RADA Electronic Industries Announces Q1 2008 Results

NETANYA, Israel, May 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. (Nasdaq SmallCap: RADA) today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008. Revenues were $3.7 million, an increase of 34% from 2007 and gross profit was $0.6 million, an increase of 35% from 2007. Operating loss for the quarter was $319 thousand compared with an operating loss of $339 thousand in the first quarter of 2007. The financial expenses of the period increased to $432 thousand from $182 thousand in 2007. As a result the company reported a net loss of $0.77 million or $0.09 per share. This compares with a net loss of $0.53 million or $0.06 per share, for the comparable quarter in 2007.

Commenting on the results, Zvika Alon, RADA's CEO said, "The revenues and gross profits of the first quarter have improved compared to the Q1 2007 results. Traditionally we have experienced that the first half of the year is weaker than the second, we maintain our view that we will continue to show improvement in our orders backlog resulting from our marketing efforts. While our production deliveries keep increasing, we plan to continue investing during 2008 in research and development mainly in our new Inertial Navigation product line."
