Gilat Announces Third Quarter 2010 Results
 
Petah Tikva, Israel, November 17, 2010 - Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (Nasdaq:GILT), a worldwide leader in satellite networking technology, solutions and services, today reported its results for the quarter ending September 30, 2010.
 
Revenues for the third quarter of 2010 were $58.0 million compared to $54.6 million in the same period of 2009. Net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $36.2 million or $0.86 per diluted share compared to a net income of $2.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2009. The increase in the net income was primarily a result of the income from the sale of the Company’s shares in the merger of Ingenix and Axolotl, and proceeds received as part of the settlement of litigation with the investors group announced earlier. Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2010 was $1.0 million compared to an operating loss of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2009.
 
Revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 were $166.9 million, compared to $171.5 million in the same period of 2009. Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was $35.5 million or $0.85 per diluted share, compared to $1.5 million or $0.04 per diluted share, in the same period of 2009. Non-GAAP operating income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was $0.8 million compared to an operating loss of $0.2 million in the same period of 2009.
 
Gilat's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Amiram Levinberg said "Our revenue growth and improved financial results are encouraging. We recently signed a definitive agreement to acquire Wavestream Corporation which is a significant milestone in implementing our strategy to enter the defense market, specifically in the US. We estimate that the acquisition will be completed by the end of this year, and then it is expected to have a positive impact on our revenues and profitability.

Notes:
 
(1) The attached summary financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The attached summary financial statements are unaudited. To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company presents Gilat's EBITDA before the impact of non-cash share-based payment charges, depreciation and amortization and other costs related to acquisition transactions. Non-GAAP presentations of net income, EBITDA and earnings per share are provided to enhance the understanding of the Company's historical financial performance and comparability between periods.

Press Release (cont.)
 
(2) Operating income before depreciation, amortization, non cash stock option expenses as per SFAS 123(R) and exceptional items ('EBITDA') is presented because it is a measure commonly used and is presented solely in order to improve the understanding of the Company's operating results and to provide further perspective on these results. EBITDA, however, should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income for the period as an indicator of the operating performance of the Company.
 
Similarly, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. EBITDA may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. Reconciliation between the Company's Operating income and EBIDTA is presented in the attached summary financial statements.
