CHAIRMAN and CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT

Introduction

We are delighted to report that 2014 was another year of significant progress and growth for Matomy.

Throughout 2014 we made significant investments in all areas of our business, in particular within our strategic growth activities of mobile, social and video advertising. In doing so, we have laid a strong foundation for achieving our goal of becoming the recognised global leader in digital performance-based advertising.

We were delighted to announce the strategic affiliation we formed in October 2014 with Publicis Groupe. By working collaboratively with the Publicis Groupe management team and its digital advertising and media buying agencies, we aim to offer compelling performance-based advertising solutions to its stable of blue-chip international advertisers, thus increasing our geographic reach with budgets from those clients. We are already recognising benefits from this collaboration following the February 2015 election of Publicis Groupe Chief Strategist Rishad Tobaccowala to the Matomy Board of Directors.

 

Mobile has become a growth driver across all of Matomy's activities, particularly in the areas of search, social, email and domain monetisation. We believe that the company that leads mobile performance will lead the market. It is our intention to lead mobile performance-based advertising, and we are making strategic investments in this activity to achieve this goal.

Our acquisition in October 2014 of MobFox has enabled us to expand our capabilities in mobile, RTB and programmatic advertising. Importantly, we expect that MobFox's bespoke technology will enable us to set a goal of generating 50% of revenues from mobile activity within three years.

We are pleased with the progress we have made thus far as a public company. We look forward to further strengthening our global performance-based advertising capabilities as we seek additional growth and expansion, as well as a strong increase in shareholder value.

2014 Trading performanceOur core businesses have continued to deliver a strong performance and, in some cases, such as our mobile and video activity, have been exceptional, helping us grow our worldwide market share.

For 2014 we reported a 23% increase in revenue to $237.4 million on a GAAP basis (FY2013: $193.5 million), driven primarily by our identified strategic growth areas of mobile, social and video activity. On a pro-forma basis, revenue and adjusted EBITDA increased by 19% and 40%, respectively, delivering a 9.3% adjusted EBITDA margin, representing a 140 basis point improvement in margin. Earnings per share increased by 9% to $0.10 (FY2013: $0.09).

 

We gained significant market share in 2014 as measured by the growth of active customers, which reached 5,157 (FY2013: 1,557), mainly driven by the acquisitions of Team Internet and MobFox.

 

Geographically, Matomy is seeing the strongest growth in the Americas (including North and South America), with revenue in that region increasing 29% ($33.4 million) to $149.2 million (FY2013: $115.8 million). This was driven by a marked increase in video advertising revenues, most of which is generated in the United States; new capabilities added to the Group, including email marketing following the January 2013 acquisition of Matomy US; and from domain monetisation revenues following the June 2014 acquisition of a majority stake in Team Internet.

 

European revenues rebounded in the second half of 2014 to increase 7% from the year prior, to $67.2 million (FY2013: $62.6 million). This growth offset a challenging first half in European activity, particularly in Spain, where a change in user registration requirements for additional mobile media services by certain mobile operators affected our activity in that region for a period of time in the first half of 2014.

 

Matomy's display and video activity continued to contribute the largest share of overall Group revenue, growing 15.1% in 2014, to $139.3 million (FY2013: $121.0 million). The Group's mobile activity experienced the largest percentage revenue growth in 2014. Aggregate mobile traffic across all media channels increased 195%, contributing approximately 20% of Group revenue on a pro-forma basis (including MobFox). This increase was driven by strong organic growth in Matomy's mobile activity, as well as by the inclusion of $2.2 million of revenues from the acquired MobFox business during the last two months of 2014.

 

Group operating profit decreased 10.8% for the year due, in part, to one of Matomy's advertising customers in the United States, American Laser Centers LLC, filing for bankruptcy protection, as reported in a November 2014 trading update.

 

2015 PrioritiesOur key priorities for 2015 are as follows:

1. Leverage the MobFox acquisition, and Matomy's existing mobile activity, to become the global leader in mobile performance-based advertising. In order to achieve this, we intend to invest resources around our mobile activity in the following areas: mobile video, mobile performance, social and the expansion of our mobile offer wall service.

2. Gain wider access and build upon the affiliation with Publicis Groupe. We are working collaboratively towards establishing Matomy as a compelling performance-based advertising solution available to international advertising customers of Publicis Groupe.

3. Additional advancements in our proprietary performance-based advertising technology. We will maintain our technological focus on programmatic media buying for mobile and web with the integration of big data capabilities. We also intend to enhance the mobile programmatic advertising technology we acquired from MobFox by adding new capabilities, such as video and performance algorithms.

4. Expand into the Asia-Pacific market. The Asia-Pacific market represents one of the largest and fastest-growing sectors of digital advertising. We intends to strategically increase Matomy's presence in Asia, for example, by partnering with a local leader.

5. Continue to seek value-enhancing opportunities. We intend to seek more value-enhancing mergers or acquisitions in one or more of our strategic growth areas to further build the growth and value of our business.

6. Strengthen corporate structure and complete key employee retention plan. We intend to strengthen the corporate structure to reflect the needs of a publicly traded company and allow our CEO to concentrate on strategic value, enhancing new and existing activities and ensuring retention of our key operational and business leaders.

Outlook

Matomy has good momentum behind it at the start of 2015 and is poised to take advantage of the continued growth in worldwide advertiser spend on performance-based advertising campaigns. Current trading in 2015 is in line with our expectations, with notable growth in our mobile video, social, email and domain monetisation activities.

 

We continue to increase our capabilities in mobile, RTB and programmatic advertising and expect further progress in these areas of our business, in line with our overall growth strategy. Our acquisition of MobFox has enabled us to enhance and expedite mobile integration across all of Matomy's global performance-based advertising capabilities.

