Monica Iancu, MIND CTI CEO, commented: “During five quarters of unprecedented times as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we showed resilience and responsiveness. We have successfully operated and completed all different projects’ milestones. We proved to our customers that as always, they can count on us to tirelessly maintain and strengthen their business, under a firm business continuity program, working remotely using secured access. Our markets present a similar challenging behavior for the last few years, but we feel fortified by the diversification of our revenue streams. It is part of our strategy to pursue acquisitions, in order to enhance our market position, and we are actively seeking potential acquisition opportunities.

“Our messaging segment was favorably impacted by activities related to COVID-19 and we plan to expand the range of messaging services we offer and the technological vehicles used to deliver them to our customers, hoping to increase the rate of new customer acquisitions.”

Revenue Distribution

The Americas represented 34%, Europe represented 57% (including the Message Mobile and GTX revenues in Germany that represented 41%) and the rest of the world represented 9% of total revenues.

Customer care and billing software totaled $3.1 million, or 51% of total revenues, enterprise messaging and payment solutions were $2.5 million, or 41% of total revenues and enterprise call accounting software totaled $0.6 million, or 8% of total revenues.

Licenses totaled $0.8 million, or 13% of total revenues, while maintenance and additional services were $5.3 million, or 87% of total revenues. Licenses were uniquely high this quarter thanks to two customers’ increase in license to support exceptional growth in the number of their subscribers.

Dividend Distribution

As previously announced, the Board declared on March 4, 2021 a gross dividend of $0.26 per share with tax being withheld at a rate of 20%.

The dividend of approximately $5.2 million, is presented in our balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 among other payables. The net dividend was distributed to our shareholders and withholding taxes were paid in April 2021.

(Nasdaq: ITMR) and four years as a CPA in the Audit High Tech Team at Ernst & Young (Israel).
