Management Comment

Erez Antebi, President & CEO of Allot, commented, “The macro-economic environment remains significantly challenging for Allot.  One of the consequences we are experiencing is the resulting added budget constraints of some of our potential customers which has had a negative effect on our business.

Last quarter, we announced a cost reduction plan which we are currently implementing, and consequently, we aim to reduce our yearly operating expenses in 2024.”

Q3 2023 Financial Results Summary

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2023 were $22.6 million, a decrease of approximately 10% compared to $25.0 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Gross profit on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2023 was $10.5 million (gross margin of 46.3%), a 36% decline compared with $16.4 million (gross margin of 65.4%) in the third quarter of 2022.

Gross profit on a non-GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2023 was $10.8 million (gross margin of 47.9%), a 36% decline compared with $16.8 million (gross margin of 67.2%) in the third quarter of 2022.

The gross margin level for both GAAP and non- GAAP basis in the current quarter was impacted by an unusually unfavorable product mix.

Net loss on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2023 was $12.4 million, or $0.32 per basic share, compared with a net loss of $12.9 million, or $0.35 per basic share, in the third quarter of 2022.

Net loss on a non-GAAP for the third quarter of 2023 was $10.8 million, or $0.28 per basic share compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $10.6 million, or $0.28 per basic share, in the third quarter of 2022.

Cash, short-term bank deposits and investments as of September 30, 2023, totaled $60.4 million, compared to $86.4 million as of December 31, 2022.

Performance Metrics

* Total ARR - Support & Maintenance ARR (measures the current annual run rate of support & maintenance revenues, which is calculated based on the revenues for the third quarter of 2023 and multiplied by 4) and SECaaS ARR (measures the current annual run rate of the SECaaS revenues), which is calculated based on the revenues in the month of September 2023 and multiplied by 12.


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, exchange rate differences related to revaluation of assets and liabilities denominated in non-dollar currencies, other acquisition-related expenses and changes in taxes related items.

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.
