Paris, October 28th 2009 – DALET today reported revenues (non audited) of €4.5 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, a 14% increase compared to €4.0 million for the same period in 2008, and a 24% sequential increase compared to Q2-2009 revenues. Gross margin (revenues minus cost of goods sold) for the quarter was €4 million, vs. €3.3 million in Q3-2009 (+23%), gross margin rate improved from 82% to 89% due to an improved sales mix. Revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 were €11.8 million, compared to revenues of €13.1 million for the same period in 2008. Gross margin for the nine-months period was €10.7 million vs. €11.2 million for the same period in 2008 (-4%)
In terms of geographical distribution of the revenues, US sales continued their strong progress (+41% over the 9 months period as compared to the same period in 2008). Outside of the US, in particular in Europe, where order intake had considerably slowed down since Q3-2008, the strong order intake over the summer previously reported allowed Dalet to make up over the third quarter of 2009 for the slow first semester.
Based on the ongoing projects and new orders, Dalet anticipates that the improvement in sales activity will continue over the fourth quarter.
