The solid year-over-year revenue growth in the quarter came from both our product lines and from both new license revenues as well as maintenance revenues, resulting in 27% year-over-year increase in operating profit due to the strong operating leverage in our business model."
"Our product rollout for 2014 is progressing as planned. CimatronE version 12 was released in Q3 to growing acclaim for its many new capabilities. The next milestone is the GibbsCAM 2015 release towards the end of the year. This version incorporates the revolutionary UKM (Universal Kinematic Machine) technology, enabling users to program and simulate virtually any machine with extreme accuracy. UKM was demonstrated at IMTS 2014, and received extremely positive feedback. With strong and accelerating financial performance, combined with promising version releases for our two product lines, we remain optimistic about the future of the company," concluded Mr. Haran.
