Management Comment

David Mahlab, Pointer's Chief Executive Officer, commented: "As we exit 2016, we are very proud of our performance. We showed a solid level of revenue growth in the fourth quarter, especially our service revenues which were driven by the increase in our subscriber base. Further contributing to our subscriber-base was the successful acquisition of Cielo, which is enabling us to further expand our business in the Southern part of Brazil. We are also pleased with the improvements in our margins, which is a demonstration of the strong operating leverage inherent to our business model. Additionally, our solid operating cash flow of $8.8 million for the year contributed to our balance sheet strength, enabling us to take advantage of further growth opportunities in our markets."

Continued Mr. Mahlab, "Looking ahead to 2017, we have a number of exciting prospects ahead of us in the Internet of Vehicles space, that we are working on. Our recently announced solution to install our driver-behavior technology on over 4,000 for-hire vehicles in New York City, working under popular ride sharing apps, continues on track. We also made strong progress in penetrating companies with large fleets, including FEMSA, the largest public bottler by sales volume of Coca-Cola products in the world. As our results from the fourth quarter show, our growth drivers are increasingly contributing and for 2017 as a whole, we look forward to a year of double-digit revenue growth."

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Pointer uses adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP net income as Non-GAAP financial performance measurements.

We calculate adjusted EBITDA by adding back to net income financial expenses, taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and the effects of non-cash stock-based compensation expenses.

We calculate Non-GAAP net income by adding back to net income the effects of non-cash stock based compensation expenses, amortization and impairment of long lived assets, non-cash tax expenses, spin-off related expenses and losses and acquisition related one-time costs.

The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of Non-GAAP charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results.

Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures help investors to understand our current and future operating cash flow and performance, especially as our acquisitions have resulted in amortization and non-cash items that have had a material impact on our GAAP profits. Adjusted EBITDA and non GAAP net income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
