On Track Innovations Ltd.: erhält Folgeauftrag

Die Ergebnisse bzw. der Halbjahresbericht von OTI werden am kommenden Montag veröffentlicht.

Es kam keine Umsatzwarnung, womit ich ca. 10 Mio. für das 2.Quartal erwarte. Im gegenwärtigen Kurs dürften die zu erwartenden Verluste bereits eingerechnet sein.

Aber vielleicht werden wir einmal positiv überrascht.

Gruß an Alle

würde mich wundern, wenn wir mal positiv überrascht würden, aber schauen
wir wieder mal.....

Meine Erwartung von 3 euro wurde knapp verfehlt, aber das Jahr ist ja noch nicht
um.

results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP
information in evaluating and operating the business and as such deemed it important to provide
all this information to investors.



 

Das einzige was bei OTI wächst sind die Verluste.
Und 10 Mios Quartalsumsatz sind wohl eher für die Portokasse bei einem seit mehr als 10 Jahren weltweit operierenden Unternehmen.

Und das schlimmste ist: der CEO ist noch zufrieden mit dem vernichtenden Zahlenwerk.  

So lässt sich der Halbjahresbericht kurz zusammenfassen. Leider kommen dazu keine großen Erklärungen, außer:

“The first half revenues are in accordance with our initial expectations,” said Oded Bashan,
Chairman and CEO of OTI.” As we stated last quarter, we are expecting a stronger second half,
with most of the growth realized towards the end of 2007”.

Die Verlustausweitung bei steigendem Umsatz hat man also erwartet!?! Eine Erklärung bleibt wie gewohnt aus. Falls das so bleibt und nichts dagegen unternommen wird, werden weit mehr als 50 Mio.$ Umsatz nötig sein, um in die Gewinnzohne zu kommmen.

Ich würde jetzt langsam einmal Restrukturierungsmaßnahmen erwarten !!!

Im letzten Jahr hatte man ab dem 3.Quartal einen enormen Umsatzsprung angekündigt. Das wir nun auf das 4.Quartal verschoben. Ob damit das Umsatzziel von 48 Mio.$ für 2007 erreicht wird?

Ich gehe nun davon aus, dass wir unsere Erfolgserwartungen auf 2008/2009 verschieben können.

Gruß
März  

Ein Unternehmen mit 40 bis 50 Mio.$ Umsatz hat schon eine beachtliche Größe erreicht. Es gibt nicht viele Firmen, die auf dem Gebiet der kontaktlosen Karten mehr Umsatz tätigen.

OTI ist fertigungstechnisch gut aufgestellt: Israel, USA und China.

Und aufpassen: Der Umsatz wird größtenteils nur mit anlaufenden Serien und Projekten im Versuchsstadium erziehlt. Die Fertigung muss erst ausgelastet werden. Die Großserien werden in den Folgejahren kommmen.

Ich bleibe daher investiert.

Gruß
März  

Der Kurs ist seit dem Quartalsbericht nicht weiter gefallen. Ich denke, wir haben damit den Boden erreicht.

Hat jemand Infos von der conference call von gestern?  

Gemäß Mitteilung eines Teilnehmers (US-Board) an der Conference Call erwartet der Vorstand von OTI, ab dem 4.Quartal dieses Jahres in die Gewinnzohne zu kommen.

Des Weiteren erwartet man noch immmer, das Umsatzziel von 48 bis 50 Mio.$ für 2007 zu erreichen. Das wären dann fast 30 Mio.$ im 2.Halbjahr!  

Leider konnte ich den Conference Call nicht beiwohnen.

Irgendwie kann ich das alles kaum glauben, woher sollen die 30Mio kommen,
hab ich was verschlafen???

Danke jedenfalls März.

 

Ich zitiere lediglich einen Teilnehmer des CCs, welcher im Übrigen eine gute Zusammenfassung (werde die demnächst übersetzen)der gegenwärtigen Lage gebracht hat.

Verglichen mit den Planzahlen für 2007 des Vorstandes vom Anfang dieses Jahres bleibt man demzufolge offensichtlich beim Umsatzziel von annähernd 50 Mio.$ bzw. einem Plus von 20 bis 25%. Im letzten Quartalsbericht hat man allerdings den erwarteten großen Anstieg vom 3. auf das 4.Quartal ´07 verschoben. Ende August sollte man eigentlich genauer wissen, wie die Zahlen bis zum Ende des Jahres aussehen werden. Falls das stimmmt, könnte 2008 ein gutes Jahr werden. Das könnte nämlich bedeuten, dass die Großprojekte anlaufen, auf die wir alle warten.

