Highlights

  • First quarter revenues were $29.3 million, up 16% year-over-year;
  • Non-GAAP gross margin increased to 74.8% compared to 72.4% in the first quarter of 2019 and GAAP gross margin increased to 74.0% compared to 71.2% in the first quarter of 2019;
  • Non-GAAP net loss of $0.4 million and GAAP net loss $1.7 million, both significantly improved from non-GAAP net loss of $1.9 million and GAAP net loss of $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2019;
  • Cash and investments at the end of the first quarter totaled $110.7 million compared to $117.6 million at year-end 2019;

Financial Outlook

  • Management reiterates its prior issued guidance, with expectations for full year 2020 revenues to grow to between $135-140 million, representing accelerated double-digit growth. In addition, expectations are that second quarter revenue will exceed those reported for the first quarter of 2020;
  • Management continues to expect to return to profitability on a quarterly basis before year-end;
  • Management continues to expect to close additional Recurring Security Revenue deals in 2020 and reiterates that the MAR* (maximum annual revenue potential of concluded transactions) of new deals expected to be signed in 2020 should exceed $140 million

Management Comment

Erez Antebi, President & CEO of Allot, commented: "We are pleased with our first quarter results. We grew revenues by 16% year-over-year, while improving margins and continuing our advance toward profitability."

Continued Mr. Antebi, "COVID-19 is presenting Allot with both challenges and opportunities. Operators worldwide are seeing growth in demand for bandwidth of up to 40%, as well as an increase in cyber attacks on consumers and SMBs. While some operators are delaying tasks they consider less critical, we see overall demand for Allot products and services at similar levels to what we saw before COVID-19, and in some areas, we even see somewhat increased demand."

Concluded Mr. Antebi, "Despite the employees from both Allot and our customers working from home, as well as the other adaptations we have all made, we are continuing to work toward meeting our goals and are on track to achieving our original 2020 plan. I believe that long-term, the growth in bandwidth needs and increased cyber security needs will further increase demand for Allot 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.
