Six That Got a Piece of Their Own

It was a busy day, and six of the filers justified separate treatment:

The quarterThe central point
Matrix2,119.4m · net 135.4mAn 18.3% gross margin, about 52% of it surviving to operating
Mekorot1,425.4m · net 242.2mA gross loss, a net profit - and regulatory deferral accounts
Alony Hetz785.6m · loss 107.8mThe loss to shareholders is larger than the total loss
Big714.7m · net 428.4mOperating profit at 119.5% of revenue
Mivne324.9m · net 123.9mFinancing is 3.3 times the revaluation
Urbanica278.9m · net 30.6mA 20.5% operating margin against 5.2% at Retailors

And alongside them Mehadrin, with a gross loss and a net profit, and Polyram, whose 78.5% gross margin narrows to 5.6% at the bottom line.

And the Rest

And three rows in that table deserve flagging, because they concern the balance sheet rather than profit.

Equity
Razornegative, NIS 12.9 million
Cando Dronesnegative, NIS 5.9 million
Blue Wavenegative, NIS 0.65 million

Negative equity means liabilities exceed assets in the books. It does not mean the company is insolvent - a company can operate that way if it has funding sources - but it is a line to look at before any other.

And Blue Wave is the extreme case: its total balance sheet stands at NIS 1.9 million in all.

And Airangi Tech is an outlier in the opposite direction: revenue of NIS 4.2 million and net profit of NIS 13.8 million - that is, profit 3.3 times revenue. At a company of that size this is almost always a one-off item below the operating line, and the structured filing does not set it out.

And What Happened Outside the Reports

Aran Research and Development reported this morning the sale of its product development and manufacturing activity to Ondas, at a valuation of NIS 100 million.

And the detail that makes it interesting: the entire consideration will be paid in newly issued Ondas shares, with the share count set by the average over five trading days before allocation. There is not a single shekel of cash in the deal.

A Note on Eltek

Eltek announced on 11 August that it would publish its second quarter results on 18 August, before the US market opens, and hold a conference call at 15:30 Israel time.

As at the close of this piece, no new filing of its own was found with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Its most recent filing is from 11 August - the date announcement itself.

We do not know the reason, and will not speculate. We will update when it publishes.

And What Is Ahead

Tomorrow, 19 August, reporters include Azrieli, Delek Group, Ashdod Refinery, Clal Insurance, Carasso Motors and Castro.

And on Thursday - G City, Nofar Energy, Electra Real Estate and IBI.
