Management Comment
Andrei Elefant, President & CEO of Allot Communications, commented, "Early in July we have implemented an internal re-organization encompassing the entire company in order to better align our organizational and cost structure to our strategy of increased focus on our security and monetization solutions and on profitability. We have now consolidated all our R&D efforts under one unit and have focused our sales and marketing efforts in the more profitable regions and products, in order to achieve increased profitability. This move also brings with it significant cost reductions which will support our profitability targets throughout this transition period."
Continued Mr. Elefant, "In terms of Bookings, the second quarter was weaker than expected, mainly due to lower sales in APAC and the Americas. We had originally expected to receive substantial orders this year from certain customers in APAC and we now believe that these orders are more likely to be received next year. As a result, our business so far in 2016 has been comprised of smaller and more diversified orders. We, therefore, have lowered our budget and expectations for the remainder of the year. Despite the lower than expected level of revenues, thanks to our ongoing and significant cost reductions, we have achieved profitability on a non-GAAP basis and we expect further improvement in our operating expenses level throughout the remainder of the year."
"On the positive side, we have seen a number of important developments in the past few months which are strategically significant," added Mr. Elefant. "We signed a strategic partnership agreement with a leading security company, enabling both companies to offer a unique SECaaS offering, which we believe represents a significant opportunity for us over the coming years. In addition, the progress and traction made so far this year in the security segment is very encouraging, as existing customers are continuously adding licenses. We have reached a Security as a Service subscriber base of 15 million, up 50% in only 6 months. "
2016 Outlook
Based on current backlog and the Company's funnel of opportunities, the Company updated its 2016 guidance. Revenues are expected in the range of $90-$94 million for the full year of 2016, both on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. The Company also expects to incur a one-time restructuring cost of approximately $1M in the second half of 2016.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation:
The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenues is related to the acquisitions made by the Company and represents revenues adjusted for the impact of the fair value adjustment to acquired deferred revenue related to purchase accounting. Non-GAAP net income is defined as GAAP net income after including deferred revenues related to the fair value adjustment resulting from purchase accounting and excluding stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, deferred tax asset adjustment and 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 are 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.
