Management Comment

Andrei Elefant, President & CEO of Allot Communications, commented, "Our core markets remain tough and 2016 continues to be a slower year than we had originally expected.  Our orders to-date have been of a smaller scale and more diversified than we saw in past years. In light of our weaker traditional end-markets, we continue to evolve our strategy towards new growth markets, shifting towards sales of security and monetization solutions. At the same time, we took steps to lower our cost base and we expect that it will enable us to return to profitability in the coming quarters, particularly as we transition to security and monetization solutions." 

"From a strategic standpoint, the third quarter showed a number of important developments, demonstrating that our strategy is on track," continued Mr. Elefant. "We have since launched our Secure Service Gateway. This solution which is focused on web and network security, delivers integrated network visibility, security and control for enterprises in a single, scalable appliance, and we are already beginning to see initial traction for this product. Furthermore, our project with a major European operator continues to gain more subscribers signing on to their mobile security solution, provided by Allot. According to the customer, in the first nine months of 2016 the service blocked 50,000 ransomware attacks to four million subscribers who use the service. Our strategic collaboration with Intel Security, developing the McAfee Unified Security, Powered by Allot solution for consumer and small business markets, is on track and we are progressing as planned. We look forward to maximizing the potential of our relationship in future quarters. Our overall strategic progress as we move through the end of 2016 validates the significant value that we hope to bring as a player in the security as a service domain in 2017 and beyond."

2016 Outlook

The Company has updated its 2016 guidance. Revenues are expected in the range of $87-$90 million for the full year of 2016, both on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation:

The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenues is related to the acquisitions made by the Company and represents revenues adjusted for the impact of the fair value adjustment to acquired deferred revenue related to purchase accounting. Non-GAAP net income is defined as GAAP net income after including deferred revenues related to the fair value adjustment resulting from purchase accounting and excluding stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, deferred tax asset adjustment, restructuring expenses 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 are 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.
