ended March 31, 2012.

 

  First Quarter 2012 Results:

 

  Revenues in the first quarter of 2012 totaled $27.5 million, a 2.0% increase compared
with $26.9 million in the first quarter of 2011 and a decrease of 4.7% compared with $28.8
million in the previous quarter.

 

  Gross profit in the first quarter of 2012 totaled $6.1 million, compared with $6.2
million in the first quarter of 2011 and $6.9 million in the previous quarter. Gross
margin in the first quarter of 2012 was 22.3%, compared with 23.0% in the same quarter
last year and 23.8% in the previous quarter.

 

  Operating income for the first quarter of 2012 totaled $2.0 million, representing an
operating margin of 7.1%, compared with $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2011,
representing an operating margin of 7.4%. Operating income in the previous quarter totaled
$2.4 million, representing an operating margin of 8.5%.

 

  Net income on a GAAP basis for the first quarter of 2012 was $2.3 million, compared
with $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2011 and $1.6 million in the previous quarter.
Fully diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis for the first quarter of 2012 was $0.13,
compared with $0.05 in the first quarter of 2011 and $0.09 in the previous quarter.

 

  Adjusted net income totaled $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared with

million, an increase of $1.2 million compared with $33.2 million as of December 31, 2011.
The net increase in the cash balance is mainly attributable to a positive cash flow from
operating activities of $3.1 million less capital expenditures of $2.3 million.

 

  Backlog of signed agreements, as of March 31, 2012, totaled $194 million, including
$69.1 million of revenues expected to be recognized during the remainder of 2012, compared

million, and for full year 2012 remains in the range of $115 - $121 million. Guidance for
gross margin in the second quarter of 2012 is in the range of 22.5 - 23.5%.

 

  David Rivel, CEO of RRsat commented, “As we noted in the fourth quarter 2011
conference call, our first quarter results were mainly impacted by the ending of a large
TV project which reduced our revenues compared with the previous quarter and resulted in
excess capacity that had a negative impact on our margins. However, we are seeing a
healthy contract pipe line and expect to be back to sequential growth and better gross
margins by the second quarter. As anticipated, we are also seeing a reduction in our
capital expenditures level and this will continue to have a positive impact on our free
cash flow.”

 

  Mr. Rivel continued, “We otherwise had some positive activities at the Company during
the quarter including the activation of five new services, with each contract worth over
one million dollars. We also announced the extension of our contract with the Vietnam TV
channel for global distribution, as well as signing a contract with ETV, one of India’s
largest networks of satellite TV channels. We are expanding our presence in the ever
growing sports market, having signed an agreement with international sports broadcaster,
Setanta, for the distribution of a Russian version of its sports channel across Russian
speaking countries. And finally, we extended our contract with Baby TV, which is part of
FOX International, a major broadcaster. Looking ahead to 2012, I believe we are on track
with our strategy and goal of offering superior services to a larger group of customers,
including major television networks.”

  Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

  In addition to the GAAP results included in this press release, RRsat has also
included non-GAAP measurements of results. RRsat uses three financial measures, adjusted
net income, adjusted net income per share and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP
financial measures. RRsat believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are principal
indicators of the operating and financial performance of its business. We have provided
these non-GAAP measurements to help investors better understand our core operating
performance and enhance comparisons of core operating performance from period to period.

 

  Adjusted net income is calculated based on the net income in our financial statements
excluding non-cash equity-based compensation charges recorded in accordance with FASB ASC
Topic 718, non-cash expense resulting from amortization of acquired intangible assets,
non-cash income (loss) reflecting changes in the fair value of embedded currency
conversion derivatives resulting from the application of FASB ASC Topic 815 and the
resulting income tax (increase) decrease of the above items.

 

  The company has excluded intangible assets amortization expense from its non-GAAP net
income measurements, primarily because it represents a significant non-cash expense and
because the company evaluates its performance excluding intangible assets amortization
expense. Amortization of intangible assets is consistent in amount and frequency but is
significantly affected by the timing and size of the company’s acquisitions. Investors
should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to the Company’s revenues earned
during the periods presented and will contribute to the Company’s future period revenues
as well. Intangible assets amortization expense will recur in future periods.

 

  Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding to operating income, non-cash equity-based
compensation charge, depreciation and amortization. Management uses these non-GAAP
financial measures to assess its operational performance, for financial and operational
decision-making, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons on a consistent
basis. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful
supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance by excluding certain non-cash
expenses that are not directly attributable to its core operating results.

 

  The non-GAAP measurements are intended only as a supplement to the comparable GAAP
measurements and the company compensates for the limitations inherent in the use of
non-GAAP measurements by using GAAP measures in conjunction with the non-GAAP
measurements. As a result, investors should consider these non-GAAP measurements in
addition to, and not in substitution for, or as superior to, measurements of financial
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

  The Company expects to continue reporting non-GAAP financial measures, adjusting for
the items described above, and the Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar
to the non-cash, non-GAAP adjustments described above. Accordingly, the exclusion of these
and other similar items in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be
construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.
Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the
presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share and adjusted EBITDA may
not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. These limitations
are compensated for by using adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with
traditional GAAP financial measures.

 

  Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures (adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA) to
the most comparable GAAP measures (net income and operating income respectively), are
provided in the schedules attached to this release.
