NETANYA, Israel, Mar 16, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- RADA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. (Nasdaq:RADA) today reported its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2008. The company reported revenues in 2008 of $17.9 million, an increase of 27% from 2007. Rada's gross profit increased 26% to $4.2 million in 2008 from $3.3 million in 2007. The gross margin was 24% in both 2008 and 2007. The Company had operating profit of $110,000 in 2008 compared to an operating loss of $387,000 in 2007. As a result, the Company reported a net loss of $576,000 or $0.07 per share. This compares with a net loss of $1.08 million or $0.12 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Commenting on the results, Zvika Alon, RADA's CEO, said, "Our 2008 financial results show continuous improvement during the last three years. We are pleased with the on-going increase in revenues and, for the first time in four years, reaching operational profitability this fiscal year. Our internal investment in research and development during 2008 was $686,000, which amount exceeded our net loss, and we achieved these results despite the increasingly challenging economic environment worldwide. Going into 2009 we intend to continue to invest in research and development of new products to ensure that we are prepared to capitalize on the many opportunities we see in the defense market. We will continue our marketing efforts, which were very successful during the past year resulting in an increased order backlog. Based on our backlog and sales forecast, we maintain our expectations for revenues growth in 2009."
