Management Comment

Erez Antebi, President & CEO of Allot, commented: "We are very pleased with our performance in the second quarter and are confident we are on our way to achieve the goals we set for 2021. The revolution of shifting cybersecurity responsibility from the individual to the CSP is growing worldwide and gaining momentum. This is evidenced by growth in several directions: In the number of CSPs that are engaging with us; in the number of operators that contract with us; and in the number of consumers signing up for cybersecurity protection once the operator launches the service. I am very proud that Allot is the technology company leading this revolution."

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

Non-GAAP net income is defined as GAAP net income after excluding stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, deferred tax asset adjustment, exchange rate differences related to revaluation of assets and liabilities denominated in non-dollar currencies and other acquisition-related expenses.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP results and a full reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying Table 2. The Company provides these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they present a better measure of the Company's core business and management uses the non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the Company's ongoing performance. Accordingly, the Company believes they are useful to investors in enhancing an understanding of the Company's operating performance.
