-- Record Q1 for both software license revenues and maintenance revenues

(PRNewswire) —  Cimatron Limited (NASDAQ: CIMT), a leading provider of integrated CAD/CAM software solutions for the toolmaking and manufacturing industries, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2013. 

Commenting on the results, Danny Haran, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cimatron, noted, "We are pleased to report yet another record first quarter in terms of software license and maintenance revenues. Moreover, we are pleased with the healthy growth in our recurring maintenance revenues, indicating the increased confidence that our customers have in our software solutions, in realizing the benefits of staying updated with our latest product versions. While our overall year-over-year revenue growth was modest in the quarter, this was due mainly to license revenue recognition considerations that dictated deferring certain revenues. We believe that we will be able to recognize these later on this year.

We continue to explore the opportunities in software solutions for the field of additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3D printing, and we are looking into how we can better serve customers who apply this emerging technology into their manufacturing processes. In line with our additive manufacturing strategy, we are also examining partnerships and M&A opportunities with companies that possess technologies related to this field.

Given the opportunities we see in some of our markets, we recently increased our investment in sales and marketing, with emphasis on the emerging markets and the territories that we have identified with stronger potential for further growth. We trust that these efforts, together with full adoption by customers of the new CimatronE and GibbsCAM product versions in all regions, will bear fruit in the coming quarters," 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 and other 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.
