Retalix Announces Third Quarter 2010 Results

Growth in All Major Parameters vs Q3 2009: Revenues, Income From Operations (Non-GAAP), Net Income, and Cash Flow; Cash and Cash Equivalents About $120 Million While Retalix Continues Building Its Growth Engines


RA'ANANA, Israel, Nov. 18, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Retalix® Ltd. (Nasdaq:RTLX), a leading provider of Software and Services for retailers and distributors, announced today results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Summarized financial highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2010:

  • Total Revenues were $52.9 million, compared to $50.1 million in the third quarter of 2009.
     
  • Adjusted Income from Operations (Non-GAAP)* was $5.3 million, compared to $4.9 million in the third quarter of 2009.
     
  • Income from Operations (GAAP) was $3.4 million, compared to $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2009. 
     
  • Financial Income was $2.7 million compared to a financial income of $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2009. Included in the financial income is higher interest income in 2010, the impact of currency fluctuations on the Company's non-dollar assets and the value of the Company's forward currency transactions.
     
  • Adjusted Net Income (Non-GAAP)* was $6.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to $5.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009. The per share calculation includes an increase in the weighted diluted shares outstanding to 24.2 million for the quarter versus 20.4 million shares in the third quarter of 2009 reflecting a private placement completed in November 2009.
     
  • GAAP Net Income was $4.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, versus a GAAP Net Income of $4.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009. The per share figures again reflect the increase in shares outstanding mentioned above. 
     
  • Cash Flow from Operating Activities generated $13.3 million during the third quarter of 2010, including $7.5 million related to a tax refund.
     
  • Balance Sheet grew to about $120 million in cash and cash equivalents, deposits and marketable securities with negligible debt as of September 30, 2010.

Shuky Sheffer, Chief Executive Officer of Retalix, said, "We again achieved growth in total revenues and maintained our level of profitability while continuing to build our growth engines. We are winning new clients and successfully delivering programs to our customers while also focusing on building our demand-driven products for the store platform and supply chain. We are rolling out new unique service offerings designed to leverage our domain expertise and provide distinct advantages to our customers. Last week we hosted our largest and most successful users' conference in the history of Retalix. We shared with our customers, partners and leading industry analysts our view of the markets and our strategy for the future and received very positive feedback about our direction."

Hugo Goldman, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, said, "We had solid financial results in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the previous quarter and year-ago period. We are continuing to add to our headcount to enhance our customer facing teams and build our services organization in addition to realigning internal resources to focus on the best opportunities. At the same time we maintained a 10% non-GAAP operating margin and generated $13.3 million in cash flow from operating activities during the third quarter. Income from operations (GAAP) was at $3.4 million, similar to the second quarter, and includes an increase in share based compensation costs versus year-ago period. Net Income GAAP and non-GAAP both showed healthy gains over the year-ago periods. Further we continue to maintain a very strong balance sheet with about $120 million in cash and cash equivalents, and very negligible debt."

Outlook for FY 2010

Sheffer added, "We are continuing to make progress executing on our plans. We are reiterating the guidance we gave in August. We expect total revenues for 2010 of between $200 and $210 million and similar or better profitability than 2009. Overall we are satisfied by our progress and we are on track with our goals for 2010."
