Dalet's Board of Directors has met on August 29th and approved the consolidated financial statements for the first semester of 2014. These financial statements have been reviewed by the Auditors.
DALET has announced consolidated revenues for the six months period ended June 30, 2014 of 18.4 million, compared to 15.3 million revenues for the same period last year (+20%). Excluding 1.0 million second quarter revenues from its subsidiary AmberFin acquired in early April, Dalet revenues for the semester were up 13%.
Gross Margin (defined as revenues minus cost of goods and third-party services resold) for the semester was 15.0 million, up 12% from 13.3 million for the same period in 2013. An unfavorable mix of sales during the period impacted the gross margin rate which is 81% compared to 87% in the first semester of 2013. The lower margin, combined with an 18% increase in operating expenses, resulted in an operating loss for the semester of 2.9 million, compared to an operating loss of 1.8 million for the first semester of 2013.
AmberFins impact on the consolidated operating result was rather limited, thanks to ongoing restructuring efforts. The operating loss related to AmberFin in the second quarter of 2014 (i.e. post-acquisition) amounted to 0.2 million, compared to a loss of 0.7 million for the first quarter (pre acquisition), for similar revenue amounts in each of these two consecutive quarters.
Net loss (attributable to Group) for the semester was 3.2 million vs. 2.0 million for the same period in 2013.
Cash (excluding restricted cash) on June 30, 2014 stood at 6.2 million, compared to 7.4 million on December 31, 2013. Debt on June 30, 2014 stood at 5.6 million, up from 2 million on December 31, 2013, following the 3.4 million loan taken to finance AmberFin's acquisition.
Dalets order backlog expected to be invoiced in H2 2014 stands at 21 million.
The consolidated financial statements for the first semester of 2014 and explanation notes are available on the company's website (http://www.dalet.com), Investors section.
