Magic Software Announces First Quarter Results with Software License Sales Increasing 30% Compared to Fourth Quarter of 2005 and 70% Increase in iBOLT License Sales.

Magic meets iBOLT revenue and partner recruitment targets

OR YEHUDA, ISRAEL (May 18, 2006) -- Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (Nasdaq: MGIC), a leading provider of state-of-the-art business integration and development technology, reported today its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

First quarter of 2006 results indicate a reversal in the trend in software sales with an incremental increase compared to the previous quarter. Total revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $15.27 million, an increase of 2% from the $15.02 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2005 and a 1% decrease compared to the $15.50 million reported in the first quarter of 2005.

Software sales for the first quarter of 2006, at $4.85 million, increased by 30% from $3.73 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 and remained at the same level as in the first quarter of 2005. Application sales in the first quarter of 2006, at $1.41 million, decreased 30% from $2.00 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 and 36% from $2.21 million in the first quarter of 2005.

Revenue from maintenance and support, at $3.49 million, increased 4% from $3.37 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, and decreased 2% from $3.55 million in the first quarter of 2005. Consulting and other services revenues, at $5.53 million, decreased 7% from $5.92 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, and increased by 13% compared to the first quarter of 2005.

Gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2006 was 56%, compared to 52% in the fourth quarter of 2005 and 60% in the first quarter in 2005.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2006 amounted to $169,000 (or $(0.01) per share) compared with a net loss of $1,991,000 (or $(0.06) per share) in the fourth quarter of 2005 and net income of $163,000 (or $0.01 per share) in the first quarter of 2005.

In the first quarter of 2006, Europe accounted for 35% of our total revenue, while North America and Japan accounted for 33% and 20% of total revenue, respectively. The rest of the world accounted for 12% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2006.

“We are pleased with the results of our first quarter, and believe that we are back on an upward trend. Although we still have many challenges in front of us, we are hopeful that this trend will continue throughout 2006,” said David Assia, Chairman and acting CEO of Magic Software Enterprises. "Our efforts to introduce iBOLT to the marketplace over the last two years and develop this channel have begun to bear fruit and we believe that this is only the beginning of iBOLT acceptance in the market. In addition, we are meeting our SAP Business One partner recruitment and sales targets and achieving our planned revenues from this channel.”

“Our first quarter results show the importance we see to strict controls over our expenses and cash flows” Assia continued. “ Our expenses during the quarter have substantially decreased compared to the previous quarter, our DSO remained low and our cash flows for the quarter were positive in spite large investments made during the quarter.”

Accomplishments :

The following highlights were announced, or occurred since Magic Software Enterprises' last earnings statement:

Magic began the controlled release of eDeveloper V10 on March 30. General availability is planned for June 30, 2006.

Magic continued the successful execution of its SAP Partners Program and added 35 new partners to the iBOLT SE Partner Program.

Following the successful results of Advanced Answers on Demand, Magic acquired an additional 16% of the company, from its external shareholder, thus attaining full control of the company.

In accordance with its strategy to focus on its core business, Magic sold the rights to eContact, its Call Center Management application.

A leading European supply chain services specialist based in the United Kingdom added the iBOLT Integration Platform to its integration tool set.

Magic Israel concluded an extension of its three year contract with the Israeli Government. This extension includes the ability to now sell iBOLT in addition to eDeveloper.

Medway Ports purchased iBOLT to support the integration of disparate systems within its organization.

Menzies Aviation chose iBOLT to help it deliver business critical data to managers by integrating disparate systems across the organization. This move further demonstrates the growing adoption of iBOLT by Magic’s traditional customer base.

A major car rental company in the United States also acquired the iBOLT integration tool for enabling data consolidation, information sharing and better decision making.

A major North American insurance company decided to restructure its operations system using the Magic's eDeveloper tool. This will enable the customer to improve performance, the developers’ productivity, the decision making and the security of data access.

Penetration of the Scandinavian market continues with several iBOLT sales through Nordic partner VM-Line.

An iBOLT partnership was entered into with Malta-based Makeezi to allow it to promote iBOLT in Malta, North Africa and Southern Italy.

Another iBOLT partnership was entered into with a leading developer of integrated software for municipalities, local governments, and utility companies throughout Canada and the United States.

Throughout this quarter Magic attended a number of focused events worldwide that led to increased exposure.

In February Magic’s European offices participated in a series of SAP road shows.

Magic was present and launched eDeveloper V10 at Cebit in March.

Magic participated in the IBM ITSO Forums and BP Expo in Sorrento, Italy and Rochester, MN in February.

Magic products were included in the IBM System i5 Tools Innovation Network CD.
