Zhone Technologies Reports Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results

October 20, 2009 4:00 PM EDT

OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZHNE), a global leader in network access solutions, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2009 was $36.0 million compared with $30.3 million for the second quarter of 2009 and $32.0 million for the third quarter of 2008. Net loss for the third quarter of 2009, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), was $1.2 million or $0.01 per share compared with a net loss of $2.3 million or $0.02 per share for the second quarter of 2009, and a net loss of $6.5 million or $0.04 per share for the third quarter of 2008. Pro forma earnings before stock-based compensation, interest, taxes, depreciation, restructuring, lease liability accrual, gain on sale of intangible assets and goodwill impairment ("EBITDA") was a $0.1 million profit for the third quarter of 2009, compared to a pro forma EBITDA loss of $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2009, and pro forma EBITDA loss of $4.6 million for the third quarter of 2008.

"Strong sequential revenue growth for the second straight quarter led to better than expected earnings. This revenue growth was driven by broad based deployment of our new products in the U.S. and abroad as we begin a new major product cycle for the company," stated Mory Ejabat, Zhone's chief executive officer. "As a result, we generated slightly positive proforma EBITDA ahead of schedule and are on track to improve proforma EBITDA profitability in the fourth quarter."

Zhone will conduct a conference call and audio webcast today, October 20, 2009, at approximately 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET to review its third quarter 2009 results. This call is open to the public by dialing +1 (800) 237-9752 for U.S. callers and +1 (617) 847-8706 for international callers and then entering passcode 18383089. The audio webcast will be simultaneously available on the Investor Relations section of Zhone's website at http://www.zhone.com/investors/.

A replay of the conference call will be available after the original call by dialing +1 (888) 286-8010 for U.S. callers and +1 (617) 801-6888 for international callers and then entering passcode 48028058. An audio webcast replay will also be available online at http://www.zhone.com/investors/ for approximately one week following the original call.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Zhone's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Zhone uses pro forma EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure Zhone believes is appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of Zhone's past financial performance and prospects for the future. These adjustments to GAAP results are made with the intent of providing greater transparency to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. These non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators that management uses as a basis for making operating decisions because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the company's operational performance, including the company's ability to provide cash flows to invest in research and development, and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management's internal comparisons to the company's historical operating results and comparisons to competitors' operating results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between net loss calculated on a GAAP basis and pro forma EBITDA on a non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