 

We are also increasing collaboration with the Publicis Groupe management team and its companies, which will enable us to further strengthen our client base, expand into new verticals and geographies, further enhancing our revenue growth.

 

Our operations in the Americas, which now comprise 63%, in aggregate, of Group revenue, continue to benefit from increased advertiser demand for video and mobile advertising solutions. Also driving growth in the Americas is the resurgence of our Matomy US business, which is benefitting from deeper integration with the Group's global activities and is performing well at the start of 2015. Similarly, our European business is performing well at the start of 2015 benefiting among other from greater access to MobFox's and Team Internet's clients and media partners, which are based in Europe.

 

The Group made excellent progress throughout 2014, increasing revenue and profits whilst also investing in new capabilities and geographies. We would like to thank all of Matomy's employees for the substantial efforts they have made to deliver these results, in what was a very exciting and productive year. Looking ahead, Matomy will continue to build the business for the long term and remains confident of delivering its plan.

*Based on consolidated financials, not including the consolidation of Team Internet on a pro-forma basis.

 

(1) Aggregate mobile traffic across all media channels (including MobFox) increased 195% in FY2013, contributing approximately 20% of Group revenue on a pro-forma basis (FY2014: $53.0 million; FY2013: $18.0 million).

(2) Primarily comprised of revenues from the email media channel.

Display and video

Display and video media channel revenues increased by $18.3 million, or 15%, to $139.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (FY2013: $121 million), primarily due to increased demand for video advertisements.

 

Search

Search media channel revenues decreased by $12.3 million, or 61%, to $7.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (FY2013: $20.1 million), mainly due to the anticipated trend by advertisers to reduce outsourcing services related to search activity, as well as technological tracking adaptations required as a result of a shift by users in the gaming vertical from personal computers to mobile devices.

 

Social media and virtual currency

Social media and virtual currency media channel revenues increased by $0.3 million, or 1%, to $20.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (FY2013: $19.8 million). This increase reflects the first full year of revenues contributed by the 2013 acquisition of Adotomi (now known as 'Matomy Social').

 

The increase in social media revenues reflected even stronger underlying revenue growth, which were accounted for on a net basis, due to the maturing social media advertising market driven by Facebook's agency policy, which encourages advertisers to increasingly make direct payment of media costs. The revenues which were accounted for on a net basis would have contributed a further $3.6 million to this media channel if they had been reported gross.

 

Mobile

Mobile media channel revenues increased by $12.5 million, or 94%, to $25.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (FY2013: $13.2 million), mainly due to strong organic growth in Matomy's mobile activity, as well as the inclusion of $2.2 million of revenues from the acquired MobFox business in the last two months of 2014.

 

Domain monetisation

Domain monetisation media channel revenues commenced only in H2 2014, following the Team Internet acquisition.

Other media channels

Other media channel revenues increased by $2.7 million, or 14%, to $22.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (FY2013: $19.4 million). This increase reflects a 26% increase in revenues from the email media channel, offset by a decrease mainly in other media channels that were not in line with Matomy's core business.

 

Revenues by geography

Americas

Americas revenues increased by $33.4 million, or 29%, to $149.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (FY2013: $115.8 million). This increase primarily reflects the increase in video advertising revenues, and also due to domain monetisation revenues following the June 2014 acquisition of a majority stake in Team Internet.

 

Europe

Europe revenues increased by $4.6 million, or 7%, to $67.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (FY2013: $62.6 million), mainly due to organic growth in existing markets, as well as new markets Matomy entered via the Team Internet and MobFox acquisitions.

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

Revenue

Matomy had a strong 2014, with revenue improving by 23%, to $237.4 million (FY2013: $193.5 million). This growth was driven by increased activity in Matomy's identified strategic growth drivers of mobile, social and video advertising, as well as organic growth driven by an increase in active customers and average spend per active customer. In addition, $24.8 million of revenues were contributed by Team Internet and MobFox.

Cost of revenues increased by $36.4 million, or 26%, to $178.4 million (75% of total revenues) for the year ended 31 December 2014 from $142 million (73% of total revenues) the year prior. Since Matomy's cost of revenues primarily consists of direct media costs, the majority of the growth in cost of revenues in 2014 was driven by revenue growth, but also reflected an increase in allocated costs, which led to a decrease in gross margin. Increased activity in social media advertising, which is a highly competitive and regulated media channel, also resulted in higher direct media costs and lower gross margin than Matomy's historical average.

Operating expenses increased by $8.5 million, or 20%, to $50.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (FY2013: $41.8 million). Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 21% (FY2013: 22%). Excluding Matomy's 2013 acquisitions, operating expenses as a percentage of revenues for the year ended 31 December 2013 would have decreased to 17.3%.

 

Research and development expenses increased by $0.2 million, or 3%, to $7.8 million (FY2013: $7.6 million). This increase primarily reflects the additional costs of the R&D team acquired in the Team Internet acquisition.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $5.5 million, or 30%, to $23.4 million (FY2013: $17.9 million).  This increase represents additional investment in headcount, both organic and from the Team Internet and MobFox acquisitions, leading to increased salary costs and related allocated costs; increased sales commissions payable attributable to the growth in revenues; and increased amortisation costs from the acquisitions made in 2013 and 2014.

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.8 million, or 17%, to $19.1 million (FY2013: $16.3 million), due to several factors, including:

 

· One-time IPO bonuses of $3.1 million paid during 2014;

· Increased costs attributable to Matomy becoming a publicly traded company, including non-executive directors' remuneration, key advisors' and corporate brokers' engagements, corporate governance compliance costs and investor relations costs; and

· An increase in salary and allocated costs following Matomy's 2013 and 2014 acquisitions.

