Net Loss Decreases And Company Launches New Cloud-based Anti-Phishing Product for Enterprises
MCLEAN, VA / ACCESSWIRE / May 13, 2020 / Cyren (NASDAQ:CYRN) today announced its first quarter 2020 financial results for the period ending March 31, 2020.
During the first quarter, Cyren reported quarterly revenues of $9.6 million, compared to $9.7 million during the first quarter of 2019. GAAP net loss for the quarter was $2.8 million, down 40% compared to the $4.6 million net loss reported during the first quarter of 2019, due to lower operating expenses compared to the prior year.
"Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the first quarter was a very difficult period for companies around the globe," said Brett Jackson, CEO of Cyren. "Despite the challenging external environment, our team remained focused and we exceeded our Q1 bookings target. We also experienced strong contract renewals during the period, including several large, multi-year agreements. Cybersecurity remains a priority for customers in our target markets. Given that most companies are now relying on a remote work environment, we do not see a relaxing of security postures. In fact, organizations are more reliant on email than ever, and protecting users from email-based threats is critical."

- Revenues for the first quarter of 2020 were $9.6 million, compared to $9.7 million during the first quarter of 2019.
- GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2020 was $2.8 million, compared to a net loss of $4.6 million in the first quarter of 2019, representing a decrease in loss of 40% year over year.

- Non-GAAP loss per basic and diluted share was $0.05 for the first quarter of 2020, compared to a Non-GAAP loss of $0.08 per share in first quarter of 2019.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude: stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and deferred taxes related to acquisitions, 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 contains forward-looking statements 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 at the time of the press release and the company assumes no obligation to update any of them. The statements in this press release are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from current expectations as a result of numerous factors, including business conditions and growth or deterioration in the internet security market, technological developments, products offered by competitors, availability of qualified staff, and technological difficulties and resource constraints encountered in developing new products, as well as those risks described in the company's publicly filed reports, which are available through www.sec.gov.
