Third Quarter Results
Third quarter revenue reached $14.77 million, a 2% decrease from the $15.02 million achieved in the comparable quarter of 2004. License sales for the quarter reached $3.8 million, a 19% decrease from $4.7 million recorded in the same quarter in 2004.

Net loss for the third quarter was $1,619,000 (or ($0.05) per share) compared to a net profit of $746,000 (or $0.02 per share) in the third quarter of 2004.
Results of First Three Quarters
Total revenue reached $45.97 million, a decrease of 5% from $48.14 million achieved in the first three quarters of last year. License sales reached $13.1 million, a decrease of 17% from the $15.7 million achieved in the same period last year. Application revenue increased 31% over the same period last year, reaching $6.3 million. Maintenance and support revenue was $11.0 million, a 21% increase from the $9.1 million achieved in the comparable 2004 period. Revenue from consulting and other services totaled $15.6 million, a 16% decrease compared with the same period of last year.
Gross profit reached $26.5 million, a 10% decrease compared to the $29.5 million achieved in the comparable period of last year. Net loss totaled $2,617,000 (or ($0.08) per share), compared to a net income of $2,377,000 (or $0.08 per share) in the first 9 months of 2004.
In the third quarter of 2005, Europe accounted for 36% of total revenue, while North America, Japan and rest of the world accounted for 35%, 17% and 12%, respectively. In the first three quarters of 2005, Europe accounted for 38% of total revenue, while North America, Japan and the rest of the world accounted for 33%, 18% and 11% respectively.
“During the quarter, we have continued to prioritize building our channels and developing business opportunities that we believe will deliver strong results in the mid-term, such as penetrating and expanding into the Global SAP partner community, and partnering with complementary technology partners,” commented David Assia, Chairman and acting CEO of Magic Software. “This longer term vision requires us to reallocate sales resources, and this has had a negative short-term impact on our direct sales.”
“Recent accomplishments indicate that we are now approaching a turning point. We have had continued endorsements from major industry analysts regarding our technology and have also won some major new blue chip customers. In addition, we have increased the quality and the number of partners reselling iBOLT and integrating our technology into their solutions,” noted Assia.
Accomplishments
The following highlights were announced, or have occurred since Magic Software Enterprises' last earnings statement:
We have signed a number of significant iBOLT partnerships:
•
Huadi Computer Co., Ltd one of the leaders of the Information industry in China has signed a 5-year agreement under which Huadi will provide solutions using the iBOLT integration platform.
•
WM Data, one of Norway's leading system integrators, signed an agreement in which they will employ Magic's iBOLT business integration suite for its integration projects.
•
The Information Management Group (IMG), an international Business Architecture Consultancy using SAP oriented technology employing more than 500 mySAP consultants, 30 SAP Business One consultants and holders of four SAP Quality Awards, signed a global partnership agreement to use iBOLT in their integration projects.
•
Magic along with COC N-Tuition AG, have developed iBOLT Remedy, an integration platform for Remedy's Action Request System for automating Service Management business processes.
•
Magic has signed additional agreements for iBOLT in Germany with a top-tier system integrator and also with one of the leading financial institutions
iBOLT was recently been positioned as a leading integration-centric BPM Provider in Forrester’s recent “Trends 2006 report” alongside IBM, Microsoft, BEA Systems and Sun Microsystems. At the recent Gartner Middle East summit, Magic and iBOLT were singled out as the leading Israeli-based vendor in the EAI/BPM space.
In addition to these partnerships, a number of customers have demonstrated a continuing reaffirmation of Magic as a strategic technology. Some of the iBOLT deals and implementations reported in this quarter include:
•
Secom Techno Service, a Japanese leader in the security system construction management solutions field, has chosen Magic's iBOLT Integration Suite to enhance its Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).
•
Visa Cal one of the leading Israeli Visa Credit Card Operators, has completed its implementation of Magic's iBOLT Business Integration platform.
•
Menzies Distribution has implemented iBOLT to help with its Real Time Logistics.
•
Danish Ministry of Economic and Business Affairs is using iBOLT for its online portal.
Business Development Highlights:
The W4 partnership signed last quarter has already yielded new business in France, which was concluded in the third quarter. This short sales cycle is due to the enhancement of the human workflow dimension to our BPM and Composite Applications offering with iBOLT, and to the broader market reach that such partnerships provide.
Management Changes:
This quarter has seen significant enhancement in our iBOLT infrastructure. In particular, a new Corporate VP position in charge of iBOLT was created, with the appointment of Amit Ben-Zvi. Amit previously served as CEO of WizCom Technologies, a publicly traded company (listed on the Deutsche Bourse) specializing in text recognition pen products. Mr. Ben-Zvi was central in successfully implementing the company's revenue growth and strategic turnover plan. Amit holds a bachelor's degree in accounting and an LLB law degree, from Tel-Aviv University.
Hilel Kremer, Vice President of Finance and CFO, will be leaving Magic as of December 1st 2005, to pursue other career opportunities. A search for a new CFO has begun and the Company expects to make an announcement in due course.
Ziv Zviel (CPA , MBA), the Company’s corporate controller for the past four years, will be promoted to Vice President of Finance, and will assume all the Finance responsibilities. Ziv’s deep involvement in all of the Company’s financial functions will enable a very smooth transition.
