Fourth Quarter 2011 Results:

compared with $25.8 million in the
fourth quarter of 2010 and an increase of 0.6% compared with

quarter.
Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled
$6.9 million, compared with
$5.5 million in the fourth quarter of
2010 and $6.4 million in the previous
quarter. Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2011 was
23.8%, compared with 21.2% in the same quarter last year and 22.3%
in the previous quarter.
Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled
$2.4 million, representing an
operating margin of 8.5%, compared with $1.1
million in the fourth quarter of 2010, representing an
operating margin of 4.4%. Operating income in the previous
quarter totaled $1.8 million,
representing an operating margin of 6.4%.
Net income on a GAAP basis for the fourth quarter of 2011
was $1.6 million, compared with
$1.4 million in the fourth quarter of
2010 and a loss of $0.2 million in
the previous quarter. Net income per share on a fully
diluted basis under GAAP for the fourth quarter of 2011 was
$0.09, compared with $0.08 in the fourth quarter of 2010 and a net
loss per share of $0.01 in the
previous quarter.
Adjusted net income totaled $1.5
million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with
$1.1 million in the fourth quarter of
2010 and $0.8 million in the previous
quarter. Adjusted net income per share on a fully
diluted basis totaled $0.09 in the
fourth quarter of 2011, compared with $0.07 in the fourth quarter of 2010 and
$0.05 in the previous quarter.
As described in more detail below under the header "Use of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures," commencing this quarter our
calculation of adjusted net income also excludes non-cash expenses
resulting from amortization of acquired intangible assets.
Comparable period results that are included in this report were
adjusted accordingly.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled
$4.9 million, compared with
$2.9 million in the fourth quarter of
2010 and $4.0 million in the previous
quarter.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of
December 31, 2011 totaled
$33.2 million, an increase of
$4.5 million compared with
$28.7 million as of September 30, 2011. The net increase in the
cash balance is mainly attributable to a positive cash flow from
operating activities of $6.2 million
less capital expenditures of $1.8
million.
Backlog of signed agreements, as of December 31, 2011, totaled $194 million, including $86.6 million of revenues expected to be
recognized during 2012, compared with a backlog of $195 million at the end of the previous quarter.
Exchange rates changes in the fourth quarter had a negative
$3 million impact on the backlog
level.
Full Year 2011 Results
Revenues for the full year ended 2011 totaled a record
$112.9 million, an increase of 10.7%,
compared with $102.0 million in 2010.
Operating income for 2011 totaled $8.8 million, compared with $10.5 million in 2010. Net income on a GAAP
basis for 2011 totaled $4.3
million, compared with $8.7
million in 2010. Adjusted EBITDA for 2011 totaled
$17.4 million, compared with
$17.3 million in 2010.
Adjusted net income for 2011 totaled $6.3 million, compared with $8.4 million in 2010.
Guidance for revenue in the first quarter of 2012 is in
the range of $27.5 - $28.5 million,
and for full year 2012 in the range of $115
- $121 million. Guidance for gross margin in the first
quarter of 2012 is 21.5-23.5%. The first quarter guidance is
mainly a result of the ending of a large TV project. We anticipate
being back on track in the second quarter of 2012.
David Rivel, CEO of RRsat
commented, "We finished 2011 on a positive note, with a record
$113 million in revenues despite
challenging economic conditions. In light of the challenges
we experienced over the past 18 months, and following the
improvements we implemented, I believe that the Company is now
better positioned and I feel confident looking forward to 2012 and
beyond."
Mr. Rivel continued, "We recently signed a few key
contracts, among them, with a new client to broadcast the KHL, the
Russian Ice Hockey League, across Europe and the Middle East, expanding our presence in the
growing sports broadcast market. We have expanded our
relationship with current client, Nickelodeon, adding playout
services to their station, NickJunior. We are also now
offering uplink and playout services to Tempo, a leading US based
Caribbean music company, which
will be broadcast across the Americas, the Caribbean and Western Europe. Looking forward to 2012, we
expect our capital expenditures to decrease, which will likely have
a positive impact on our free cash flow. In addition, we plan
to expand our direct sales to North
America, Africa, and
Asia, thus working towards our
goal of offering superior services to a larger group of customers,
including major television networks."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the GAAP results included in this press release,
RRsat has also included non-GAAP measurements of results. RRsat
uses three financial measures, adjusted net income, adjusted net
income per share and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial
measures. RRsat believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are
principal indicators of the operating and financial performance of
its business. We have provided these non-GAAP measurements to help
investors better understand our core operating performance and
enhance comparisons of core operating performance from period to
period.
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 FASB ASC Topic 718, non-cash
expense resulting from amortization of acquired intangible assets,
non-cash income (loss) reflecting changes in the fair value of
embedded currency conversion derivatives resulting from the
application of FASB ASC Topic 815 and the resulting income tax
(increase) decrease of the above items.
The adjustment for amortization of acquired intangible assets is
included by us in this report for the first time. Comparable prior
period results that are included in this report were adjusted
accordingly. The company has excluded intangible assets
amortization expense from its non-GAAP net income measurements,
primarily because it represents a significant non-cash expense and
because the company evaluates its performance excluding intangible
assets amortization expense. Amortization of intangible assets is
consistent in amount and frequency but is significantly affected by
the timing and size of the company's acquisitions. Investors should
note that the use of intangible assets contributed to the Company's
revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to
the Company's future period revenues as well. Intangible assets
amortization expense will recur in future periods.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding to operating income,
non-cash equity-based compensation charge, depreciation and
amortization. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to
assess its operational performance, for financial and operational
decision-making, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period
comparisons on a consistent basis. Management believes that these
non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental
information regarding the Company's performance by excluding
certain non-cash expenses that are not directly attributable to its
core operating results.
The non-GAAP measurements are intended only as a supplement to
the comparable GAAP measurements and the company compensates for
the limitations inherent in the use of non-GAAP measurements by
using GAAP measures in conjunction with the non-GAAP measurements.
As a result, investors should consider these non-GAAP measurements
in addition to, and not in substitution for, or as superior to,
measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with
GAAP.
The Company expects to continue reporting non-GAAP financial
measures, adjusting for the items described above, and the Company
expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-cash,
non-GAAP adjustments described above. Accordingly, the exclusion of
these and other similar items in the presentation of non-GAAP
financial measures should not be construed as an inference that
these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Moreover,
because not all companies use identical measures and calculations,
the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per
share and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly
titled measures of other companies. These limitations are
compensated for by using adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA in
conjunction with traditional GAAP financial measures.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures (adjusted net income
and adjusted EBITDA) to the most comparable GAAP measures (net
income and operating income respectively), are provided in the
schedules attached to this release.
