(NASDAQ:ALLT), a leader in IP service optimization solutions based on deep packet inspection (DPI) technology, today reported continued improvement in its quarterly results with the announcement of its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009. Key highlights: - Third quarter revenues totaled $10.8 million, representing an 8% increase over the second quarter of 2009 - Non-GAAP loss continues to decline, with third quarter non-GAAP net loss totaling $0.2 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, from $0.4 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, in the second quarter of 2009, and from $1.6 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008 - As of September 30, 2009, cash, cash equivalents, deposits and investments in marketable securities totaled $52.8 million - To date, total orders of $12.6 million received from a global Tier 1 mobile operator under a frame agreement Total revenues for the third quarter of 2009 reached $10.8 million, a 10% increase from the $9.8 million of revenues reported in the third quarter of 2008 and an 8% increase from the $10.0 million of revenues reported in the second quarter of 2009. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the third quarter of 2009 was $2.3 million, or $0.10 per share (basic and diluted). This compares with a net loss of $9.0 million, or $0.41 per share (basic and diluted), in the third quarter of 2008, and a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.05 per share (basic and diluted), in the second quarter of 2009. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of share-based compensation, auction-rate securities (ARS) devaluation, certain legal expenses and amortization of acquired core technology, net loss for the third quarter of 2009 totaled $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share (basic and diluted), as compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.07 per share (basic and diluted), for the third quarter of 2008 and a non-GAAP net loss of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per share (basic and diluted), for the second quarter of 2009. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. A full reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP net loss is provided in the accompanying Table 2. 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's growth continues to be driven primarily from its leadership position in the mobile market," commented Allot President and CEO Rami Hadar. "Since we initially announced the frame agreement with a Tier 1 mobile operator group , we have received an additional $7.6 million in orders, bringing total orders from this customer to approximately $12.6 million to date. Our ability to provide a solution that enables mobile operators to meet the rapidly increasing demand for data services, coupled with our expertise in implementing complex, large scale projects have been key factors for Allot's success in this market. "During the quarter we began receiving orders for the two newest members of our wide range of product offerings. The new Sigma, our next generation service gateway platform, offers higher throughput and full flexibility in introducing revenue generating services to subscribers. The AC-5000 provides an optimal solution for bandwidth maximization and managed services for both large enterprise and small service providers," concluded Hadar. Recently, the Company achieved the following significant goals: - Successfully implemented the first phase of the large Tier 1 mobile operator deployment; - Received approximately $7.6 million in follow-on orders to date for next phase of Tier 1 project; - Received initial orders for its new Sigma and AC-5000 products; and - During the quarter, concluded 11 large deals with service providers, of which 2 represented new customers and 9 represented expansion deals. As of September 30, 2009, cash, cash equivalents, deposits and investments in marketable securities totaled $52.8 million. Recent external valuations showed a major decrease in value of one ARS in the Company's portfolio as of the end of the third quarter. Other ARS valuations, showed only a slight increase or decrease in value. As a result, the Company recorded a net impairment charge of $1.4 million in its statement of operations on a GAAP basis, in respect of ARS, the devaluation of which is considered "other than temporary", and an unrealized net loss of $0.2 million to other comprehensive income in its shareholders' equity, leaving the Company with a total book value of $13.8 million in ARS at the end of the quarter. To date, all ARS are current on their respective interest payments.
