Exhibit 99.1
MICT Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2019
Conference call scheduled for tomorrow, May 21, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. EDT
Montvale, NJ – May 20, 2019 - MICT, Inc. (Nasdaq: MICT), today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
MICT’s financial results for the first quarter of 2019 reflect Micronet, Ltd. revenues for the months of January 2019 and February 2019 only. On February 24, 2019, Micronet closed a public equity offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange which resulted in a dilution of MICT’s ownership interest in Micronet to 33.88%. Thus, based on U.S. GAAP, MICT no longer includes Micronet’s financial results in its consolidated financial statements effective as of March 1, 2019. However, MICT is of the opinion that it maintains effective control of Micronet by virtue of its high level of influence over Micronet.
“We continue to be engaged in the transactions contemplated by the acquisition agreement entered into among MICT, BNN and ParagonEx Ltd.,” stated David Lucatz, Chief Executive Officer of MICT.
Q1 2019 Review
● | Revenue was $477,000 in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $5.98 million in the first quarter of 2018. |
● | Gross loss was $369,000, representing 77% of revenues in the first quarter of 2019, compared to gross profit of $1.72 million, representing 29% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2018. |
● | Research and development (R&D) expense in the first quarter of 2019 was $261,000, or 55% of sales, as compared to $527,000, or 9% of sales in the first quarter of 2018. |
● | Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $1.19 million in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to $1.67 million in the first quarter of 2018. |
● | Net loss attributable to MICT, Inc. was $910,000 in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to a net loss of $850,000 in the first quarter of 2018. On a per share basis, MICT reported a loss of $0.09 per basic and diluted share from continued operations in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to a loss of $0.11 per basic and diluted share from continued operations in the first quarter of 2018. |

Please note that the date of this conference call is May 21, 2019 and any forward-looking statements that management makes today are based on assumptions that are reasonable as of this date. Except as otherwise required by law, the company is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
On the call this morning, we have Moran Amran, controller of MICT. And again, as a reminder, management will be referring to a slide presentation that can be accessed via the Investor Relations section of the company’s site or the link in the press release.
We will start with an opening message from Moran, who will give an overview of business developments for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Moran will then move to review the numbers. I will now turn the call over to Moran, who will begin the presentation on slide 5. Please go ahead, Moran.
Moran Amran:
Slide 5 | Thank you, good morning everyone. |
In the first quarter of 2019, we continued to be engaged in the transactions contemplated by the acquisition agreement MICT entered in December of 2018 among MICT, BNN and Paragonex Ltd. During the first quarter, MICT’s ownership interest in Micronet decreased to 33.88% and its voting rights decreased to 39.53% as a result of a public equity offering on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange that Micronet Ltd. closed on February 24, 2019. According to U.S. GAAP, MICT no longer reports consolidated Micronet Ltd. numbers, effective March 1, 2019. As a result, the first quarter 2019 results that MICT is reporting today reflect consolidated Micronet Ltd. revenues for the months of January 2019 and February 2019 only.
I would like to point out that under the relevant Israeli securities laws, MICT is of the opinion that it maintains effective control of Micronet by virtue of its high level of influence over Micronet.

Revenue was $477,000 in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $5.98 million in the first quarter of 2018.

Research and development expense in the first quarter of 2019 was 261,000, or 55% of sales, as compared to $527,000, or 9% of sales in the first quarter of 2018.

Basic and diluted loss per share from discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2019 was 9 cents per share as compared to 11 cents per share in the first quarter of 2018.
Slide 9 | Turning to slide 9, on our balance sheet we have $347,000 in cash and cash equivalents, a $1.8 million deficit in working capital, and a deficit of $138,000 in shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2019. |
