2016 Outlook

Based on current backlog and the Company's funnel of opportunities, the Company reiterates 2016 guidance and expects revenues to be in the range of $102-$108 million in 2016, on a non-GAAP basis. Revenues for the second half of 2016 are expected to be higher than in the first half.

"Q1 results came in below our expectations mainly due to slow turning of backlog into revenues. However, we have several significant projects in deployment which we expect to materialize throughout the year. During the quarter, we launched the SG-9500, an Intel-based service gateway and shipped 6 orders. This new offering extends our addressable market by providing a mid-range solution with low cost of ownership, rich functionality and great scalability." Said Andrei Elefant, President & CEO of Allot Communications. "We are also encouraged by the progress made this quarter in the security segment as existing customers are continuously adding licenses and our funnel includes opportunities with new customers. Our strong backlog supports our original revenue guidance and we believe that revenues will grow during 2016, year over year."

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 update and 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.