Mehr Umsatz bedeuten eine bessere Auslastung der Fertigung. Damit kommmt man irgendwann in die Gewinnzohne. Meine früheren Abschätzungen (Gewinnne ab 50 Mio.$ Umsatz, aus Ableitungen des Verlaufes Umsatz/Verluste)waren leider nicht richtig. Der Grund dürfte der Preisverfall infolge Konkurrenzsituation sein. Ich wage gegenwärtig keine neue Abschätzung.

heißt direkt übersetzt "hypermodern", bzw. auf dem neuesten Stand der Technik.

Sogar nach dem Qualitäts-Zertifikat EN 16949, dem derzeit höchsten Standart. Respekt!

Frage, da bisher wie gewohnt ohne offiziellen Infos:  Fertigung in Deutschland !? Das macht (kostenseitig) nur Sinn, wenn es auch Großkunden in Deutschland, zumindest aber in Europa gibt.

Welche sind das? Etwa Karten und Lesegeräte für Krankenversicherungen? MasterCard in Europa? Pässe/Reisepässe?

Ich glaube, da kommt in allernächster Zukunft eine große Meldung. Ich freue mich schon!

März  

Zumindest wissen wir nun, woher sehr wahrscheinlich die enormen Verluste der letzten beiden Quartale herkommen: Eine neue Fabrik zu erstellen, kostet schon was.  

Bad Durrheim oder Bad Dürrheim. Schätze eher, dass es Bad Dürrheim ist. Weiß jemand, wo das liegt? An der A81 bei Villingen-Schwenningen? Da fahre ich demnächst entlang.

Bitte um Infos.

Intercard weiht neuen Bau ein

Nach zweijähriger Bauzeit weiht Intercard Systemelectronic in Biesingen sein neues Firmengebäude an der Mühlenstraße ein. Das Unternehmen, das seit 25 Jahren elektronische Bauteile und Geräte produziert, hat seine Anfänge im kleinsten Bad Dürrheimer Stadtteil. Mit der Verdoppelung der Produktionsfläche auf 2000 Quadratmeter wurde der Betrieb zugleich auf neue Erfordernisse und Kundenfelder ausgerichtet.

Bad Dürrheim - "Wir wollen wachsen", begründet Heinz Kuchenbecker, seit 1996 Geschäftsführer bei Intercard Systemelectronic, die Millioneninvestitionen am bisherigen Standort. Kuchenbecker verantwortet den Bereich Produktion, Technik und Einkauf, während sein Geschäftsführer-Kollege Shmuel Shamir für Controlling und Finanzen zuständig ist. 2005 fiel die Entscheidung, am Standort Biesingen zu bleiben und dort zu erweitern. Die Erweiterung wurde nötig, weil Intercard Systemelectronic ab diesem Zeitpunkt als selbständiges Unternehmen operiert, zuvor hatten Intercard Kartensystem in Schwenningen und Intercard Systemelectronic Verwaltung und Entwicklung gemeinsam betrieben, Biesingen hatte sich dabei auf die Produktion konzentriert. "Eine Erweiterung war nötig, um die gesamten Firmenbereiche hier unterzubringen", so Kuchenbecker, der das Unternehmen seit Beginn kennt.

Auch jetzt sehe man sich vorrangig als Produktionsunternehmen, wobei man keine eigenen Produkte herstellt, sondern nach Kundenwunsch Produkte entwickelt und bis zur Serienreife führt. "Unsere Kunden sitzen vorwiegend in Süddeutschland und der Schweiz. Sie kommen aus den Branchen Büro- und Datentechnik, Gebäude- und Sicherheitstechnik, Automotive, Maschinenbau, Mess- und Regeltechnik, Umwelttechnik und Medizintechnik." Abgesehen davon produziert man für den Mutterkonzern Oti, beispielsweise Kreditkarten-Lesegeräte. Diese Produkte werden weltweit bis nach China und Amerika verkauft.

Mit der Erweiterung wurden nicht nur die Betriebsabläufe effektiver gestaltet und den neuesten Sicherheitsanforderungen für die sensible Elektronikverarbeitung angepasst, es wurde auch weiter automatisiert und modernisiert. So gibt es jetzt zwei Lötlinien, an denen die Leiterplatten bestückt werden - eine an der wie bisher üblich mit Blei gearbeitet wird, und eine bleifreie. "Der Umweltgedanke hat auch unser Arbeitsgebiet erreicht, die Produkte sollen kein Blei mehr enthalten." Auf diese Entwicklung hat man reagiert. Zugleich ist aber das bisherige Verfahren notwendig, weil es mit den neuen bleifreien Legierungen noch keine Langzeiterfahrung gibt. Deshalb werden sie in so sensiblen Bereichen wie Medizintechnik oder Automobil noch nicht eingesetzt.

