YOQNEAM, ISRAEL--(Marketwired - May 12, 2014) - MIND C.T.I. Ltd. (NASDAQ: MNDO), a leading provider of convergent end-to-end prepaid/postpaid billing and customer care product based solutions for service providers as well as unified communications analytics and call accounting solutions for enterprises, today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

The following will summarize our major achievements in the first quarter of 2014 as well as our business. Full financial results can be found in the Investors section of our website at www.mindcti.com/investor/PressReleases.asp and in our Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Financial Highlights

• Revenues were $5.70 million, up 12% sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2013 and up 28% as compared to $4.44 million in the first quarter of 2013.

• Operating income was $1.15 million or 20% of revenue, up 17% sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2013 and compared with $140 thousand in the first quarter of 2013.

• Net income was $1.0 million or $0.05 per share, compared with $162 thousand or $0.01 per share in the first quarter of 2013.

• One new win and follow on orders.

• Cash flow from operating activities was $1.0 million.

As of March 31, 2014 we had 357 employees in our four offices, compared with 350 as of March 31, 2013.

"We are pleased with our solid first quarter results and with our backlog, which reflect ongoing demand for MIND products and services and consistent execution. We expect that the impact of our previously announced latest large wins will be significant both to our revenues and to our margins for the next few quarters as we recognize the deployments based on percentage of completion recognition method," said Monica Iancu, MIND CTI CEO.

Iancu continued: "We started implementation of MIND's largest win ever, with an existing customer in East Europe that will replace other platforms they currently use with MIND's truly real-time convergent platform. This significant win that we announced in December 2013, is a multi-million dollar deal and we expect to recognize its revenue during a phased implementation within the next eight to ten quarters. We are excited when we win new business, but just as excited when existing customers enhance their relationship with us, showing their appreciation for our technology and support. We expect to close new agreements of both types in the near term."
