Monica Iancu, MIND CTI’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Our lower revenues reflect the expected and previously announced negative impact of the shrinking relevant telecom markets and strong competition. We experience the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic in all areas of our business. We believe that due to the general economic uncertainty, the majority of our customers, both enterprises and carriers, are restricting their budgets and are delaying new projects. Regarding the two acquisitions we completed in 2019, we successfully integrated these two subsidiaries, and they have both performed well. While for the near term we expect a negative impact of the abovementioned circumstances on our results, we believe that we have the required resources to respond to market needs, to be relevant for future market trends in our core billing, analytics and messaging platforms, as well as continue with our dividend policy and at the same time focus on targeting potential acquisitions that could be a source of growth.”

Revenue Distribution for Q4 2020 Revenues in the Americas represented 44%, revenues in Europe represented 51% (including the Message Mobile and GTX revenues in Germany that represented 38%) and revenues in the rest of the world represented 5% of our total revenues.

Dividend Distribution Since July 2003, when we first adopted a dividend policy, we performed 18 distributions, including one special dividend. We continue to believe that our annual dividends enhance shareholder value.

The record date for the dividend will be March 18, 2021 and the payment date will be April 8, 2021. Tax will be withheld at a rate of 20%.

Active Pursuit of Acquisitions As previously announced, we continue targeting potential acquisitions that could be a source of growth, by focusing on acquisition targets at reasonable valuations that satisfy the criteria we defined: proven revenues, complementary technology or geography and expected accretion to earnings within two to three quarters.