These incremental expenses were offset by cost savings and efficiencies made, in particular from the Matomy US business.

 

Financial expenses

Financial expenses, net, increased by $3.2 million to $4.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (FY2013: $0.9 million). This increase reflects revaluations recorded on assets and liabilities not denominated in dollars, caused by significant movements in foreign exchange rates, in particular the USD-ILS and USD-EUR rates. In relation to these movements, Matomy recorded an increase in financial expenses of $2.1 million arising from the use of hedging instruments. These expenses arose due to the average hedge rate being significantly lower than the actual exchange rate on 31 December 2014.

 

Equity gains

Equity gains (losses) of affiliated companies, net, changed to a gain of $7.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 from a loss of $0.1 million the year prior. This change primarily reflects the one-off gain of $7.3 million resulting from revaluing the prior equity interest in Team Internet held before Matomy acquired a controlling 70% stake in June 2014. In addition, an impairment of $0.5 million in the Uppsite investment was recorded due to Uppsite's intention to enter liquidation, as well as various smaller gains and losses from the other affiliated companies. Other than acquiring the controlling shareholding in Team Internet, there were no other changes to Matomy's shareholdings in affiliated companies.

 

Taxes on income

Taxes on income increased by $0.3 million to $1.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (FY2013: $1.5 million), reflecting the increased effective corporate tax rate.

 

Matomy is subject to corporation tax on its income, principally in Israel, the United States and Germany, as well as other jurisdictions in which Matomy has operations. Matomy's effective corporate tax rate was 38.9% in the year ended 31 December 2014, and 16.9% in the year ended 31 December 2013.

Matomy's effective corporate tax rate was significantly higher in 2014 compared to 2013 due to exchange rate movements between the Israeli shekel and other currencies, which increased finance expenses and reduced pre-tax income in the consolidated results when presented in the Group reporting currency of US dollars. Matomy's results in Israeli shekels were not affected by these currency movements, and since the tax expenses of Israeli companies are calculated in Israeli shekels as required by local regulations, the consolidated tax expenses and effective corporate tax rate increased accordingly. The effective corporate tax rate without taking account of these finance expenses would have been 17.7%.

The Israeli statutory corporate tax rate was 26.5% in 2014 and 25% in 2013. Matomy's effective corporate tax rate is lower than the Israeli statutory corporate tax rate because Matomy benefits from a reduced corporate tax rate under the Israeli privileged enterprise programme. Under this programme, a portion of Matomy's income is subject to reduced corporate tax rates in Israel as long as Matomy continues to meet various conditions.

 

Matomy's US operations are subject to US federal, state and foreign income taxes. To date, Matomy has not been required to pay US federal income taxes because its US operations have current and accumulated net operating losses. Matomy's US operations incurred minimal state and foreign income tax liabilities for the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013. However, Matomy expects to be required to pay US federal, state and foreign income taxes as its US operations grow in the mid- to long-term, which is likely to increase Matomy's effective corporate tax rate in the future.

 

Team Internet is subject to German corporate and trade taxes. The effective tax rate of Team Internet on a standalone basis was 33.0% in 2014.

 

Net income

Net income increased by $2.6 million to $9.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (FY2013: $7.2 million).

 

Revaluation of redeemable non-controlling interests

As of 31 December 2014, Matomy's $34.1 million in redeemable non‑controlling interests consisted of:

$1.7 million relating to Matomy Social; and

$32.4 million relating to Team Internet.

The statements of income for the years ended 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013 also reflect previously existing non-controlling interests in Matomy Mexico, Intermedia Sheva and Matomy Latam.

 

Amortisation of intangible assets

Amortisation expenses amounted to $5.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2014, an increase of $4.6 million from amortisation expenses of $1.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2013. Of this increase, $3.1 million was due to amortisation of the intangible assets Matomy acquired in the Team Internet acquisition, whilst the rest of the increase reflected the first full year of amortisation of the Matomy US and Adotomi acquisitions.

 

Exceptional items

The following exceptional items were recorded in profit and loss in 2014. Matomy views these items as exceptional as they are material to the financial statements and non-recurring and therefore were excluded from non-GAAP measures:

 

· IPO-related bonuses amounting to $3.1 million; and

· Transaction costs associated with M&A activity amounting to $165 thousand.

Liquidity and cash flows

* Represents amounts less than $0.1 million.

(A) Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities

Matomy's net cash provided by (used in) operating activities decreased by $6.9 million to a $0.4 million outflow for the year ended 31 December 2014 (FY2013: $6.5 million inflow).

Net cash used in operating activities consisted of $9.8 million in net income, less $1.0 million relating to non‑cash expenses, less $9.2 million used to fund net changes in working capital. Non‑cash expenses were primarily depreciation and amortisation of $6.9 million, significantly higher from prior years due to the 2013 and 2014 acquisitions, stock‑based compensation expense of $1.4 million, less decreases in deferred taxes of $2.4 million, as well as the gain on achieving a controlling stake in Team Internet of $7.3 million.

Net changes in working capital in 2014 were mainly driven by increases of $10.6 million in trade receivables and $1.0 million in other receivables, in addition to a decrease of $2.2 million in accrued expenses, less an increase of $4.5 million in trade payables. The remaining amount consisted of smaller movements in various other assets and liabilities.

Several key factors contributed to the negative cash flow from operating activities in 2014, including: the one-time IPO bonuses of $3.1 million; investments in working capital relating to the acquisitions of Team Internet and MobFox ($1.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively); and the significant increase in video activity, which typically has longer payment terms for customers, causing trade receivables to increase. Excluding the effect of these items, Matomy continued to generate positive cash flow from its operations.

