Management Commentary
"During the third quarter, we made meaningful progress with new key initiatives designed to optimize our manufacturing processes, accelerate growth and reduce costs," said Shlomi Cohen, CEO of oti. "These efforts resulted in lower operating expenses and improved gross margins, and an overall leaner, more efficient organization.
"While we experienced strong growth in our petroleum segment in Q3, our retail segment sales declined. The company over recent years has primarily focused on restructuring and R&D activity, and has not benefited as much as it could have from growth in the global NFC market. However, it is clear that our company has all the right elements in place, including industry leading technology and world-class R&D, to be a leader in the multi-billion dollar global cashless payments market.
"To take better advantage of these strengths, over the last few months we have begun to implement a new go-to-market strategy to transition oti into a more capable sales organization in order to capture greater market share in the NFC space. We have been actively recruiting new sales and marketing professionals to address emerging opportunities in Europe, Asia Pacific and North America.
"We recently introduced a new product lineup to support the success of our sales team, particularly as we enter new markets and industry growth verticals. One of the revolutionary new products we introduced at Money20/20 last month was the oti Pay Capsule, a wearable NFC payment device.
"Pay Capsule plays into The Internet of Things revolution, the emerging hyper-connected world that is transforming the way consumers interact and transact. Pay Capsule eliminates the boundaries of how we pay by delivering a secure digital payment experience using virtually any personal item, such as rings, fitness bands, car key fobs, and apparel. We plan to complete the rollout of Pay Capsule and other new product additions in 2016.
"Our operational progress in the third quarter along with our expanding product portfolio, sales pipeline and partner channels have set the stage for a better finish to the year and an even stronger 2016. While there is more work to be done, we are in a strong position to capitalize on the global growth in the cashless payment market."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains certain non-GAAP measures, namely, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, or adjusted earnings from continuing operations before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations represents earnings before interest or financing expenses, income tax, depreciation and amortization, and further eliminates the effect of share-based compensation expense, patent litigation and maintenance expenses and other expenses. oti believes that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations should be considered in evaluating the company's operations since it provides a clearer indication of oti's operating results. This measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with US GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for the US GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the US GAAP results in the tables below.
