Management Commentary - Shlomi Cohen (OTI CEO)

"The second quarter of 2017 marks a significant milestone in our plan to bring OTI to its full potential.  We are pleased to report quarterly revenues of more than $6.9 million dollars and quarterly positive adjusted EBITDA income of more than $500,000. This represents not only the highest quarterly revenue level since we started our overhaul of OTI's operations two years ago, but also the highest quarterly revenue achieved since the second quarter of 2014."

"Our achievements for the second quarter of 2017 result from significant growth in both our retail segment and petroleum segment.  In our retail segment, we saw increased sales and the delivery of new products into new and expanding markets and verticals together with outstanding achievement to recover in very short time on lost accounts. In the US market alone we saw a growth of 200% in our reader sales compared to the prior quarter. In our PetroSmart division, we saw during the second quarter of 2017 a revenue growth of more than 100% compared to the first quarter, resulting from long-term efforts to grow existing and new opportunities. In total the second quarter of 2017 presented an increase in revenues of more than 70% compared to the prior quarter and more than 40% compared to the second quarter of 2016 together with positive adjusted EBITDA."

"We followed our plans, executed our strategy, and delivered the expected results. For the long term, I strongly believe that we will continue to see growth within our different verticals and present a positive adjusted EBITDA in 2017."
