Management Comment
Erez Antebi, President & CEO of Allot, commented: “We are very pleased with our performance in the second quarter. We grew revenues 23% year-over-year, while improving gross margins and continuing our advance to profitability.”
Continued Mr. Antebi, “COVID-19 continues to present Allot with both challenges and opportunities. While it is taking longer to close deals and the absence of travel is challenging business development activities, we are continuing to work towards meeting our goals and are on track to achieving our original 2020 plan. I believe that in the long-term, the growing need for successful connectivity and the increased amount of threats consumers face on the internet, will further increase demand for Allot’s solutions.”

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
Non-GAAP net income is defined as GAAP net income after excluding stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, deferred tax asset adjustment, exchange rate differences related to revaluation of assets and liabilities denominated in non-dollar currencies and other acquisition-related expenses.
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 is provided in the accompanying Table 2. The Company provides these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes 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 they are useful to investors in enhancing an understanding of the Company’s operating performance.
