Cyren Reports 2016 Third Quarter Financial Results
Quarterly Revenue Up 14% Year Over Year
MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyren (NASDAQ: CYRN) today announced its third quarter 2016 financial results for the period ending September 30, 2016.
"Cyren continued its strong momentum from the second quarter to deliver very solid third quarter results, translating to 14% year-over-year revenue growth, and the fifth straight quarter of increasing revenue," said Lior Samuelson, CEO and Chairman of the Board at Cyren. "Our investments in our enhanced cloud platform and sales and marketing are starting to have a significant impact as we receive more orders from enterprise customers for our SaaS security products, Cyren WebSecurity (CWS) and Cyren EmailSecurity (CES). Our embedded Threat Intelligence Services continue to generate a steady, reliable revenue stream and provide a massive amount of cyber-threat data, which improves our detection and prevention for all of our partners and enterprise customers."
In recent months, Cyren continued to demonstrate its leadership in the detection of advanced and unknown malware. The company was among the first to detect a new phishing attack variant that originated in the form of a Bitcoin-related pay-per-click advertising link using Google Adwords. The Cyren Security Lab continues to track Locky ransomware – identifying new encrypted downloads, new distribution methods (Microsoft Word macros and SWF files), and new payload delivery methods (executable malware and javascript). See more details on the Cyren blog at http://blog.cyren.com.
Cyren also released a special online Web Security Diagnostic tool. Designed for use by SMB and enterprise prospects, the tool allows web site visitors to easily check the efficacy of their existing web security solution in less than 30 seconds. The free online diagnostic tool tests for vulnerability to six common attack methods used by hackers to penetrate an organization's protection.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude: stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, executive termination costs, deferred taxes and deferred revenues related to acquisitions, one-time settlement agreements, reorganization expenses, adjustments to earn-out obligations and capitalization of technology. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of the company's performance exclusive of non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of the company's core operating results. The company's non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Company management regularly uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the business and make operating decisions.
These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. The company believes this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of the business. The company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide consistent and comparable measures to help investors understand the company's current and future operating cash flow performance. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Income. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when evaluating the business internally and therefore felt it important to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors.
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including projections about the company's business, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For example, statements in the future tense, and statements including words such as "expect," "plan," "estimate," "anticipate," or "believe" are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on information available at the time of the press release and the company assumes no obligation to update any of them. The statements in this press release are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from current expectations as a result of numerous factors, including business conditions and growth or deterioration in the internet security market, technological developments, products offered by competitors, availability of qualified staff, and technological difficulties and resource constraints encountered in developing new products, as well as those risks described in the company's Annual Reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K, which are available through www.sec.gov.
