Erez Antebi, President & CEO of Allot Communications, commented, 'During the quarter we announced that Allot was selected by another major global telecom provider, Telefonica, to provide their subscriber base with network security services in five major markets in LATAM and Europe. This comes on top of an expanding subscriber base protected by the well-established Vodafone Secure Net service powered by Allot and provides further evidence that our network security products are gaining traction and the right growth engine for our company.'

Mr. Antebi continued: 'I firmly believe Allot has strong unleashed potential and our goal is to realize and maximize this in the coming years.'

On a GAAP basis, total revenues for the first quarter of 2017 were $18.4 million compared to $22.9 million reported for the first quarter of 2016. Net loss for the first quarter of 2017 was $5.1 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share.

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 adjustment, restructuring expenses and other 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.
