Business Highlights

The transformation of our appliance family that began in 2012 is complete with the introduction of our new low-end appliances designed to meet the security needs of small businesses and branch offices, the 600 and 1100 series:

600 Series Appliances Designed to address the security needs of small businesses with less than 100 employees.  The 600 Series delivers the full Check Point Software Blade architecture (Next Generation Firewall, IPS, Threat Prevention, etc.) with an extremely easy to use Web user interface and features performance up to 1.5Gbps, at prices ranging from $399-$1,200. The 600 appliance just won the Network World Clear Choice Award.  See below.

1100 Series Appliances Targeted at enterprise remote offices and optimized for large-scale deployments of hundreds of branch offices.  The 1100 Series offers customers the ability to utilize the Check Point Software Blade architecture with centralized enterprise management capabilities and offers performance up to 1.5Gbps, at prices ranging from $599-$2,000.

In addition, we introduced a new data center appliance series, augmenting the 12000 and 21000 lines:

13000 Series Appliances The 13500 Appliance, the first in a new line of 13000 Appliances, delivers blazing-fast security performance, leveraging a wide spectrum of software optimizations and accelerations that in turn maximize hardware utilization, with performance of up to 77Gbps and a starting price of $79,000.

Industry Accolades:
 
Network World Clear Choice Award The Network World Clear Choice Test Shootout recognized the Check Point 640 appliance as the number one Unified Threat Management (UTM) product for small businesses, having outperformed seven other comparable products tested in both capabilities and price.

Top Position in Worldwide Combined Firewall and UTM Appliance Market Check Point continued to be the number one vendor in worldwide combined Firewall and UTM appliance revenue for FY 2012 and Q1 2013, according to the IDC Worldwide Quarterly Security Appliance Tracker Q1 2013.

2013 Frost & Sullivan Malaysia Excellence Awards 2013 Frost & Sullivan Malaysia Network Security Vendor of the Year.

New Mobile Security Report Check Point published its second mobile security report which revealed that the majority of businesses (79%) had a mobile security incident in the past year. The report quantifies the dramatic growth of BYOD, exposes the frequency and cost of mobile security incidents, and identifies the main mobile security challenges faced by businesses of all sizes. 

“We continue to provide the highest level of defense against cyber security risks to our customers. With our unique Software Blade architecture, a single Check Point gateway can provide customers with integrated security protections that could otherwise require up to 15 disparate security products from multiple vendors. We continue to elevate our customers’ security today, to address the challenges of tomorrow,” Shwed concluded.

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, operating margin and earnings per share, which are adjustments from results based on GAAP to exclude non-cash equity-based compensation charges, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and the related tax effects. Check Point’s management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors’ understanding and assessment of Check Point’s ongoing core operations and prospects for the future. Historically, Check Point has also publicly presented these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures in order to assist the investment community to see the Company “through the eyes of management,” and thereby enhance understanding of its operating performance. 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. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements contained in this press release. 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.
