Allot Ltd.
ALLTBusiness Summary
Allot Ltd. is a provider of innovative security and network intelligence solutions for mobile, fixed, and cloud service providers, as well as enterprises globally. The company's solutions, deployed for over 25 years, encompass network-based security, including mobile security, distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection, Internet of Things (IoT) security, network and application analytics, and traffic control and shaping. Allot has recently emphasized a strategic focus on expanding its Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS) product offerings 1. The company serves a diverse customer base, including mobile and fixed broadband service providers, cable operators, satellite service providers, private networks, data centers, governments, and financial and educational institutions 2.
The core business model involves generating revenue from two primary sources: sales of network traffic management systems, network management application solutions and platforms, and security solutions to telecom providers; and the provision of maintenance, support, and professional services, including installation and training 3. A significant and growing portion of revenue is derived from direct sales to large mobile and fixed-line service providers, as well as government and law enforcement entities, with the remainder generated through a network of channel partners such as distributors, resellers, OEMs, and system integrators 4. The SECaaS solutions are offered to Communication Service Providers (CSPs) on a recurring revenue basis, either through a revenue share model with the operator's subscribers or a fixed yearly fee up to an agreed number of subscribers 5.
Allot's product and service lines are segmented into Security Solutions and Integrated Network Visibility and Traffic Management Solutions (AllotSmart). Security Solutions include the Allot Secure 360 suite, which provides end-to-end protection against cyber threats for consumers and SMBs. Key components are Allot Secure Management (ASM), Allot NetworkSecure, Allot HomeSecure, Allot DNSecure, Allot IoTSecure, Allot BusinessSecure, OffnetSecure, Allot Secure Cloud, and AllotDDoS BusinessSecure 6. For carriers, security offerings include DDoS Secure and Smart NetProtect 7. Integrated Network Visibility and Traffic Management Solutions, collectively known as AllotSmart, provide network visibility and control, enabling CSPs to manage 5G networks, access usage data and analytics (SmartVisibility), optimize Quality of Experience (SmartTraffic QoE), offer personalized service plans (SmartPCC), and comply with regulatory requirements (SmartSentinel) 8. The Allot NetXplorer serves as a centralized management platform for all devices, platforms, and solutions 9.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, Allot reported total revenues of $101,993 thousand 10. Gross profit stood at $72,552 thousand 11, resulting in a gross margin of 71.1% 12. Operating income was $3,604 thousand 13, yielding an operating margin of 3.5% 14. Net income for the period was $3,705 thousand 15, with basic and diluted EPS both at $0.08 16. Net cash provided by operating activities was $17,791 thousand 17. As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $17,107 thousand 18, available-for-sale marketable securities were $48,663 thousand 19, and short-term bank deposits were $15,100 thousand 20. Total current liabilities were $47,159 thousand 21, and long-term liabilities were $12,190 thousand 22. The company had no convertible debt outstanding as of December 31, 2025 23.
Comparing 2025 to 2024, total revenues increased by 11% 24 from $92,195 thousand 25 to $101,993 thousand 26. Product revenues increased by $0.9 million 27, or 3% 28, to $31,012 thousand 29 in 2025 from $30,068 thousand 30 in 2024. Service revenues increased by $8.9 million 31, or 14% 32, to $70,981 thousand 33 in 2025 from $62,127 thousand 34 in 2024. Product revenues comprised 30.4% 35 of total revenues in 2025, a decrease of 2.2% 36 from 2024, while service revenues increased by 2.2% 37 to 69.6% 38. Gross margin improved from 69.1% 39 in 2024 to 71.1% 40 in 2025, driven by a higher percentage of SECaaS solution recurring revenue and lower cost of services 41. Research and development expenses decreased by $1.6 million 42, or 6% 43, to $24,496 thousand 44 in 2025 from $26,112 thousand 45 in 2024, mainly due to workforce reduction and cost structure alignment 46. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.1 million 47 to $30,819 thousand 48. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.9 million 49, or 7% 50, to $13,633 thousand 51, primarily due to legal and other general expenses 52.
During 2025, Allot continued its strategic focus on expanding and advancing its SECaaS product offerings 53. The company repaid $31.41 million 54 of its outstanding principal amount under a senior unsecured convertible promissory note with Lynrock Lake Master Fund LP, with the remaining $8.59 million 55 principal converted into 1,249,995 ordinary shares 56. This resulted in a loss from extinguishment of $1,410 thousand 57. The company also issued $42,308 thousand 58 in ordinary shares during 2025 59.
Business Outlook
Management explicitly states that the growth of its SECaaS recurring revenue model has been slower than originally anticipated and that the company will need to expand the number of recurring security revenue deals and end-user penetration within existing customers to achieve its business goals 60. The company faces significant challenges in growing its security business, and failure to do so would adversely impact future growth and prospects 61. Allot's primary sales strategy is to target large, strategic accounts while implementing minimum revenue thresholds or customer assurances for small to medium-sized accounts, a shift believed to generate greater revenue and accelerate profitability, though it may decrease market share 62.
