Matrix IT Ltd., together with its subsidiaries, is a company operating in the fields of information technology (IT) solutions and services, consulting, and management in Israel and overseas.
The Matrix Group employs approximately 12,000 software, hardware, engineering, integration, and training personnel, who provide services in advanced fields of information and management technology to hundreds of customers in the Israeli market as well as customers in the US market. The Group also engages in the sale and marketing of software and hardware products from a wide range of manufacturers from Israel and overseas, as well as the provision of consulting, project management and multidisciplinary engineering consulting services.
The Company has four1 areas of activity – (1) Information Technology Solutions and Services, Consulting, and Management in Israel; (2) Information Technology Solutions and Services in the United States; (3) Sales, Marketing and Support of Software Products; and (4) Cloud and Computing Infrastructures.
The Company provide solutions, services, and products to thousands of customers in the following main segments ("segments"): banking and finance, high-tech and startups, government and the public sector, defense, transportation, health, industry, retail and trade, education and academia. Unique divisions operate in each one of these segments, specializing in providing specific solutions to the particular sector in which they operate, as well as managing and carrying out projects for the Company's lateral entities.
The specialization in the various segments is reflected in the applicative, professional, and marketing facets of that segment. Accordingly, a professional and marketing infrastructure is developed in each sector which is required to support such segment.
The business environment in which the Company operates is directly affected by global and local trends and events, the most important of which will be presented below. For additional details regarding the Company's business environment, see Section 1.1.2 of the Board of Directors' Report as of 31.12.2024, and Section 6 of the chapter on the Description of the Corporation's Affairs, in the 2024 Periodic Report.
1 As of the 2024 financial statements, the Company presents the training and implementation activity, which was previously presented as a separate operating segment, as part of the IT, Consulting, and Management Solutions in Israel segment. For further details, see Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of the date of this report, in general, the global economy has continued to stabilize after facing the effects of the significant increase in inflation rates in recent years, which was followed by rising interest rates during the course of the post-COVID-19 period.
The decrease in inflation in the US market continues and is currently at 2.4% (March 2025, in annual terms, based on the last 12 months - LTM). At the same time, the US Federal Reserve has maintained the interest rate at 4.5%.
The downward trend in inflation is also evident in the Eurozone and stands at 2.2% (March 2025 – LTM). This stabilization of inflation was accompanied by sharp interest rate reductions which, as of the reporting date, stands at 2.25%, following several consecutive interest rate reductions by the European Central Bank.
In April 2025, the President of the United States announced a new tariffs plan that includes two main components - a uniform 10% tariff on all imports to the United States and additional tariffs on imports from countries with a significant trade surplus with the United States, at different rates. The tariff imposed on imports to the United States from Israel stands at 17%. In the Company's assessment, the above tariffs are not expected to have a direct adverse impact on the Company's activities.
Similarly, despite the downward trend in inflation, there are still concerns of further inflationary outbursts and price increases. This is due, inter alia, to the imposition of tariffs by the US government and the possibility of the development and/or worsening of geopolitical conflicts.
The main global economic trends described above occurred, to a large extent, in the Israeli economy as well. At the same time, the Israeli economy was impacted in the past year primarily by unique and complex local events that had a substantial impact, primarily the Iron Swords War.
As of the report date, the Iron Swords War is ongoing. The war broke out on October 7, 2023, following a murderous attack by the terrorist organization Hamas on communities surrounding Gaza and other communities in the south of the country. The war against terror organizations (that are supported by Iran) continues in the Gaza Strip, in Lebanon, in Syria, and in Yemen. In October 2024, the fighting on the northern border of the State of Israel against the Hezbollah terrorist organization intensified, ending, as of this date, with the signing of a ceasefire agreement at the end of 2024.
Additionally, there is direct conflict with Iran, which has carried out two direct attacks by launching ballistic and cruise missiles as well as UAVs against the State of Israel. In October 2024, in response to the Iranian attacks against it, the State of Israel attacked military and other targets on Iranian soil. In light of the ceasefire on its northern border, the likelihood of an Iranian response to this attack has decreased, but it should be noted that a renewed escalation with Iran may have a significant impact on the State of Israel, the Middle East and other countries that are involved.
The war has thus far cost the lives of more than 1,800 Israelis and has led to thousands more being injured. In addition, 251 civilians and soldiers have been kidnapped by the terrorist organizations and 59 of them are still being held hostage.
As of the date of the reporting date, the continuation of the war, on each of its fronts, remains unclear.
The security situation, and the uncertainty surrounding it naturally impact economic activity, has led to a decrease in the growth forecast, an expected increase in the government deficit, and the country's debt-to-GDP ratio. Also, international ratings agencies reduced the State of Israel's credit rating significantly because of the increased geopolitical risks as a result of the worsening of hostilities and the concern over longterm harm to the Israeli economy. Credit ratings are currently: Moody's - Baa1 (negative outlook); S&P - A- (negative outlook). The increased perception of the risk faced by the State of Israel is also expressed in the yield on State of Israel government bonds. Nevertheless, as of the second half of 2024 and following Israel's military successes, a positive change in the economy was evident. Thus, despite the many difficulties and challenges facing the business environment, the Israeli economy has demonstrated robustness and resilience. As noted, economic activity in Israel has begun to recover from the second half of 2024.
We note that even before the outbreak of the war, the Israeli economy faced high inflation and rising interest rates, inter alia, on the background of the legal reform and the wave of social protests that arose in its wake. These trends slowed in late 2023 and the first half of 2024. Accordingly, in January 2024, the Bank of Israel lowered the interest rate to 4.5% and this rate remains unchanged as at the reporting date. The CPI has increased (March index - LTM) at a rate of approximately 3.3%.
The Company estimates that the inflationary impact on the results of its operations is immaterial, inter alia, because the Company's financial debt is not linked to the CPI. On the other hand, rising interest rates may negatively affect the results of the Company's operations by increasing financing costs for variable-interest loans (commercial securities (NAAM) and short-term bank loans), as well as for new fixed-interest loans that will replace loans that come due. In this context, it should also be noted that the main component of the Company's expenses is wages (about 55% of the Company's operating expenses), which, in the Company's assessment, are impacted mainly by trends in supply and demand of technological staffing, and inflation is expected to have a limited effect on them.
In terms of real economic activity - GDP grew by 0.6% in 2024, and according to the Bank of Israel forecast,2 it is expected to grow by 4% in 2025.
Heavy war-related spending has led to an increase in Israel's trade deficit, which was 5.2% of GDP in March 2025.
Similarly, the unemployment rate in the economy remains low - 2.6% in March 2025, and reflects a tight labor market.

