July 27, 2015 4:02 PM

SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/27/15 -- Harmonic Inc. (NASDAQ: HLIT), the worldwide leader in video delivery infrastructure, announced today its preliminary and unaudited results for the second quarter of 2015.

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $103.1 million, compared with $104.0 million for the first quarter of 2015 and $109.6 million for the second quarter of 2014.

Bookings for the second quarter of 2015 were $99.3 million, compared with $97.3 million for the first quarter of 2015 and $113.4 million for the second quarter of 2014.

Total backlog and deferred revenue was $120.6 million as of July 3, 2015, compared to $122.2 million as of April 3, 2015.

GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2015 was $(1.0) million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, compared with a GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2015 of $(2.7) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, and a GAAP net loss of $(37.1) million, or $(0.39) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $4.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with a non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2015 of $4.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, and a non-GAAP net income of $1.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" below.

GAAP gross margin was 52.7% and GAAP operating margin was (0.3)% for the second quarter of 2015, compared with 52.9% and 0.01%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2015, and 45.5% and (7.9)%, respectively, for the same period in 2014.

Non-GAAP gross margin was 53.2% and non-GAAP operating margin was 5.1% for the second quarter of 2015, compared with 53.9% and 5.9%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2015, and 50.1% and 2.2%, respectively, for the same period in 2014. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" below.

Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $105.1 million at the end of the second quarter of 2015, up $3.2 million from $101.9 million at the end of the prior quarter. In the second quarter of 2015, the Company generated approximately $11.6 million of cash from operations, and used approximately $7.0 million to repurchase approximately one million shares of common stock under its share repurchase program.

"Year-over-year earnings growth and margin expansion was driven by our Video business, as demand for our new VOS platform accelerated," said Patrick Harshman, President and CEO of Harmonic. "Cable edge segment revenue softened off of a record Q1 as cable industry demand slowed. Consequently, our near-term outlook on cable industry spending is cautious, although we remain confident in mid-to-longer-term cable demand trends and in our CCAP growth strategy. Looking ahead at our Video business, which addresses a wider array of customer verticals, we are encouraged by the competitive momentum of our new VOS offering and associated growth opportunities. We remain resolved to delivering earnings growth and enhanced shareholder value."

Business Outlook

For the third quarter of 2015, Harmonic anticipates:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In establishing operating budgets, managing its business performance, and setting internal measurement targets, we exclude a number of items required by GAAP. Management believes that these accounting charges and credits, most of which are non-cash or non-recurring in nature, are not useful in managing its operations and business. Historically, the Company has also publicly presented these supplemental non-GAAP measures in order to assist the investment community to see the Company "through the eyes of management," and thereby enhance understanding of its operating performance. The non-GAAP measures presented here are: gross profit, operating expenses, income (loss) from operations and net income (loss) (including those amounts as a percentage of revenue), and net income (loss) per diluted share. The presentation of non-GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP results published by other companies. A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable historical GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements provided with this press release. The non-GAAP adjustments described below have historically been excluded from our GAAP financial measures. These adjustments are restructuring and related charges, impairment of long-term investment and non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, and adjustments that normalize the tax rate. With respect to our expectations under "Business Outlook" above, reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility with respect to the charges which are excluded from these non-GAAP measures. The effects of stock-based compensation expense specific to common stock options are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price. We expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant impact on our GAAP financial results.
