PETAH TIKVA, Israel, Aug. 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq:GILT) (TASE:GILT), a worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, solutions and services, today reported its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were $85.3 million, compared to $81.7 million for the same period in 2011. On a GAAP basis, operating income for the second quarter of 2012 was $2.4 million compared to an operating income of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2011. Net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $0.9 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, and was approximately the same in the second quarter of 2011.

On a non-GAAP basis, operating income for the second quarter of 2012 was $4.8 million compared to an operating income of $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2011. On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the period was $3.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the comparable period in 2011.

EBITDA for the second quarter of 2012 reached $8.6 million compared with $6.6 million in the comparable period in 2011.

"We are pleased with this quarter's results and are optimistic about our prospects going forward," stated Erez Antebi, Chief Executive Officer of Gilat. "Our Commercial Division continues to perform well and our Defense Division has started gaining traction both within the U.S. and in the global markets."

"We saw a pick-up in our satellite-on-the-move business this quarter with new customer sales of our RaySat antennas in Russia, China, Israel and Mexico. We also received Commercial FAA Certification for our Wavestream Aerostream Transceiver earlier in the year and closed several deals with leading system integrators who provide satellite broadband services to commercial airlines and luxury cruise ships."

"Operationally," added Mr. Antebi, "we generated cash from operations this quarter. As our ongoing organizational changes bear fruit, we have begun to realize improved efficiencies and reduced operational expenses. Based on the solid pipeline we have developed, we expect the momentum of this quarter to continue into the second half of the year."

Notes:

(1) The attached summary financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The attached summary financial statements are unaudited. To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company presents Gilat's EBITDA before the impact of non-cash share-based payment charges, depreciation and amortization, other income and other costs related to acquisition transactions. Non-GAAP presentations of net income, EBITDA and earnings per share are provided to enhance the understanding of the Company's historical financial performance and comparability between periods.

(2) Operating income before depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock option expenses as per ASC 718 (formerly SFAS 123(R)) and other costs related to acquisition transactions ('EBITDA') is presented because it is a measure commonly used and is presented solely in order to improve the understanding of the Company's operating results and to provide further perspective on these results. EBITDA, however, should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income for the period as an indicator of the operating performance of the Company.

Similarly, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. EBITDA may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. Reconciliation between the Company's Operating income and EBITDA is presented in the attached summary financial statements.
