“We reported solid results for the fourth quarter of 2016 and are very pleased with the underlying business trends, which led to record bookings for the quarter, primarily due to the success of our subscription and cloud security solutions,” said Roy Zisapel, Radware President & CEO. “Overall, our business continues its desired and strategic transition towards increased data center security sales and a growing proportion of service and subscription sales. We have expanded this offering last week with the acquisition of Seculert, which brings us cutting-edge cloud-based machine learning and big data analytics capabilities. Our comprehensive solution offering addresses the core challenges of applications delivery and security, and our flexible deployment models are aligned with the continued migration of applications to the cloud.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Radware uses non-GAAP measures of gross profit, operating income, financial income, net income and earnings per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude stock-based compensation expenses, in accordance with ASC No. 718, amortization of intangible assets, litigation costs and exchange rate differences, net on balance sheet items included in finance income. Such exchange rate differences may vary from period to period due to changes in exchange rates driven by general market conditions or other circumstances outside of the normal course of Radware's operations. Management believes that exclusion of these charges allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent across past, present and future periods. Furthermore, Radware uses a measure called “total deferred revenues” which is defined as the sum of short and long term deferred revenues on the balance sheet and uncollected billed amounts that were offset against trade receivables, and are not presented on the balance sheet. Radware’s management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors for the purpose of understanding and assessing Radware’s ongoing operations. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, is included with the financial information contained in this press release. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and, as such, has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors.
