Management Comment
Sam Cohen, CEO of EVS commented, "We are pleased with our third quarter results, showing strong growth in revenue and a solid increase in profits. Our core business is growing nicely at around 20%. Our new growth engine iBar with over $1m in orders so far, is already making an initial impact on our revenues and gaining increased traction with customers. Our "land and expand" strategy of selling the iBar has meant that our initial sales will be translated into multiple iBar orders following the successful installations. Given the size of a typical production floor, there is significant potential to sell substantially more iBars into these customers. We therefore expect the iBar to increasingly contribute and accelerate our growth in the coming quarters."
"Looking ahead, we believe our growth momentum will continue, with further improvement in our profitability as our business expands. For the fourth quarter, we expect revenues at around $1.9 million. We are now looking to capitalize on iBar's initial success and scale up our business significantly in 2015," concluded Mr. Cohen.
