Thank you, operator. Good day to all of you and welcome to Ituran’s conference call to discuss the second quarter 2016 results. I would like to thank Ituran’s management for hosting this conference call. With me today on the call are Mr. Eyal Sheratzky, the Co-CEO; Mr. Eli Kamer, the CFO; and Mr. Udi Mizrahi, VP, Finance. Eyal will begin with a summary of the quarter’s results, followed by Eli with a summary of the financials. We will then open the call for the question-and-answer session. I’d like to remind everyone that the Safe Harbor statement in the press release also covers the contents of this conference call. And now, Eyal, would you like to begin please?

Thank you, Ehud. I would like to welcome all of you and thank you for joining us today. We are very pleased with our results of the quarter. We showed very solid year-over-year growth and in particular we brought through a milestone of reaching 1 million subscribers. We present our results today showing year-over-year growth despite a continued currency headwinds so this has diminished compared with the last few quarters. While in U.S. dollar terms our second quarter revenues are 12% ahead of those last year, in local currencies our revenues grew overall by 23%. Demonstrating the operating leverage, our second quarter operating income grew 19% over those of last year and showed a very nice 36% growth over the last year in local currency terms. Our strong improvements in local currency terms are the fruits of our exceptionally strong subscriber growth over the past year in which we added 133,000. This growth was due to the extensive work we have done over the past few years to bring new products to market, which expanded our addressable markets by targeting the lower end of the market in Israel and in Brazil, the uninsured segment of the market. We do believe that our efforts have expanded our subscriber’s quarterly growth trend from the 15,000 to 20,000 trade we were seeing in 2014 to the 25,000 and above range now. This high level of subscriber growth proves that we are seeing tremendous traction in both Brazil and Israel for our new products and services. While every new subscriber add bring us additional revenue, we have an existing operating infrastructure in place to support them. As our subscriber base continues to grow, we believe the operating leverage inherent to our business model will allow us to bring much of new revenue growth down…

Thanks, Eyal. Revenues for the second quarter of 2016 were $49.3 million, up 12% when compared to revenues of $43.8 million in the second quarter of 2015. When excluding the currency impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar, our year-over-year growth in revenues would have been 23%. Revenue breakdown for the quarter was $35.4 million coming from subscription fees, a 10% year-on-year increase. In local currency, revenue increased by 24% over the second quarter of last year. Product revenues were $13.9 million, which were a 19% increase over the same quarter last year. Currencies did not have a significant impact on our product revenues. The geographic breakdown of revenues in the second was as follows: Israel, 52%; Brazil, 26%; Argentina, 8%; and United States, 4%. Gross margin in the quarter was 51.7% compared with the gross margin of 50.8% in the second quarter of last year. The gross margin on subscription fees was 55.8% and the gross margin on product was 16%. The operating leverage built into our business model whereby we can add each new subscriber at a much higher incremental margin enabled us to increase our gross margin despite the fact that the lower margin product revenues was a higher portion on the revenue mix in the quarter. In addition, the weakening of the Brazilian real and the Argentinean peso versus the U.S. dollar had a negative impact on the gross margin. Operating profit for the second quarter of 2016 was $12 million, an increase of 19% compared with an operating of $10 million in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of the change in exchange rate over the period, the operating profits would have increased 36% over the second quarter of last year. EBITDA for the quarter was $14.8 million or 30.1% of revenues, an increase…

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, we will begin the question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] The first question is from Sasha Karim of IPI. Please go ahead.

Hi, guys. Congratulations on yet another quarter. I’ve got a couple of questions. First the – how well funded is IRT from the – going forward, can we expect more cash outflow in the cash flow statement before that JV turns to cash flow positive? Actually, if you can answer that, I will come back with the second one.

Hi. Regarding IRT investments, as I said, we are currently having revenues and we are also gathering more and more cash. And as I said, we believe that in Q1 2017, we will be cash positive in this business and currently we are really in the end of the investment in this infrastructure.

Great, thanks. Another question would just be specifically with respect to that JV in Brazil, which seems to be the most significant region for you. Could you help us in terms of modelling assumptions there on – in terms of what is the ARPU you expect once – at the year one, when somebody have chosen to become a fully paying subscriber and also how much do you receive from your OEM partner in year one even though the service is technically being offered for free, I believe, for the customer?

So, first of all, what we said is that this JV is a contract with a national car manufacturer to install our solution and services in 100% of the cars models from now for the next five years. Based on the current [indiscernible] as we know the Brazilian economy is not in the best shape, we are talking about something between 1.5 million to 2 million cars using our solution in the next five years. We are not consolidating those numbers. So I have to be very careful about information that I share with you. You will see the results as part of our profit for affiliates and regarding ARPU, we're not providing data, although this ARPU is not part of the average that we showed in our middle and more subscribers.

Okay. I appreciate you don't want to give too many details in the granular stuff, but can you at least give us some kind of top down indication of what’s kind of contribution this JV could make to your operating profit, if you reach that point where it is 1.5, 2 million cars?

It won't be in the operating. As I said, we're not having, we're having only 50%. So according to accountant policy, we can provide only profit or loss from this joint venture, it will not be part of our other fundamental such as revenue, such as operating income. Regarding the total contribution, first of all we believe that this is going to be material, of course this is going to be ramping up towards 2018, 2019 in the head and then we believe it can be a material. We don't have yet data about renewals of the customers. As we say, this car manufacturer paying us for the first year, for the hardware and for the service. So, the first year is, we have a commitment and we have promising for the revenues and for the profits, but for the renewal, from the second year of this car owners we will have together with this car manufacturer to push in marketing because then the customer will have to pay it by himself. We have our own business plans, but of course we still don't have any real data, and we are not in a position to share with you yet.

Okay, thank you.

[Operator Instructions] There are no further questions at this time. Before I ask Mr. Sheratzky to go ahead with his closing statement, I would like to remind participants that a replay of this call will be available tomorrow on Ituran’s website www.ituran.co.il.
