(NASDAQ: ITRN), today announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of 2020.\nHighlights of the second quarter of 2020\nThe results were impacted by the global Covid-19 pandemic; Revenue of $53.3 million; Adjusted EBITDA was $13.9 million, a decline of 9% on a sequential basis; Generated $19.3 million in quarterly operating cash flow; Total subscribers reached 1,751,000 at the end of the quarterManagement Comment \nEyal Sheratzky, Co-CEO of Ituran said, \"We are happy with Ituran's second quarter results which were ahead of expectations, particularly given the unprecedented global macroeconomic situation with full shutdowns in the geographies that we operate in.

Ituran's stability during this unprecedented global crisis, demonstrates the overall resilience of our business model,\" added Sheratzky.\nMr. Sheratzky concluded, \"The global uncertainty caused by the ongoing Corona pandemic is expected to continue for the immediate future. We will remain proactive and continue to align our expenses to expected revenue levels. Looking ahead, we therefore expect similar levels of performance in our third quarter results. Longer-term, given the challenges that we have already overcome, I am confident t...
