PETACH-TIKVA, Israel, November 22, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) Eltek Ltd., the leading Israeli manufacturer of advanced flex-rigid circuitry solutions, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2007.
Eltek reported revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 of $ 8.8 million compared with $ 8.6 million for the second quarter of 2007 and $ 10.0 million for the third quarter of 2006. The year-over-year decrease in revenues is attributable to reduced sales to the Companys previous largest customer, who notified the Company towards the end of the second quarter that it was terminating production for its principal product as such product reached the end of its lifecycle. Revenues from that customer were $ 840,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and $ 2.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006. Excluding sales associated with that customer, third quarter revenues increased by $1.3 million compared to the same quarter in 2006, and increased by $700,000 on a sequential basis. While the Company expects that its revenues will continue to be impacted by the loss of sales to that customer in the fourth quarter, it expects a sequential increase in revenues and improved operating results in the quarter.
The Company incurred a loss in the third quarter of $ 223,000, or ($ 0.03) per fully diluted share compared with net income of $ 482,000, or $ 0.07 per fully diluted share, for the same quarter in 2006. The loss is mainly attributable to the aforementioned reduction in sales.

Revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 were $ 27.6 million compared with revenues of $ 28.9 million for the comparable period in 2006. Excluding sales relating to the discontinued customer product, revenues in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 increased by $ 2.7 million compare to the same period in 2006.
Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 was $171,000, or $ 0.03 per fully diluted share, compared with a net income of $1.6 million or $ 0.23 per fully diluted share for the same period in 2006. The reduction in net income is mainly attributable to the reduction in sales and the negative impact of the devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the NIS.
In the third quarter of 2007, Eltek had EBITDA of $163,000 compared to EBITDA of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2006. In the first nine months of 2007, Eltek had EBITDA of $ 2.0 million compared with EBITDA of $ 3.7 million in the same period in 2006. The reduction in EBITDA is mainly attributable to the reasons described above.
ELTEK uses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Companys business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Effective January 1, 2007, The Companys consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the Companys reporting currency has been changed from NIS to U.S. dollars. The financial statements for all years (or periods) presented are translated into the reporting currency using the current rate method. Under this method, the income statement and the cash flow statement items for each year (or period) are translated into the reporting currency using the rates in effect at the date of the transactions, and assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at the end of that year (or period), except for equity accounts which are translated using historical exchange rates. All resulting exchange differences, which do not affect the Companys earnings, are reported in the accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders equity. In the case of a change in reporting currency, this method of translation results in the financial statements of prior years (or periods) presented for comparison being translated as if the reporting currency used in the current year (or period) had been used for at least all periods shown. The Company believes that presenting the financial statements in U.S. dollars and under US-GAAP delivers more meaningful and relevant financial information to its shareholders.
Excluding sales associated with the discontinued customer product, in Q3 we managed to grow our revenues both on a sequential and year over year basis, said Arieh Reichart, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eltek. This achievement reflects our continued success in gaining new tier-one customers, as well as our strengthened position within our diverse high end customer base. Furthermore, many of our new serial production engagements are still in the early stages, and represent significant opportunities for future expansion.
Mr. Reichart continued, Our recently expanded marketing efforts are progressing very well. Combined with ramped up production capacity and improved production processes and efficiencies, we feel that we are poised to exploit and operationally leverage the tremendous long term growth opportunities in the global high-end PCBs market.
Looking into the fourth quarter of 2007, we currently expect a sequential revenues growth and an improvement in operational results. We also expect continuation of the trend of year over year revenues growth, excluding the impact of sales to the above mentioned large customer, he concluded.
Amnon Shemer, CFO of Eltek added The devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the NIS continued to have a negative impact on our operating margins, as the average exchange rate between the NIS and the U.S. dollar in the third quarter of 2007 was 4.3% lower than that of the third quarter of 2006. On the other hand, we recorded an income of $ 349,000 from hedging transactions that we performed in order to reduce the negative impact of the devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the NIS on our operating margins.

In the first nine months of 2007 we invested $2.0 million in machinery and infrastructure for further capacity ramp-up. We are just beginning to experience the positive impact on our production processes and efficiencies and expect to realize more benefits in 2008 and onwards. Mr. Shemer concluded.
