Cimatron Reports Strong Third Quarter Results with Net Profit of $0.9M on a Non-GAAP Basis

Cimatron Limited (NASDAQ: CIMT) ("Cimatron" or the "Company"), a leading provider of integrated CAD/CAM solutions for the toolmaking and manufacturing industries, today announced financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2010.

Financial highlights
- Q3/10 total revenue up 26% year-over-year on a constant currency basis
- Q3/10 new licenses revenue up 51% year-over-year on a constant currency basis
- Operating results in the first nine months of 2010 improved by $2.5M year-over-year

    - $4.3 million positive cash flow from operating activities in the first
      nine months of 2010, an 86% year-over-year increase

    - $10.2M cash balance at end of Q3/10

Commenting on the results, Danny Haran, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cimatron, said "We are very pleased with the strong third quarter results. We have seen solid growth in all our territories and all product lines, in what seems more and more like a sustainable market recovery. Traditionally, the third quarter is the weakest quarter of each year, due to the long summer vacations. This year presents a notable exception, with quarter-over-quarter improvement in all parameters from the second to the third quarter. The combination of continued revenue growth and tight budget control results in significant profitability improvement and strong cash flow. We are especially excited about the rapid growth in sales of new licenses, which is the best indication of market confidence and change in the business environment. Early indications suggest that this trend continues into Q4, which is traditionally the strongest quarter of each year", concluded Mr. Haran.

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Income included herein. Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to include recognition of deferred revenues of acquired companies and to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets and deferred income tax, as well as certain business combination accounting entries. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. We believe that these non-GAAP measures help investors to understand our current and future operating performance, especially as our two most recent acquisitions have resulted in amortization and non-cash items that have had a material impact on our GAAP results. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
