EBITDA:

In the fourth quarter of 2014, Eltek had EBITDA of $250,000 compared with EBITDA of $321,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Management Comments:

Mr. Yitzhak Nissan, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Eltek's revenues in 2014 suffered mostly due to a decline in sales to the defense sector and reduced global demand for printed circuit boards of the type we manufacture. We have also faced increased price-competition in our marketplace.

"We have adopted efficiency measures, which significantly reduced our operating costs. The savings were partially reflected in 2014 and are expected to positively impact our results in 2015. In addition, new equipment that we recently purchased is expected to allow us to enhance our solution offerings," Mr. Nissan concluded.

Use of EBITDA

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.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company reports financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP and herein provides some non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are intended to supplement the Company's presentation of its financial results that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses the non-GAAP measures presented to evaluate and manage the Company's operations internally. The Company is also providing this information to assist investors in performing additional financial analysis.

Forward Looking Statement:

Certain matters discussed in this news release are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to statements regarding expected results in future quarters, risks in product and technology development and rapid technological change, product demand, the impact of competitive products and pricing, market acceptance, the sales cycle, changing economic conditions and other risk factors detailed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F and other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
