Cyren Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial 2016 Results

MCLEAN, Va., Feb. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyren (NASDAQ: CYRN) today announced its fourth quarter 2016 financial results for the period ending December 31, 2016.

"Cyren closed out 2016 on a very positive note, delivering its sixth straight quarter of revenue growth, which was up 14% year over year," said Lior Samuelson, CEO and Chairman of the Board at Cyren. "For the year, we finished with $31 million in revenue, including a significant milestone for our Enterprise Security as a Service business which contributed more than 10% of overall revenue. While the embedded Threat Intelligence Services business continues to generate the majority of our revenue and cash flow, our Cyren Cloud Security services – including EmailSecurity and WebSecurity – are very well positioned as the growth engine for the future."

The company recently announced that its Cyren Cloud Security (CCS 4.0) platform is scheduled for release by the end of the first quarter. Cyren Cloud Security is the industry's first and only solution that can deliver web security, email security, DNS-based security, cloud sandboxing, and cloud access security all from a single unified SaaS platform. Cyren Cloud Security enables enterprise and SMB/SME customers to simplify and integrate the management of disparate point security solutions, eliminate complexity and costs, and deliver better protection from the latest, most sophisticated cross-vector threats.

Recent Business Highlights:

  • During the third and fourth quarters, Cyren added over 100 new Enterprise SaaS customers using either Cyren WebSecurity (CWS) or Cyren EmailSecurity (CES), or a combination of both. Over half of the CWS and DNS Security customers expressed interest in purchasing CES, which was one of the drivers for the release of the unified CCS 4.0 platform.
  • The company added and renewed several contracts to provide embedded Threat Intelligence Services using Cyren's embedded email security, web security, and cyber intelligence solutions. For the year, Cyren's renewal rate exceeded 90% and average customer tenure is approaching 8 years, a strong indication of Cyren's stickiness and the long-term value that it provides to its embedded Threat Intelligence customers.
  • During the second half of 2016, Cyren expanded its presence in Europe by launching a Sales & Marketing office in the UK to focus on the EMEA region. Cyren has added a number of new customers and distribution partners, including Cloud Distribution which focuses on the UK & Ireland markets selling cloud-based security solutions.
  • Throughout 2016, Cyren has continued to enhance its innovative Web Security Diagnostic tool, which allows users to quickly and easily test their current web security solutions for potential vulnerabilities to malware, viruses delivered over SSL, botnets and phishing. During 2016, thousands of companies used the tool to identify weaknesses in their existing appliance and cloud-based web security solutions, with over 98% of users identifying at least one vulnerability. The Web Security Diagnostic tool can be accessed on Cyren's website at http://www.cyren.com/security-test.html.
  • At the company's annual shareholder meeting in December, John Becker was appointed to Cyren's Board of Directors beginning April 1, 2017. John brings over 30 years of security and technology industry experience to Cyren, including serving as the CEO of Sourcefire prior to its $2.7 billion sale to Cisco. John also served as the CEO of ScienceLogic, Approva, Cybertrust, Trusecure and Axent Technologies.
  • Last week Cyren had a strong presence in the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco, where the company met with dozens of existing customers and hundreds of potential customer prospects. The conference is widely regarded as the pinnacle event for the security industry, and the demonstration of Cyren's CCS 4.0 platform was well received by Cyren's partners and potential customers. Prior to the show, Cyren was awarded a 2017 Cybersecurity Excellence Award by members of the information security industry.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude: stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, executive termination costs, deferred taxes and deferred revenues related to acquisitions, one-time settlement agreements, adjustments to earn-out obligations and capitalization of technology. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of the company's performance exclusive of non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of the company's core operating results. The company's non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Company management regularly uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the business and make operating decisions.

These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. The company believes this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of the business. The company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide consistent and comparable measures to help investors understand the company's current and future operating cash flow performance. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Income. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when evaluating the business internally and therefore felt it important to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors.

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including projections about the company's business, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For example, statements in the future tense, and statements including words such as "expect," "plan," "estimate," "anticipate," or "believe" are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on information available at the time of the press release and the company assumes no obligation to update any of them. The statements in this press release are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from current expectations as a result of numerous factors, including business conditions and growth or deterioration in the internet security market, technological developments, products offered by competitors, availability of qualified staff, and technological difficulties and resource constraints encountered in developing new products, as well as those risks described in the company's Annual Reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K, which are available through www.sec.gov.
