Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
Thank you. We are pleased to report another strong quarter with growth in revenue, profitability and cash flow. Our fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year growth is an acceleration over recent quarters. We were particularly pleased with North America, where strong execution drove a solid increase in sales and backlog, underpinning our confidence in the growth we expect in the second half. Our cybersecurity-as-a-service business, C-SaaS, continues to power our growth, with C-SaaS revenue growing 47% year over year to account for over a third of our revenues and C-SaaS ARR up 44%.
This continues to scale our recurring revenue base, which represented two thirds of total revenue in the quarter, giving us greater visibility into the quarters ahead and improving the predictability of our revenues. Overall, our business is executing well and performing ahead of our expectations. Let me focus on North America, one of the highlights of the quarter. The region made up 31% of the revenues versus 17% in the second quarter of last year and 14% last quarter.
This was driven by very solid product sales, with particularly strong interest in our new Tera 3 platform, and by continued demand for our Smart product line, reflecting the value operators see in the network visibility and control our platform delivers. In addition, our major U.S. C-SaaS customer continues to perform very well in line with our strong expectations. Beyond that, we entered the second half with a strong backlog and healthy demand, giving us added confidence for the rest of the year.
North America is a strategic priority for us, and it is very encouraging to see that focus translating into revenue, backlog and pipeline. Turning to our cybersecurity-as-a-service business, this continues to perform strongly and in line with our expectations. We had several wins during the quarter, each demonstrating a different way in which we are growing the business, and all classic examples of our land-and-expand strategy. We secured four new C-SaaS deals in the quarter, all of them in the EMEA region.
First, we won an upsell deal in Europe, selling a new service to an existing C-SaaS customer: the first sale of our Identity Monitoring service. This telco will be offering our Identity Monitoring service to its SMB customers. This is a domain-level identity theft monitoring service. It continuously monitors for exposure of the business's digital identities, and it's designed to alert the customers when credentials or other identity data have been compromised so that they can act before that exposure is exploited, and it is designed to do so for every user across the organization.
It is a good example of how we are extending our SMB security suite beyond the network, alongside off-net secure firewall as a service and DDoS protection. Second, we won an expansion to the SMB segment within an existing European-based customer. Third, we secured a new win within one of our large global telco groups, adding our HomeSecure service in another country. The HomeSecure solution enhances threat protection across the telco's mobile and broadband networks.
It integrates into the existing home router and provides zero-touch home network visibility, cybersecurity and parental controls. Finally, we won a new C-SaaS deal in Africa with a telco that is already a Smart customer. Together, these wins reflect the breadth of our C-SaaS growth—new customers, geographies, end-user segments and applications—all on the same platform. We expect these deals to contribute to our future C-SaaS revenue growth in 2027.
Our Smart product line remains a highly complementary part of our unified cybersecurity-first platform and is built on decades of Allot innovation and delivering best-in-class network intelligence. We continue to execute well on the multimillion-dollar projects won in recent quarters, including deployments and upgrades of our Tera 3 platform with Tier 1 operators. As a reminder, Tera 3 is our next-generation ultra-high-capacity multi-service gateway.
It is among the highest-capacity platforms of its kind in the market, and it consolidates deep network visibility, traffic management and cybersecurity services onto a single platform. Customer feedback has been excellent. Operators are running both cybersecurity and traffic intelligence workloads on the same gateways, and they value its carrier-grade stability and reliability, and its ability to scale cost efficiently with 5G and fiber traffic growth without expanding their footprint.
We also provide a smooth upgrade path from our earlier service gateway generations, which protects the investment that they have already made. This quarter, demand for our Smart product was particularly strong in North America. As part of the Smart product innovation, we recently ran a case study with a Tier 1 operator to demonstrate Allot's new zero-rating fraud detection and mitigation service. Zero-rated applications and app-based charging plans create value for subscribers, but they also open the door to fraud.
Attackers are increasingly exploiting vulnerabilities to bypass charging systems and consume data without payment. Our solution helps CSPs identify fraud, and a case study showed that we reduced fraud and fraudulent traffic by 87%. This shows how operators can recover lost revenue while protecting the integrity of their zero-rating offers. We are already building our backlog for 2027, with an additional win of an important Tera 3 upgrade project with a customer for a new site expansion.
Our pipeline remains healthy, with existing customers planning their Tera platform upgrades and new engagements advancing through our sales process, and these multiyear projects are expected to provide good revenue visibility into 2027 and beyond. During the second quarter, we presented and met customers at a number of key industry conferences. This included DTW in Copenhagen, FutureNet World in London, Interop in Tokyo, Network X Americas in Dallas, and CommsDay in Sydney.
