During the third quarter, Check Point delivered record quarterly results for revenues and non-GAAP net income and EPS. said Gil Shwed, chairman and chief executive officer of Check Point Software. The overall success of the quarter is a result of our pure focus on security and Unified Security Architecture.

| Leadership Recognized in Gartners 2007 Magic Quadrant Gartner, Inc. announced Check Points leadership position in the 2007 Magic Quadrant for Mobile Data Protection 2007" report. This evaluation is a validation of Check Points continuing success and commitment to securing sensitive information. Check Point offers businesses complete, industry-proven solutions that deploy quickly and easily to protect all sensitive data. |
| Awarded New Government Security Certification Certification in FIPS 140-2 for Pointsec Protector and the cryptography module utilized in Pointsec PC and Pointsec Mobile further establishes Check Point as a leading provider of data security solutions. The FIPS 140-2 standard ranks among the most difficult to achieve and is required before any encryption products can be offered to government entities. |
| Key Partner and Customer Events During the third quarter we hosted two of our annual Check Point Experience Events in Asia Pacific and Europe in which we shared our vision and solutions with key customers and partners. Weve seen over a 30% increase in the number of attendees in our European conference. |
Mr. Shwed continued, The third quarter of 2007 underscores the success we have experienced so far this year. We continue to be pleased with the performance of our data security business as we continue to lead this new and emerging market. Our core network security business is tracking better than our original expectations, driven largely by the success of our UTM-1 appliance products and Unified Security Architecture.
Recent Changes in Check
Points Financial Reporting
We have updated our financial
statement reporting in accordance with the latest reporting standards. We now
combine the Software Subscription line with the services line and it is now called
Software updates, maintenance and services. We also split the Cost of revenues line in
order to present Cost of products and licenses, cost of software updates, maintenance and
services and Amortization of technology separately.
Use of Non-GAAP
Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial
results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Check Point
uses non-GAAP measures of net income, operating income and earnings per share, which are
adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude non-cash equity-based compensation
charges in accordance with SFAS 123R and acquisition related charges. Check Points
management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful
to investors understanding and assessment of Check Points on-going core
operations and prospects for the future. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial
information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results
prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in
evaluating and operating business internally and as such has determined that it is
important to provide this information to investors.
