SuperCom Reports Full Year 2013 Financial Results

HERZLIYA, Israel, March 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SuperCom Ltd (NASDAQ: SPCB), a leading provider of Electronic Intelligence Solutions for National ID, Public Safety and HealthCare, today announced its results for the full year of 2013.

The acquisition of the SmartID division from On Track Innovations (NASDAQ: OTIV) was completed in December 2013 and therefore SuperCom's consolidated balance sheet for December 31, 2013 includes the assets and liabilities of the acquired division. The operations of the SmartID division will significantly contribute to SuperCom's results starting from the first quarter of 2014.

Financial Highlights

  • Full year revenue of $8.8 million;
  • Full year gross margin of 79%;
  • Full year net income of $6.5 million;
  • Full year EPS at $0.71;
  • Year end shareholders' equity of $19.4 million.

"2013 has been an important year from both a business and strategic perspective," commented Arie Trabelsi, CEO of SuperCom. "In the fourth quarter, we invested substantial resources and funds to acquire and merge the operations of the SmartID division. We have worked hard to consolidate our operations in order to unlock the untapped potential and realize the true value of the combined business. In 2014, we have already received new orders and won new business which will positively contribute to our results."

Continued Mr. Trabelsi, "From a financial perspective, 2013 was also a good year. We ended the year raising money through a secondary offering which increased our working capital, strengthened our balance sheet and financed the acquisition. We continued to present strong business results across all parameters, at a time when management was also focused on completing a major acquisition and public offering, indicating the strength and stability of our operations."   

Concluded Mr. Trabelsi, "I look forward to an exciting year in 2014 as we continue to work hard increasing shareholder value by leveraging our outstanding team, along with our technologies and solutions geared to our fast growing applicable markets."
