During the first quarter we secured orders and long-term agreements at a value of over $40 million, increasing our backlog and LTA Value of over $410 million. This strength will drive continued

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA. The adjustments to the Company’s GAAP results are made with the
intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational results, trends and performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income excluding the impact of: the Company's share in
results of affiliated companies, share-based compensation, taxes on income, financial (expenses) income, net, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be considered as alternative to net income and operating income
for the period and may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor it is meant to be predictive of potential future results. Adjusted EBITDA is not measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting
principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. See reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA below.
