Management Comment

Erez Antebi, President & CEO of Allot, commented, "While our third quarter ended as we had expected, we are obviously striving to achieve much more in the future. I am very proud that Verizon selected Allot to enable network-based security services for their SMB customers. I believe that this decision by Verizon proves that network-based security is becoming a significant part of the offering for operators."

Continued Mr. Antebi, "We remain committed to reach profitability for the full year 2024. This will be achieved via revenue growth, mainly through the SECaaS business, but also through tight expense control. We also expect our loss in 2023 to be significantly lower than in 2022. I continue to strongly believe in the potential for our SECaaS solution for protecting consumers as well as its ability to bring Allot into a new era of growth and profitability."

Performance Metrics

* Total ARR - Support & Maintenance ARR (measures the current annual run rate of support & maintenance revenues, which is calculated based on these expected revenues in the fourth quarter and multiplied by 4) and SECaaS ARR (measures the current annual run rate of the SECaaS revenues, which is calculated based on these expected revenues in the month of December and multiplied by 12).

** MAR (maximum annual revenue potential of concluded transactions) was estimated by Allot upon transaction signature and constitutes an approximation of the theoretical annual revenues Allot would receive if 100% of the applicable customer segments only subscribers, as estimated by Allot, signed up for the service.

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 and changes in taxes 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 is 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.
