CRNT), a leading provider of LTE-ready high-capacity Ethernet and TDM wireless backhaul
solutions, today reported results for the second quarter which ended June 30, 2009.

million for the second quarter of 2008 and 4% from $43.9 million in the first quarter of 2009.

share, compared to net income of $15.5 million in the second quarter of 2008, or $0.42 per
basic share and $0.40 per diluted share.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter, excluding $805,000 of
equity-based compensation expenses, was $1.04 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $4.9 million, or $0.13 per basic

GAAP financial information to non-GAAP).

Gross margin on a GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2009 was 32% of revenues.
Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2009 was 32.1% of revenues.
Cash and cash investments at the end of the quarter were $96 million.

“Our confidence in the long term outlook for our business is supported by a
significant increase in new orders during Q2,” said Ira Palti, President and CEO of Ceragon.
“These new orders continue to reflect improving demand from the expansion of GSM
networks in India to accommodate record subscriber growth. Meanwhile, worldwide business
conditions remain challenging with long sales cycles as our customers continue to focus on
retaining cash. We expect to see gradual improvement during the second half of 2009, led by
continued strength from Asia. Longer term, we expect to benefit from improving demand in
all regions, particularly for solutions that support the migration of cellular networks to IPbased
architecture to accommodate the explosion of mobile data usage.”
