For Immediate Release

Pointer Telocation Announces Record High Revenues for 2006:
Increase of 13.4% to $41.9 million Y/Y

  Operating Income of $4.9 million, compared to $1 million in 2005
  Revenues from international operations in 2006 - up 21%
  First net annual income from Continuing Operations of $1.2 million

Givatayim, Israel - March 6th, 2007. Pointer Telocation Ltd. (Nasdaq Capital Markets: PNTR), a leading provider of services to the insurance and automotive industries including road-side assistance, fleet management and stolen vehicle retrieval services in Israel, Argentina and Mexico, reported its financial results for 2006.

In 2006 Pointer Telocation continued to reinforce its business and financial position, recording an increase in annual growth of 13.4% resulting from an improvement in both its domestic and international revenues. Pointer furthermore broadened its service offerings with the launch of its cellular based services. Net income was negatively affected by the recording of a minority interest for the first time.

Financial Highlights:

Revenues: Pointer’s annual revenues for 2006 increased 13.4% to $41.9 million compared to $37.0 million, in 2005. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2006 increased 10.7% to $10.9 million, compared with $9.9 million in the same period of 2005.

Pointer’s revenues from its international operations increased 21% in 2006 as compared to 2005 and 10% in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. The increase in total revenues in 2006 as compared to 2005 is also attributable to the fact that revenues in 2005 included only ten months of revenues deriving from the acquisition of the road-side assistance and towing business of Shagrir Towing Services completed on February 28, 2005.

Gross Profit: In 2006, gross profit increased 13.7% to $15.5 million as compared to $13.7 million in 2005. For the fourth quarter of 2006, gross profit increased by 14.7% to $4.2 million as compared to $3.6 million in the same period in 2005. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit was 37.0% and 38.1%, in 2006 and the fourth quarter of 2006, respectively, as compared to 36.9% and 36.8% in the comparable periods in 2005.

Operating Income: Pointer recorded a significant increase in operating income to $4.9 million in 2006, compared to $1.0 million for 2005. In the fourth quarter of 2006 Pointer recorded $0.8 million in operating income, compared to $0.77 million for the comparable period of 2005. The increase in operating income in 2006 includes one time net income of $1.3 million associated with an agreement signed with a Latin American customer, offset by a $372 thousand impairment of long-lived assets. In our subsidiary in Israel operating income was negatively affected by one time charges related to SG & A.

Minority Interest: As noted in Pointer’s previous announcement of its financial results,, during the fourth quarter Pointer recorded a minority interest in the Statement of Operations of its Israeli subsidiary Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems as results based on actual holdings which is 56.6%. Minority interest recorded in 2006 was $1.04 million.

Profit from continuing operations: First ever net annual income from continuing operations (net income) of $1.2 million that derived from the Company’s activities (in 2003 the Company recorded net income due to a one time gain from a discontinued operation).



Net Profit: Pointer improved its bottom-line results recording a net profit of $1.2 million or $0.39 per share in 2006, as compared to a net loss of $2.7 million or $(1.17) per share in 2005. For the fourth quarter of 2006, Pointer recorded a net income of $34 thousand as compared to a net loss of $18 thousand in the comparable period of 2005

EBITDA: Pointer’s EBITDA increased to $10.1 million in 2006 (without off-setting minority interest), as compared to $6.4 million in 2005.

Total Shareholder’s Equity: In December 2006, the Company raised $4.7M in consideration for the issuance of 425,000 new shares and 212,500 warrants in a private placement to Israeli institutional investors, out of which $2.6 million received in 2006. Shareholders’ equity for the end of the 2006 was $19.4 million compared to $10.8 million at the end of 2005.

Commenting on the results, Danny Stern, Pointer’s CEO, said: “We are pleased with the financial results of 2006, notably the growth of our international revenues and increased gross profit. Broad service offerings and our improved market positioning also enhance and lend force to our business model.

Pointer’s business development in 2006 and up to the current date includes the following:

In Argentina new marketing channels were expanded by acquiring subscriber portfolios that are expected to provide additional growth in the future.

Our Mexican subsidiary commenced marketing fleet management services to business partners.

Pointer raised $6.1 million from the exercise of warrants and a private placement which indicates continuing investor confidence in the Company.

During the fourth quarter Pointer’s shares were dual listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

We are confident that our efforts to increase Pointer’s international activities will continue to be leveraged into further economies of scale and will positively affect our revenues and profitability. Pointer’s future growth is expected to be based on future M&A activity in addition to the Company’s continued internal growth. We continue to focus on increasing our products and service offerings, strengthening our technologies and entering into in new areas of cooperation with additional business partners”, concluded Mr. Stern.