For the year ended 31 December 2013, Matomy's net cash provided by operating activities consisted of $7.2 million in net income, $1.9 million relating to non‑cash expenses, less $2.6 million used to fund net changes in working capital. Non‑cash expenses were primarily depreciation and amortisation of $2.1 million, stock‑based compensation expense of $1.2 million, less decreases in deferred taxes of $1.8 million.

Net changes in working capital in 2013 were mainly driven by increases of $6.3 million in trade receivables and $0.7 million in other receivables, less increases of $3.2 million in trade payables and $1.9 million increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities. The remaining $0.7 million cash outflows consisted of smaller movements in various other assets and liabilities.

(B) Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $19.3 million to $34.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (FY2013: $15.1 million). This included a $22.4 million investment in Team Internet, a $10.0 million investment in MobFox, $0.5 million payment of the deferred consideration for Adotomi and a $1.4 million investment in property and equipment.

For the year ended 31 December 2013, net cash used in investing activities included a $10.0 million investment in Matomy US, a $0.8 million investment in MobAff, a $2.9 million investment in Adotomi and a $1.0 million investment in property and equipment.

(C) Net cash provided by financing activities

As of 31 December 2014, Matomy had $19.1 million in term loans. Of those, $6.7 million are due within one year.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $64.1 million to $71.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (FY2013: $7.7 million). This related primarily to $61.5 million IPO proceeds, net of expenses, a $10.0 million net increase in outstanding term loans, and $1.7 million proceeds from sale of treasury shares, less $1.7 million of short-term bank credit repaid during the year.

For the year ended 31 December 2013, net cash used in financing activities related primarily to $1.1 million of short-term bank credit received, a $9.0 million term loan, less $1.0 million repaid during the year, and $1.0 million relating to purchase of additional shares in a subsidiary.

 (D) Effect of exchange rate differences in cash

Effect of exchange rate differences derive from the differences between Matomy's functional currency of US dollars, and the functional foreign currency of euro used by certain of Matomy's affiliated companies. For the period under review, exchange rate differences did not have a material effect on Matomy's cash flow, but this may not remain the case in the future.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired.

 

Matomy's goodwill was acquired mainly through the 2013 and 2014 acquisitions.

 

Matomy performs an annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine whether the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. During the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013, no impairment losses were identified.

 

Segments

Our chief operating decision-maker is our Chief Executive Officer. On a monthly basis, the CEO reviews revenue and adjusted EBITDA at Group level, as well as revenue at the level of media channels, for the purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.

 

As a result, Matomy operates in a single reportable segment as a provider of marketing services.

 

Acquisitions

Matomy acquired an additional 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Team Internet AG ('Team Internet') on 19 June 2014 for a consideration of €19.7 million ($26.8 million). Team Internet is a direct search navigation and domain monetisation company based in Munich, Germany. Following the acquisition, Matomy holds 70% of the issued and outstanding shares of Team Internet.

 

On 31 October 2014, Matomy completed the acquisition of the assets and liabilities of MobFox Mobile Advertising GmbH ('MobFox') for a total consideration of $19.7 million. MobFox offers a one-stop, integrated mobile programmatic advertising solution for publishers and advertisers through its technology platform which facilitates online trading of advertising in multiple formats for mobile devices.

 

Earnings per share

Matomy's basic earnings per share increased by $0.01, or 9%, to $0.10 for the year ended 31 December 2014 (FY2013: $0.09 EPS). This change was influenced by a 22% increase in after-tax profit and a 12% increase in the weighted average number of outstanding shares, mainly due to Matomy's July 2014 IPO and the issuance of shares related to the MobFox acquisition.

 

Treasury shares

As part of the acquisition of Team Internet in July 2014, 1,625,659 ordinary shares of Matomy, which were owned by Team Internet and acquired through the transaction, were reclassified as treasury shares and valued at $6.9 million. Team Internet's minority shareholders are entitled to an 80% share in gains derived from these shares, amounting to $3.2 million, which is classified as a redeemable non-controlling interest.

 

In October 2014, 414,423 of these treasury shares were sold and 80% of the gain was allocated to Team Internet's minority shareholders.

To date, Matomy has primarily financed its operations from cash flows from operating activities, the private sale of preferred shares to Viola Group (one of Matomy's shareholders), term loans, lines of credit and IPO proceeds.

The line of credit and the term loans are secured by a fixed charge over the unpaid equity of Matomy and its 100%-owned subsidiary Matomy Media Ltd. and a floating charge on all of the assets of Matomy and Matomy Media Ltd. In June 2014, Matomy entered into a further $21.6 million term loan. The term loans are also subject to certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on dividends and the transfer of Ordinary Shares.

In June 2014, Matomy opened a further $4.0 million line of credit, which is secured by a floating charge over all of the assets of Matomy USA Inc. and an unlimited guarantee by Matomy.

As of 31 December 2014, Matomy complied with all of its financial covenants, except for a minor noncompliance with the net income covenant due to the accounting treatment of the one-time exceptional IPO bonuses and accounting treatment of redeemable non-controlling interest, for which it received a written waiver from the lending bank until 31 December 2015.

Financial reporting

This financial information has been prepared under US GAAP principles and in accordance with Matomy's accounting policies. There have been no changes to Matomy's accounting policies during the year ended 31 December 2014.

