Magal Security Systems Ltd. 6-K Items 1. Press Release re Magal Security Systems Ltd. Announces Third Quarter and Nine Months Financial Results dated November 7, 2005. ITEM 1 Press Release Source: Magal Security Systems Ltd. Magal Security Systems Ltd. Announces Third Quarter and Nine Months Financial Results Monday November 7, 6:01 am ET Revenues Increase 17% Compared With the Third Quarter of 2004 YAHUD, Israel, November 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal Security Systems Ltd. (Nasdaq NM:MAGS; TASE:MAGS) today announced its consolidated financial results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005. Revenues for the third quarter of 2005 reached US$17.8 million, an increase of 16.7 percent compared with the third quarter of 2004 and an increase of 3.3 percent over the second quarter of 2005. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2005 reached US$7.5 million (42 percent of revenues), an increase of 9.7 percent over the third quarter of 2004 and an increase of 0.8 percent compared with the second quarter of 2005. The fluctuation in the gross margin was within expected parameters and is due to the revenues mix between turnkey projects and products. Operating and net income in the third quarter of 2005, reached US$974,000 and US$602,000, respectively, compared with operating and net income of US$1.2 million and US$663,000 respectively, for the third quarter of 2004. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter were US$0.06, compared with diluted earnings per share of US$0.08 in the same period last year. The decrease was due to a 19% increase in the number of shares as a result of 1,700,000 share secondary offering completed in April 2005 and the 9% decrease in net income. Revenues for the first nine months of 2005 reached US$48.9 million, an increase of 11.2 percent compared with the same period in 2004. Operating and net income for the nine-month period, reached US$2.7 million and US$ 1.4 million, respectively, compared with US$ 2.1 million and US$611,000 respectively, for the first nine months of 2004. Diluted earnings per share for the nine-month period were US$0.14, compared with diluted earnings per share of US$0.07 in the same period of last year. In the second quarter of 2004, the Company recorded an expense of US$1.2 million relating to an award granted to all of the Company's employees by the Company's two principal shareholders out of their own personal funds. According to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP), this grant was recorded as an expense in the second quarter of 2004, although it did not affect shareholders' equity nor the Company's cash flow. Commenting on the results, Mr. Jacob Even-Ezra, Chairman of Magal and CEO, said: "I am pleased to present good results for the third quarter. Our work on the seam line project is proceeding at full-steam and according to schedule. The Israeli Government recently stated that the completion of the seam-line fence is its top priority and we believe we are very well placed to win the remaining tenders on the seam-line fence." The Company will be hosting its quarterly conference call at 11:00am EST today. Mr. Jacob Even-Ezra, Chairman of the Board & CEO, and Mrs. Raya Asher, V.P. Finance & CFO, will review and discuss the third quarter 2005 results. They will then be available to answer questions. To participate, you may call one of the teleconferencing numbers that follows.
