TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, July 26, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Radware^® (NASDAQ:RDWR), a leading provider of cyber security and application delivery solutions ensuring optimal service level for applications in virtual, cloud and software defined data centers, today announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

“Despite challenging market conditions this year, we have made solid progress this past quarter with our subscription booking and revenues,” said Roy Zisapel, Radware President & CEO. “We are starting to bear the fruit of our technological investments with the launch of our new Cloud WAF, the expansions of our DDoS Scrubbing services and our technological achievements in ADC with NFV. Their availability in the market should help allow us to resume revenues growth in the second half of 2016.”

Financial Highlights for the second quarter of 2016

Revenues for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $49.6 million, representing a decrease of 11% compared with revenues of $56.0 million for the second quarter of 2015, and an increase of 2% compared with revenues of $48.4 million for the first quarter of 2016.

Net loss on a GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2016 was $1.3 million or ($0.03) per share, compared with net income of $7.2 million or $0.15 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2015 and compared with net loss of $2.8 million or ($0.06) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2016.

Excluding the impact of the patent litigation expense, stock-based compensation, exchange rate differences, net on balance sheet items and amortization of intangible assets, non-GAAP net income was $2.6 million or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $10.8 million or $0.23 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2015 and compared with non-GAAP net income of $2.3 million or $0.05 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2016.

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 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, 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. 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.
