RADWARE LTD. ANNOUNCES Q3 RESULTS


* Quarterly revenues of $20.2 million

* GAAP loss per share $0.06, Non-GAAP EPS $0.03


Tel Aviv, Israel, October 30, 2006 — Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR), the leading provider of intelligent integrated solutions for ensuring the fast, reliable and secure delivery of networked and Web-enabled applications over IP today reported revenues of $20.2 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 6% compared with revenues of $19.0 million for the third quarter of 2005, and $20.1 million revenues for the second quarter of 2006.


Net loss on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2006 was $1.1 million or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $0.6 million or $0.03 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2006.


For comparative purposes, net income excluding the effects of stock-based compensation expense for the third quarter of 2006 was $0.6 million or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with net income of $0.3 million or $0.02 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2006 and net income of $1.6 million or $0.08 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2005.


In the third quarter of 2006 the Company continued to maintain a positive operational cash flow. During the third quarter the company continued to implement its buy-back program and repurchased additional 488 thousand shares of its stock for approximately $6.2 million, leading to a balance of $163.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments.


“Improving sales performance continues to be a top business priority. We are keenly focused on achieving this goal as well as making progress on several fronts to strengthen the company’s business fundamentals to increase our growth rates and improve profitability,” said Roy Zisapel, CEO at Radware. “This quarter we began implementing a restructuring plan to establish the foundation on which to build a strong team and create an infrastructure for scaling the business and leveraging market conditions for driving revenue growth and market share.”


“We are executing on our vision for application delivery and are introducing new innovative capabilities to address evolving application delivery requirements of the new class of emerging SOA-based applications,” Zisapel continued. “More and more companies are moving to deploy business-oriented IT strategies that align IT infrastructure with business processes to improve their business agility. We believe offering solutions for optimizing the new generation of SOA-based applications such as XML web-services has the potential to change the current landscape of the application delivery market and make Radware an even more strategic partner for our large enterprise and carrier customers.”
