RRsat Announces Finalcial Results

Aug. 8, 2013

RRsat Global Communications Network Ltd. announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013.

"This was another quarter of solid execution for RRsat, as we delivered record revenue, margin expansion and significantly improved cash flow," commented Avi Cohen, CEO of RRsat. "We also made important progress in our geographic expansion. RRsat now has a stronger presence in three countries, reaching key markets around the world, to more effectively leverage our state-of-the-art global content distribution capabilities."

"As part of our growth strategy, we are in the process of changing from a regional provider of global services to a global company with a broad footprint near our customers," added Mr. Cohen. "This strategy began with the successful acquisition of SM2 in November 2012, expanding our presence in North America and access to top-tier customers. We built on that success this quarter, opening an office in Moscow with a unique, strong offering for the Russian and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) market, ,  which composed  of tens of millions of households. We plan to open additional local offices around the world, leveraging our global distribution capabilities and creating the necessary footprint to better serve global customers with local services, utilizing local talent specifically for content preparation, content management and channel origination."

"This is a period of tremendous technological change in the industry, as broadcasters are looking to extend their content to new markets, reaching consumers wherever they are on a multitude of devices," concluded Mr. Cohen. "The inherent complexity of this shift to multiple screens and internet streaming as well as the need of our tier-one clients to outsource aspects such as media preparation services to a reliable and local provider, represent a significant opportunity for RRsat, driving demand for our expertise and our services."

Management reiterated its expectation of full-year 2013 revenues in the range of $120 million to $125 million representing 6% to 10% year-over-year growth and gross margin for the year to improve over 2012. Given some level of seasonality associated with the revenue outside of the 24/7 services, management expects some level of variation in mix from quarter to quarter leading to some fluctuations in revenues and gross margin between quarters. For the third quarter of 2013, management expects revenues in the range of $29.2 million to $30.5 million representing 2.5% to 7% year-over-year growth.