DEFINITIONS

 

Active customers

Matomy defines an 'active customer' as a customer from whom Matomy has recognised revenues during the previous 12 months. Matomy defines a customer as a legal entity and/or an entity that has a unique invoicing relationship with Matomy, expressly excluding direct with advertising exchanges. Where Matomy has separate invoicing relationships with multiple brands, branches or divisions within an organisation, Matomy typically counts all such entities as a single customer. Matomy also counts a customer who runs campaigns in multiple media channels or geographic regions as a single customer. Matomy considers each advertising agency as a single customer, although such agency may have multiple clients for whom Matomy manages digital marketing campaigns. Matomy believes these criteria best identify customers that are actively using its solutions. Matomy believes that the growth of its active customers is an important indicator of its ability to grow its business overall, and that reporting its active customers based on the previous twelve‑month period is more representative of its business because it takes into account seasonality.

Adjusted gross profit

Adjusted gross profit is a non‑GAAP financial measure that Matomy defines as revenues less direct media costs, which are the direct costs associated with the purchase of digital media. These costs include: payments for digital media based on the revenues Matomy generates from its customers on a revenue‑sharing basis; payments for digital media on a non‑revenue‑sharing basis (CPC or CPM); and serving fees for third‑party platforms.

Matomy believes that adjusted gross profit is a meaningful measure of operating performance because it is frequently used for internal management purposes, indicates the performance of Matomy's solutions in balancing the goals of delivering results to its customers whilst meeting margin objectives, and facilitates a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Matomy's underlying revenues performance.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non‑GAAP financial measure that Matomy defines as net income before taxes on income, financial expenses (income), net, equity losses of affiliated companies, net, depreciation and amortization, share‑based compensation expenses and exceptional items. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure Matomy uses to understand and evaluate its core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve its annual budget, to develop short‑ and long‑term operating plans and to determine bonus payments to management. In particular, Matomy believes that by excluding share‑based compensation expenses, adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure for period‑to‑period comparisons of Matomy's core business.

Adjusted net income

Adjusted net income is a non‑GAAP financial measure that Matomy defines as net income before share based compensation expenses and any non-recurring items.

Going concern

The Group continues to meet its day-to-day working capital and other funding requirements through a combination of long-term funding and cash deposits.

 

After making due enquiry, the Directors fully expect Matomy and its subsidiaries have adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future and therefore adopt the going concern principle.

 

Principal risks

The Directors assess and monitor the key risks of the business on an ongoing basis. The principal risks and uncertainties that could have a material effect on the Group's performance have not changed from those which are set out in detail in the section entitled 'Risk Factors' of the Group's IPO prospectus (the 'Prospectus') dated 9 July 2014. These include, inter alia, the following:

 

· certain internet and technology companies may intentionally or unintentionally adversely affect Matomy's operations, mainly, due to announced or unannounced changes and restrictions by such companies

· the delivery of digital ads and the recording of the performance of digital ads are subject to complex regulations, legal requirements and industry standards

· Matomy relies largely on performance-based revenues

· the digital advertising industry is highly competitive and fragmented and currently experiencing consolidation, resulting in increasing competition

· Matomy is dependent on relationships with certain third parties with significant market positions

· Matomy relies on the continued compatibility of the Matomy Performance Platform with third-party operating systems, software and content distribution channels, as well as newly-acquired systems

· Matomy may be subject to third-party claims brought against it

· Matomy has historically derived the majority of its revenues from customers that use its solutions for display marketing campaigns

· a key part of Matomy's growth strategy relates to acquisitions and the ability to effectively integrate and manage them

· the digital advertising industry, particularly display and virtual currency media channels, remains susceptible to fraud

· Matomy is an Israeli-domiciled company and as such the rights and obligations of shareholders are governed by Israeli law and differ in some respects from English law

Forward-looking statementsCertain statements in this full-year report are forward looking. Although the Group believes that the expectations reflected in these forward looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these expectations will be fulfilled. Because these statements contain risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Directors' responsibility

The Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge that the condensed set of final audited financial statements, which has been prepared in accordance with US GAAP principles, gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the undertakings included in the consolidation as a whole as required by DTR 4.2.4.

The Company's markets are located primarily in the United States and Europe.

 

The Company provides its customers with the ability to achieve pre-defined, measurable and validated results, such as conversions into service, customer acquisitions, software and mobile app installations, qualified leads for value-added services and products and verified video views, with their digital marketing campaigns.

 

The Company manages and optimises its customers' digital marketing campaigns using its proprietary technology, the Matomy Performance Platform, to maximise their accessibility to their target audience. The Matomy Performance Platform records and analyses consumer responses to digital marketing campaigns, allowing the Company to refine the campaigns to optimise their performance. Since the Matomy Performance Platform is integrated or linked with the systems of the Company's digital media suppliers, it can manage digital media demand with greater automation and efficiency.

Total net proceeds from the issuance amounted to $60,913.

 

b. Acquisitions:

 

1. Acquisition of MediaWhiz's assets and liabilities:

 

On 1 January 2013, the Company, through its subsidiary Matomy USA, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Interactive Marketing Holdings, LLC ("MediaWhiz") for a total consideration of $ 10,030 in cash. MediaWhiz is a leading North American digital performance-based marketing company.

 

 

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.)

 

MediaWhiz operates in different media channels, which include: display, search and email. The acquisition was accounted for by the acquisition method and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated according to the fair value of the assets of MediaWhiz acquired and the liabilities assumed. The goodwill is attributed to MediaWhiz's position in the North American digital performance advertising market and the expected synergies between the Company and MediaWhiz. In performing the purchase price allocation, management has considered, inter alia, MediaWhiz's business model and its value drivers, its historical financial performance and estimates of future performance. The fair value of the intangible assets was assessed assuming a market participant acquirer utilizing the income approach. The results of MediaWhiz's operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements commencing 1 January 2013. Acquisition-related costs in the amount of $ 140 were recognised as an expense as incurred.

