Management Comment

Dov Sella, RADA's Chief Executive Officer commented , “We are exceptionally pleased with our performance in 2020, growing our top line by 72% to an all-time record of $76.2 million. Furthermore, even while making the significant investments in our infrastructure, including establishing a new production line and a presence in the United States, we generated EBITDA of almost $10 million for the year. Given our increased scale and that our large investments are now behind us, we look forward to continued strong revenue growth, with higher profit margins.”

Continued Mr. Sella, “Today we are announcing the signing of an LOI to invest $3 million for a 12% stake in RADSee Technologies Ltd., an early-stage and advanced radar technology company, targeting the commercial vehicle market, both current and autonomous. We see many technological synergies through this investment which has the potential to expand our addressable markets in the future. We retain an option to increase our stake should we see that their solution is maturing. At this point, we are taking a minority stake so that we may remain focused on the massive growth potential in our current end-markets.”

Con cluded Mr. Sella , “Our strong order momentum since mid-2019, which continued into 2020, has increased our confidence that we will exceed revenues of $120 million in 2021. We expect that as the current programs to which we are supplying our radars mature, the growth trend of our revenues will continue beyond 2021.”

Information with Regard to non-GAAP Financial Measures

?The Company presents its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. RADA’s management uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is provided in this press release and the accompanying supplemental information because management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful for investors and financial institutions as it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period. As presented in this release, the term Adjusted EBITDA consists of net profit (loss) according to U.S. GAAP, excluding net financing expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other GAAP results. Reconciliation between the Company's results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in the table below.