Feedback was very positive, with customers and prospects continuing to respond well to our converged cybersecurity and network intelligence positioning. Events like these continue to build our pipeline, and it is clear that our cybersecurity-first strategy resonates well with operators globally. At the end of the second quarter, our Board of Directors approved a share purchase program of up to $40 million. This reflects our confidence in Allot's strategy and financial strength.
With more than $100 million in cash and no debt, we are well positioned to increase value to shareholders while continuing to invest in the long-term growth of the business. In summary, we are very pleased with our second quarter performance—our fourth consecutive quarter of solid improvement with accelerating growth, continued momentum in C-SaaS, standout performance in North America, and further gains in margin, profitability and cash flow. As we are performing ahead of our expectations, we are raising and narrowing our 2026 revenue guidance to between $115 million and $118 million, from the previous range of $113 million to $117 million, with ongoing improvement in profitability. This is driven by accelerating order momentum from our North American customers, our backlog, and the continued high growth of C-SaaS. Allot is in its strongest position in over a decade, and it is well positioned to build on its profitable, cash-generation, recurring revenue-led growth in the quarters and years ahead. And now I would like to hand it over to our CFO, Liat Nahum, for the financial summary.
Liat, please go ahead.
Liat Nahum, Chief Financial Officer
Thanks, Eyal. We reported revenue of 27.7 million in the quarter, up 15% year over year. Revenue from our security as a service was 9.4 million in the quarter, up 47% year over year, comprising 34% of our total revenue. Our security as a service annual recurring revenue as of June 30, 2026 was 36.1 million, up 44% year over year. Deferred revenue, which includes recurring maintenance and support, continued to grow both year over year and quarter over quarter, increasing the strong visibility we have into remaining 2026 and 2027 revenue.
Sixty-seven percent of our overall revenue this quarter was recurring in nature. I will now discuss the non-GAAP financial measures. For all our financial results, including the GAAP financial measures and the various breakdowns of our revenue, please refer to the table in our results press release. Our non-GAAP gross margin in the quarter was 71.8% compared with 73.4% in the second quarter of last year. The year-over-year decline mainly reflects the product mix in the quarter.
That said, gross margin remains strong and consistent with our expectation of around 70% for 2026. Non-GAAP operating expense for the quarter was 17.2 million compared with 16.4 million in the second quarter of last year. The increase reflects our continued investment in sales and marketing to support our pipeline build. General and administrative expenses in the quarter increased compared with the second quarter of last year, mainly due to one-time costs associated with the modification of one of our office lease agreements following changes we made in this office.
While making these selective investments in sales and marketing, we remain disciplined and operationally efficient, with operating expenses as a percentage of revenue declining to 62% from 68% a year ago. We reported non-GAAP operating income of 2.7 million with an operating margin of 9.9%, compared with a non-GAAP operating income of 1.2 million, or an operating margin of 5%, in the second quarter of last year. Allot had 501 full-time employees as of June 30, 2026.
In terms of non-GAAP net profit, we reported 4.6 million in the quarter, or a profit of $0.09 per diluted share, compared with a non-GAAP net income of 1.5 million, or a profit of $0.03 per diluted share, in the second quarter of last year. On a GAAP basis, net income for the quarter was 2.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of 1.7 million, or a loss of $0.04 per diluted share, in the second quarter of last year. GAAP net income for the quarter included a one-time 1.2 million financial gain related to our office lease modification, reflecting the remeasurement of our lease liability.
We do not expect this to reoccur. We generated particularly strong operating cash flow of 8.0 million in the second quarter, compared with 4 million in the second quarter of last year, reflecting robust profitability and strong cash collections. On June 23, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to 40 million, which we will execute in line with market conditions. Repurchases may be made at management’s discretion in the open market.
The timing and the amount of the repurchase will depend on market conditions, share price, liquidity, and other factors. According to the company regulation in Israel, we are obliged to give 30 days’ notice during which any creditor may object to the buyback. The 30 days have now passed and there were no objections. Allot has a robust balance sheet with no debt; cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits, restricted deposits, and investments as of June 30, 2026 totaled 107 million versus 88 million as of December 31, 2025.
Looking ahead to the rest of 2026, given our performance in the first half of the year and the strength of our backlog, as Eyal mentioned, we are raising our full-year 2026 revenue guidance to between 115 to 118 million for the full year. We expect security as a service revenue growth of 40% or more. Our gross margin expectation for the full year remains in the range of 70%, with the specific gross margin in any given quarter depending on our product mix.
