Management Commentary
"The first quarter of 2018 was highlighted by our strong operational execution and growth across several of our business units," said Shlomi Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of OTI. "This is evidenced by our first quarter revenue growth of 46% and second quarter in a row of positive adjusted EBITDA results as move towards profitability.
"Our continued penetration of public transit markets in Poland and cashless readers in several key global markets, such as Japan and North America, are very promising, while our growing recurring revenue base -- which accounted for 24% of revenues in the first quarter -- provides us with predictable, high-margin cash flow. In addition, we have several groundbreaking initiatives -- such as our cryptocurrency payment solution for automated machines and the micropayment market -- which to the best of our knowledge is the first and only of its kind available on the market today.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains certain non-GAAP measures, namely, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, or adjusted earnings from continuing operations before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations represents earnings before interest or financing expenses, income tax, depreciation and amortization, and further eliminates the effect of stock based compensation expense, patent litigation and maintenance expenses and other expenses. OTI believes that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations should be considered in evaluating the Company's operations since it provides a clearer indication of the Company's operating results. This measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for the U.S. GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the U.S. GAAP results in the tables below.
