- Revenues totaled $26.9 million, a 4.2% increase from the previous quarter.
- Gross margins increased to 23.0% compared with 21.2% in the previous quarter.
- Backlog as of March 31, 2011 at $202 million, a $14 million increase from the previous quarter.
RRsat Global Communications Network Ltd. (NASDAQ: RRST), a leading provider of comprehensive content management and global distribution services to the television and radio broadcasting industries, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.
First Quarter 2011 Results:
Revenues in the first quarter of 2011 totaled $26.9 million, an increase of 4.2% compared with $25.8 million in the previous quarter and a 4.1% increase compared with $25.9 million in the first quarter of 2010.
Gross Profit in the first quarter of 2011 totaled $6.2 million, representing a gross margin of 23.0%, compared with gross profit of $5.5 million in the previous quarter, representing a gross margin of 21.2%. Gross profit in the first quarter of 2010 totaled $7.3 million, representing a gross margin of 28.2%.
Operating income for the first quarter of 2011 totaled $2.0 million, representing an operating margin of 7.4%, compared with an operating income of $1.1 million in the previous quarter, representing an operating margin of 4.4%. Operating income in the first quarter of 2010 totaled $3.8 million, representing an operating margin of 14.6%. The decline in the operating margin is partly attributable to increased operating expenses.
Backlog of signed agreements, as of March 31, 2011, was at $202 million, including $68 million of revenues expected to be recognized during the remainder of 2011, compared to a backlog of $188 at the end of the previous quarter.
Net income on a GAAP basis for the first quarter of 2011 was $0.9 million compared with $1.4 million in the previous quarter and $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. Net income in the first quarter of 2011 included financial expenses relating to embedded derivatives amounting to $1.0 million. Net income per share on a fully diluted basis under GAAP for the quarter was $0.05, compared with $0.08 in the previous quarter and $0.24 in the first quarter of 2010.
Adjusted net income was $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2011, compared with $1.1 million in the previous quarter and $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2010. Adjusted net income per share on a fully diluted basis totaled $0.10 in the first quarter of 2011, compared with $0.06 in the previous quarter and $0.15 in the first quarter of 2010.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2011 totaled $4.0 million, compared with $2.9 million in the previous quarter and $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2010.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2011 totaled $30.1 million, compared with $35.6 million as of December 31, 2010. The decrease in the cash balance is attributed to a $6.5 million capital expenditure, mainly for investments in strategic infrastructure and $2.6 million in dividends distributed in the first quarter of 2011, offset by a positive operating cash flow of $3.5 million.
Guidance for revenue in the second quarter of 2011 is in the range of $26 - $28 million and for full year 2011 remains in the range of $105 - $110 million. Guidance for gross margin in the second quarter of 2011 is set at 23 – 25%.
David Rivel, CEO of RRsat commented, "We have seen some important developments this past quarter. We secured 14 net new contracts, increasing our broadcast to over 600 TV and radio channels and boosting our backlog to a record $202 million. We also announced the implementation of a new MCPC (Multi Channel Per Carrier) platform which will cater to the high growth markets in Latin America, using the downlink, uplink, space segment, and playout services from our broadcasting center in Hawley, Pennsylvania. In addition, we have further built upon our relationships with current customers, such as offering them the first 24/7 3D TV services. As we continue to expand our presence, increase our customer base, and grow along with current customers, we believe 2011 will see improvements from the previous year."
Mr. Rivel continued, "We remain on track to positioning RRsat among the leading global content management providers and distributors."

Use of Non- GAAP Financial Measures
RRsat uses two financial measures, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. RRsat believes that both non-GAAP financial measures are principal indicators of the operating and financial performance of its business. Adjusted net income is calculated based on the net income in our financial statements excluding non-cash equity-based compensation charges recorded in accordance with SFAS 123R, the non-cash income (loss) reflecting changes in the fair value of embedded currency conversion derivatives resulting from the application of SFAS 133 and the resulting income tax (increase) decrease. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by deducting from net income interest and marketable securities income, currency fluctuation and other financial income (expenses), net, changes in fair value of embedded currency conversion derivatives, other income (expenses), net, and adding non-cash equity-based compensation charge, depreciation and amortization. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures (adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA) provided are useful to investors' understanding and assessment of RRsat's on-going core operations and prospects for the future. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to evaluate the performance of the company. However, such measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, RRsat's adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to adjusted EBITDA as reported by other companies.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures (adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA) to net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, are provided in the schedules attached to this release.
