Despite these challenges, we witnessed strong financial results recorded across our entire portfolio companies which we were able to achieve due to the perseverance and cost saving actions taken by all management teams across our entire portfolio.

Matrix is constantly working on preserving its business continuity and growth opportunities.”“Sapiens managed to increase its revenues by 17.0% year over year as a result of organic growth in North America and Europe.

In addition, Sapiens has raised its 2020 revenue guidance from $368 - $377 million to the range of $376 - $381 million.”“Magic’s outlook for 2020 has also improved in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic due to an increased demand, from existing and new customers, for digital transformation projects, as COVID-19 pandemic forced organizations and their employees to adapt to the new forced reality and working environment. Magic plans to continue its efforts in maintaining and growing its strong financial position as a trusted advisor in the SMB market and a one-stop-shop for digital transformation, both organically and through acquisitions.”“Michpal continues to realize synergies and monetize on its busines model and on the market it operates in.
