Monica Iancu, MIND CTI CEO, commented: “The environment remains challenging as described in the last few years’ previous press releases. Communications service providers continue to face major challenges. Moreover, some of them are experiencing additional negative impact on revenues from reduction in tourism, associated with COVID-19. They are expected to develop new services and offer multi-play discounted bundles and at the same time they attempt to reduce their costs. While there is demand for our products and services, most processes are constantly delayed, and competition is fierce. As previously stated, during our over twenty years of operation, we have experienced challenging market conditions and we executed successfully in shifting our focus towards new opportunities.”

Impact of COVID-19
We experience the effect of the pandemic in all areas of our business, mainly due to the delays in the pace of ongoing implementation rollouts in all our lines of business, due to lockdowns and other COVID-19 related measures. Also, due to the general economic uncertainty, the majority of our customers, both enterprises and carriers, are restricting their budgets.

MIND BSS will facilitate the compelling needs to prevent revenue loss, to ensure that all the services are billed, to handle disputes and to provide a structured dunning process.

Message Mobile GmbH 2019 Results
As previously announced, after reviewing the revenue recognition methodology for messaging and mobile payment transactions, based on the key principal-versus-agent considerations under ASC 606, Revenues from Contract with Customers, we concluded to recognize revenues from Message Mobile’s mobile payments line of business on a “net basis” instead of a “gross basis”. Consequently, only our share in the processed transactions is recognized as revenues.

As a result of the above, our consolidated revenues for Q2 2019 were $5.7 million instead of $6.0 million (Message Mobile being $1.6 million instead of $1.9 million) and the consolidated cost of revenues were $2.9 million instead of $3.2 million (Message Mobile being $1.3 million instead of $1.6 million).

Our consolidated revenues for Q3 2019 were $5.8 million instead of $6.1 million (Message Mobile being $1.7 million instead of $2.0 million) and the consolidated cost of revenues were $2.7 million instead of $3.0 million (Message Mobile being $1.3 million instead of $1.6 million).

All the other metrics, including gross profit, operating income and cash, are unchanged from the preliminary amounts announced in 2019.
