Eltek Announces Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

PETACH-TIKVA, Israel, August 29, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) – Eltek Ltd., the leading Israeli manufacturer of advanced flex-rigid circuitry solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2007.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Major Left Bold-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Second – Quarter 2007:

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Eltek reported revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 of $ 8.6 million compared with $ 9.6 million for the second quarter of 2006. The decrease in revenues is attributable to reduced sales to the Company’s largest customer, who notified the Company towards the end of the quarter that it was terminating production for its principal product as such product reached the end of its lifecycle. Revenues from this customer declined to $ 840,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $ 2.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006. Excluding sales to this single large customer, second quarter revenues increased by $ 620,000. The Company expects that its revenues will continue to be impacted by the loss of sales to this customer in the third quarter, but expects an improvement in its operations in the fourth quarter of 2007 and has already intensified marketing efforts to increase sales in the European and the U.S. markets.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

The Company incurred a loss for the second quarter of $ 171,000, or ($ 0.03) per fully diluted share compared with net income of $ 465,000, or $ 0.07 per fully diluted share for the same quarter in 2006. The loss is mainly attributable to the aforementioned reduction in sales.

First Six-Months 2007:

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, were $ 18.8 million compared with revenues of $ 18.9 million for the comparable period in 2006.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 was $ 395,000, or $ 0.06 per fully diluted share, compared with a net income of $ 1.1 million or $ 0.19 per fully diluted share for the same period in 2006. The decrease in net income is mainly attributable to the weakness of the U.S. dollar compared to the NIS, as the majority of our revenues is U.S. dollar denominated, while a significant portion of our expenses is denominated in NIS.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Head Major Left Bold-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

EBITDA:

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

In the second quarter of 2007, Eltek had EBITDA of $ 575,000 compared to EBITDA of $ 1.1 million in the second quarter of 2006. In the first six months of 2007, Eltek had EBITDA of $ 1.8 million compared with EBITDA of $ 2.5 million in the same period in 2006.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

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.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Effective January 1, 2007, The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the Company’s reporting currency has been changed from NIS to U.S. dollars. The financial statements for all years (or periods) presented are translated into the reporting currency using the current rate method. Under this method, the income statement and the cash flow statement items for each year (or period) are translated into the reporting currency using the rates in effect at the date of the transactions, and assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at the end of that year (or period), except for equity accounts which are translated using historical exchange rates. All resulting exchange differences, which do not affect the Company’s earnings, are reported in the accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. In the case of a change in reporting currency, this method of translation results in the financial statements of prior years (or periods) presented for comparison being translated as if the reporting currency used in the current year (or period) had been used for at least all periods shown. The Company believes that presenting the financial statements in U.S. dollars and under US-GAAP delivers more meaningful and relevant financial information to its shareholders.

Management Comments:

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

“As previously outlined, a number of factors resulted in our lower revenues and earnings in the second quarter of 2007,” said Arieh Reichart, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eltek. “The earlier than anticipated termination of PCB production for our largest customer’s principal product as it reached the end of its lifecycle, reduced second quarter 2007 revenues by more than $ 1.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2006. The weakness of the U.S. dollar compared to the NIS also negatively affected second quarter results. Also worth mentioning is the 11% lower number of working days in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2007 due to holidays.”

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

“However, excluding sales to this single large customer, second quarter revenues continued their healthy year – over – year organic growth pattern, reflecting the breadth of our customer base and increased penetration into new territories and tier-one customers. We expect this trend of revenues growth, excluding the impact of sales to the large customer, to continue in the third quarter of 2007 as well.”

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Mr. Reichart continued, “While the end-of-life notice will have an adverse impact on our third quarter overall financial performance, as we announced a month ago, we expect an improvement in net income in the fourth quarter of 2007.”

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Mr. Reichart concluded, “We see tremendous long-term growth opportunities for Eltek in the global high-end PCBs market. I am very optimistic that we will be able to announce multiple long – term serial – production wins with very large customers in the coming months.”

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Amnon Shemer, CFO of Eltek added “Excluding the inevitable impact of the decline in sales to this single large customer, we managed in the first six months of 2007 to increase our revenues from other customers by $ 2.3 million. In Q2 we also managed to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations, with EBITDA of $ 575,000 in the second quarter, and $ 1.8 million in the first six months of 2007, reflecting the strength of our business model and financial position.”

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Mr. Shemer continued: “The significant devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the NIS continued to have a negative impact on our operating margins, as the average exchange rate between the NIS and the U.S. dollar in the second quarter of 2007 was 9.2% lower than that of the second quarter of 2006.”

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

“In the first six months of 2007 we invested $ 1.7 million in machinery and infrastructure for further capacity ramp-up. We continue with the capacity expansion as planned and expect to have an increasingly positive impact on our production processes and efficiencies towards the end of 2007 and onwards “. Mr. Shemer concluded.
