RA'ANANA, Israel, May 21, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Retalix(r) Ltd. (Nasdaq:RTLX), a leading provider of software solutions for retailers and distributors, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.
Summarized financial highlights of the 2008 first quarter results:
* Total Revenues for the period were $53.9 million, compared to
$52.7 million in the first quarter of 2007, and $55.2 million
in the fourth quarter of 2007.
* GAAP Net Loss for the period was $(0.5) million, or $(0.03)
per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.02 million, or
$0.00 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2007, and a net
loss of $(1.7) million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, in the
fourth quarter of 2007.
* Adjusted Net Income (Non-GAAP)* for the period was $1.2 million,
or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $1.9 million, or $0.10
per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2007, and a net loss
of $(0.9) million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, in the fourth
quarter of 2007.
Barry Shaked, President and Chief Executive Officer of Retalix, said, "We are pleased by the progress we are making in addressing the challenges in our operations. After recording losses in the fourth quarter, we restored non-GAAP profitability in the first quarter while also again generating cash flow from operations without factoring our receivables. As we have stated, our primary focus for 2008 is to improve our profitability and our cash flow, not merely top line growth. The results of the first quarter demonstrate initial signs of progress on our turnaround plan and we believe we can continue to build on these results throughout 2008."
Business and operations highlights:
* Recent selections of Retalix by leading grocery retailers in
Europe and Asia further strengthen the position of Retalix as
the leading point-of-sale (POS) solution for Tier 1 grocery
retailers.
* Food Lion, a tier-1 grocery chain and a part of the Delhaize
Group, started deploying the Retalix Yard Management solution at
its distribution centers, which serve approximately 1,300 stores
in the United States.
* The Pantry, one of the largest convenience store chains in the
United States, began rolling out Retalix StorePoint, Retalix
Fuel, and Retalix HQ-Convenience software solutions to more than
1,600 sites.
* Retalix broadened its relationship with IBM's Retail Store
Solutions division, announcing partnerships in the petroleum and
convenience segment and in the SMB grocery segment.
* Retalix announced three new product releases -- Retalix
DemandAnalytX 6.0, Retalix HQ/Store 7.1 and Retalix Power
Analyzer 1.2.
Shaked added: "We continue to be positive about the business outlook, but, as we have previously stated, we also continue to monitor our expenses carefully to ensure they are in line with our overall business plan. As new products matured in the development cycle, we have reassigned resources to Professional Services, prioritized the Product Development efforts and restructured our R&D teams. We have taken these steps following a study of our expense structure as well as the resources we need to be able to serve our clients, bring new products to the market and seize available opportunities. As a consequence, since the beginning of 2008, the number of Retalix employees worldwide has been reduced by approximately 120. While a reduction in force was part of our plan for 2008, we estimate that it also provides cost savings that mitigate the effect of the continued weakness of the US dollar during the first quarter."
Hugo Goldman, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, said: "We are making progress with our financial plan for 2008. During the first quarter we returned to being cash flow positive, generating $0.4 million from operations, in spite of the fact that we discontinued the factoring of receivables. As of March 31, 2008, our balance sheet had $29.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. We continue to monitor closely the impact of currency exchange rates on our financial outlook for the coming quarters."
Outlook for FY 2008
In spite of the continued weakness of the US Dollar, Retalix expects it will meet its financial goals for FY 2008, of total revenues exceeding $232 million, GAAP net income exceeding $8 million, and adjusted, non-GAAP* net income exceeding $15 million.
Shaked concluded: "Demand for our software solutions remains strong, as retailers and distributors cautiously proceed with their long-term technology investments. Retalix is uniquely positioned in the retail software market with a broad offering of software solutions tailored specifically to the requirements of the food retail industry. We continue to believe that our investments in product development and in penetration into new territories will pay off in the coming years."
Conference Call and Webcast Information
The Company will be holding a conference call to discuss results for the first quarter 2008 on Wednesday, May 21, 2008 at 9:00am EDT (4:00pm Israeli Time). This conference can be accessed by all interested parties through the Company's web site at http://www.retalix.com/conference-call.cfm. For those unable to participate during the live broadcast, a replay will be available shortly after the call on the Retalix site.
* Note on Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Retalix uses non-GAAP measures of operating income, net income and earnings per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude non-cash equity based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R), amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, and charges in connection with expenses relating to acquisitions that did not materialize. Retalix's management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors' understanding and assessment of the Company's on-going core operations and prospects for the future. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management also uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors. Reconciliations between GAAP measures and non-GAAP measures are contained following the GAAP financial statements in this press release. Reconciliation between GAAP to non-GAAP outlook for 2008 is provided in the table below.