A major growth area for Allot is its AI-enhanced, network-native security architecture, which is positioned to detect and mitigate dynamic, machine-driven threats at scale 63. This evolution in cyber threats, driven by generative AI, creates a significant strategic opportunity for Allot to enable CSPs to protect subscribers and drive new recurring revenue models through differentiated security offerings 64. The company is also investing resources in the development and introduction of new products designed for deployment in public cloud environments 65.
Regarding operational outlook, Allot has implemented operational improvements and cost efficiency measures that have stabilized its cost structure, but there is no guarantee these improvements can be sustained or additional efficiencies realized 66. The company's cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues was 28.9% 67 for 2025, a decrease from 30.9% 68 in 2024, attributed to revenue mix, efficiency, and cost structure alignment 69. Research and development expenses decreased by 6% 70 to $24,496 thousand 71 in 2025, mainly due to workforce reduction and cost structure alignment 72. The company expects to continue making capital expenditures to meet the expected growth of its business 73.
Planned capital allocation includes continued investment in research and development, which management believes is essential for future success 74. Capital expenditures were $2.3 million 75 in 2025, and the company expects to continue making such expenditures to support business growth 76. As of December 31, 2025, Allot had $0.3 million 77 in outstanding non-cancelable inventory purchase obligations with a remaining term of 12 months 78. The company intends to fund its existing and future material cash requirements with its existing cash balance 79.
Structural headwinds include the commoditization of consumer security services in some geographies, which could pressure pricing and negatively impact margins and revenue 80. The market for consumer-focused cybersecurity services is becoming increasingly crowded, with large platform providers and mobile/fixed broadband operators bundling security features at little or no incremental cost 81. Additionally, large enterprise cybersecurity vendors may expand into the consumer and SMB segments, potentially reducing differentiation for Allot's network-based security solutions 82. The company's DNI technology-enabled offerings face significant competition from router and switch infrastructure companies that integrate functionalities into their platforms, a trend expected to intensify with 5G network expansion 83. The DNI market has lower long-term visibility, impacting growth prospects in this segment for 2026 84.
Risk Factors
Allot faces several material risks, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly the U.S. dollar against the Israeli shekel and Euro, which can negatively impact results of operations and financial condition 85. The company's future growth depends significantly on its ability to grow recurring revenues from SECaaS and other "as a Service" offerings, which has been slower than anticipated 86. Competition is intense from larger companies with greater resources, and new market entrants leveraging AI technologies may disrupt existing use cases and customer segments 87. Failure to keep pace with rapid technological changes, including 5G network adaptation and increased network encryption, could adversely affect revenues 88. The company has a history of losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability, with operational efficiency and cost discipline being critical 89. Customer concentration is a risk, as the ten largest customers accounted for 40.7% of total revenues in 2025 90, and the loss of any significant customer could harm results 91. Sales to large service providers involve lengthy cycles, increasing unpredictability and resource expenditure without guaranteed sales 92. Product failures or undetected software/hardware errors could adversely affect customer networks, reputation, and financial condition 93. Demand for DNI products depends on the adoption of bandwidth-intensive applications, while demand for security products relies on the continued evolution of online threats and operators' interest in providing security services 94. Issues with AI integration in products, including flaws, bias, or regulatory scrutiny, could result in reputational harm or legal liability 95. Dependence on third-party channel partners for marketing, sales, and support, and on limited sources for hardware and software components, poses supply chain and operational risks 96. Non-compliance with international regulatory regimes, including export control laws (e.g., potential violations related to Russia and Belarus disclosed in June 2025 97) and data privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA, could lead to penalties and increased costs 98. The company's location in Israel exposes it to geopolitical risks, including ongoing security concerns and military conflicts, which could disrupt operations and supply chains 99. Obligations of Israeli personnel to perform military service could also disrupt operations 100. The tax benefits available under Israeli law require specific conditions to be met and may be terminated or reduced, increasing tax liabilities 101. Government grants for R&D also impose conditions, such as local manufacturing obligations and restrictions on know-how transfer, with potential penalties for non-compliance 102.
Management Priorities
Management's overall tone emphasizes a strategic shift towards becoming a "cyber security-first" company, leveraging deep expertise in cybersecurity and network intelligence to deliver differentiated, integrated solutions 103. A key strategic priority is the expansion and advancement of SECaaS product offerings, despite slower-than-anticipated growth, by increasing the number of recurring security revenue deals and end-user penetration 104. Management also highlights the importance of continued investment in research and development to keep pace with rapid technological changes, including adapting to 5G networks and addressing emerging AI-powered cyber threats 105. The company has implemented operational improvements and cost efficiency measures, such as workforce reduction and cost structure alignment, which contributed to an increased gross margin of 71.1% 106 in 2025 107. Management aims to achieve profitability sooner by focusing on large, strategic accounts with minimum revenue thresholds 108.
