RRsat Global Communications Network Ltd. (Nasdaq: RRST), a growing provider of comprehensive content management and global distribution services to the television and radio broadcasting industries, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2010.
Second Quarter 2010 Results:
Revenues for the second quarter of 2010 totaled $25.7 million, an increase of 14.2% compared to $22.5 million in the second quarter of 2009.
Gross Profit for the second quarter of 2010 totaled $7.5 million representing gross margins of 29.1%, rising 2.7% from $7.3 million in the second quarter of the previous year.
Operating income for the second quarter of 2010 totaled $3.7 million, representing operating margins of 14.6%, compared to $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2009.
Backlog of signed agreements, as of June 30, 2010, was at $166.9 million, including $41.1 million of revenues expected to be recognized in the remainder of 2010, compared to a backlog of $165.2 at the end of the previous quarter. The weakness of the Euro versus the US Dollar resulted in a decrease of $5.2 million, which was offset by an increase of new contracts and an extension of existing contracts.
Net income on a GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2010 was $2.5 million compared to $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2009. Adjusted Net Income was $2.2 million for the quarter, compared to $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. Net income per diluted share on a GAAP basis for the quarter was $0.14, compared to $0.17 in the second quarter of 2009. Adjusted net income per diluted share, totaled $0.12, compared to $0.24 in the second quarter of 2009.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2010 totaled $5.4 million, compared to $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2009.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as at June 30, 2010 was $40.8 million, compared with $40.1 million as at March 31, 2010. The difference in the cash balance was mainly attributed to a positive operating cash flow of $4.5m and $3.7 million invested in capital expenditures.
Dividend Distribution: On August 4, 2010, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.15 per ordinary share, and in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.6 million. The dividend will be payable on September 1, 2010 to all of the Company's shareholders of record at the end of the trading day on the NASDAQ on August 16, 2010. According to the Israeli tax law, the Company will withhold at source, 20% of the dividend amount payable to each shareholder, subject to applicable exemptions. The Company's dividend policy is described in detail in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Guidance for third quarter revenue is in the range of $25 - $26 million. For 2010, guidance has been adjusted to reflect the weakness of the Euro and is in the range of $102 - $105 million.
David Rivel, CEO of RRsat, commented, "This quarter we reported solid results and profitability despite external factors such as weakness in the Euro. We also made some significant advances in our strategy to expand into key markets. We recently signed a ten-year strategic alliance agreement with BT's media and broadcast division. This exciting partnership will enable both companies to grow their global media business by leveraging RRsat's world-class content management and global distribution services with BT's Global brand and fiber optic network. In addition, we have succeeded in further penetrating the US market by adding 13 US television channels for US-targeted broadcasting using our Galaxy 19 satellite platform. Many of these channels were existing customers for their international broadcasting services that expanded their services with us.
Mr. Rivel added, "As we continue to pursue our strategy of becoming the largest distribution and play-out service for content providers, we intend to continue to demonstrate solid results while producing positive developments to achieve our goals."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
RRsat uses two financial measures, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. RRsat believes that both non-GAAP financial measures are principal indicators of the operating and financial performance of its business. 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 SFAS 123R, the non-cash income (loss) reflecting changes in the fair value of embedded currency conversion derivatives resulting from the application of SFAS 133 and the resulting income tax (increase) decrease. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by deducting from net income interest and marketable securities income, currency fluctuation and other financial income (expenses), net, changes in fair value of embedded currency conversion derivatives, other income (expenses), net, and adding non-cash equity-based compensation charge, depreciation and amortization. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures (adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA) provided are useful to investors' understanding and assessment of RRsat's on-going core operations and prospects for the future. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to evaluate the performance of the company. However, such measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, RRsat's adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to adjusted EBITDA as reported by other companies.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures (adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA) to net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, are provided in the schedules attached to this release.
