Comments of Management

Commenting on the results, Guy Bernstein, CEO of Formula Systems, said, “We are pleased with our strong performance across our portfolio during the third quarter. Matrix continues to show steady top-line growth with revenues increasing in the third quarter by 14% year over year and during the nine-month period by 12% year over year. Matrix’s operating income grew 25% during the third quarter to reach $9.9 million as the company benefitted from increased demand for its services and increased its market share internationally and across all its Israeli markets. Backed with $85 million in cash and short-term investments, Magic maintained its double-digit growth momentum throughout the third quarter and the first nine months, with strong performance in sales and profitability across its products and professional services. Magic finished the first nine months with record revenues for the period of $121.8 million, up 17% over year, and record non-GAAP operating income for the period of $18.9 million, up 19% year over year, and reasserted its revenue guidance of $161 million to $165 million for the full-year 2014. Sapiens produced another record quarter with revenues of $40.4 million and non-GAAP operating income of $4.4 million, up 16.7% and 22.6%, respectively year over year. With total cash and investments in marketable securities of $78.4 million, Sapiens continues delivering strong revenue growth, improved profitability and cash flow, and an expanding pipeline of opportunities, allowing it to maintain confidence in its ability to deliver the high end of its guidance of $154 to $158 million of revenues for the full year".
