Recent Business Highlights:

  • During the first quarter, Cyren added over 60 new Enterprise SaaS customers using either Cyren WebSecurity (CWS) or Cyren EmailSecurity (CES). The rate of new customer acquisition for Cyren's Enterprise solutions is higher than any other single quarter, and includes competitive wins against Forcepoint, Cisco (OpenDNS), McAfee and Mimecast.
  • Cyren's pipeline for Enterprise SaaS platform customers has grown over 45% in the last quarter, and the company is targeting to accelerate new customer acquisition in its Enterprise business over future quarters.
  • The company won a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract with a large tier 1 managed cloud computing service provider using Cyren's Threat Intelligence Services, displacing another well-known security vendor who was the incumbent. The contract will have a positive revenue impact beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017.
  • Cyren renewed and expanded several large Threat Intelligence Service contracts in the United States, Europe and Asia. These include well known cloud security vendors who are heavily dependent on Cyren's superior detection technology in order to deliver service to their enterprise customers.
  • Cyren issued $6.3 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes with a conversion price of $2.50 per share, representing a 25% premium to the $2.00 per share closing price prior to the offering. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and carry a 5.0% interest rate for a 2.5 year term, payable semi-annually in 50% cash and 50% cash or ordinary shares at Cyren's election. Cyren still maintains the ability to sell an additional $3.7 million of these convertible notes on the same terms.
  • On April 1, 2017 John Becker formally began his term with Cyren's Board of Directors after being approved by shareholders in December 2016. John brings over 30 years of security and technology industry experience to Cyren, including serving as the CEO of Sourcefire prior to its $2.7 billion sale to Cisco. John also served as the CEO of ScienceLogic, Approva, Cybertrust, Trusecure and Axent Technologies.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude: stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, executive termination costs, deferred taxes and deferred revenues related to acquisitions, one-time settlement agreements, adjustments to earn-out obligations and capitalization of technology. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of the company's performance exclusive of non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of the company's core operating results. The company's non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Company management regularly uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the business and make operating decisions.

These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. The company believes this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of the business. The company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide consistent and comparable measures to help investors understand the company's current and future operating cash flow performance. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Income. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when evaluating the business internally and therefore felt it important to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors.

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including projections about the company's business, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For example, statements in the future tense, and statements including words such as "expect," "plan," "estimate," "anticipate," or "believe" are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on information available at the time of the press release and the company assumes no obligation to update any of them. The statements in this press release are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from current expectations as a result of numerous factors, including business conditions and growth or deterioration in the internet security market, technological developments, products offered by competitors, availability of qualified staff, and technological difficulties and resource constraints encountered in developing new products, as well as those risks described in the company's Annual Reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K, which are available through www.sec.gov.
