MIND CTI Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Results
*Board Declares Cash Dividend
Yoqneam, Israel, March 10, 2022 MIND C.T.I. LTD. – (NasdaqGM: MNDO), a leading provider of convergent end-to-end prepaid/postpaid billing and customer care product based solutions for service providers, unified communications analytics and call accounting solutions for enterprises as well as enterprise messaging solutions, today announced results for its fourth quarter of 2021 and its full year ended December 31, 2021.
The following will summarize our business in the fourth quarter of 2021 and provide a more detailed review of the financial results for the quarter and for the full year. Full financial results can be found in the Company News section of our website at http://www.mindcti.com/company/news/ and in our Form 6-K.
Financial Highlights of Q4 2021
● | Revenues of $6.0 million, compared to $5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. |
● | Operating income of $1.6 million, or 27% of total revenue, compared to $1.3 million, or 23% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2020. |
● | Net income of $1.5 million or $0.08 per share, compared to $1.4 million or $0.07 per share in the fourth quarter of 2020. |
● | Cash flow from operating activities of $2.5 million, compared to $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. |
Financial Highlights of Full Year 2021
● | Revenues of $26.3 million, compared to $23.4 million in 2020, with the increase attributed to the messaging segment. |
● | Operating income of $6.8 million, or 25.9% of total revenue, compared to $5.5 million, or 23.0% of total revenue in 2020. |
● | Net income of $5.9 million, or $0.30 per share, compared to $5.4 million, or $0.27 per share in 2020. |

Monica Iancu, MIND CTI’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “2021 was a record year for MIND’s revenue. As previously announced, our messaging segment was favorably impacted by campaigns carried out by a few customers. The unprecedented growth we encountered in Q2 and Q3, in our messaging segment, was temporary in nature. The messaging markets, unlike our traditional ones, are difficult to predict, as external factors have a strong impact on both revenues and margins. As the proportion of our messaging business, out of our total revenue, increases, we expect our business results to present higher volatility in revenues, margins, and cash flows compared to past years. Our telecom markets continue to be challenging, with low demand and strong competition, and we expect to eventually experience negative business impact from these continuous trends.
“The political situation in Eastern Europe (Ukraine) is very sad but has no immediate direct effect on our business, as we have no operations and no customers in Russia or Ukraine.
“It is our strategy to pursue acquisitions that could be a source of growth, as well as to continue with our dividend policy, and at the same time invest in new technologies to enhance our offering.”
Revenue Distribution for Q4 2021
Revenues in Europe represented 53% (including the Message Mobile and GTX revenues in Germany that represented 42%), revenues in the Americas represented 38%, and revenues in the rest of the world represented 9% of our total revenues.
Revenues from our customer care and billing software were $2.9 million, or 48% of total revenues, revenues from enterprise messaging and payment solutions were $2.5 million, or 42% of total revenues, and revenues from our enterprise call accounting software were $0.6 million, or 10% of total revenues.
Revenues from maintenance and additional services were $5.6 million, or 93% of total revenues, while revenues from licenses were $0.4 million, or 7% of total revenues.
Revenue Distribution for Full Year 2021
Revenues in Europe represented 56% (including the Message Mobile and GTX revenues in Germany that represented 45%), revenues in the Americas represented 36%, and revenues in the rest of the world represented 8% of our total revenues.
Revenues from our customer care and billing software were $12.1 million, or 46% of total revenues, revenues from enterprise messaging and payment solutions were $12.0 million, or 46% of total revenues, and revenues from enterprise call accounting software were $2.2 million, or 8% of our total revenues.
Revenues from maintenance and additional services were $24.8 million, or 94%, compared to $22 million or 94% of total revenues in 2020, while revenues from licenses were $1.5 million, or 6% of total revenues, compared to $1.4 million, or 6% of total revenues in 2020.
Dividend Distribution
Since July 2003, when we first adopted a dividend policy, we performed 19 distributions, including one special dividend. We continue to believe that our annual dividends enhance shareholder value.
Taking into consideration our dividend policy and the remaining cash after the distribution, our Board of Directors declared on March 10, 2022, a gross dividend of $0.26 per share. The record date for the dividend will be March 24, 2022 and the payment date will be April 6, 2022. Tax will be withheld at a rate of 22%.
