Management Commentary
"I continue to remain very pleased with our overall progress in 2018, from both the financial and the strategic perspective," commented Shlomi Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of OTI. "Despite the short-term volatility in the fourth quarter, our revenues continued to grow on a yearly basis, and we're especially pleased that almost a quarter of our revenues are now recurring. Combined with an improvement in the gross margin profile and a relatively stable expense footprint, we were able to bring solid improvements in our overall results in 2018. Furthermore, we significantly improved our balance sheet, lowering our debt levels to almost zero."
Continued Mr. Cohen, "From a strategic perspective, 2018 marked an important year. Alongside success in our existing markets, we continued to expand into new international markets, achieving key certifications in Canada and Russia. Both of these payment markets present very significant potential for us."
"The positive trends we have seen in 2018 and the solid improvements that we have made at OTI in recent quarters, put us in a good position to enjoy the fruits of our investments in 2019. Looking ahead, I expect our growth to accelerate, achieving solid revenue growth in 2019 with corresponding improvements in profitability," concluded Mr. Cohen.
Following OTI's sale of its MediSmart division, the financial results of Medismart are included as discontinued operations and all the prior periods' information has been reclassified to conform with the current period's presentation.

Safe Harbor / Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains express or implied forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other Federal securities laws. Whenever we use words such as "will," "look forward," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "believe," "should," "can" or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. For example, we are using forward-looking statements when we discuss, among others: the potential from our expansion into new international markets, the importance of the MIR certification in Russia and the Interac certification in Canada for the successful operation in these countries and the potential in these countries, improvement in profitability, positive trends and 2019 revenue growth. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements are stated under the captions "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report (Form 10-K) and other known and unknown uncertainties and risk factors including those detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this release, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update forward-looking statements. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
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 patent litigation expenses, stock-based compensation expense and other expenses. Patent litigation expenses are presented only at the end of each year, as we do not consider their impact on quarterly results to be material. OTI believes that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations should be considered in evaluating the Company's operations since it provides a clear indication of the Company's operating results. This measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for the U.S. GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the U.S. GAAP results in the tables below.