4. Acquisition of Team Internet AG:

 

On 19 June 2014, the Company acquired an additional 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Team Internet AG ("Team Internet") for a consideration of EUR 19.7 million ($26,843). Following the acquisition, the Company holds 70% of the issued and outstanding shares of Team Internet. Pursuant to the agreement, Team Internet's shareholders have the right to individually transfer all of their remaining shareholding (being 30% in aggregate) to the Company in equal instalments of 10% in each of the periods between 1 September 2016 and 31 August 2017, 1 September 2017 and 31 August 2018 and 1 September 2018 and 31 August 2019 ("the Put Options).  The Put Options' exercise prices are calculated based on Team Internet's preceding 12 months EBITDA multiplied by a certain percentage of Matomy's effective EBITDA multiple of the preceding four quarters (which will be no less than 8). In addition the Company is granted a corresponding call option according to which it may require the remaining shareholders to individually transfer all of their remaining shareholding (being 30% in aggregate) to the Company according to a purchase price with is similar to the calculation of the Put Option.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates ("US GAAP"). The significant accounting policies are applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements on a consistent basis, as follows:

 

a. Principles of consolidation:

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Matomy Media Group Ltd and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Changes in the parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary with no change of control are treated as equity transactions, with any difference between the amount of consideration paid and the change in the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest recognised in equity.

 

 

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Non-controlling interests of subsidiaries represent the non-controlling shareholders' share of the total comprehensive income (loss) of the subsidiaries and fair value of the net assets upon the acquisition of the subsidiaries. The non-controlling interests are presented in equity separately from the equity attributable to the equity holders of the Company.

 

Redeemable non-controlling interests are classified as mezzanine equity, separate from permanent equity, on the consolidated balance sheets and measured at each reporting period at the higher of their redemption amount or the non-controlling interest book value, in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810 "Consolidation" and ASC 480-10-S99-3A, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity".

 

The following table provides the movement in the redeemable non-controlling interests:

b. Use of estimates:

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

On an ongoing basis, the Company's management evaluates estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, fair values of financial instruments, fair values and useful lives of intangible assets, fair values of stock-based awards, deferred taxes and income tax uncertainties, and contingent liabilities. Such estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

 

c. Financial statements in US dollars:

 

The Company's management believes that the US dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which Matomy Media Group and most of its subsidiaries operate.

 

A substantial portion of the revenues and expenses of the Company are generated in US dollars. In addition, financing activities including equity transactions and cash investments are made in dollars, as well as the Company's forecasted budget which is prepared in dollars. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the dollar. Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured into dollars in accordance with ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters". All transaction gains and losses of the remeasured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statements of income as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

 

For subsidiaries whose functional currency has been determined to be their local currency, assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates and statement of income items are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Such translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity.

 

d. Cash and cash equivalents:

 

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition.

 

e. Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts:

 

Accounts receivable are stated at realisable value, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and sales credits. The Company evaluates specific accounts where information indicates the Company's customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. Allowance for doubtful accounts as of 31 December 2014 and 2013 were $ 2,792 and $ 1,216, respectively.

 

 

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

f. Property and equipment, net:

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, at the following annual rates:

 

%

Computers and software

33

Office furniture and equipment

6-10

Electronic equipment

10-15

Leasehold improvements

Over the shorter of related lease period or the life of the asset

 

g. Other intangible assets, net:

 

Other intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships and technology. Customer relationships are amortised over their estimated useful lives in proportion to the economic benefits realised. This accounting policy results in accelerated amortisation of such customer arrangements. Technology costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.

 

Amortisation is calculated using the following annual rates:

 

Weighted average %

Customer relationships

19

Technology

26

 

h. Goodwill:

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Under ASC 350, goodwill is not amortised, but rather is subject to an annual impairment test.

 

Following the acquisition of Team Internet, the Company operates in one operating segment, comprised of two reporting units - Matomy and Domain Monetisation. The Company performs an annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine whether the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value.

 

The company did not recognise any impairment charges related to goodwill during 2014 and 2013.

 

 

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

i. Business combinations:

 

The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations" which requires allocating the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest at fair value as of the acquisition date. The ASC also requires the estimation of fair value of potential contingent consideration at the acquisition date and restructuring and acquisition-related costs to be expensed as incurred.

 

j. Impairment of long-lived assets:

 

The Company's long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment", whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets, the Company makes judgments regarding whether impairment indicators exist based on legal factors, market conditions and operating performances of assets or asset groups. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

 

For the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013 no impairment indicators were identified.

 

k. Investments in affiliated companies:

 

Investments in companies in which the Company holds less than 20%, and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over their operating and financial policies, are stated at cost. Investments in companies in which the Company holds more than 20% (and less than 50%) or has the ability to exercise significant influence over their operating and financial policies are measured using the equity method.

 

The Company's investments in affiliated companies are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. For the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred impairment losses in the amount of $ 541 and $ 0, respectively.

l. Severance pay:

 

Effective September 2007, the Company's agreements with employees in Israel are generally in accordance with section 14 of the Severance Pay Law - 1963 which provide that the Company's contributions to severance pay fund shall cover its entire severance obligation with respect to period of employment subsequent to September 2007. Upon termination, the release of the contributed amounts from the fund to the employee shall relieve the Company from any further severance obligation and no additional payments shall be made by the Company to the employee. As a result, the related obligation and amounts deposited on behalf of such obligation are not stated on the balance sheet, as the Company is legally released from severance obligation to employees once the amounts have been deposited, and the Company has no further legal ownership on the amounts deposited.

