Radware Plans to Reactivate its Stock Repurchase Program

TEL AVIV, Israel, July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
    * Quarterly revenues of $24.0 million
    ** GAAP loss per share $0.36, Non-GAAP loss per share $0.25
    Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR), the leading provider of integrated application
delivery solutions for business-smart networking, today reported quarterly
revenues of $24.0 million for the second quarter of 2008. This represents an
increase of 12% compared with revenues of $21.5 million for the second
quarter of 2007 and an increase of 8% compared to revenues of $22.2 million
for the first quarter of 2008.
    Net loss on a GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2008 was $7.1 million
or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $8.3 million or $0.42
per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008 and to a net loss of $4
million or $0.21 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2007.
    Net loss on a non-GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2008 was $5.0
million or $0.25 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $6.3 million
or $0.32 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008 and to a net loss of
$2.4 million or $0.12 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2007.
Non-GAAP results exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expense and
amortization of intangible assets and acquisition related expenses.
    During the second quarter, the continued devaluation of the US dollar
against the Israeli Shekel, the Euro, the Australian dollar and Asian
currencies resulted in an increase in operating expenses of $0.8 million
compared to the first quarter 2008. This increase was off-set by a decrease
in expenses derived from cutting operational costs.
    At the end of the second quarter 2008 the company's overall cash
position, including cash, short-term and long-term bank deposits and
marketable securities totaled an amount of $148.6 million.
    "The strategic and tactical plans set forth in the first quarter are
proving to be successful and are enabling Radware to make real headway in the
ADC market," said Roy Zisapel, President & CEO of Radware. "With the
introduction of APSolute Immunity, our new security strategy and key
partnerships such as joining Juniper Networks J-Partnership program as a
major application delivery solutions provider, we are well positioned for
continued growth in the next quarters."
    Management's expectation is to reach an annual growth rate in the mid to
high teens and return to operating profitability by the fourth quarter of
2008.
    Radware further announced that it plans to reactivate its stock
repurchase program. Purchases under Radware's stock repurchase program may be
made in the open market or in private transactions, from time to time,
through block trades or otherwise. These purchases, including scope and price
limits, will depend on market conditions and other factors and may be
commenced or suspended at any time without prior notice. The Company's
current intention is to implement the repurchase program in accordance with
the safe harbor rules of Rule 10b-18 under the US Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
    As of July 21 2008, Radware had approximately 20 million shares
outstanding.
    During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, Radware released the following

123R, and amortization of intangible assets and acquisition related expenses.
Radware's management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in

substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of
the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial
information contained in this press release. Management uses both GAAP and
non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as
