Key Q&A
Q:Can you highlight a couple of new customers you are particularly enthusiastic about?
A:The main new customers are overseas clients, mainly from India. Recently, there was significant engagement with Indian companies, including meetings with Indian ministers in Israel.
Q:When do you expect revenues from the new Indian customer to impact your P&L?
A:The revenues have already impacted the P&L for the first 9 months of the year, with a 24% growth in revenues from the international market compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by the Indian market.
Q:Can you expand on the loss in the RFID division and the logistics center slowdown in Israel?
A:The RFID division, focused on the civil market, faced challenges due to Middle East conflicts and the U.S. dollar devaluation against the Israeli shekel. However, operational and business model changes, along with geopolitical improvements, are expected to lead to a rebound in demand and profitability in Q4.
Q:Can you quantify the currency impact on your P&L and explain your hedging strategy?
A:The U.S. dollar devaluation against the Israeli shekel by 11% in the last 6 months created approximately $0.5 million in additional cost pressure on operating income. The company hedges balance sheet exposure but is focusing on long-term solutions like sales price adjustments and operational efficiency improvements.
Q:How should we think about the end of the war in Gaza and its impact on your P&L and growth?
A:The defense segment, which constitutes 90% of the Supply Chain division, benefits from tensions, while the civil market (RFID division) does not. Historically, the defense market in Israel grows year-over-year, even in peacetime, with an average growth rate of about 7%.
Q:Will you need to raise equity for M&A activities?
A:No, the company has over $7 million in cash and no bank debt. For acquisitions up to $10 million, 50% can be financed through bank loans, allowing the company to use existing cash without raising equity.
Q:What percentage of your defense business is in Israel versus internationally, and how do you expect this to change?
A:Out of $38 million in 9-month sales, $3.6 million were international defense-related sales. The company is actively working to increase this number, particularly in India, and expects this trend to continue.
Q:Is there an update on opening a branch office in India?
A:The company is exploring efficient ways to establish a presence in India and expects to see results from these plans next year.
Q:Have you considered moving operations outside of Israel to reduce costs?
A:The company is considering options, such as conducting sales to India from India, to reduce costs. However, the primary goal of international sales is to increase revenue rather than cost savings.
Q:How do you plan to make the company less cyclical and achieve sustainable growth?
A:The company aims to increase international sales, grow through acquisitions, and expand its portfolio. The defense segment has shown consistent growth over the years, even during peacetime.
Q:Are you looking at specific M&A opportunities, and what is your strategy for the next 1-2 years?
A:The company plans to close one M&A deal next year and aims to complete one every two years, targeting profitable Israeli defense sector companies. The goal is to reach $100 million in revenue through organic growth and acquisitions.
Q:Why not borrow money for M&A instead of issuing equity?
A:For a $10 million acquisition, 50% can be financed through bank loans, and the remaining $5 million can be covered with existing cash. The company does not see a need to issue equity for such transactions.
Q:How much unused credit does the company currently have?
A:The company has $1.5 million to $2 million in unused revolving credit lines for organic growth, with additional financing available for acquisitions.
Q:When will you visit the U.S. to meet investors?
A:The company plans to visit the U.S. in April next year and will also participate in a virtual summit in the meantime.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided giving a direct answer to the question about moving operations outside of Israel to reduce costs, stating it was a good idea but requiring further consideration. Additionally, the response about opening a branch office in India lacked specific details and timelines.
