We experienced strong double digit growth and healthy cash generation, which provide us with the necessary resources to continue to grow and take the company to the next level."

Mr. Rivel added, "During the first quarter we commenced 17 new contracts - 8 of which were with new customers that chose RRSat to extend their global reach, and 9 with existing customers that expanded service offerings to take advantage of our broad global satellite network to transmit their channels to new regions and households spanning the globe. This quarter was also a key quarter in terms of further enhancing and broadening our offering as we signed several new partnerships with leading satellite organizations in Europe, the US and Asia, and laid additional fiber infrastructure in key locations such as Moscow, New York and Washington DC."

"Looking ahead, we expect the remainder of 2007 to continue to be an exciting year for RRSat in terms of strong organic growth, as well as potential for new and diverse complementary growth opportunities in the US and Europe, through potential acquisitions and partnerships. We are increasing our annual 2007 revenue guidance to the range of $55.5 - $56.0 million, with second quarter revenues expected to be in the range of $13.5 - $13.8 million," concluded Mr. Rivel

Use of Non- GAAP Financial Measures

RRSat uses two financial measures, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. RRSat believes that both non-GAAP financial measures are principal indicators of the operating and financial performance of its business. Adjusted net income is calculated based on the net income in our financial statements excluding non-cash equity-based compensation charges recorded in accordance with SFAS 123R, the non-cash income (loss) reflecting changes in the fair value of embedded currency conversion derivatives resulting from the application of SFAS 133 and the resulting income tax (increase) decrease, and one-time expenses in the fourth quarter of 2006 relating to the IPO.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by deducting from net income interest and marketable securities income, currency fluctuation and other financial income (expenses), net, changes in fair value of embedded currency conversion derivatives, other income (expenses), net, and adding income taxes and one-time expenses in the fourth quarter of 2006 relating to the IPO, non-cash equity-based compensation charge, and depreciation and amortization. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures (adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA) provided are useful to investors' understanding and assessment of RRSat's on-going core operations and prospects for the future. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to evaluate the performance of the company. However, such measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, RRSat's adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to adjusted EBITDA as reported by other companies.

Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures (adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA) to net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, are provided in the schedules attached to this release.
