Management Comment

Eyal Harari, CEO of Allot commented, “We are pleased with the continued progress made this quarter in strengthening Allot’s financial position through our cash generation, and we are particularly pleased with our first positive non-GAAP operating income in three years. Revenue grew both sequentially and year over year, and revenue from our security growth engine continues to grow very strongly.

“Our security as a service solution continues to gain traction. We recently expanded our business and launched new services with Vodafone and MEO. These newly announced customer-wins further broaden the potential subscriber base which can benefit from our security solutions and strengthen our recurring revenue base over the long term.”

“As we finalize our strategy for long-term growth and profitability, we are positioning ourselves as a security-first company by unifying our network intelligence and security offerings. We believe that this integrated approach will enhance our value proposition and lay a new foundation for long-term profitable growth. I am increasingly optimistic about Allot’s future,” concluded Harari.
