Shares of Allot rose after the company narrowed its loss and logged higher revenue in the first quarter, boosted by the increased adoption of its products.
The stock climbed 25%, to $7.94, in afternoon trading Monday. Shares have nearly quadrupled in the past year, despite having fallen 12% in the last three months.
The Israel-based company, which provides network-intelligence and security solutions, posted a loss of $332,000, or 1 cent a share, for the quarter, compared with a loss of $2.5 million, or 7 cents a share, a year earlier.
Stripping out one time items, Allot notched adjusted earnings of 2 cents a share.
Revenue increased to $23.2 million from $21.9 million.
Chief Executive Eyal Harari said the company recently signed a number of multi-million dollar agreements with new customers for its Smart products such as Smart5G, which provides network-intelligence solutions to communication service providers, and SmartVisibility, which provides network analytics to CSPs.
He added that the company's security-as-a-service offerings are scaling quickly, with revenue increasing 49% from last year, to $5.1 million.
Looking forward, Allot guided for profitable growth in 2025, with both security-as-a-service revenue and annual recurring revenue achieving year-over-year increases of 50% or more.
