OR YEHUDA, Israel, Nov. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Formula Systems (1985) Ltd. (NASDAQ: FORTY), a global information technology holding company engaged, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, in providing software consulting services and computer-based business solutions and developing proprietary software products, today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2017
Financial Highlights for Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2017
Comments of Management
"Formula's third quarter results show solid improvement as evidenced by the group's strong revenue growth" said Guy Bernstein, CEO of Formula.
"Matrix crossed the quarterly revenue mark of $200 million for the first time, and achieved growth across all financial indicators. Matrix reported record-breaking revenues of $203.7 million and $576.4 million in the third quarter and in the first nine months of 2017, reflecting an increase of 13.2% and 12.4% year over year, respectively. Matrix's financial strength, its position in the market and its thousands of experts with the experience and knowledge at its disposal, enable Matrix to provide its customers with innovative technologies and solutions that address the challenges of the market.
Sapiens' third quarter results demonstrate another quarter of double-digit revenue growth and incremental progress. Sapiens reported record-breaking revenues of $72 million reflecting a year over year increase of 28%, with non-GAAP operating margin improving from 4.7% in the previous quarter to 12.5%. This solid improvement is primarily a result of the successful integration of StoneRiver (Sapiens' recent acquisition) and the implementation of cost-saving measures enacted following the halt of the development project that Sapiens reported in the first quarter. Sapiens is maintaining its guidance for 2017 full year revenues of $265 to $275 million (on a non-GAAP basis), which is expected to be on the higher end. Sapiens is also maintaining its expectations for full-year operating profit margin between 9-10% (on a non-GAAP basis), which is expected to be on the lower end.
Magic continued its double-digit growth momentum through the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 with strong performance in sales and revenues across its products and professional services. It enjoyed revenues of $66 million and non-GAAP operating income of $9.1 million for the third quarter, up 21% and 17% respectively year over year, driven primarily by organic growth. Due to better visibility, Magic narrowed its revenue guidance to between $250 million and $255 million for the full-year 2017, up from their prior guidance of between $245 million and $255 million. Magic's ever-growing portfolio, including Magic xpc iPaaS Platform, its most recent release, provides both the solutions and services needed by enterprises to succeed in today's digital marketplace.
TSG (held jointly by Formula and Israel Aerospace Industries ("IAI")) together with IAI, were declared winners of Israel's Ministry of Defense (IMOD) tender as part of the "IDF Network" program for leading the transfer of the IDF's computers infrastructure (currently operating in dozens of locations) to centralized, advanced data centers and will consolidate dozens of computer centers, currently scattered across the country, and establish modern computer centers. Six leading Israeli and international technology groups competed in the tender. The scope of the project is estimated at hundreds of millions of shekels over the next decade. This win is the largest technological tender in the history of the IDF and the IMOD.
We are excited about Michpal's market opportunity following the release of a new product and a new service line - "Michpal Pension" and "Michpal PensionPlus". These solutions enable all employers to digitally report their employees' pension fund payments to their respective pension funds as required by law (all employers who employ more than 21 employees required to digitally report their pension fund payments from February 1, 2018 ; employers with no more than 20 employees will be required from February 1, 2019)".
