Retalix Announces Third Quarter 2012 Results

Record Quarter With 15% Growth in Revenues; 34% Increase in Operating Income (Non-GAAP); Strong Progress on Executing Strategy; Expanding Into Adjacent Markets Via Cornell Mayo Acquisition; Expects to Exceed 2012 Revenue Guidance


RA'ANANA, Israel, Nov. 14, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Retalix® Ltd. (Nasdaq:RTLX), a leading global provider of software and services to high volume, high complexity retailers, announced today results for the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Summarized financial highlights for the third quarter:

  • Total Revenues were up 15% to $70.5 million compared with $61.6 million in the third quarter of 2011.
     
  • Adjusted Operating Income (Non-GAAP)* was up 34% to $7.3 million compared to $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2011.
     
  • Operating Income (GAAP) was up 72% to $5.1 million compared to $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2011.
     
  • Adjusted Net Income (Non-GAAP)* was $5.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $7.7 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011. The year-over-year comparison in third quarter Net Income reflects a change in financial income and a tax benefit realized in 2011 versus both a financial and tax expense in 2012. 
     
  • GAAP Net Income was $3.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $5.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011, reflecting the financial income and tax benefit in 2011 mentioned above.
     
  • Financial Expenses of $0.1 million were recorded in the third quarter of 2012 including interest income, the net impact of currency fluctuations on the value of non-dollar assets, and currency translation costs. This compares to financial income of $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2011.
     
  • Cash Flow from Operating Activities was $5.3 million.
     
  • Balance Sheet included $134.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, deposits, marketable securities and long term investments with no debt as of September 30, 2012, and after the completion of the Cornell Mayo acquisition.

Shuky Sheffer, Chief Executive Officer of Retalix, said, "We are continuing to make good progress executing our growth strategy and delivering innovative and unique solutions for retailers. We continue to win new programs and logos for our unique Retalix 10 products, services and software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings. This quarter we signed a multi-year strategic partnership with Delhaize Group to become the preferred provider of in-store software for their 3,300 locations worldwide and we are starting work on another Retalix 10 project for a Tier 0 retailer. We also successfully executed on our strategy to expand into adjacent high volume high complexity markets with the acquisition of Cornell Mayo. Building on our great products and our product-led services model ensures that Retalix is not only providing the leading platform but that we are positioned to provide consistent value and expertise in the delivery and implementation of our products thus paving the way for long-term, deep partnerships with our customers."

Sarit Sagiv, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, said, "Our growing strength in the market helped us to achieve record quarterly revenues, surpassing the $70 million mark, as well as improved operating margins and strong year-over-year growth in operating income. We achieved these improvements while continuing our investments. Our headcount grew by 10% over last quarter, reflecting our recruiting efforts designed to ensure successful delivery on our customer wins and the addition of Cornell Mayo. Our balance sheet is strong. We continue to generate cash flow from operations and we have no debt. We have a strong financial platform which will continue to help us in pursuing opportunities in our markets."

Outlook for FY 2012

Sheffer added, "We expect we will exceed our revenue guidance which was for total revenues in the range of $260 to $270 million for 2012. Cornell Mayo will have a minimal contribution in the remainder of 2012, but we expect it will grow as we move forward.

"In the first nine months of 2012 we also successfully achieved our goal of improving the profitability of operations versus 2011. We targeted 9 to 10 percent profitability from operations (on a non-GAAP basis) for 2012 and we expect to be at the high end of this range. As I said last quarter, we expect to continue our investments to deliver on our new wins and further build our traction in the markets while balancing these investments against profitability."