Die Erweiterungs- und Neubauarbeiten verlangten eine exakte Planung, denn es musste gewährleistet sein, dass der Betrieb weitgehend störungsfrei weiter laufen konnte. Deshalb wurde in mehreren Abschnitten gebaut. Zuerst wurde auf der angrenzenden Wiese die neue Produktionshalle mit 1000 Quadratmetern gebaut, im Juli vor einem Jahr wurde sie bezogen. Sie war direkt an die alte Halle angebaut, damit die Produktion stückweise verlagert werden konnte. Dann wurde der Wareneingang verlagert, damit vorne am bisherigen Haupteingang Warenein- und -ausgang erstellt werden konnten. "So war der Mittelbereich frei und die Montagehalle konnte gebaut werden, die die Verbindung von der neuen Halle zum Wareneingang und zur Verwaltung bildet", beschreibt Heinz Kuchenbecker den Ablauf. Eine schicke Kantine mit Terrasse gibt es auch. Der neue Verwaltungstrakt mit dem Haupteingang liegt jetzt am Sahlenbühlweg. Weitere Büros sind auf einer Galerie platziert, von der aus der Blick durch dicke Scheiben hinunter auf die Produktionshalle fällt. Jetzt wird noch der Außenbereich angelegt. "Das waren für uns alle zwei schwere Jahre", gibt der Geschäftsführer zu.

Knapp 60 Festangestellte Mitarbeiter hat das Unternehmen jetzt beschäftigt, dazu kommen Zeitarbeitskräfte, wenn Spitzen abgefangen werden müssen. Und die Mitarbeiter sind, neben der Nähe zu den Kunden, ein wichtiger Grund für den Standort Biesingen: "Wir hatten in der Vergangenheit hier nie Schwierigkeiten, gute, flexible Mitarbeiter zu finden." Sie kommen aus der Region, viele von ihnen aus der nahen Umgebung wie Sunthausen, Bad Dürrheim, Donaueschingen oder Villingen.

Mit einem Tag der offenen Tür präsentiert sich das Unternehmen am Samstag, 8. September. Ab 10.30 Uhr gibt es ein Rahmenprogramm mit Kinderunterhaltung und von 11 bis 15 Uhr Betriebsführungen durch den Neubau.

Bei meiner Geschäftsreise letzter Woche habe ich mir die Firma InterCard von außen angesehen. Ca. 60 MA fertigen insbesondere bestückte Leiterplatten im Lohnauftrag. D.h. es wird nicht nur für OTI gefertigt, bzw. nur zum geringen Teil. Ein Blick vom Empfang aus in das Gebäude zeigte mir, dass es sich um eine sehr moderne Fertigung handelt, welche auf mich einen guten Eindruck hinterlassen hat.

Da ich unangemeldet kam, wurde mir ein Termin nach telefonischer Vereinbarung angeboten. Dies werde ich mit Sicherheit wahrnehmen, sobald ich wieder im Raum Villingen-Schwenningen bin.

Zur Erinnerung:
OTI to provide USA Technologies next generation contactless payment readers
Friday, October 27 2006
On Track Innovations says its contactless card readers will be installed by the end of the year on 10,000 USA Technologies-produced vending machines, enabling them to accept contactless cards from major credit card providers, including MasterCard, Visa, and American Express.


--------------------------------------------------

FORT LEE, N.J.--On Track Innovations Ltd, a global leader in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions for homeland security, payments, petroleum payments and other applications, announced that USA Technologies, a leader in the networking of wireless non-cash transactions for financial/network services and energy management, has selected OTI to provide its next generation contactless reader solution to be integrated into USA Technologies' Generation Six (G6) e-Port cashless transaction solution, developed specifically to accept contactless payments for vending machines. Initial orders are for 10,000 readers with initial deliveries commencing before the end of the year.

The integrated solution is built to support the growing U.S. contactless payment market. As previously reported by USA Technologies, MasterCard International has teamed with The Philadelphia Coca-Cola Bottling Company and USA Technologies to enable 1,000 Coca-Cola vending machines with the e-port cashless transaction solution.

USA Technologies also announced that Bank of America has become the first bank to target the cashless vending market. In its evaluation, the bank is also using G6 cashless payment technology developed to accept all forms of payment including credit cards, fobs, contactless cards or other payment devices, in vending machines.

With MasterCard PayPass, ExpressPay from American Express and Visa contactless, the associations have initially focused on drug stores, quick service restaurants, movie theaters and other merchants where transactions are usually under $25.

Now the 40 billion dollar U.S. vending industry with more than 8 million vending machines, is beginning to expand the payment opportunities for customers who appreciate speed and convenience. With the new reader consumers no longer need to fumble for cash and coins. To use this technology, consumers simply tap their contactless-enabled card or device on the vending machine's e-Port payment terminal. Within seconds, the terminal will flash a light and produce a tone signaling the transaction is complete.

George Jensen, Chairman and CEO, of USA Technologies said, "We are exceptionally pleased with the OTI reader for our G6 e-Port solution. And for the added value it brings our customers. The new product puts USA Technologies in the perfect position to further our relationships with vending operators, soft drink bottlers, credit card companies and banks."

