Reorganization and Cost-Cutting Plan
Since the end of the third quarter of 2009, RiT has implemented a company-wide reorganization and cost-cutting plan that will reduce the Company’s 2010 operating expenses by approximately $1.7 million compared with their level in 2009.
Comments of Management
“Our 2009 results reflect the recession that has dominated our target construction and financial verticals since late 2008, especially in the territories that are traditionally our strongest, such as Russia, the U.K. and North America,” commented Mr. Avi Kovarsky, RiT’s President & CEO. “In response to the reduced sales, we have accelerated our sales efforts and completed a comprehensive cost-cutting and reorganization program that will reduce our operating expenses by $1.7 million in 2010 as compared with 2009. At this expense level, and with the continued strong financing support of our controlling shareholder Stins Coman, we believe that we have the flexibility we need to pursue growth in step with the recovery of our markets.”
Mr. Kovarsky continued, “At the same time, two positive factors give us room for optimism as we look forward into 2010 and beyond. First, we continue to have a rich sales pipeline, which includes significant late-stage Carrier deals and high-potential Enterprise deals delayed from 2009. Second, we see significant potential in our new SiteWiz and EPV solutions, which expand our reach into the resilient small-to-medium-sized Enterprise segment. We are encouraged by the market reaction to these products and are very near to closing a significant SiteWiz deal. ”
Mr. Kovarsky concluded, “We are encouraged by the combination of these positive factors. With a lean expense structure, a rich sales pipeline, the right products and strong backing, we feel well positioned to achieve a turnaround and to deliver improved results in the year ahead.”
