“We are very pleased with our performance in the fourth quarter and 2021.

We also grew our subscription business to more than 30% of total revenue, achieved healthy operating income and earnings per share, and generated record cash flow from operations,” said Roy Zisapel, president and CEO, Radware. “In 2021, we witnessed an increased demand for our security solutions. The total addressable market is large and offers tremendous opportunities in the future and we believe that in light of the  investments we are making in innovation and infrastructure, we are well positioned to enjoy continued growth.”

Revenue for the fourth quarter and full year of 2021 totaled $76.6 million and $286.5 million respectively:


Revenue in the Americas region was $31.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, up 14% from $27.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Revenue in the Americas region was $128.8 million for the full year of 2021, up 13% from $114.4 million in the full year of 2020.


Revenue in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) region was $29.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, up 23% from $24.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Revenue in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) region was $98.4 million for the full year of 2021, up 26% from $78.4 million for the full year of 2020.


Revenue in the Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) region was $15.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, down 10% from $17.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Revenue in the Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) region was $59.3 million for the full year of 2021, up 4% from $57.3 million in the full year of 2020.

GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $5.6 million, or net loss of $0.12 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $2.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2020.
GAAP net income for the full year of 2021 was $7.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $9.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the full year of 2020.

Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $10.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $9.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2020.
Non-GAAP net income for the full year of 2021 was $38.3 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $30.8 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the full year of 2020.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term bank deposits and marketable securities of $465.8 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $28.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $71.8 million in 2021.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company took advantage of a special program initiated by the Israeli Tax Authority that allowed Israeli companies to release “trapped profits” at a discounted tax rate.
As a result, the Company reported a GAAP tax expense of $10.0 million. Due to the one-time nature of this expense, the Company excluded the tax expense related to the “trapped profits” from the non-GAAP results. The total tax amount related to the release of the “trapped profits” was $8.2 million.

Non-GAAP results are calculated excluding, as applicable, the impact of stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, litigation costs, acquisition costs, exchange rate differences, net on balance sheet items included in financial income, other loss adjustment, tax settlement and tax related adjustments. A reconciliation of each of the Company’s non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included at the end of this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information and Key Performance Indicators
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Radware uses non-GAAP measures of gross profit, research and development expense, selling and marketing expense, general and administrative expense, total operating expenses, operating income, financial income, income before taxes on income, taxes on income, net income and earnings per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude, as applicable, stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, litigation costs, acquisition costs, exchange rate differences, net on balance sheet items included in financial income, other loss adjustment, tax settlement and tax related adjustments. Management believes that exclusion of these charges allows for meaningful comparisons of operating results across past, present and future periods. Radware’s management believes the non-GAAP financial measures provided in this release are useful to investors for the purpose of understanding and assessing Radware’s ongoing operations. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included with the financial information contained in this press release. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating and operating the business and, as such, has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors.

Annual recurring revenue ("ARR") is a key performance indicator defined as the annualized value of booked orders for term-based cloud services, subscription licenses and maintenance contracts that are in effect at the end of a reporting period. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items.  ARR is not a forecast of future revenue, which can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates, and does not include revenue reported as perpetual license or professional services revenue in our consolidated statement of operations. We consider ARR a key performance indicator of the value of the recurring components of our business.

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Generally, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could.” Because such statements deal with future events, they are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and actual results, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, could differ materially from Radware’s current forecasts and estimates.
