These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those statements regarding the proposed series of transactions, and timing of certain events associated therewith, with BNN Technologies PLC, or BNN, those statements regarding our belief that with an increasing number of companies having met their Electronic Logging Device, or ELD, mandate requirements, we are seeing a drop in demand and changes in customers’ needs, our belief that we expect to deliver on our backlog in the fourth quarter of 2018, the timing of the release and success of new market initiatives, projects and product offerings and the potential for a second phase of additional trucks that may require compliance with the ELD mandate. Such forward-looking statements and their implications involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or performance to differ materially from those projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During this call, in addition to the GAAP financial measures, management will discuss non-GAAP financial measures, as defined by SEC Regulation G, including non-GAAP net (loss) income. These non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation expenses and the amortization of intangible assets. These non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, a substitute for or superior to our GAAP results, and we encourage you to consider all measures when analyzing MICT’s performance. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is included in today’s press release regarding our quarterly results and can be also found in the Investor Relations section of our website: www.mict-inc.com/IR-Company.

We will start with an opening message from David, who will give an overview of business developments for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. Then, we will move to review the numbers with Tali and we will wrap up with Q&A. I will now turn the call over to David, who will begin the presentation on slide 3. Please go ahead, David.
David Lucatz:
Slide 4. | Thank you, good morning everyone. |
We believe that with an increasing number of companies having met their ELD mandate requirements, we are now seeing a drop in demand and change in customers’ needs. As a result, MICT experienced a decrease in revenues and gross margins in Q3 2018 as compared to Q3 2017. Q3 2018 revenues decreased by 60% to $2.2 million over Q3 2017 revenues of $5.5 million. Gross profit decreased by 96% to $0.05 million in Q3 2018 as compared to $1.5 million in Q3 2017. Gross margin decreased to 2% in Q3 2018 from 27% Q3 2017.
Our backlog was $0.6 million as of September 30, 2018. We believe we will be able to deliver on this backlog in Q4 2018.
Our results for the first nine months of 2018 were more favorable. Revenue increased by 8% to $12.9 million for the first nine months of 2018, compared to $12.0 million in the first nine months of 2017. Gross profit increased 22% to $3.3 million the first nine months of 2018, compared to $2.7 million in the first nine months of 2017. Gross profit margin was 26% in the first nine months of 2018, as compared to 22% in the first nine months of 2017.
Slide 5. | On slide 5 we present our market status and business developments. New orders were slower than expected during the third quarter and we believe this was the result of most MRM companies having spent their budgets fulfilling ELD mandated requirements. |
4 |
Some of our backlog remains unfulfilled and we plan to deliver on those orders in Q4 2018.
We are gaining traction with new marketplace initiatives that include co-marketing, subcontracting and distribution agreements. We are also working on long term customer acquisition projects with larger fleets in the U.S. and Europe.
We are also seeing strong Interest from the market for our Smart Connected Camera that is due to be sold commercially during 2019 and will enable services such as ADAS, Driver Awareness and other applications as part of Fleet Management.
Our next-generation LTE certification is in the process to be completed. All aspects of the certification that were dependent on Micronet are complete. We are now just waiting on iterations from our original device manufacturer.
Strategic partnership agreement with established ASP in the space to launch Android-based Smart dual camera for ADAS and real time vision analytics.
Additionally, while we are focusing our efforts on improving our business performance, we are also continuing to negotiate a definitive agreement for the transactions contemplated by the letter of intent entered into with BNN Technology PLC announced on July 2, 2018.
Slides 6. | On slide 6 we have outlined our research and development and new product and service development initiatives to potentially drive future revenues. |
We are building the back-end system for a commercial website that will serve the MRM market. It will launch with 5-6 applications that we intend to sell to the MRM market.
Our TAB8 is under development and we expect the prototype to be ready in Q2 2019 and mass production by the 2nd half of 2019.
The Micronet Smart Camera that we are developing is expected to be in mass production during the second half of 2019.
We expect another bulk of 1-2 million trucks to be required to meet the ELD mandate by December 2019. This second phase expects to include bigger fleets than in phase one, which are more suitable for Micronet’s product.
I will now turn the call to Tali for a financial review.