Oded Bashan, President & CEO, OTI, stated, "the expansion to complementary markets of the traditional small contactless payments markets is a strong sign of confidence that the major financial institutions are pushing forward with their contactless programs. The vending machines market that relies today almost exclusively on cash can now enjoy the convenience and speed contactless payments can offer."

Fantasy Entertainment Installs USA Technologies' Cashless Payment Technology in 1,000 Photo Kiosks Nationwide
Thursday September 27, 9:00 am ET  
Global Photo Kiosk Company Innovates with USA Technologies' e-Port(R) Solution to Improve Operational Efficiency and Consumer Convenience


MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--USA Technologies (NASDAQ:USAT - News) announced today that Fantasy Entertainment, a leading supplier of photo and imaging kiosks, has equipped 1,000 of its self-service photo booths nationwide with e-Port cashless payment technology.

"The results of giving our customers the ability to use credit and debit cards are so impressive that we hope to expand the e-Port deployment to 2,000 photo booths within the next 18 months," said Dale Valvo, President, Fantasy Entertainment.

Photo booths equipped with USA Technologies' e-Port cashless solution allow consumers to use credit and debit cards when making payments, whether with traditional magnetic swipe or "tap and go" contactless cards.

"USA Technologies is excited to be working with Fantasy Entertainment and be among the first to bring cashless payment technology to the multi-billion dollar global kiosk market," said George R. Jensen, Chairman and CEO, USA Technologies. "The kiosk market in North America is expected to grow 44 percent in 2009 to more than 1,150,000 self-service machines."

Photo booths already account for more than 20 percent of all currently installed kiosks. Summit Research estimates there will be nearly 1.7 million kiosks worldwide by 2009.

Fantasy Entertainment chose the e-Port cashless solution for its ease of use, speed and convenience, giving consumers using the photo booths a more satisfying purchasing experience.

"As long as consumers can use 'plastic,' they don't need to bother with carrying cash. We have already noticed that many customers are making multiple purchases with their credit and debit cards, sometimes as many as five purchases," said Mr. Valvo.

USA Technologies' e-Port also gives Fantasy Entertainment the ability to monitor remotely photo booth performance and data 24x7.

"The e-Port ultimately will carry what we call our health and welfare data. Today, we stay in touch with our booths on 24x7 basis via a two way pager and proprietary software," said Mr. Valvo. "If there is a problem, the booth automatically notifies our customer service center and technicians of both type and extent of the problem. In the future, we will be utilizing the e-Port's communication network to transmit that data to improve our operational efficiency, reduce our monthly operating costs, and enhance kiosk security."

Fantasy Entertainment is among the first to utilize USA Technologies' recently announced e-Port Connect® service, which supports the company's e-Port cashless transaction product line, and web-based terminal reporting system, USALive®.

The e-Port Connect service enables merchants to remotely manage and mobilize on-line and by wireless their unattended cashless points-of-sale locations, providing merchant services, networking and communication services, technical support and consumer help desk, and electronic transfer of funds.

Fantasy Entertainment's 3,000 self-service kiosks are located in shopping and entertainment centers, malls, theme parks, zoos, aquariums, hotels and resorts nationwide. They include high-tech interactive photo systems where consumers can reproduce their image in multi categories, create artist quality sketches of portraits and photo strips on easily separated perforated sheets.

"USA Technologies' relationship with Fantasy Entertainment is further evidence of our product line's responsiveness to emerging cashless trends, and in driving new business, productivity and efficiency in the marketplace," said Mr. Jensen.

e-Port is already activating and operating a growing self-service market from vending machines and kiosks to a variety of point-of-sale terminals, dispensing everything from traditional beverages and snacks, to electronics, stationary, phone cards, CDs, videos, food items, t-shirts and document shredding services.

About Fantasy Entertainment

Fantasy Entertainment(SM) headquartered in Hudson, NH is the largest owner operator of electronic self-service photo imaging systems in North America. Founded in 1995, the privately held company owns and operates 3,000 entertainment photo imaging kiosks such as Foto Fun Strips, Portrait Studio®, Portrait to Anywhere® and Foto Cube®.

keine Zahlen wie immer, aber das sind wir ja schon gewöhnt...  

Wir können aber festhalten, dass OTI weltweit bei sehr vielen Projekten bzw. den meisten Projekten mit Aufträgen dabei ist. Aus anfänglich 10.000 Geräten werden z.B. 100.000 Geräte oder mehr pro Projekt, sobald der Serienbedarf anläuft. Für UK dürften wir wohl noch ein Jahr oder mehr warten müssen. Andere Vorhaben dürften schon weiter sein.

Freunde, ich bin mir sicher, das wird!!!