As a provider of IT solutions, products, and services, the Company competes with other companies in the high-tech industry for quality personnel. In addition, a significant part of the Company's sales (approximately 16% in 2024) are to companies in the high-tech sector. The past two years have been challenging for the Israeli high-tech sector. This is reflected, inter alia, in a decline in the number of startups and a decrease in demand for technological staffing (with an emphasis on inexperienced employees – juniors).
According to a report by the Israel Innovation Authority from April 2025, in 2024, there has been a decrease (for the first time in a decade) in the number of employees in the high-tech industry in Israel.3
In the Company's assessment, the staffing reduction trend in high-tech companies may make it easier for the Company to recruit and retain employees, and to mitigate the pressure for wage increases on the part of the employees. On the other hand, the uncertainty in the high-tech industry could lead to a decrease in demand and even harm some of the Company's customers in this operating sector and consequently, harm the Company's operating results.
As at the date of the financial statements and as at the reporting date, approximately 120 and approximately 215 of the Company's employees (respectively) are on active reserve duty.
Notwithstanding the above, as explained below, the Company's operations in the first quarter of 2025 were characterized by an increase in the volume of the Company's activity and its operating results. In the Company's assessment, there war has no material impact on operating results.
The information mentioned above in this section concerning the Company's assessments as to the impact on the war on its operations, a war that is at its peak and whose full effects and implications have not yet been ascertained, the Company's economic environment, and developments in the high-tech industry, constitutes forward-looking information, as defined in the Securities Law, 1968 (the "Securities Law"), which is based on management's assessments and business experience, as well as assumptions, various scenarios, analyses, and public information, along with the assessments of research companies and analysts as of the report date. The information may not materialize, in whole or in part, or materialize differently, including in a manner that is materially different than expected, inter alia, as a result of high uncertainty, economic instability, and developments that cannot be assessed at this time in connection with the war, its duration, intensity, and impact, including in relation to the functioning of the economy and the home front, as a result of market competition, economic slowdown or instability in the economy, and as a result of the realization of all or part of the risk factors appearing in Section 19 of the Company's Periodic Report.

