ended June 30, 2012.
Second Quarter
2012 Results
Revenues in the second quarter of 2012 totaled
$28.1 million, compared with
$28.5 million in the second quarter
of 2011 and a sequential increase of 2.2% compared with
$27.5 million in the previous
quarter. The strengthening of the US Dollar versus the Euro
during the 12 months period ended June
2012 had a negative impact of approximately $1 million to the Company's revenue in the
quarter compared to the second quarter of 2011.
Gross profit in the second quarter of 2012 totaled
$6.7 million, compared with
$6.6 million in the second quarter of
2011 and $6.1 million in the previous
quarter. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2012 was
23.8%, compared with 23.0% in the second quarter of 2011 and 22.3%
in the previous quarter.
Operating income for the second quarter of 2012 totaled
$2.5 million, compared with
$2.5 million in the second quarter of
2011 and $2.0 million in the previous
quarter. Operating margin in the second quarter of 2012 was 8.8%,
compared with 8.7% in the second quarter of 2011 and 7.1% in the
previous quarter.
Net income on a GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2012
was $1.1 million, compared with
$2.1 million in the second quarter of
2011 and $2.3 million in the previous
quarter. Net income per share on a fully diluted basis
under GAAP for the second quarter of 2012 was $0.07, compared with $0.12 in the second quarter of 2011 and
$0.13 in the previous quarter. Net
income was negatively affected by the strengthening of the US
Dollar versus the Euro and Israeli shekel which increased financial
expenses and income tax during the second quarter.
Adjusted net income totaled $1.5
million for the second quarter of 2012, compared with
$2.3 million in the second quarter of
2011 and $1.9 million in the previous
quarter. Adjusted net income per share on a fully
diluted basis totaled $0.08 in the
second quarter of 2012, compared with $0.13 in the second quarter of 2011 and
$0.11 in the previous quarter.
Adjusted net income was negatively affected by the strengthening of
the US Dollar versus the Euro and Israeli shekel which increased
financial expenses and income tax during the second quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2012 totaled
$4.8 million, compared with
$4.5 million in the second quarter of
2011 and $4.2 million in the previous
quarter.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of
June 30, 2012 totaled $34.2 million compared with $34.4 million as of March
31, 2012. The change in cash position during the quarter was
mainly attributable to a positive operating cash flow of
$4.6 million, capital expenditure of
$0.9 million and a dividend payment
to shareholders of $4.0 million.
Backlog of signed agreements, as of June 30, 2012, totaled $193 million, compared with a backlog of
$194 million at the end of the
previous quarter. Exchange rates changes in the second
quarter had a negative impact of $3
million on the backlog level.
Guidance
Guidance for the third quarter of 2012 calls for sequential
revenue growth, with revenues coming in the range of $28.2 - $29.2 million. For the full year of 2012,
revenues are expected to be in the range of $112 - $115 million. Management expects similar
gross margin in the third quarter.
Dividend
Distribution
On August 8, 2012, the Board of
Directors declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.10 per ordinary share, and in the aggregate
amount of approximately $1.7 million.
The dividend will be payable on September 5,
2012 to all of the Company's shareholders of record at the
end of the trading day on the NASDAQ on August 20, 2012.
In accordance with Israeli tax law, the Company will withhold
25% of the dividend amount payable to each shareholder at source,
subject to applicable exemptions. The Company's dividend policy is
described in detail in its most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F
for the year ended December 31,
2011.
Management
Comment
Shlomo Shamir, Chairman of
RRsat commented, "The second quarter showed improvement in many
parameters, particularly in the margins which reached their highest
levels in two years. We met our top line targets in the quarter and
we grew our revenues sequentially, despite significant negative
currency effects. Most significantly our capital expenditures have
substantially declined compared with last year. This has had a very
positive impact and has allowed us to generate almost $10 million in free cash flow in the past 9
months since our major infrastructure investments ended. Given our
strong backlog, we maintain good visibility into the coming
quarters even against the background of a weaker global economy.
Finally, after the close of the second quarter, we welcomed
Avi Cohen to RRsat as the new CEO,
replacing David Rivel. I very much
look forward to Avi's contributions in the coming quarters and I
would like to thank David for leading RRsat's growth and
development over the many years."
Avi Cohen, CEO of RRsat
commented, "I am privileged to join RRsat and impressed by the
people, technical capabilities and state-of-the-art infrastructure.
While there are always business challenges, I believe RRsat is in a
strong position to leverage its infrastructure to capture and
develop new business. I look forward to working with this talented
team, at a company with such potential."

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.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by
adding to operating income, non-cash equity-based compensation
charge, depreciation and amortization.
The company has excluded intangible
assets amortization expense from its non-GAAP net income and EBITDA
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.
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.
