Nine-Month Revenues at a Record US$72 million; Year-over-Year Growth of 46% YAHUD, Israel, November 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal Security Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ:MAGS)(TASE:MAGS) today announced its consolidated financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008. Revenues for the third quarter of 2008, was $20.8 million, compared with US$21.0 million in the third quarter of 2007. In the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, revenues reached US$72.1 million, an increase of 46.4% compared with US$49.2 million in the comparable period of 2007. Effective from September 1, 2007, Magal's financial statements include the results of a European integration company acquired in August 2007. Following the sale in December 2007 of Magal's U.S. based video monitoring business, the results of that business were reclassified as discontinued operations. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2008 reached US$7.8 million compared with US$7.7 million in the third quarter of 2007. Gross margin for the quarter stood at 37.6% compared with 36.8% in the third quarter of 2007. Gross profit for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, reached US$27.0 million compared with US$20.5 million in the comparable period in 2007. Gross margin in the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was 37.5% compared with 41.7% in the comparable period in 2007. The gross margin in the nine month period of 2008 was adversely affected, by the ongoing weakness of the US Dollar against the Israeli Shekel and Canadian Dollar, as well as the shift in revenue mix towards larger scale integration projects. On a GAAP basis, operating loss for the third quarter of 2008 was US$0.6 million compared with an operating income of US$0.2 million in the third quarter of 2007. Operating income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was $1.5 million, compared to $1.9 million in the comparable period in 2007. Operating income on a non-GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2008 was US$0.1 million compared with US$1.2 million in the third quarter of 2007. Operating income on a non-GAAP basis for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was $4.8 million, an increase of 64.7% compared with $2.9 million in the comparable period in 2007. Due to the devaluation of the US Dollar against the Israeli shekel and Canadian Dollar, operating expenses increased in the third quarter by US$0.5 million, compared with that of the third quarter of last year. The operating income on a GAAP basis for the quarter also included a US$0.5 million amortization of intangible assets charge, related to last year's acquisition of a European subsidiary. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the third quarter of 2008 was US$1.4 million, or US$0.13 per share, compared with a net loss of US$1.6 million, or US$0.16 per share in the third quarter of 2007. Net loss on a GAAP basis for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was $1.5 million, or $0.15 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.10 per share, in the comparable period in 2007. On a non-GAAP basis, net loss for the third quarter of 2008 was US$0.8 million, or US$0.08 per share compared with a net loss US$0.3 million, or US$0.02 per share in the third quarter of 2007. Net income on a non-GAAP basis for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was $1.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $0.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the comparable period in 2007. "In the first nine months of 2008 we matched the revenues achieved in the whole of 2007, and we are on track for a record year in revenues," commented Izhar Dekel, CEO of Magal. "Despite our strong performance in the first six months of 2008, our third quarter revenues were below our expectations and negatively affected our profitability. This was primarily due to some bureaucratic delays with a recently announced US$20 million Latin-American Fortis project, which was expected to generate revenues in the third quarter. We believe the delay will be temporary and hope to start deliveries for this project before the end of the year." Continued Mr. Dekel, "On a personal note, today I announced my intention to leave Magal in the coming months. During my years at the helm of the Company, Magal has become a pioneer in the security field. Our revenues have diversified internationally, and we have introduced many new, market leading security products such as the Fortis, which is currently generating revenues and very strong interest throughout the world. I leave Magal in a strong position to continue its growth, building on its leadership and reputation in the global security market."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this release of operating results also contains non-GAAP financial measures, which the Company believes are the principal indicators of the operating and financial performance of its business. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effects of stock-based compensation charges recorded in accordance with SFAS 123R as well as amortization of customer related intangible assets and a loss associated with a discontinued operation. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures provided are useful to investors' understanding and assessment of the Company's on-going core operations and prospects for the future, as the charges eliminated are not part of the day-to-day business or reflective of the core operational activities of the Company. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as a basis for strategic decisions, forecasting future results and evaluating the Company's current performance. However, such measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the schedules attached to this release. About Magal Security Systems, Ltd. Magal Security Systems Ltd.