On March 10, 2025, a memorandum of understanding was executed between Matrix and Magic Software Industries Ltd. ("Magic") to negotiate a binding merger agreement, in which the Company will acquire all of Magic's issued and outstanding share capital by means of a reverse triangular merger. As part of the transaction, Magic's shareholders will receive consideration in the form of shares in the Company. When the transaction is completed, Magic will become a privately held company, wholly owned by Matrix.
As Formula is the controlling shareholder in both the Company and Magic, and in light of the materiality of the transaction, the Company's Board of Directors appointed an independent committee that was empowered to examine the engagement in the transaction, to negotiate with Magic regarding the terms of the transaction, to approve the transaction, and to formulate recommendations to the Board with regard thereto. For additional details, see the immediate report dated 11.3.2025 (reference: 2025-01- 015939).
On February 4, 2025, the Company, through its subsidiary Matrix IT Systems Ltd., completed the acquisition of 70% of the share capital of Gav Systems Ltd. and Gav Expert Ltd. for a total of approximately NIS 45.5 million.
In addition, the sellers were paid a dividend for accrued earnings up until 31.12.23 in the amount of NIS 29 million. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company and the seller have a mutual option to sell and purchase the seller's remaining shares to the Company. Gav Systems provides outsourcing services, primarily in the form of computing and software personnel. Gav Systems' operating results are consolidated in the Company's financial statements (in the IT, Consulting, and Management Solutions in Israel segment) as of the beginning of the first quarter of 2025.
In the first quarter, the Company entered into a mutual put/call options renewal agreement with non-controlling interests in a subsidiary for the sale and acquisition of the balance of the subsidiary's shares. The transaction was recorded against equity.

4 Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization
In the first quarter of 2025, the number of work hours was similar to that of the corresponding period last year. For details regarding the seasonality of the Company's activities, see also, Section 9 of the Report on the Corporation's Affairs in the periodic report.
The Company's sales in the first quarter amounted to NIS 1,546.2 million, compared to NIS 1,453.7 million in the corresponding quarter last year, an increase of 6.4%. The rate of increase in sales during the quarter, neutralizing the effect of the increase in the volume of sales recorded on a net basis, came to approximately 11.3%. (See Section 5 below for details).
The increase in sales during the quarter compared to the corresponding period last year derived primarily from an increase in the scope of operations in the IT Solutions and Services, Consulting, and Management in Israel segment, and in the Cloud and Computing Infrastructures segment, offset in part by a decrease in sales in Information Technology Solutions and Services in the United States segment and in the Sales, Marketing and Support of Software Products segment.
The increase in the volume of sales was positively affected by the first time consolidation of the operating results of companies acquired by the Company - Gav Systems (starting as of the first quarter 2025), Ortec (starting December 2024), and Alacer (starting as of the fourth quarter 2024). Net of the effect of the consolidation of these companies for the first time, the Company recorded organic growth in sales of 1.7%. (Organic growth neutralizing the effect of the increase in sales recorded on a net basis came to 6.6%.)
Gross profit in the quarter amounted to a record NIS 227 million (approximately 14.7% of sales), compared with NIS 207.1 million in the corresponding quarter last year (approximately 14.2% of sales), an increase of 9.6%.
The increase in gross profit and its share of total sales in the quarter derived mainly from an increase in the scope of the Company's operations as well as from operational efficiency processes carried out by the Company.
Selling, marketing, management, and general expenses in the quarter amounted to NIS 101 million (approximately 6.5% of sales), compared with NIS 96.4 million in the corresponding quarter last year (approximately 6.6% of sales). The increase in selling and marketing expenses derived from an increase in the volume of activities (including in respect of subsidiaries consolidated for the first time during the period), while their percentage out of total sales decreased.
It should be noted that selling expenses include an amount of NIS 6.8 million (compared with NIS 5.5 million during the corresponding period last year) for amortization of intangible assets deriving from business combinations.
Administrative and general expenses include an amount of NIS 3 million (compared with NIS 4.5 million in the corresponding quarter last year) in expenses for share based payments to officers and senior executives.
Operating profit in the first quarter amounted to a record NIS 126 million (approximately 8.1% of sales), compared with NIS 110.7 million in the corresponding quarter last year (approximately 7.6% of sales), an increase of 13.8%.
The increase in operating profit in the first quarter compared to the corresponding quarter last year is attributed mainly to growth in profit in all segments, except for the decrease in the IT Solutions in the US segment.
Further to the details provided in the sales chapter above, neutralizing the effect of the consolidation for the first time of Ortec and Alacer, the Company recorded organic growth in operating profit at a rate of approximately 9.5%.
With regard to the impact of the increased rate of transactions whose sales are presented on a net basis out of all of the Company's income on the rate of its operating profit, see Section 5, below.
During the first quarter, the trend from the previous quarters continued, with an increase in the rate of sales from operating transactions, which, according to IFRS, must be recognized on a net basis. This affects the Company's sales volume, sales growth rate, and profit margin. For convenience and to neutralize such external/accounting effects, an analysis of the Company's sales and operating profit excluding this impact is provided below, after neutralization of the impact of the presentation of sales on a gross/net basis:

