Management Comment

David Mahlab, Pointer's Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"We are very excited to report record revenue of $21.4 million in the second quarter, driven by significant product revenue in North America. We are seeing increasing traction in this key expansion market as we benefit from synergies with our primary partner, ID Systems, and we expect to accelerate our combined efforts there as we fully integrate our business and operations, post-acquisition. We believe we are on track to close this transaction in October 2019 after the parties extended the date after which each party can terminate the merger agreement without cause until the end of October.

Meanwhile in other major markets we saw strong growth in Brazil in the second quarter based on wins we announced earlier this year, and we expect to continue this momentum in Brazil and other Latin America markets.

During the fourth quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, we significantly reduced services to low margin customers, cutting approximately 15,000 low revenue subscribers in total, in order to enhance our long-term profitability. In the second quarter of 2019, we executed our plans and returned to subscriber growth of about 4% quarter-over-quarter. We expect to continued momentum in our service subscriber growth going forward.

For the remainder of 2019, we continue to expect double-digit growth in our overall business comparing same period in 2018, with accelerating growth on our top line and continuing investment in new products and solutions, particularly for the North American market."

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis

A reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Pointer uses EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP net income and presentation of results in a constant currency based on the local currencies in which operations are conducted prior to giving effect to exchange rates into U.S. dollars as Non-GAAP financial performance measurements.

Pointer calculates EBITDA by adding back to net income financial expenses, taxes and depreciation and amortization of intangible assets. Pointer calculates adjusted EBITDA by adding back to EBITDA Stock-based compensation expenses and acquisition related costs. Pointer calculates Non-GAAP operating income by adding back to operating income the effects of non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of long-lived assets and losses and acquisition related costs. Pointer calculates Non-GAAP net income by adding back to net income the effects of non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of long lived assets, non-cash tax expenses and acquisition related costs.

Pointer calculates results on a constant currency based on the local currencies on a nominal value, without giving effect to conversion into U.S. dollar.

The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of the Company's performance exclusive of Non-GAAP charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company's core operating results and to neutralize fluctuations in local currencies against the dollar.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP operating and net income and presentation of results on a constant currency basis are provided to investors to complement the results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes these measures help to illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses these measures to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. Management believes that these Non-GAAP measures help investors to understand the Company's current and future operating cash flow and performance, especially as the Company's acquisitions have resulted in amortization and non-cash items that have had a material impact on the Company's GAAP profits. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP operating and net income and presentation of results on a constant currency basis should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These Non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