On the operating expense side, we expect to continue at a similar run rate to the current quarter, excluding the one-time expense. Overall, we continue to expect profitability improvement over the coming quarters of 2026. That ends my summary. Eyal and I are now happy to take your questions.

Shaul Eyal, Analyst
Thank you. Thank you. Good morning, good afternoon, everybody. Congrats on yet another very solid set of results and guidance. Liat, actually I want to start with you and ask about operating cash flow. Still more than doubling year over year this quarter, but slightly below last quarter, which, if I recall correctly, had some cash advancements. So just asking if there were any—if there are any unusual items this quarter we should be mindful of? And I have a follow-up.
Liat Nahum, Chief Financial Officer
Yes. So as we shared last quarter, we had a very strong operating cash flow in Q1 related to the major deal that we reported a year ago, and we started collecting. And last quarter indeed it was a one-time event. We continue to see a very positive momentum in our cash flow. We finished the quarter at 8.5 million, and I think this represents also our business model and our, let's say, our future expectations around the deals that we are signing. Overall, no major one-time event this quarter on the operating cash flow—just continuing the momentum around our business model of the security as a service, which is generating a very good cash flow.
Shaul Eyal, Analyst
Understood. Understood. Thank you for this color. Eyal or Liat, I know you don't disclose backlog or RPO metrics on a quarterly basis, but given your improved profitability and visibility, what kind of qualitative commentary can you offer us as we think about backlog or RPO? Is it fair to assume it's pretty much at all-time highs right now?
Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
So we reported in our yearly report RPO, and as you could see—it was, I believe, end of March—it is really in a very high level of backlog. We are going to issue media reports as we do every year, and the KPI will be available there. Overall, our performance and booking is strong, and following the announcements we made in the last 12 months, it's fairly assumed that this continues to be very high.
Shaul Eyal, Analyst
Loud and clear. Thank you so much. Good luck. Congrats.
Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
Thank you very much.

The next question is from Matt Calitri from Needham. Please go ahead.
Matt Calitri, Analyst at Needham
Hey guys, this is Matt Calitri over at Needham. Thank you for taking our questions. Is there any more color you can provide on the strength you saw in North America? Maybe just anything on like how much of the strength you would attribute to product versus CCAS, and then where are you getting the confidence that this is a sustainable long-term opportunity?
Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Matt. As we commented on the prepared remarks, we see strength both on the CCAS and the Smart product line. The CCAS is obviously more recurring and consistent as it's quarter-over-quarter subscription fees and therefore more sustainable and predictable. But as we noted, this quarter we had also very strong Smart product sales, which increased the share of North America in the region. Product sales are obviously non-recurring and therefore not every quarter is going to be the same.
But we do continue to invest in the region as we see this as a strategic region to support our long-term growth. So we are very pleased with our performance with both product lines. In specific to this quarter, the extra strength came from the Smart product line on top of the large contribution to the CCAS.
Matt Calitri, Analyst at Needham
Got it. That's clear. Thank you. Are you able to dive into it at all? Like, was a lot of the strength associated with a top 10 customer, or what drove the large increase in top 10 customers as a percentage of revenue in the quarter?
Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
Yeah, we have some large deals, and as noted on the product side, we see a demand for the Terrace 3 platform. Terrace 3 platform is sizable deals—usually it's seven-digit opportunities—and we had a few of them in the last few quarters that we announced, and they are now translating into revenue and therefore, on the quarterly level, it increases the share of those top customers. Usually the Terrace is purchased by the larger carriers because it's a high-capacity, high-end platform, and on a quarterly basis it usually gets them into the top 10 accounts.
We still see that the company is very healthy with relatively low concentration. As of last year we didn't have any 10% account, and we continue to see demand coming from all regions and from multiple accounts.
Matt Calitri, Analyst at Needham
Great, awesome. And then maybe just one more on those other regions. So revenue in EMEA and APAC actually declined sequentially. What did you see there during the quarter, and how did that compare to expectation?
Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
So as noted, the fluctuations are usually around the product side. That depends when the revenue lands, because we have deals that are in the multimillion-dollar range. Therefore it depends on the timing of the exact revenue recognition. This is very normal for Allot, and this was always the case, and this is part of the plan. And we have and expect to see different balance between regions between quarters, depending on the specific timing of the larger deals that we recognize.
Matt Calitri, Analyst at Needham
Very clear. Thanks so much.
Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Matt.

The next question is from Nihal Chokshi from Northland. Please go ahead.
Nihal Chokshi, Analyst at Northland
Sorry, I had myself on mute there. Thank you, and congrats on another strong quarter. Two questions, if I may. First one is, current portion of deferred revenue is up 7.5 million Q/Q, which is on top of another 13.4 million from Q1. So the driver of these big increases presumably is Terra product revenue and associated maintenance, is that correct?
