Monica Iancu, MIND CTI CEO, commented: “Our messaging segment was favorably impacted by singular campaigns carried out by a few customers. This unprecedented growth in our messaging segment is temporary in nature. At the same time, our telecom markets continue to be challenging, with low demand and strong competition. The messaging markets, unlike our traditional ones, are difficult to predict, as external factors have a strong impact on both revenues and margins. As the proportion of messaging business out of our total revenue increases, we expect our business results to present higher volatility in revenue, margins, and cash flows compared to past years. We continue to invest in new technologies and are expanding our platforms to better support digital transformations.”

Cash Position

Our cash position, including short and long-term deposits and marketable securities, was $15.4 million as of June 30, 2021, compared with $12.8 million as of June 30, 2020. Cash position fluctuates between quarters as a result of timing of payments, mainly in the messaging segment.

As previously announced, the Board declared, on March 4, 2021, a cash dividend of $0.26 per share before withholding tax. The dividend declared and distributed in April 2021 was approximately $5.2 million.

Revenue Distribution for Q2 2021

The Americas represented 35%, Europe represented 57% and the rest of the world represented 8% of total revenues.

Customer care and billing software totaled $3.0 million, or 43% of total revenues, enterprise messaging and payment solutions were $3.6 million, or 50% of total revenues and enterprise call accounting software totaled $0.6 million, or 7% of total revenues.

Maintenance and additional services were over 99% of total revenues.

Revenue Distribution for the First Six Months of 2021

The Americas represented 34%, Europe represented 57% and the rest of the world represented 9% of total revenues.

Customer care and billing software totaled $6.1 million, or 46% of total revenues, enterprise messaging and payment solutions were $6.1 million, or 46% of total revenues and enterprise call accounting software totaled $1.1 million, or 8% of total revenues.

Maintenance and additional services were 94% of total revenues.

Active Pursuit of Acquisitions

As previously announced, we continue targeting potential acquisitions that could be a source of growth, by focusing on acquisition targets at reasonable valuations that satisfy the criteria we defined: proven revenues, complementary technology or geography and expected accretion to earnings within two to three quarters.

In the last few years, when evaluating acquisition targets, we faced increased competition from cash-rich corporations as well as the private equity industry, both sectors having high liquidity that they allocate to M&A activities.

The excess of demand for acquisition targets has pushed valuations to highs, making it ever more challenging for us to find attractive deals.
