  • EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 was a loss of $2.5 million compared to an income of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 and an income of $3.9 million in the comparable period of 2014.
  • Cash balances, including restricted cash, net of short-term bank credits, increased by $42.4 million compared to December 31, 2014, resulting in a cash balance of $95.9 million as of June 30, 2015.
  • Modified management objectives for 2015: reiterated revenues objective to between $250 to $260 million and modified EBITDA objective to between $20 to $21 million.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2015 were $44.3 million, compared to $54.1 million for the same period in 2014.

On a non-GAAP basis, operating loss was $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to an operating income of $1.5 million in the comparable quarter of 2014.

On a GAAP basis, operating loss was $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to an operating loss of $0.5 million in the comparable quarter of 2014.

On a non-GAAP basis, net loss for the quarter was $7.1 million or $0.16 per diluted share compared to net income of $0.6 million or $0.01 per diluted share in the same quarter of 2014.

On a GAAP basis, net loss for the quarter was $9.1 million or a loss of $0.21 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $1.4 million or a loss of $0.03 per diluted share in the same quarter of 2014.

EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 was a loss of $2.5 million compared with an income of $3.9 million in the comparable period in 2014.

"The second quarter and the remainder of 2015 are negatively impacted by two main factors. The first is the weaker than expected performance of our Defense sector, mainly resulting from delayed orders from the US DOD and other clients, coupled with lower than expected margins. The second factor is the lower than expected performance of the Colombia Kioscos project, coupled with the sharp devaluation of the Colombian Peso.

"However, we see a stronger second half which will accelerate in Q4 due to growth in all sectors, mainly in our projects in Peru", said Dov Baharav, Interim CEO and Chairman of the Board of Gilat.

"I am very proud to announce a key development in our HTS business. Gilat is partnering with leading China Satellite Communication Companies to provide multiple network segments and VSAT terminals for the first Ka HTS multi-spot beam satellite ChinaSat 16. This agreement presents a major opportunity to develop a long term substantial relationship with our new partners in China to drive further potential business," Mr. Baharav highlighted.

"With the reassurance of our growth drivers' strength, namely HTS, Cellular Backhaul, airborne mobility and the exceptionally large funnel of deals we have, we are optimistic about the business outlook for 2016 and beyond for Gilat," concluded Mr. Baharav.

Notes:

(1) The attached summary financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The attached summary financial statements are unaudited. To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company presents Gilat's EBITDA before the impact of non-cash share-based payment charges, depreciation and amortization, other income and other costs related to acquisition transactions. Non-GAAP presentations of net income, operating income, EBITDA and earnings per share are provided to enhance the understanding of the Company's historical financial performance and comparability between periods.

(2) Operating income before depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock option expenses as per ASC 718 (formerly SFAS 123(R)) and other costs related to acquisition transactions ('EBITDA') is presented because it is a measure commonly used and is presented solely in order to improve the understanding of the Company's operating results and to provide further perspective on these results. EBITDA, however, should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income for the period as an indicator of the operating performance of the Company.

Similarly, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. EBITDA may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. Reconciliation between the Company's Operating income and EBITDA is presented in the attached summary financial statements.
