Rainbow Technologies Reports Strong Q4 and FY 2003 Earnings
Earnings and Revenues Increase on Continued Strong Demand for
Secure Communications Products, eSecurity Products; SafeNet Merger
Outlook Points To Positive Growth IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 11
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rainbow Technologies, Inc., a leading
provider of digital content and transaction security for the
Internet, SSL VPNs, software applications and high assurance
security solutions, today announced revenues for Q4 2003 of $39.2
million, up 17 percent year-over-year. The company reported GAAP
net income of $2.8 million, or $0.10 per share in Q4-2003, compared
with a profit from continuing operations of $0.08 per share in
Q4-2002. Total GAAP net income for Q4-2002 was $4.8 million, or
$0.18 per share. In addition, the company incurred approximately
$2.3 million in expenses related to the anticipated merger with
SafeNet, Inc. These expenses were partially offset by a $1.1
million change in estimates that resulted in a reduction for
certain reserves. For FY2003, Rainbow Technologies reported GAAP
revenues of $141.8 million in FY2003 compared with $126.0 million
in FY2002. Rainbow's FY2003 GAAP earnings were $7.5 million, or
$0.28 per diluted share, compared with a FY2002 net loss of $37.7
million, or $1.43 per diluted share. GAAP revenues for the
company's Secure Communications business segment for Q4 were $22.9
million, up 12 percent year-over-year. The growth is primarily
attributed to strong demand for high performance secure
communications chips. Q4-2003 GAAP revenues for the eSecurity
business segment were $16.75 million, up 25 percent year-over-year.
The increase in revenue in the eSecurity segment is primarily due
to revenues of acquired Luna products from Chrysalis. The
acquisition of Chrysalis-ITS was completed last quarter. "I am
pleased that we have met our quarterly and annual revenue goals,"
said Walt Straub, president and CEO, Rainbow Technologies. "I am
optimistic about the growth opportunities for Rainbow in 2004. In
October 2003, we announced a plan to merge with SafeNet. The merger
is subject to shareholder approval and other conditions. I strongly
believe the combined company will become the premier network
security and OEM security provider." Excluding the impact of the
$2.3 million in merger-related expenses, the non-GAAP earnings per
share for Q4-2003 were approximately $0.16 per share. Excluding the
impact of the merger-related expenses and $3.6 million in
litigation settlement expenses incurred during Q2-2003, the
non-GAAP earnings per share for FY2003 were approximately $0.45 per
share. Q4-2003 FY-2003 Non-GAAP net/share $0.16 $0.45 Merger Exp
($0.06) ($0.06) Litigation $0.00 ($0.09) GAAP net/share $0.10 $0.28
