Management Comment

Eyal Harari, CEO of Allot, commented, "We are pleased to report a strong start to 2026, with revenues increasing 14% year-over-year, marking our third consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth. Our success was driven by a robust expansion in our cybersecurity business, resulting in meaningful improvements in margins and profit, as well as record operating cash flow."

Mr. Harari continued, "Our cybersecurity segment remains the primary engine of growth and drove Recurring Revenues** to over 67% of total revenue in the quarter. Strong organic growth in SECaaS revenues and ARR reflects increasing adoption of telco-provided cybersecurity services powered by Allot and provides us with strong visibility into continued double-digit growth for the full year."

Concluded Mr. Harari, "Looking ahead, we reaffirm our 2026 revenue guidance of $113 million to $117 million, with continued profitability improvements throughout the year. Following a strong first quarter we feel increasingly confident toward the upper end of that range and furthermore, we now have the strong visibility ahead to predict 40% or more SECaaS revenue growth in 2026."

Performance Metrics

** Recuring Revenues - measures the current recurring support & maintenance revenues, plus the current SECaaS recuring revenues.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation:

The Company presents non–GAAP financial measures that adjust GAAP results to exclude items that management considers not reflective of the Company's ongoing operational performance. Non-GAAP gross profit is defined as GAAP gross profit excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and acquisition–related expenses. Non-GAAP operating income is defined as GAAP net operating excluding primarily share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and acquisition–related expenses. Non-GAAP net income is defined as GAAP net income excluding primarily share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition–related and other non–recurring expenses, financial income or expenses related to exchange rate differences and changes in tax-related items.

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 presented below. 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.