| Exchange rate differences | 315 | 2,522 | (2,207) |
| Accounting finance expenses* | 12,620 | 6,424 | 6,196 |
| Total financing expenses (net) | 19,378 | 16,586 | 2,792 |
The following is a breakdown of financing expenses (net) (in NIS thousands):
* Primarily including financing expenses in respect of leases, adjustments for put options for non-controlling interests in subsidiaries, and changes in the fair value of financial assets presented at equity.
As described above, the increase in financing expenses in the first quarter compared to the corresponding quarter last year is due entirely to an increase in accounting financing expenses (deriving primarily from the effect of the increase in profits of subsidiaries from the revaluation of existing put options to minority shareholders in these subsidiaries, and a decrease in the value of the Company's holding in a financial asset presented at equity). The increase in accounting financing expenses, as indicated, was offset in part by a decrease in exchange difference expenses and a decrease in interest expenses on the Company's financial liabilities (net of financing income from investments and deposits) during the quarter compared to the corresponding quarter last year.
Tax expenses in the quarter amounted to NIS 26 million (approximately 24.4% of profits before tax) compared to NIS 22.7 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year(approximately 24.1% of profits before tax).
The increase in tax expenses is due to an increase in profit. The slight increase in the Company's effective tax rate in the first quarter compared with the corresponding quarter last year is mainly due to an increase in the amount of costs that are non-tax deductible (such as the revaluation of put options for minority shareholders in subsidiaries).
Net income in the first quarter amounted to a record NIS 80.6 million (approximately 5.2% of sales), compared with NIS 71.4 million in the corresponding quarter last year (approximately 4.9% of sales), an increase of 12.8%.
Net income attributable to shareholders in the first quarter amounted to a record NIS 75.6 million (approximately 4.9% of sales), compared with NIS 68.6 million in the corresponding quarter last year (approximately 4.7% of sales), an increase of 10.1%.

The EBITDA figure is included in the report due to its being an accepted index for measuring the results of activity in similar companies, which is an approximation of operating income flows and neutralizes the effect from the operating income expenses not involving cash flows, such as depreciation and amortization expenses, including due to intangible assets acquired in business combinations.