 

The Company's liability for severance pay for periods prior to September 2007 is calculated pursuant to Israeli severance pay law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the balance sheet date. The Company recorded as expenses the increase in the severance liability, net of earnings (losses) from the related investment fund. Employees were entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment, or a portion thereof. Until 1 September 2007, the Company's liability was partially funded by monthly payments deposited with insurers; any unfunded amounts are covered by a provision established by the Company.

 

The carrying value of the deposited funds for the Company's employees' severance pay for employment periods prior to September 2007 include profits and losses accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfilment of the obligation pursuant to Israeli severance pay law or labour agreements.

 

Severance expenses during the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013 were $ 92 and $ 14, respectively.

 

m. Revenue recognition:

 

The Company provides digital performance-based marketing services to optimise and deliver certain pre-defined, measureable and validated results across eight media channels display, video, search, social, virtual currency, mobile, email and domain monetisation, for multiple industry verticals, such as games and entertainment, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, finance and education, and on a wide variety of devices and operating systems.

 

The Company generates revenues only when its customers' ad campaigns achieve certain predefined measurable and validated results on a per-action basis such as cost-per-acquisition ("CPA"), cost-per-sale ("CPS"), cost-per-lead ("CPL"), cost-per-download ("CPD"), incentivised cost-per-view ("CPV"), cost-per-install ("CPI") and pay per call ("PPC").

 

 

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

The Company recognises revenue when all four of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; service has been provided; customer fees are fixed or determinable; and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue arrangements are evidenced by fully executed terms and conditions as part of an insertion order, with an advertiser or an advertising agency.

 

The determination of whether revenues should be reported on a gross or net basis is based on an assessment of whether the Company is acting as the principal or an agent in the transaction. In determining whether the Company acts as the principal or an agent, the Company follows the accounting guidance for principal-agent considerations. While none of the factors identified in this guidance is individually considered presumptive or determinative, the Company has determined it is the primary obligor in all its advertising arrangements because the Company is responsible for (i) identifying and contracting with its advertisers, (ii) establishing the selling prices of the advertisements sold, (iii) performing all billing and collection activities, (iv) performing the service, and (v) take on credit risk in the transaction. Therefore the Company acts as the principal in these arrangements and reports revenue earned and costs incurred on a gross basis.

 

The Company records deferred revenues for unearned amounts received from customers for services that were not recognised as revenues.

 

n. Comprehensive income:

 

The Company accounts for comprehensive income in accordance with ASC No. 220, "Comprehensive Income". Comprehensive income generally represents all changes in shareholders' equity during the period except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to, shareholders. The Company's items of other comprehensive income relate to foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

The Company implements ASU No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income", which requires to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") by component. In addition, the Company is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, the Company is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts.

 

o. Research and development costs:

 

Research and development costs are generally charged to the statements of income as incurred. ASC 985-20, "Software- Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed", requires capitalisation of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility.

 

 

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

Costs incurred by the Company between technological feasibility and the point at which the products are ready for general release, have to date been insignificant. Therefore, all research and development costs are expensed as incurred, except as described below.

 

Research and development costs of the domain monetisation technology, are capitalised in accordance with conditions set out for internal-use software. Therefore, costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred. Cost incurred for the website application and infrastructure development stage are capitalised after conceptual formulation, design and testing of software project alternatives have all been completed. Costs incurred for the content development stage and the cost of operating stage are also expensed as incurred. Capitalised technology is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.

 

p. Accounting for stock-based compensation:

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation", which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors.

 

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognised as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's statements of income.

 

The Company recognises compensation expenses for the value of its awards, which have graded vesting, based on the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period of each of the awards.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted to its employees and directors using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the fair value of its ordinary shares, the expected stock price volatility, expected option term, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yield, which are estimated as follows:

· Volatility - as of 31 December 2014, the Company's ordinary shares had not been publicly traded for long enough to accurately evaluate volatility, and therefore the volatility assumption is based on the volatilities of other publicly-traded companies that are comparable to the Company, as in previous periods.

· Expected option term - the expected term of the options represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding and is based on the simplified method, which is the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term of the option.

· Risk-free interest - the risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the yield from zero-coupon US government bonds appropriate for the expected term of the Company's employee stock options.

 

 

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

· Dividend yield - the Company estimates its dividend yield based on historical pattern, however the Company currently intends to invest funds in business development and not to distribute dividends.

 

The fair value of the Company's stock options granted to employees and directors for the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013 was estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:

 

Year ended

31 December

2014

q. Income taxes:

 

The Company is subject to income taxes in Israel, the United States and numerous other jurisdictions. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes". This topic prescribes the use of the assets and liabilities method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realised. In such determination, the Company considers future reversal of existing temporary differences, future taxable income, tax planning strategies and other available evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance.

 

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or non-current based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting, or according to the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences if not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting.

 

The Company implements a two-step approach to recognise and measure uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% (on a cumulative basis) likely to be realised upon ultimate settlement. The Company classifies interest incurred payable to tax authorities as tax expenses.

 

 

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

r. Concentrations of credit risks:

 

Financial instruments that could potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables.

 

Cash and cash equivalents are managed in major banks in Israel, the United States, Mexico, Spain, Germany, Austria, Cyprus and the United Kingdom. 

 

The Company's trade receivables are derived from sales to customers located mainly in Europe and the United States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and a specific allowance for doubtful accounts is provided.

 

s. Derivative instruments:

 

The Company uses derivative instruments to protect against foreign currency fluctuations and to hedge against the risk of overall changes in future cash flow from payments of payroll and related expenses denominated in new Israeli shekels.

