Radware Plans to Reactivate its Stock Repurchase Program
TEL AVIV, Israel, July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
* Quarterly revenues of $24.0 million
** GAAP loss per share $0.36, Non-GAAP loss per share $0.25
Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR), the leading provider of integrated application
delivery solutions for business-smart networking, today reported quarterly
revenues of $24.0 million for the second quarter of 2008. This represents
an increase of 12% compared with revenues of $21.5 million for the second
quarter of 2007 and an increase of 8% compared to revenues of $22.2 million
for the first quarter of 2008.
Net loss on a GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2008 was $7.1
million or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $8.3 million
or $0.42 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008 and to a net loss
of $4 million or $0.21 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2007.
Net loss on a non-GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2008 was $5.0
million or $0.25 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $6.3
million or $0.32 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008 and to a
net loss of $2.4 million or $0.12 per diluted share in the second quarter
of 2007. Non-GAAP results exclude the effects of stock-based compensation
expense and amortization of intangible assets and acquisition related
expenses.
During the second quarter, the continued devaluation of the US dollar
against the Israeli Shekel, the Euro, the Australian dollar and Asian
currencies resulted in an increase in operating expenses of $0.8 million
compared to the first quarter 2008. This increase was off-set by a decrease
in expenses derived from cutting operational costs.
At the end of the second quarter 2008 the company's overall cash
position, including cash, short-term and long-term bank deposits and
marketable securities totaled an amount of $148.6 million.
"The strategic and tactical plans set forth in the first quarter are
proving to be successful and are enabling Radware to make real headway in
the ADC market," said Roy Zisapel, President & CEO of Radware. "With the
introduction of APSolute Immunity, our new security strategy and key
partnerships such as joining Juniper Networks J-Partnership program as a
major application delivery solutions provider, we are well positioned for
continued growth in the next quarters."
Management's expectation is to reach an annual growth rate in the mid
to high teens and return to operating profitability by the fourth quarter
of 2008.
Radware further announced that it plans to reactivate its stock
repurchase program. Purchases under Radware's stock repurchase program may
be made in the open market or in private transactions, from time to time,
through block trades or otherwise. These purchases, including scope and
price limits, will depend on market conditions and other factors and may be
commenced or suspended at any time without prior notice. The Company's
current intention is to implement the repurchase program in accordance with
the safe harbor rules of Rule 10b-18 under the US Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.
As of July 21 2008, Radware had approximately 20 million shares
outstanding.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, or 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 expense, in accordance with
SFAS 123R, and amortization of intangible assets and acquisition related
expenses. Radware's management believes the non-GAAP financial information
provided in this release is useful to investors for the purpose of
understanding and assessment of 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.
This press release may contain forward-looking statements that are
subject to risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, general business conditions in the Application Switching
and Network Security industry, changes in demand for Application Switching
and Network Security products, the timing and amount or cancellation of
orders and other risks detailed from time to time in Radware's filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Radware's Form 20-F.