Sales
Sales of the IT Solutions and Services, Consulting, and Management in Israel segment during the quarter amounted to NIS 929.5 million, compared to NIS 839.7 million in the corresponding quarter last year, an increase of approximately 10.7%.
The operating profit in this segment in the first quarter amounted to NIS 70.1 million (approximately 7.5% of segmental sales), compared with NIS 63.3 million in the corresponding quarter last year (approximately 7.5% of segmental sales), an increase of 10.8%.
The increase in sales and in operating profit in the first quarter, compared to the corresponding quarter last year, derives from the growth in the scope of operations and profit in the segment's areas of activity, with an emphasis on data, cyber, and digital operations, core systems, the engineering arm, the security segment, and the financial sector, as well as the first-time consolidation of the results of Gav Systems (as of the Q1 2025).
Sales
Sales of the IT Solutions and Services in the US segment during the quarter amounted to NIS 108.8 million, compared to NIS 118.7 million in the corresponding quarter last year, a decrease of approximately 8.3% (in dollar terms - a decrease of approximately 7%).
The operating profit in this segment in the first quarter amounted to NIS 15.1 million (approximately 13.9% of segmental sales), compared with NIS 17 million in the corresponding quarter last year (approximately 14.3% of segmental sales), a decrease of 11% (in dollar terms - a decrease of approximately 9.1%).
The decrease in sales and operating profit in this segment compared to the corresponding quarter last year, derives from the completion of several GRC projects last year. The Company estimates that new engagements that have already commenced with new customers in this area of activity will be reflected in increased sales and profits as early as in the coming quarters.
The segmental results in the quarter were positively affected by the gradual influx of these new projects and an increase in the volume of new orders, as well as by the consolidation of Alacer's results (in a non-significant amount).
For the sake of ease of analysis and to offset the external effects of fluctuating exchange rates, the segmental results are also presented below in USD (in USD millions):

Sales of the "Sales, Marketing and Support of Software Products" segment during the quarter amounted to NIS 88.5 million, compared to NIS 97.4 million in the corresponding quarter last year, a decrease of approximately 9.1%.
The operating profit in this segment in the first quarter amounted to NIS 8.5 million (approximately 9.6% of segmental sales), compared with NIS 7.4 million in the corresponding quarter last year (approximately 7.6% of segmental sales), an increase of 15%.
The decrease in revenues alongside the increase in the segmental operating profit margin are due to a decrease in the volume of segmental activities alongside changes in the blend of transactions compared to the corresponding quarter last year.
Sales in the Cloud and Computing Infrastructures segment during the quarter amounted to NIS 460.5 million, compared to NIS 437.8 million in the corresponding quarter last year, an increase of approximately 5.2%.
The operating profit in this segment in the first quarter amounted to NIS 35.8 million (approximately 7.8% of segmental sales), compared with NIS 27.6 million in the corresponding quarter last year (approximately 6.3% of segmental sales), an increase of 29.6%.
The increase in sales and operating profit during the quarter, compared to the corresponding quarter last year is due to an increase in the volume of activity in the segment, with an emphasis on sales, marketing, and integration of computer systems, and marketing, installation, and support of advanced technology solutions (RDT and Ortec, while Ortec was consolidated for the first time in December 2024). The increase in the operating profit margin as a percentage of total sales is partly due to the continued rise in the proportion of cloud transactions of the EDP type, whose sales are presented on a net basis, as detailed above, and from the blend of transactions in the segment (higher profit transactions compared to corresponding periods).
For convenience and to neutralize external/accounting effects arising from the increase in the percentage of sales presented on a net basis from the segment's total sales, an analysis of the Company's sales and operating profit excluding this impact is provided below:

| Total liabilities | 3,460,723 | 3,335,309 | 125,414 |
The increase in the assets sections is due mainly to an increase in the net trade receivables and other receivables, mostly as a result of the first time consolidation of Gav Systems and an increase in goodwill (also as a result of the acquisition of Gav Systems). The said increase was partially offset by a decrease in the total cash and cash equivalents – mainly due to the acquisition of Gav and a decrease in inventory.
The increase in total liabilities is mainly due to an increase in the volume of credit from financial institutions and other credit providers, an increase in deferred revenues (primarily advance payments from customers in long-term transactions), and an increase in the liability from the acquisition of subsidiaries including for put options to non-controlling interests, offset in part by a decrease in trade payables.

Cash flows used in investing activities in the first quarter amounted to NIS 74.4 million, compared to a cash flow of NIS 8.6 million in the corresponding quarter. Most of the difference is attributable to NIS 65.4 million paid in the quarter in respect of the acquisition of Gav Systems.
Cash flows used in financing activities in the quarter amounted to NIS 13.5 million, compared to NIS 72 million in the corresponding quarter last year. Most of the difference derived from loans taken from banks in the amount of NIS 120 million, which was partially offset by the distribution of dividend in the quarter.

