Allot Ltd. ALLT is scheduled to report its first-quarter 2025 results on May 12, before the bell.
ALLT’s Q1 Expectations
Despite signs of a turnaround, the company may face headwinds that could weigh on both revenue and earnings. One major concern is the timing of deals and associated revenue recognition. In the fourth quarter of 2024, Allot posted a sharp 55% year-over-year decline in product revenues, largely due to delays in deal closures and when revenues were able to be officially recorded. If these timing challenges continue into the first quarter, the financials could once again reflect suppressed top-line performance, even if demand remains steady in the longer term.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Allot’s revenues in the first quarter of 2025 is pegged at $20.2 million, implying a 7.7% year-over-year decline. Loss per share is pegged at 5 cents compared with a year-ago loss of 3 cents per share.
