- GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $1.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, versus a GAAP Net Income of $0.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009.

Shuky Sheffer, Chief Executive Officer of Retalix, said, "My first three months as CEO of Retalix were a productive and busy time. We are executing on our plan, including leveraging the strengths of the Company, ensuring quality delivery, aligning our operations with the opportunities we see in the market, and beginning to build our Services offering. We are engaging our customers, and during the first quarter we are announcing two new customer wins, including an important new customer in EMEA. We are recruiting for key areas of our business designed to ensure a solid 2010 and build operations to carry Retalix to the next level."
Hugo Goldman, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, said, "We had a solid first quarter showing improvements in total revenues, net income and non-GAAP net income versus both the fourth quarter of 2009 and the year ago first quarter. We generated $1.4 million in cash flow from operations, after the realignment and severance expenses during the first quarter. Our focus on collections helped us to improve our Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and our balance sheet remains very strong, with approximately $105 million in cash & cash equivalents, deposits and marketable securities and negligible debt."
Outlook for FY 2010
Sheffer added, "Retalix serves a large, transforming market seeking the tools to address shoppers in a personalized way, across multiple channels, while at the same time driving operational efficiency and taking costs out of their businesses. Retalix offers innovative, demand driven solutions and has the skill set and domain knowledge to effectively address retailers' challenges. While retailers remain cautious in the current economic environment, through our discussions with our customers we see that there is interest and demand for our products and services.
"Our current performance along with what we hear from our customers gives us a level of comfort that we can reiterate the guidance we issued in March for FY 2010. Retalix continues to expect full year 2010 revenues to be between $195 million and $210 million, with similar profitability as in 2009."
