$RADA: RADA Electronic Industries Announces Q1 2017 Results: YoY Revenue Growth of 91%; Return to Profitability
Investor conference call to be held today at 10am ET
NETANYA, Israel, May 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. (NASDAQ:RADA) announced today its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
Management Comments
Dov Sella, RADA's Chief Executive Officer commented, “We are very pleased with our significant revenue growth, which is almost double that of the first quarter of last year. These results, combined with our improved balance sheet, are evidence that the turnaround of the company, focused towards sales of our radar technology is beginning to mature. Looking ahead and given the timing of certain orders, we expect the second quarter to be strong. On the back of our expectations of a particularly strong first half of 2017, we are increasing our full year revenue guidance towards $20 million for 2017, representing a year over year growth of over 50%. Furthermore, we expect to return to profitability in 2017 on a full-year basis.”
Continued Mr. Sella, “Strategically, we have also made significant progress, particularly with our growth engine, our software-defined tactical radars. At the end of the quarter, we signed a strategic distribution agreement with a leading Western-European defense systems provider to integrate our radars into their Very Short Range Air Defense (VSHORAD) systems. Furthermore, our cooperation with DRS Technologies continues. Our pipeline is strong and we see opportunities with great potential for our technology, especially in the U.S. market, which we intend to capitalize on.”
Added Yossi Ben Shalom, RADA’s chairman, “I congratulate Dov and RADA’s management team for returning the business to growth, as well as the continued progress in gaining market acceptance. I continue to see RADA as a company with a lot of long-term unleashed growth potential in an increasingly important market, and we look forward to the years ahead.”