As of March 31, 2025, in the Company's standalone statements, there is a shortfall in working capital. In view of this, the Company's Board of Directors has reviewed the Company's financial indicators, its compliance with applicable financial standards, and the Company's existing and expected cash sources and needs. In the assessment of the Company's Board of Directors, the equity shortfall in the standalone statement does not indicate a liquidity problem. In light of the above, the Company is not required to publish a statement of cash flow forecast.

* In the first quarter, the Company entered into a mutual put/call options renewal agreement with non-controlling interests in a subsidiary for the sale and acquisition of the balance of the subsidiary's shares. The transaction was recorded against equity.
The balance of goodwill, as included in the Company's financial statements, is material to the Company's total assets. The goodwill represents the surplus cost of the investment over the total balance sheet value in subsidiaries that have been acquired by the Group.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company annually examines the need for impairment. In addition to the annual examination of the need for impairment, during the year, the Company also assesses whether there are indications of impairment.

Matrix IT Ltd.

To The Shareholders of Matrix IT Ltd. Ladies and gentlemen,
We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial information of Matrix IT Ltd. and its subsidiaries ("the Group"), that includes the condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related condensed interim consolidated statements of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods then ended. The Board of Directors and management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and they are also responsible for the preparation of this interim financial information in accordance with Chapter D of Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports) - 1970. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard (Israel) 2410 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Auditor of the Entity." A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the abovementioned financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.
In addition to the statements in the previous paragraph, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the abovementioned financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure requirements of Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports) - 1970.

The operating segments are based on information that is reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. Accordingly, for management purposes, the Group is organized into operating segments based on the character of the products and services and on the geographic location of the business units.
The Company operates directly and through its subsidiaries, and it has the following operating segments:
Information Technology Solutions and Services, Consulting, and Management in Israel;
Information Technology Solutions and Services in the United States;

As of the 2024 financial statements, the Company presents the training and implementation activity, which was presented in the past as a separate operating segment, and constituted approximately 3.4% and 2.9% of the Company's total sales and operating profit in 2023, as part of the IT, Consulting, and Management Solutions in Israel segment. This is due to changes in the economic environment and, accordingly, changes in the activity mix within the training and implementation segment, such that the economic characteristics, nature of services, and types of clients in the training and implementation segment are similar to those of the Information Technology Solutions and Services, Consulting, and Management segment in Israel.
The comparative figures were restated in order to reflect the change in the structure of the Company's operating segments.

Following the declaration of the dividend on March 10, 2025, the Company distributed on April 8, 2025, a dividend in the amount of NIS 52.2 million to its shareholders (reflecting NIS 0.82 for each NIS 1 par value ordinary shares).
In the first quarter, the Company entered into a mutual put/call options renewal agreement with non-controlling interests in a subsidiary for the sale and acquisition of the balance of the subsidiary's shares. The transaction was recorded against equity.
On February 4, 2025, the Company, through its subsidiary Matrix IT Systems Ltd., completed the acquisition of 70% of the share capital of Gav Systems Ltd. and Gav Expert Ltd. for a total of approximately NIS 45.5 million. In addition, the sellers were paid a dividend for accrued earnings up until 31.12.23 in the amount of NIS 29 million. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company and the seller have a mutual option to sell and purchase the seller's remaining shares to the Company. The acquired company provides outsourcing services, primarily in the form of computing and software personnel.
As of the report date, the valuation underlying the allocation of the consideration to assets and liabilities (the PPA) has not yet been completed, and accordingly, this allocation is temporary according to management's assessment, and may be updated in the coming periods after the valuation is completed.
According to the temporary allocation, the excess of the acquisition consideration over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, in the amount of NIS 72.2 million, the sum of NIS 21.7 million will be allocated to intangible assets and the balance will be allocated to goodwill.
As indicated above, the Group recognized the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities that were undertaken in the business combination according to a temporary measurement. Thus, the consideration for the acquisition as well as the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired are subject to final adjustment up to 12 months from the acquisition date.
