Increasing 2007 annual revenue guidance; expected to surpass $58 million in revenues; Cash & marketable securities further increased to $59.9 million

OMER, Israel, November 1/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RRsat Global Communications Network Ltd. (NASDAQ: RRST), a rapidly growing provider of comprehensive content management and global distribution services to the television and radio broadcasting industries, today announced its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Revenues for the third quarter of 2007 totaled $15.0 million, an increase of 29.6% compared to $11.5 million in the third quarter of 2006.

Backlog of signed agreements, as of September 30, 2007, reached a record $137.3 million, a further increase of $5.2 million from the $132.1 million backlog of signed agreements as of June 30, 2007.

Operating income for the third quarter of 2007 totaled $2.9 million, a 6.3% increase compared to $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2006.

Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2007 totaled $3.2 million, an increase of 63.1% compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2006. Adjusted net income per diluted share totaled $0.19, compared to $0.15 in the third quarter of 2006.

Net income on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2007 was $3.0 million, an increase of 49.5% compared to $2.0 million, in the third quarter of 2006. Net income per diluted share on a GAAP basis was $0.17, compared with $0.15 in the third quarter of 2006.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2007 totaled $3.8 million, an increase of 13.3% compared to $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2006.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as at September 30, 2007 were $59.9 million, compared with $57.4 million as at June 30, 2007. During the quarter, the Company generated $4.3 million in operating cash flow, excluding the $1.8 million generated from marketable securities, and presented as an inflow under the GAAP operating cash flow.

David Rivel, CEO of RRsat commented, "Once again we generated record top and bottom line performance this quarter, fueled by the steady increase in orders for our premier end-to-end distribution and content management services. This strong growth compared to the third quarter last year was especially significant as the results last year included a large component of high-margin, non-recurring revenues incurred due to media interest in the regional hostilities in 2006. We reached new levels with our backlog, ending the quarter with a backlog of $137.3 million, a healthy net increase of $5.2 million during the quarter."

Mr. Rivel added, "We continue to develop our strong product offering, signing new partnerships with premier global satellite operators. Furthermore, we continue to invest resources in laying additional infrastructure increasing our fiber optic capacity to key European cities, while steadily signing new and existing customers for our broad product offering. Looking ahead to the remainder of 2007 and 2008, we are holding initial discussions with several potential acquisition targets in the US. We hope to announce such a transaction by the end of 2007" concluded Mr. Rivel. "As a result of our strong performance and record backlog, we are increasing our annual 2007 revenue guidance to the range of $58.3 - $58.7 million, implying fourth quarter revenues in the range of $15.4 - $15.8 million."

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.

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 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.