Liat Nahum, Chief Financial Officer
Yes. So as you mentioned, indeed, Q2 versus Q1, our deferred revenue increased, and if you look at the entire six months also you see the big increase in our deferred revenue. Deferred revenue usually for us represents those product deals that have not yet been recognized. As we shared last quarter, we had a large deferred revenue related to the big deal that we announced last year. And in addition, deferred revenue represents the support and the maintenance recurring revenue.
Overall, for us, it's a very good positive sign, because when we look at our deferred revenue growing quarter over quarter, it gives us a very good visibility for the remaining of 2026 and 2027.
Nihal Chokshi, Analyst at Northland
So given that this is deferred revenue, you expect it to roll off obviously within the next 12 months. But can you give us a sense within which of the quarters of the next 12 months we can expect this to roll off and hit the income statement?
Liat Nahum, Chief Financial Officer
So it really depends. If it's product, as Eyal mentioned, product can fluctuate between quarters. But if you look at our support and maintenance, this is more or less on the same runway. As you can see, we have short-term deferred revenue, but we have also long-term deferred revenue. So short-term deferred revenue, if you look, should be recognized in the next 12 months. And then we have additional 7.5 million of long-term deferred revenue, which will materialize only starting the second half of 2027.
Nihal Chokshi, Analyst at Northland
Okay. All right. And then, in order to hit the guidance CCAS ARR growth of at least 40%, incremental CCAS ARR for 2H26 will need to be 7 million. How should we think about the sequencing of that incremental CCAS ARR in Q3 and Q4?
Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
So it's very hard to predict the exact number. But you could see from the past performance, the run rate is relatively at a similar level and it's quite stable. We always rely on the performance of our partners on the CSPs that are marketing the service, and it depends on their marketing campaigns and marketing activities. This could go a bit faster or slower in a specific quarter. But overall, on the full year we see that we are at a quite sustainable growth rate.
UNKNOWN Analyst
Okay, and just to be clear, this does imply a step up in the CCaaS ARR in 2H26 relative to 1H26. What do you expect to be the driver of that step up?
Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
So ARR is driven by four vectors of growth. As we always mention, the first and most short term is additional customers that are onboarding to the service with our existing customers that already market the service. The second one, as we announced this quarter, is about existing partners that add additional solutions either into new network domains, like one customer that we used to work with only on consumer and now they are expanding it into the SMB segment.
Or customers that already offer to a segment like the SMB and now add another application, like the identity theft monitoring, which creates an accelerated growth potential. Last is of course new partnerships, new logos. We had one of those this quarter as well. In this quarter, it was an existing smart customer that is now going to start offering the CCaaS, and those four vectors are driving growth over time. In the shorter, more quarter-by-quarter changes, it's really reliant on how many end customers are onboarding to the services already available in the market.
And this is what we need our partners to execute well in order to achieve growth.
UNKNOWN Analyst
All right, thank you.
Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
Thank you.

The next question is from Jonathan from Cantor. Please go ahead.
Jonathan, Analyst at Cantor
Yeah, thank you. So Eyal, I wanted to dig down a little bit more in terms of the Terra 3 adoption you're seeing and the correlation to the opportunity around the Smart platform. What I understand is that some of those carriers that are on an older version of that hardware infrastructure need to migrate to Terra 3 first. So maybe you can talk to that dynamic as it relates to demand you see for the Smart platform.
Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
Sure. So the new Terra 3 platform that we launched during 2025 is high-end capacity that can reach up to 3 terabytes of capacity, but it also provides high-density communication, like 400-gig links and many 100-gig ports for traffic management. We see demand both from new customers that are now going into RFPs, and definitely also from existing customers that are using our previous generations whose networks are growing. They are refreshing their data centers, their sites, to support more capacity, and this creates a demand for expansion.
I would note that the Terra 3, as mentioned before, is typically for the larger opportunities. It usually ends with seven-digit deals, and therefore we are talking about a relatively, I would say, small number of opportunities, but with very large impact. The larger amount of our customers are not requiring many terabytes in different sites, obviously, and they can use different products that we have that are designed for, let's say, the mid-market and the smaller carriers.
So we do see very good feedback from customers. They really love the product. They like the ability to see both network intelligence and cybersecurity use cases over the same platform. They really like the future proof of this architecture that is built cloud-native to allow us to support and scale capacity. And this is what creates the demand. I think in the last 12 months we announced about half a dozen of Terra 3 deals, and this is what was building our backlog.
