Monica Iancu, CEO, commented: “We are pleased that in 2014 we succeeded to translate the large deals we signed in 2013 into revenues through successful execution of the implementation of our projects milestones. While in 2014 we reached exceptional revenues and operating margins, some new deals that we expected to close in 2014 were delayed, thus our booking is lower than a year ago.”

New Wins & Follow-on Orders in Q4 2014
In the fourth quarter we had one modest new win as well as some major upgrades from existing customers, the upgrades mainly for service enhancements and additional functionalities.
The new win is with a leading European global financial services company. PhonEX-ONE has been chosen for its advanced telecom business analysis and cost control management solution for global organizations.
One major upgrade includes enhancement of the MIND system to distinguish between data services (Internet, MMS, VoLTE), and to authorize and rate these differently. MIND will provide different configurable authorization amounts for “capping” the data services that will be offered by this customer.
Dividend Distribution
Since July 2003, when we first adopted a dividend policy, according to which we declare, subject to specific Board approval and applicable law, a dividend distribution once per year, we have distributed 11 yearly dividends with an average of 21 cents per share.
We continue to believe that our annual dividends enhance shareholders value and we plan to continue with yearly distributions.
Taking into consideration our dividend policy and the remaining cash after the distribution, our Board declared on February 26, 2015 a gross dividend of $0.30 per share. The record date for the dividend will be March 12, 2015 and the payment date will be March 26, 2015. Tax will be withheld at a rate of about 24%.
Investing in R&D
In order to maintain a state-of-the-art technology, each year we invest in R&D, sometimes adding new modules, sometimes in order to be compliant with new standards and many times to keep up with the new tools and new platforms that we use to build upon.
In 2014, along with supporting the additional needs defined by our customers, we invested significantly in a massive upgrade of the MINDBill infrastructure that includes technology updates of the entire spectrum, including application infrastructure, application server and database upgrades and improved monitoring.
New Office in Romania
Lately we started to analyze the option to open a new MIND office location in East Europe in order to enlarge and diversify our teams, mainly in the Professional Services department.
We checked the availability of qualified resources and office space in several locations, and we decided that Suceava, Romania is the preferred location. Our second location in Romania started to operate on February 16, 2015.
Monica concluded: “We are pleased as always with the growing recurring revenues and the follow-on orders that reconfirm our customer satisfaction. We operate in a very active market that shows continuous demand for our products and services and we expect that in 2015 we will be able to close new deals and significant follow-on orders. The valuable customer base, well supported by our devoted professional team and the ongoing investment in development of enhanced functionality and state-of-the-art technology are the basis for our expected long-term continuous performance.”
