- The decrease in sales and operating profit is due primarily to the finalization of several GRC projects
- This decrease was partially compensated for by new customer engagements that are expected to be fully reflected in the scope of operations and earnings amounts for 2025.

The decrease in sales and earnings during the quarter and during the period are primarily due to the finalization of large GRC projects, compensated for in part by new projects we secured during the second half of the year.
However, we are positive about the GRC market in the coming years:
Regardless of political shifts, anti-money laundering compliance is here to stay as a critical function, and the market for AML technology will keep growing. Financial institutions are expected to further embrace cutting-edge solutions (AI-driven platforms, cloud compliance utilities, integrated risk intelligence) to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated financial crimes

However, we are positive about the GRC market in the coming years:
- The new projects we have secured provide us with good clarity for the coming year
- Expanding the "advisory" field (organic and reinforced by Alacer) reduces dependence on new sales by software product vendors of AML (Nice, SAS, Oracle, and others)
- With the advent of AI, the use of self-developing banking AI solutions is increasing, with Matrix's help

Impressive organic growth in sales and profits
The Company continues its growth and improved profitability trend mainly thanks to organic growth in Israel. We expect to see continued strengthening of the financial, security, hightech, transportation, and health sectors and stability in operations with government organizations and the industrial and retail sectors.
Maintaining growth rates during and after the war
Matrix has been the market leader for 19 years. The visibility provided to us by mega projects, technological leadership in all significant categories (A1D2C3 ), and the Company's excellent reputation enable us to maintain our growth rates in a market recovering from war.
Back to growth in the US
2024 was characterized by the volatility of the the US financial sector and market in general. Tailoring our solutions alongside securing new projects in the second half of 2024 will enable a return to growth in 2025.
Acquisitions
The first-time consolidation of Ortech (as of December 2024) and Alacer (as of Q4/2024). Consolidation of Gav Systems as of Q1 2025.