And we still have many more opportunities like that in our pipeline, and we expect this refresh cycle to continue in the next few years, as different carriers are upgrading and need this capacity earlier, but some probably will need those 400-gig capabilities and so on a bit later down the road.
Jonathan, Analyst at Cantor
That's very helpful. How important is the integration of some of the CCaaS offerings into that platform to competitiveness and winning deals? Is that something you're seeing attach rates for, or is it mostly the high-performance requirement that's driving that growth?
Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
We believe it's both. But you know, the beauty about the ability to run the CCaaS service on this platform is that this could change that from being an investment in the network infrastructure—that is always important, but budgets are tight—to a product that can help you to monetize and make money. So what our customers really love is that now multiple organizations—from the CTO organization, operations, the CISO, but now also the product—can share the infrastructure investment and therefore, in a very capex-tight environment for the CSP, where they are under pressure to improve profitability and show ways to maintain and hopefully increase their output for their customers, this is a very appealing proposition. So it really positions us differently when we are competing with just network infrastructure providers. And I believe this is a great value proposition for our customers, and this is why we are seeing success in this area.
Jonathan, Analyst at Cantor
Yeah. Yep. Okay. Very helpful. Thank you very much.
Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
Thank you.

The next question is from Jonathan Ho from William Blair. Please go ahead.
Jonathan Ho, Analyst at William Blair
Hi, good morning. I just wanted to maybe start with your identity services. Can you talk a little bit about sort of the initial reception from customers and pipeline build opportunity around some of these CCaaS services, and what does that look like from an uplift standpoint?
Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
So, Jonathan, we just started to market this, and we are seeing the demand coming from two directions. One is existing customers that are looking to add more value to their customers. We see some customers that are looking at this as an opportunity to increase their fee, their monthly fee, but they want to show more value to their customers. In some other cases, they see it as a need because of competitive pressure. Maybe their competitor operator in the country is already offering similar service and therefore they need to add it to the cybersecurity package they offer.
So it really depends on the specific market conditions. We don't see it as a core offering for our product. We still focus on the network security. This is where our strength is. But I think the beauty of this application is the ability to complement and provide 360 degrees protection for our customers. In addition, with new customers, now that we are going into new opportunities, we have a more robust product offering. Not all of the solutions for cybersecurity can offer you one platform with all the cyber protections you need.
And we believe that eventually people are looking for simplicity, and this is why we continue to add more and more applications into the portfolio. So I wouldn't view it as one application that is going to be a game changer, but more of a holistic view that the platform—being able to provide multiple additional values and really comprehensive protection—is what is going to create the biggest effect over time.
Jonathan Ho, Analyst at William Blair
Got it, got it. And then maybe a little bit more color on the zero-rating fraud prevention that you talked about. How big of a market opportunity could that be? And is this similar in terms of maybe improving the competitiveness of your product but not necessarily a standalone market on its own? I just want to get a sense for how you think about that zero-rating product as well.
Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
Yeah, the zero-rate product is not a market by its own. It's more of another use case on the Terra 3 platform and network intelligence. People that implement our Smart product lines want to see how they can better manage and optimize the network. And as mentioned in a previous question, this is a cost, this is an infrastructure investment to improve quality, manage bottlenecks, and so on. Identifying use cases like that that actually create real monetization for the operator—because we unblock hidden revenue leakage and by that we can recover them data packages that they are being ripped off and they can recover and get more money—this is more an indirect way for them to justify the reason for the platform. So this is the way we view it and this is the way we position it. And it's mainly relevant for customers in regions where fraud is popular. We know that in some regions you can just get an all-you-can-eat package, like in North America. In these cases, people tend less to do those frauds. But in some regions, more in developing countries, this is a big issue because they still pay per gigabit, and we are helping our customers to avoid the revenue leakage.
Jonathan Ho, Analyst at William Blair
That makes sense. Just one last one for me. How do you think about your capital allocation priorities? I'm just wondering why the share buyback now and how do you sort of balance returning value to customers with continued investments? Thank you.
Eyal Harari, Chief Executive Officer
So the reason and timing is really because of the strengths we see in the business. We see that we have four consecutive quarters of double-digit growth. We see that we are cash flow positive, I believe for seven quarters if I'm not wrong. And we see that we have enough cash today to have the balance both on investing in our product growth and investing in organic growth, as the option to explore inorganic growth opportunities, as well as we wanted to keep the optionality to have buyback in case we see the market terms are suitable.
So I think this is, in general, a vote of confidence of the board in the company's strength and it shows our maturity. And like many other companies, this is, I would say, normal course of business to have a buyback plan in place so we can leverage in case the relevant market conditions allow that.