 

These instruments were not designated as cash flow hedges as defined by ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging", and therefore the Company recognises the changes in fair value of these instruments in the statements of income as financial income or expense, as incurred.

 

The Company had forward and options contracts that did not meet the requirement for hedge accounting.

 

The following table presents the notional amount of derivative instruments:

The net gains (losses) recognised in "financial income, net" during the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013 were $ (1,555) and $ 497, respectively.

 

t. Fair value of financial instruments:

 

The Company applies ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

 

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximises the use of observable inputs and minimises the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

Foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments.

 

u. Basic and diluted earnings per share:

 

Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year, plus dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the year, in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share".

 

The total weighted average number of shares related to the outstanding options excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share, since they would have an anti-dilutive effect, was 1,053,983 and 778,617 for the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

v. Treasury shares:

 

The Company repurchases its ordinary shares in limited cases from its employees and holds such shares as treasury shares. The Company presents the cost of repurchasing treasury stock as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

 

Treasury shares are also reissued from time to time and these transactions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-30, whereby gains are credited to additional paid-in capital and losses are charged to additional paid-in capital to the extent that previous net gains are included therein; otherwise to retained earnings.

 

 

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

w. Recently issued accounting standards:

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued an Accounting Standard Update, or ASU, on revenue from contracts with customers, which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. This ASU, which will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017, allows for either full or modified retrospective methods of adoption and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption, as well as the effect that adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

c. Issuance of shares and options to investors:

 

As of 31 December 2014, there are 1,239,735 fully vested outstanding warrants with exercise price of $ 1.11 which were granted to investors in the past, and are exercisable through August 2017.

 

d. Options issued to employees and directors:

 

In 2006, the Company adopted stock incentive plan that was amended and restated in December 2012 ("the 2006 Plan"). In 2012, the Company adopted a new stock incentive plan ("the 2012 Plan") and ceased issuing stock options under the 2006 Plan.

 

Under the 2012 Plan, options may be granted to employees, directors, officers and consultants of the Company. The Company reserved for issuance 32,912,170 Ordinary shares. Each option granted under the 2006 Plan or 2012 Plan is fully exercisable between 0 to 4 years and expires in between 7 to 10 years from the date of grant. The 2006 Plan and the 2012 Plan comply with section 102 of Israel's Income Tax Ordinance. In 2012, the Company adopted a sub-plan in the United States, which sets out the terms of grants and related taxes for employees in the United States. On 3 July 2014 the 2012 Plan was updated by resolution of the Board and the Shareholders, mainly, as follows: (i) the aggregate number of shares for issuance under the Plan will not exceed 10% of the issued share capital over a 10 year period; (ii) the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on the date of the grant; and (iii) setting different minimum vesting periods according to seniority, according to which the senior management has longer vesting periods than the other employees.

 

Any options, which are forfeited or not exercised before expiration, become available for future grants.

 

As of 31 December 2014, there were 295,083 options available for future grants under the plan.

NOTE 13:- TAXES ON INCOME

 

a. Israeli taxation:

 

1. Corporate tax rates in Israel:

 

Taxable income of Israeli companies is subject to tax at the rate of 25% in 2013, and 26.5% in 2014 and afterwards.

 

2. Tax benefits under the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 ("the Law"):

 

The Company obtained a ruling from the Israeli tax authorities, under which, Matomy Media Group received a "Preferred Enterprise" status, which provides certain benefits, including reduced tax rates. Income not eligible for Preferred Enterprise benefits is taxed at a regular rate. The tax rates applicable for preferred enterprise income are 12.5% in 2013 and 16% in 2014 and thereafter.

 

 

NOTE 13:- TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)

 

The entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon the Company's fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the Law and regulations published thereunder. Should the Company fail to meet such requirements in the future, income attributable to its  Preferred Enterprise program could be subject to the statutory Israeli corporate tax rate and the Company could be required to refund a portion of the tax benefits already received, with respect to such programs. As of 31 December 2014, management believes that the Company is in compliance with all the conditions required by the Law.

 

In May 2013, pursuant to a temporary tax relief, the Company elected to pay $ 563 on account of reduced corporate tax rate with respect to undistributed exempt Privileged income, accumulated up until 31 December 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the temporary tax relief, the Company must make certain qualified investments in Israel over the five years period commencing 2013.

 

As of 31 December 2014, the Company had $ 5,819 of tax-exempt income attributable to its Privileged Enterprise program resulting from 2012. The Company does not intend to distribute any amounts of its undistributed tax-exempt income as dividends as it intends to reinvest its tax-exempt income within the Company. Accordingly, no deferred income taxes have been provided on income attributable to the Company's Privileged Enterprise programs as the undistributed tax-exempt income is essentially permanent in duration. If such tax exempt income is distributed, it would be taxed at the reduced corporate tax rate applicable to such profits (25%) and an income tax liability of approximately $ 1,455 would be incurred as of 31 December 2014.

 

b. Income taxes on non-Israeli subsidiaries:

 

Non-Israeli subsidiaries are taxed according to the tax laws in their respective country of residence. Neither Israeli income taxes, foreign withholding taxes nor deferred income taxes were provided in relation to undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. This is because the Company has the intent and ability to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in the foreign subsidiaries and therefore those earnings are continually redeployed in those jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2014, the amount of undistributed earnings of non-Israeli subsidiaries, which is considered indefinitely reinvested, was $3,382 with a corresponding unrecognized deferred tax liability of $896.

 

c. Deferred tax assets and liabilities:

 

Deferred taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts recorded for tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
