Financial Highlights for the First Quarter 2026
Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $79.8 million:
-
Revenue in the Americas region was $38.4 million for the first quarter of
2026, an increase of 40% from $27.4 million in the first quarter of 2025.
-
Revenue in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”) region was $25.1
million for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of 11% from $28.3 million
in the first quarter of 2025.
-
Revenue in the Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) region was $16.3 million for the first
quarter of 2026, the same as in the first quarter of 2025.
GAAP net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2026 was
$6.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income from
continuing operations of $6.6 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the
first quarter of 2025.
Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2026
was $13.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income
from continuing operations of $13.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for
the first quarter of 2025.
The appreciation of the Israeli shekel against the U.S. dollar had an adverse
impact on expenses during the first quarter. Excluding the effect of foreign
exchange movements compared to last year, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP
diluted EPS would have been $15.6 million and $0.35 respectively, compared to
non-GAAP net income of $13.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the
first quarter of 2025.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, short-term and
long-term bank deposits, and marketable securities of $433.8 million. Cash
flow provided by continuing operations was $19.9 million in the first quarter
of 2026.
Non-GAAP results are calculated excluding, as applicable, the impact of
stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets,
litigation costs, acquisition costs, restructuring costs, exchange rate
differences, net on balance sheet items included in financial income, net, and
tax-related adjustments. A reconciliation of each of the Company’s non-GAAP
measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included at the end
of this press release.
As announced last quarter, the results of our subsidiary, SkyHawk, have been
classified as discontinued operations effective the first quarter of 2026 and
are presented accordingly. As a result, all financial results discussed today
relate solely to continuing operations. In connection with this change, the
previously reported Hawks segment will no longer be presented separately.
Comparative prior year figures have been adjusted to align with this
presentation and ensure consistency.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information and Key Performance Indicators
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Radware uses non-GAAP measures of
gross profit, research and development expense, selling and marketing
expense, general and administrative expense, total operating expenses,
operating income, financial income, net, income before taxes on income,
taxes on income, net income and diluted earnings per share, which are
adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude, as applicable,
stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets,
litigation costs, acquisition costs, restructuring costs, exchange rate
differences, net on balance sheet items included in financial income, net,
and tax-related adjustments. Management believes that exclusion of these
charges allows for meaningful comparisons of operating results across
past, present, and future periods. Radware’s management believes the
non-GAAP financial measures provided in this release are useful to
investors for the purpose of understanding and assessing Radware’s ongoing
operations. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not
intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results
prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP
financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure
is included with the financial information contained in this press
release. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures in
evaluating and operating the business and, as such, has determined that it
is important to provide this information to investors.
Annual recurring revenue ("ARR") is a key performance indicator defined
as the annualized value of booked orders for term-based cloud services,
subscription licenses, and maintenance contracts that are in effect at the
end of a reporting period. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue
and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with or to replace
either of those items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue, which can
be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates and does not
include revenue reported as perpetual license or professional services
revenue in our consolidated statement of operations. We consider ARR a key
performance indicator of the value of the recurring components of our
business.
