Anyone playing MAGS today? Monster Q4 report. I thought this company used to have a big profit one quarter, a loss the next. But looks like their second strong quarter in a row. Maybe they can sustain these good results?

PR Newswire Magal Security Systems, Ltd.

During 2014, cash was used for the acquisition of optical fiber operations and technology, as well as to support the growth of the company.
MANAGEMENT COMMENT
Commenting on the results, Mr. Eitan Livneh, President and CEO of Magal, said, "Our fourth quarter results demonstrate very strong growth in revenues both sequentially as well as over the comparable period last year. In addition, our full year 2014 results were also strong, with revenues growing 51% year-over-year. Another positive aspect of our results is that the high level of revenue was diversified over many different projects and across the many regions in which we operate. This high level of revenue also led to improvements in profitability. Our results would have been even better had it not been for the impact of the impairment charge related to the CyberSeal, as well as the ongoing investment in the business which is still in its early stages."
Continued Mr. Livneh, "We are very pleased with the performance of the recently acquired optical fiber activities which have grown as expected. It is now fully integrated within our operations and enables us to win additional business as our solutions now include fiber, a fast growing area. With regard to CyberSeal, while the sales cycle is long as can be expected from a business in its early stages, we continue to invest in its R&D efforts, to create an end-to-end solution for the convergence of physical and logical security."
Concluded Mr. Livneh, "On a personal note, I will soon be leaving Magal after six years of growing the business both organically and through successful acquisitions. Over the past few weeks, I have been working closely with Saar Koursh, who will be taking over the CEO position and I believe I am handing over the reins to a strong pair of hands. I wish Saar and Magal's employees all over the world much ongoing success."
