Operating income for the first quarter of 2012 totaled $2.0 million, representing an operating margin of 7.1%, compared with $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2011, representing an operating margin of 7.4%. Operating income in the previous quarter totaled $2.4 million, representing an operating margin of 8.5%.
Net income on a GAAP basis for the first quarter of 2012 was $2.3 million, compared with $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2011 and $1.6 million in the previous quarter. Fully diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis for the first quarter of 2012 was $0.13, compared with $0.05 in the first quarter of 2011 and $0.09 in the previous quarter.

David Rivel, CEO of RRsat commented, "As we noted in the fourth quarter 2011 conference call, our first quarter results were mainly impacted by the ending of a large TV project which reduced our revenues compared with the previous quarter and resulted in excess capacity that had a negative impact on our margins. However, we are seeing a healthy contract pipe line and expect to be back to sequential growth and better gross margins by the second quarter. As anticipated, we are also seeing a reduction in our capital expenditures level and this will continue to have a positive impact on our free cash flow."
Mr. Rivel continued, "We otherwise had some positive activities at the Company during the quarter including the activation of five new services, with each contract worth over one million dollars. We also announced the extension of our contract with the Vietnam TV channel for global distribution, as well as signing a contract with ETV, one of India's largest networks of satellite TV channels. We are expanding our presence in the ever growing sports market, having signed an agreement with international sports broadcaster, Setanta, for the distribution of a Russian version of its sports channel across Russian speaking countries. And finally, we extended our contract with Baby TV, which is part of FOX International, a major broadcaster. Looking ahead to 2012, I believe we are on track with our strategy and 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 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.
