PETACH-TIKVA, Israel, May 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Eltek Ltd. ELTK, the leading Israeli manufacturer of advanced circuitry solutions, including complex build ups of rigid and flex-rigid printed circuit boards, announced today its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 were $12.3 million compared to revenues of $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2014 was $1.5 million (12.3% of revenues) compared with gross profit of $1.8 million (14.4% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2013.

Operating loss for the first quarter of 2014 was $121,000 compared with operating profit of $230,000 in the first quarter of 2013. The decline in our gross and operating profit was mainly due to the devaluation of the US dollar against the NIS, and a slight reduction in revenues.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2014 was $187,000 or ($0.02) per share, compared to net profit of $127,000 or $0.02 per share, in the first quarter of 2013.

EBITDA:
In the first quarter of 2014, Eltek had EBITDA of $354,000 compared with EBITDA of $613,000 in the first quarter of 2013.

ELTEK uses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation between the company's results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statement of Operations

Management Comments:

Arieh Reichart, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eltek commented: "Our capital investment plan is being implemented as scheduled and we expect to see improvements in our manufacturing capabilities beginning in the fourth quarter of this year. The results of our operations in the first quarter of 2014 were negatively impacted by the weakness of the U.S. dollar, as the exchange rate of the dollar compared to the NIS in the first quarter of 2014 was 5.7% lower than in the first quarter of 2013. In addition we saw a decline in revenues due to the shift of certain programs to the U.S. by some domestic defense customers. We are working on building alternative sources of revenues to offset such reduction in orders."
