pandemic to be a global pandemic. The spread of the virus is an unusual event on its scale and is dynamic and emergent. Policymakers around the world were forced to take unprecedented steps to curb the pandemic, including the isolation of civilians and establishing strict regulations and rules to create social distancing, to reduce the chances of infection. This included restricting inbound and outbound flights. Along with the dangerous impacts on human lives as a result of the outbreak, significant global and local business impacts have been recorded. While the Group's offices were partially and/or temporarily closed (depending on country of operations) during
2020, the Group was able to maintain good levels of operation using remote work procedures and a sufficient level of production in its production facilities while assuring the health of employees. As of the date of this report the Group has resumed operations in all of its facilities (still under health requirements and regulations), although the facility in India has recently been operating under stricter conditions as there are still significant challenges in that territory.
All aspects of the Group's supply chain are working slower, and the Company's industry has been affected on the operational level, along with the rest of the world economy as it faces the risk of a global recession where the ability to predict the timing of a recovery is uncertain.
The introduction of vaccines, and their fast adoption in Israel and consequences, does provide hope that the recovery will start worldwide in the near term, but there is still uncertainty regarding the duration for which vaccines will be efficacious.
Note 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On 19 April 2021 at an extra ordinary shareholders meeting, Mrs. Lihi Elimelech Bechor was re-elected at as external director for another three year term.
