“Although 2005 was a very difficult year for Magic, we have begun implementing the changes required to turn the business around in 2006,” stated, David Assia, Chairman and acting CEO of Magic Software Enterprises. “Throughout the fourth quarter, we have accelerated our channel building efforts, in particular we saw increasing acceptance and successes within the SAP partner community.”
Assia continued, “the company is continuing to invest heavily in its future growth engine – iBOLT, on account of current profitability and in anticipation of its future growth.
“In the third quarter of 2005, we began a process of widespread organizational changeThis culminated in an unprecedented reorganization of our business units with the goal of becoming a more product focused company. We have formed two product divisions with direct P&L responsibility, one for iBOLT and one for eDeveloper, accompanied by a reduction in our regional infrastructure. In connection to this process, we have incurred a one-time expense of $342,000. Last quarter, we announced the nomination of a Amit Ben Zvi as the new Vice President for iBOLT. Regev Yativ, the Managing Director of EMEA will be reassigned to manage the eDeveloper Division as of July 1, 2006, at which point the post of Managing Director EMEA will be eliminated. As part of this reorganization we have also recently appointed Mr. Yohai Shaked as our new VP ROW, which includes Magic Software Japan.” Assia concluded.
