Shuky Sheffer, Chief Executive Officer of Retalix, said, "It was a strong quarter for Retalix, demonstrated by growth in revenues and net income and solid progress on execution of our strategy. All of the growth engines we defined for Retalix are firing and beginning to contribute to results. We won multiple new customers, including Walgreens and one additional Tier 0 North American retailer, and the Russian grocer DIXY. We generated strong positive cash flows from operations and our net income improved versus the year ago quarter and the previous quarter, and maintained our level of profitability, all while also investing in our growth engines and strategic projects for customers. We continue to build on our innovative products, including the Retalix 10 Store Suite, and are gaining traction with our services offering and winning customers for our Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering. We are also expanding and enhancing our SaaS business with the recently announced acquisition of MTXEPS. We are pleased by the market response to our offerings and are confident that Retalix has the unique products and value-added services in place to provide innovative solutions to high volume, high complexity retailers." 

Hugo Goldman, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, said, "We had solid financial performance in the quarter with good growth in revenues and net income, good cash generation, strong collections and improved DSO. We also continued to maintain our operating margin, and improved our net margins compared to previous and year ago quarters, while we continued to execute on our strategic plan, investing in our growth engines, personnel and strategic projects. Our strong balance sheet is helping us pursue our growth including funding our recent acquisition of MTXEPS, which will expand and enhance our SaaS and payments offerings."

Outlook for FY 2011

Sheffer added, "Retalix's strong performance in the first half of 2011, the contribution coming from our growth engines and our improving business pipeline are all providing us with greater comfort for the year. In March and again in May we said we expected total revenues for 2011 to be in the range of $217 million to $228 million and expected to maintain at least the same level of profitability in 2011 as compared to 2010. Our organically generated revenues are trending to the high-end of our guidance for 2011. We expect that our recent acquisition of MTXEPS will have a minimal contribution for the remainder of 2011, but will grow going forward. We still expect to maintain at least the same levels of profitability while we continue to invest in our growth engines, people and strategic projects in the second half of 2011."

** We calculate Non-GAAP Operating Margin by dividing Non-GAAP Operating income (reconciled to GAAP operating income above) by revenues. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, this resulted in a Non-GAAP Operating Margin of 8.8% and 8.8%, respectively, calculated as follows: $5,062/$57,849 = 8.8% and  $9,816/$111,973 = 8.8%.
