ELTEK uses EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is provided to investors to complement results provided in accordance with GAAP, as management believes the measure helps illustrate underlying operating trends in the Company's business and uses the measure to establish internal budgets and goals, manage the business and evaluate performance. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation between the company's results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statement of Operations

Management Comments:

Arieh Reichart, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eltek commented: "In the fourth quarter of 2012 we returned to full production as we reported with the release of results for the third quarter. We managed to maintain the level of revenues in this quarter as in the comparable period in 2011 in spite of the changing market conditions. Excluding the goodwill write-off, Eltek's net income in the fourth quarter of 2012 exceeded its net income in the fourth quarter of 2011. Our main challenge is to continue the development of our production lines and acquire new equipment. We continue our discussions with the banks to obtain additional credit facilities for such purpose."

"I am highly encouraged by the increase in our sales to the US market in 2012. Such increase was achieved as a result of our customers' recognition of the reliability and the high quality of our products, which are extremely essential in the medical and defense sectors," Mr. Reichart concluded.

Amnon Shemer, CFO of Eltek, added: "Following an evaluation performed for our investment in Kubatronik, we determined that the value of our investment in Kubatronik decreased and that as a result, goodwill in the amount of $481,000 relating to such investment had been impaired. As a result, for the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $481,000. In addition, the estimated net value of our liability attributable to the put option that the owner of 21% interest in Kubatronik increased by $135,000, thus the total impact of the devaluation of our investment in Kubatronik on our net income was $616,000 in 2012."
