CYREN Reports Second Quarter 2015 Results and Provides Business Update Following Capital Raise

MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CYREN (NASDAQ: CYRN) today announced its second quarter 2015 financial results for the period ending June 30, 2015, and provided a business update following its recent $12.6 million capital raise.

"As of today, we have an established foundation of users and reference customers, as well as a growing sales pipeline for our cloud-based CYREN WebSecurity (CWS) platform. We are already seeing the positive effects of this heightened brand awareness, as we are now attracting bigger, higher-quality RFPs and sales opportunities from potential customers," stated Lior Samuelson, CEO and Chairman of the Board at CYREN.

He added: "We experienced an overwhelming response from our recent public offering, which was oversubscribed and validates that institutional investors believe in CYREN's strategy and vision for cloud-based WebSecurity and Cyber Threat Protection.  The funding will help CYREN to accelerate R&D and hire additional sales professionals in order to address the demand generated by our newest product offerings."

During the quarter, CYREN narrowed its GAAP net loss and cash burn, in part due to reduced operating expenses and additional items that positively impacted the quarterly run rate on a go forward basis.

Second Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights:

• Revenues in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) totaled $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $8.3 million for the second quarter of 2014 and $7.0 million for the first quarter of 2015. The reduction in revenue was primarily due to the weakness of the Euro since June 2014 and customer agreements that were not renewed at the end of their terms.
• Non-GAAP revenues totaled $6.8 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $8.3 million for the second quarter of 2014 and $7.0 million for the first quarter of 2015. The difference between non-GAAP and GAAP revenue is derived from the fact that deferred revenues consolidated from acquired companies are recorded based on fair value rather than book value for GAAP purposes.
• R&D expense for the second quarter of 2015 declined to $1.8 million from $3.1 million for the same period last year. This decline is attributable to the net capitalization of some software development costs, a new R&D grant from the Office of the Chief Scientist at the Ministry of Economy of Israel, and appreciation of the U.S. dollar versus the Euro and Shekel.
• GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2015 was $0.6 million, compared to a loss of $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 and a loss of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2015.
• GAAP loss per basic and diluted share for the second quarter of 2015 was $0.02, compared to a loss of $0.08 for the second quarter of 2014.
• Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2015 was $1.2 million, compared to a loss of $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2014 and a loss of $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2015.
• Non-GAAP loss per basic and diluted share was $0.04 for the second quarters of both 2015 and 2014.
• Cash provided by operating activities during the quarter was $0.3 million.
• Cash as of June 30, 2015 was $7.9 million, compared to $8.5 million as of March 31, 2015. The cash position as of June 30, 2015 does not reflect the $11.5 million in net proceeds CYREN raised in a public offering that priced on August 12, 2015.                                                                                  

For information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release, please see "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" and "Reconciliation of Selected GAAP Measures to Non GAAP Measures."

Recent Business Highlights:

• Integrated CYREN WebSecurity with the SPARK® platform from WiFi SPARK, a UK-based managed WiFi service provider, which operates over 100,000 access points across Europe. This integration utilizes CYREN's recently-launched DNS-based policy enforcement for CWS and further validates the market's interest in this solution.
• Launched the CYREN Next Generation Sandbox service, which uniquely harnesses the power of automated, multi-layered sandboxing capabilities that rely on global cyber intelligence, instead of traditional human analysis or reactive procedures initiated due to customer infection or attack.
• Announced that Securepoint, a German-based provider of network access, network security and mail archiving solutions, has added three new layers of CYREN cybersecurity technologies alongside its existing use of CYREN Antispam and Antimalware.
• Announced Cyveillance, a subsidiary of QinetiQ, has launched a phishing protection service for enterprise and government customers. The service utilizes CYREN's Phishing Intelligence feed, which is delivered real-time from the CYREN cloud as part of its Cyber Intelligence Suite.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures 

Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude: stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, executive termination costs, deferred taxes and deferred revenues related to acquisitions, one-time settlement agreements, reorganization expenses, adjustments to earn-out obligations and capitalization of technology. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of the company's performance exclusive of non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of the company's core operating results. The company's non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Company management regularly uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the business and make operating decisions.

These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. The company believes this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of the business. The company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide consistent and comparable measures to help investors understand the company's current and future operating cash flow performance. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Income. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when evaluating the business internally and therefore felt it important to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors.

This press release may contain forward-looking statements, including projections about our business, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For example, statements in the future tense, and statements including words such as "expect," "plan," "estimate," "anticipate," or "believe" are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on information available to us at the time of the presentation; we assume no obligation to update any of them. The statements in this presentation are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from our current expectations as a result of numerous factors, including business conditions and growth or deterioration in the Internet market, commerce and the general economy, both domestic as well as international; fewer than expected new-partner relationships; competitive factors, including pricing pressures; technological developments, and products offered by competitors; the ability of our OEM partners to successfully penetrate markets with products integrated with CYREN technology; a slower than expected acceptance rate for our newer product offerings; availability of qualified staff; and technological difficulties and resource constraints encountered in developing new products,  as well as those risks described in the text of this presentation and the company's Annual Reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K, which are available through www.sec.gov.
