Fourth Quarter 2011 Results:
Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled a record $28.8 million, an 11.6% increase compared with $25.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and an increase of 0.6% compared with $28.6 million in the previous quarter.
Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled $6.9 million, compared with $5.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $6.4 million in the previous quarter. Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2011 was 23.8%, compared with 21.2% in the same quarter last year and 22.3% in the previous quarter.
Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled $2.4 million, representing an operating margin of 8.5%, compared with $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, representing an operating margin of 4.4%. Operating income in the previous quarter totaled $1.8 million, representing an operating margin of 6.4%.
Net income on a GAAP basis for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $1.6 million, compared with $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and a loss of $0.2 million in the previous quarter. Net income per share on a fully diluted basis under GAAP for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $0.09, compared with $0.08 in the fourth quarter of 2010 and a net loss per share of $0.01 in the previous quarter.
Adjusted net income totaled $1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $0.8 million in the previous quarter. Adjusted net income per share on a fully diluted basis totaled $0.09 in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with $0.07 in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $0.05 in the previous quarter. As described in more detail below under the header "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures," commencing this quarter our calculation of adjusted net income also excludes non-cash expenses resulting from amortization of acquired intangible assets. Comparable period results that are included in this report were adjusted accordingly.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled $4.9 million, compared with $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $4.0 million in the previous quarter.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2011 totaled $33.2 million, an increase of $4.5 million compared with $28.7 million as of September 30, 2011. The net increase in the cash balance is mainly attributable to a positive cash flow from operating activities of $6.2 million less capital expenditures of $1.8 million.
Backlog of signed agreements, as of December 31, 2011, totaled $194 million, including $86.6 million of revenues expected to be recognized during 2012, compared with a backlog of $195 million at the end of the previous quarter. Exchange rates changes in the fourth quarter had a negative $3 million impact on the backlog level.
Full Year 2011 Results
Revenues for the full year ended 2011 totaled a record $112.9 million, an increase of 10.7%, compared with $102.0 million in 2010. Operating income for 2011 totaled $8.8 million, compared with $10.5 million in 2010. Net income on a GAAP basis for 2011 totaled $4.3 million, compared with $8.7 million in 2010. Adjusted EBITDA for 2011 totaled $17.4 million, compared with $17.3 million in 2010. Adjusted net income for 2011 totaled $6.3 million, compared with $8.4 million in 2010.
Guidance for revenue in the first quarter of 2012 is in the range of $27.5 - $28.5 million, and for full year 2012 in the range of $115 - $121 million. Guidance for gross margin in the first quarter of 2012 is 21.5-23.5%. The first quarter guidance is mainly a result of the ending of a large TV project. We anticipate being back on track in the second quarter of 2012.
David Rivel, CEO of RRsat commented, "We finished 2011 on a positive note, with a record $113 million in revenues despite challenging economic conditions. In light of the challenges we experienced over the past 18 months, and following the improvements we implemented, I believe that the Company is now better positioned and I feel confident looking forward to 2012 and beyond."
Mr. Rivel continued, "We recently signed a few key contracts, among them, with a new client to broadcast the KHL, the Russian Ice Hockey League, across Europe and the Middle East, expanding our presence in the growing sports broadcast market. We have expanded our relationship with current client, Nickelodeon, adding playout services to their station, NickJunior. We are also now offering uplink and playout services to Tempo, a leading US based Caribbean music company, which will be broadcast across the Americas, the Caribbean and Western Europe. Looking forward to 2012, we expect our capital expenditures to decrease, which will likely have a positive impact on our free cash flow. In addition, we plan to expand our direct sales to North America, Africa, and Asia, thus working towards our 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 adjustment for amortization of acquired intangible assets is included by us in this report for the first time. Comparable prior period results that are included in this report were adjusted accordingly. 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.
