73% Revenue growth Q3 vs Q2 2014

Successful consolidation of the US vehicle operation

Montvale, NJ November 6, 2014 -- Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQCM: MICT), a developer and manufacturer of rugged computers, tablets and computer-based systems for the commercial Mobile Resource Management (MRM) market and for the defense and aerospace markets, today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

David Lucatz, Chief Executive Officer of Micronet Enertec Technologies, Inc. stated, “I am proud to say that in Q3 we achieved a major milestone in the life of MICT. With a 73% sequential revenue growth from the second quarter and a 43% year-over-year growth this is by far the strongest quarter ever. Now, with a diversified customer base and probably the most comprehensive product offering in the MRM rugged tablets industry, we are well positioned to continue the growth momentum, fulfilling our strategy to become the major supplier of rugged Tablets to the multibillion MRM growing market.

Our MRM revenues sequentially grew by 107% and by 38% compared with 3rd quarter of 2013. Our aerospace and defense revenues sequentially grew by 21% and by 58% compared to 3rd quarter of 2013.

Our June 2014 acquisition of the U.S. MRM business has been nothing less than transformative – centralizing our MRM operations in the U.S., providing a first class sales team, and positioning us to capitalize on the local fleet vertical, the largest vertical in the MRM space. The shifting composition of our revenue – which now is comprised of significantly more local fleet customers with increased diversity - demonstrates our success to date. Local fleet vertical now accounts for approximately 50% of our MRM quarterly revenues, up from 18% in 2013. Furthermore, last year we had one large customer dominate much of our revenue in our MRM division; today we have a diverse and growing base of excellent customers. We had a net loss attributed to Micronet Enertec for the quarter of $0.5 million however, following the successful sales and marketing reorganization, we are in process of consolidating operations and R&D activities that will contribute to future higher margins and profits “.

Third Quarter 2014 Review

● Total revenue increased by 43.5% to $11.4 million, as compared to $8 million in the third quarter of 2013, mainly due to consolidation of the U.S vehicle operation and organic growth of 58% in our aerospace and defense business. Sequentially, revenues increased 73% compared to the second quarter of 2014. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the June acquisition of Beijer Electronics’ MRM division.

● Gross profit margin for the quarter decreased to 25% from gross margin of 45% in the same quarter last year. This decrease was primarily due the first time full quarter consolidation of expenses with the new U.S. based facility combined with a different product mix. The company expects gross margins to improve going forward as it completes the reorganization and consolidation of the U.S. operation.

● Selling General & Administrative (SG&A) expense were relatively flat as a percentage of sales at 19.2%.

● The Company reported an operating loss of $170,000 as compared to operating income of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2013.

● Net loss attributable to Micronet Enertec for the third quarter was $0.5 million or a loss of ($0.09) per basic and diluted share.

● At September 30, 2014 the Company reported cash and marketable securities totaling $13.5 million and working capital of $17.3 million.

● Backlog at September 30, 2014 was $13.3 million compared to $14.4 million at December 30, 2013.

Mr. Lucatz continued, “We returned to EBITDA profitability as we move through this transition period of integrating the U.S. operation and develop our revenue base. We expect this trend to continue going forward as we scale and as our product mix evolves.”

“An important element of our growth strategy is forging strategic relationships to help bring our solutions to customers. During the quarter we established a partnership with Verizon to make our mobile data terminals more widely available to their customers, VARs and channel partners. Furthermore, our Android-enabled M-307 computer tablet was certified by XRS Corporation to run the XRS solution.

“Our defense and aerospace business had a very strong quarter driven by robust demand for our sophisticated solutions for missile defense systems. As a leader in this field, we provide a cutting edge technology which potentially supports demand for our advanced missile defense systems as the threat of missile attacks unfortunately escalates with international unrest.”

Mr. Lucatz concluded, “Revenue in the back half of this year is progressing beyond our expectations and we anticipate that fourth quarter will be of similar magnitude to the third quarter. Micronet Enertec is squarely positioned in the large and fast growing local fleet portion of the MRM market. Our products are being well received and we are developing the right partnerships to continue to grow.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP"), we provide additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”). Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate our financial performance.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in our business, as they exclude expenses and gains that are not reflective of our ongoing operating results. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

The non-GAAP adjustments, and the basis for excluding them from non-GAAP financial measures, are outlined below:

Amortization of acquired intangible assets - We are required to amortize the intangible assets, included in our GAAP financial statements, related to the Transaction. The amount of an acquisition’s purchase price allocated to intangible assets and term of its related amortization are unique to the Transaction and Acquisition. The amortization of acquired intangible assets are non-cash charges. We believe that such changes do not reflect our operational performance. Therefore, we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets to provide investors with a consistent basis for comparing pre- and post-Transaction operating results.

Amortization of note discount and related expenses - These interest expenses are non-cash and are related to amortization of discount of the UTA Capital LLC notes. Such expenses do not reflect our on-going operations and most of them will be incurred up to the end of fiscal 2014.

Change in fair value of call options and warrants – The change in fair value of the call options relating to the Acquisition is recorded as interest expense. The change in fair value is derived primarily from Micronet’s share price and does not reflect our on-going operations.

Stock-based compensation is share based awards granted to certain individuals. They are non-cash and affected by our historical stock prices which are irrelevant to forward-looking analyses and are not necessarily linked to our operational performance.

Expenses related to the purchase of a business - These expenses relate directly to the purchase of the Vehicle Business and consist mainly of legal and accounting fees, finder’s fees and travel expenses. We believe that these expenses do not reflect our operational performance. Therefore, we exclude them to provide investors with a consistent basis for comparing pre- and post-Vehicle Business purchase operating results.
