Hod Hasharon, Israel – February 7, 2012 – Allot Communications Ltd.

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 reached $22 million, a 36% increase from the $16.2 million of revenues reported for the fourth quarter of 2010, and a 10% increase from the $20.1 million of revenues reported for the third quarter of 2011. On a GAAP basis, net profit for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $3.5 million, or $0.13 per basic share and $0.12 per diluted share. This compares with net profit of $1.3 million, or $0.06 per basic share and $0.05 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2010, and net profit of $2.1 million, or $0.09 per basic share and $0.08 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011. For the full year 2011, revenues reached $77.8 million, representing a 36% increase over the $57 million of revenues in 2010. On a GAAP basis, net profit for the year 2011 was $8.8 million, or $0.35 per basic share and $0.33 per diluted share, as compared with a net loss of $5.8 million, or $0.25 per share (basic and diluted), in 2010.
The weighted average number of diluted shares increased in the fourth quarter of 2011 reflecting the issuance of new shares as part of the Company’s public offering which closed on November 15, 2011.
On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of share-based compensation and amortization of certain intangibles, non-GAAP net profit for the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled $4.2 million, or $0.15 per basic share and $0.14 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net profit of $1.8 million, or $0.08 per basic share and $0.07 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2010, and non-GAAP net profit $3.4 million or $0.14 per basic share and $0.13 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011. For the full year 2011, excluding the impact of share-based compensation and amortization of certain intangibles and one-time expenses related to M&A activities, non-GAAP net profit for the year 2011 reached $12.5 million, or $0.50 per basic share and $0.46 per diluted share, compared with a non-GAAP net profit of $4.1 million, or $0.18 per basic share and $0.17 per diluted share, for the full year 2010.
These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP results and a full reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results are provided in the accompanying Tables 2 and 3. The Company provides these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they present a better measure of the Company’s core business and management uses the non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the Company’s ongoing performance. Accordingly, the Company believes that they are useful to investors in enhancing an understanding of the Company’s operating performance.
“Allot continued strong growth in 2011, primarily attributable to its leading position in the mobile market," commented Rami Hadar, Allot Communications' President and Chief Executive Officer. “With video-based applications becoming an ever-increasing challenge for wireline and mobile data networks, we are seeing an increasing number of opportunities throughout Europe, APAC and the Americas. Our Service Gateway provides the broadest and most robust feature set and services for Tier 1 operators. It is a major reason for our being chosen for the largest mobile DPI deployment in the world, which covers both 3G and 4G/LTE topologies.”
Recently, the Company achieved the following significant goals:
- During the quarter, received orders from 10 large service providers, 5 of which represented new customers; of these, three new large customers were mobile operators;
- Deepened penetration into a second Tier 1 account in Europe;
- Announced a $9.5 million order from a Tier 1 wireline account in APAC;
- Completed LTE deployments in Europe: and
- Raised $85 million in a secondary offering.
