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.
