TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, MAY 2, 2018 Radware® (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of cyber security and application delivery solutions, today announced its consolidated financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
 
“We are very pleased with our results for the first quarter, our third consecutive quarter with double digit revenue growth. The cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, and customers are investing in attack mitigation more strategically. Radware is benefiting from the competitive advantages of our comprehensive solution portfolio for datacenter attack mitigation while at the same time continuing to expand this portfolio,” said Roy Zisapel, Radware President & CEO. “Looking at the strong first quarter performance and robust pipeline, we clearly started 2018 on the right foot and are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead of us.”

Financial Highlights for the First Quarter of 2018
 
Revenues for the first quarter of 2018 totaled $54.5 million, up 11% from revenues of $48.9 million for the first quarter of 2017:
 
·
Revenues in the Americas region were $24.2 million for the first quarter of 2018, up 32% from revenues of $18.3 million in the first quarter of 2017.
 
·
Revenues in the EMEA region were $15.1 million for the first quarter of 2018, up 4% from revenues of $14.6 million in the first quarter of 2017.
 
·
Revenues in the APAC region were $15.2 million for the first quarter of 2018, down 5% from revenues of $16.0 million in the first quarter of 2017.
 
Net loss on a GAAP basis for the first quarter of 2018 was ($1.0) million or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared with net loss of ($4.1) million or ($0.09) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2017.
 
Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2018 was $2.6 million or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with non- GAAP net income of $0.7 million or $0.02 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2017.
 
Non-GAAP results are calculated excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, exchange rate differences, net on balance sheet items included in financial income, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition costs and litigation costs. A reconciliation of each of the company’s non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measured is included at the end of this press release.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term bank deposits and marketable securities of $358.1 million. Cash generated from operations in the first quarter of 2018 totaled $12.2 million.
 
 


Share Repurchase Plan
The Company also announced that its board of directors has authorized a new one-year plan to repurchase up to $40 million of its issued and outstanding ordinary shares. The share repurchase plan authorizes management to repurchase, from time to time, ordinary shares in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or in other legally permissible ways depending on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors. Such repurchases, which will be funded from available working capital, will be made in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The share repurchase plan does not obligate Radware to buy back any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time at management’s discretion.

###
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Radware uses non-GAAP measures of gross profit, operating income, financial income, net income and earnings per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude stock-based compensation expenses, in accordance with ASC No. 718, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition costs, litigation costs and exchange rate differences, net on balance sheet items included in finance income. Such exchange rate differences may vary from period to period due to changes in exchange rates driven by general market conditions or other circumstances outside of the normal course of Radware's operations. Management believes that exclusion of these charges allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent across past, present and future periods. Furthermore, Radware uses a measure called “total deferred revenues” which is defined as the sum of short and long term deferred revenues on the balance sheet and uncollected billed amounts that were offset against trade receivables, and are not presented on the balance sheet. Radware’s management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors for the purpose of understanding and assessing Radware’s ongoing operations. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, is included with the financial information contained in this press release. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and, as such, has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors.

Statements preceded by, followed by, or that otherwise include the words "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "estimates", "plans", and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "will", "should", "would", "may" and "could" are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts.

This list is intended to identify only certain of the principal factors that could cause actual results to differ. For a more detailed description of the risks and uncertainties affecting Radware, reference is made to Radware’s Annual Report on Form 20-F, which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the other risk factors discussed from time to time by Radware in reports filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.
