Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $348.4 million, compared to $339.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2011.

On a GAAP basis, the Company had an operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2012 of $28.1 million compared to an operating loss of $15.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. On a GAAP basis, the Company had an operating loss for the year 2012 of $25.1 million, compared with an operating loss of $12.3 million in the prior year. The Company's GAAP operating loss was mainly affected by a non-cash impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets in the amount of $31.9 million relating to Wavestream.


On a non-GAAP basis, operating income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $6.6 million similar to the operating income in the fourth quarter of 2011. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $16.8 million compared to $17.5 million in the full year 2011.

Cash generated from operating activities was $18.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

"We are very pleased with our overall numbers for the fourth quarter as well as year-end 2012, and our prospects going forward," said Erez Antebi, Chief Executive Officer of Gilat. "This quarter was highlighted by a 9% revenue growth from the third quarter of 2012, EBITDA margin of 11% and over $18 million of cash generation from operating activities. With regards to Wavestream, we believe they will continue to grow in the future, as it has done over the last three quarters, both in revenue and profitability. However, the continuing pressure and ongoing uncertainties surrounding future spending on DoD budgets in the U.S., as well as other elements, have led us to extend our anticipated timeframe and moderate the forecasted pace of growing the Wavestream business. Therefore in accordance with ASC 350, we are taking this quarter a non-cash impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets charge related to Wavestream." "On the commercial side of the business, we continue to see a strong rate of implementation at NBN Co. in Australia, and new orders for our Ka CPE from several European ISPs as the SES Broadband Services consumer rollout was launched in mid-December. We closed several new Defense deals in the quarter and continue to expand our position as a leader in Satellite-on-the-Move technology as exemplified by our recent wins in the avionics industry. We have also closed several significant contracts in our Services Division with new and existing customers." Antebi concluded, "Looking forward into 2013, we will continue to focus on achieving revenue targets, increased profitability and improved cash generation. Our management objectives for 2013 are to generate revenues in the range of $350 million to $360 million with EBITDA margins of 9%, similar to what we achieved in 2012."

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 information and 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, 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.
