Symmetricom Reports Second Quarter

Fiscal 2011 Financial Results

 

 

Net revenue of $41.8 million

 

 

Non-GAAP income from continuing operations of $1.4 million, or $0.03 per share

 

 

Loss from continuing operations of $3.5 million, or $(0.08) per share

 

 

Free cash flow of $6.7 million

SAN JOSE, Calif. — February 2, 2011 — Symmetricom, Inc. (NASDAQ:SYMM), a worldwide leader in precision time and frequency technologies, today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2011, ended December 26, 2010.

Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $41.8 million, down $15.1 million or 26.5%, compared to the $56.9 million reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Symmetricom reported a loss from continuing operations of $3.5 million, or $(0.08) per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to income from continuing operations of $1.9 million, or $0.04 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 included $3.9 million of restructuring charges, as compared to $1.5 million of restructuring charges for the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

The decrease in revenue is due to product supply and fulfillment delays associated with the company’s transition to an outsourced manufacturing and logistics model. Symmetricom ceased manufacturing operations in Puerto Rico in December 2010 and expects to complete the transition to an outsourced manufacturing and logistics model in the third quarter, as previously disclosed.

The company’s order volume was at expected levels for the quarter. Total sales backlog was $64.2 million as of December 26, 2010, compared to $54.4 million as of September 26, 2010.

Non-GAAP income from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $1.4 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to $4.3 million, or $0.10 per share, reported in the same period of the prior year.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $78.5 million as of December 26, 2010, an increase of $5.7 million from the $72.8 million reported as of September 26, 2010. Net cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter was $8.0 million and property, plant and equipment purchases were approximately $1.3 million, resulting in free cash flow of $6.7 million.

“The financial results of our second quarter were disappointing due to fulfillment delays that resulted from issues we encountered during our manufacturing transition,” said Dave Côté, President and Chief Executive Officer of Symmetricom. “These difficulties are not related to the inherent manufacturability or quality of our products, but are logistical and process issues related to component supply and material flows, which we are working hard to solve as rapidly as possible.”

“Despite these challenges, I am encouraged by the ongoing level of demand for our products and feel good about the progress we are making on new product and new market initiatives. Once these manufacturing transition issues are behind us, I am confident that our overall performance will once again reflect the company’s strong market position and many new market and growth opportunities,” said Côté.

Business Results

Revenue in the Communications Business in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $20.4 million, compared to $35.8 million reported in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Revenue in the Government Business in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $21.5 million, compared to $21.1 million reported in the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Third Quarter 2011 Guidance

Symmetricom’s guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 is as follows:

 

 

Net revenue is expected to be in the range of $45 million to $55 million

 

 

GAAP earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations is expected to be in the range of $(0.09) to $0.01

 

 

Non-GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations is expected to be in the range of $0.00 to $0.08

A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP guidance is provided at the end of this press release.

Non-GAAP Information

Certain non-GAAP financial information is included in this press release. In the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results, Symmetricom excludes certain items related to non-cash equity-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, manufacturing transition costs and non-cash interest expense charges that the company does not consider indicative of its ongoing performance. The income tax effect after these non-GAAP adjustments was determined based upon Symmetricom’s estimate of its annual non-GAAP effective tax rate excluding these non-GAAP adjustments. Symmetricom believes that excluding such items provides investors, analysts and management with a representation of the Company’s core operating performance and with information useful in assessing, in conjunction with GAAP results, underlying trends in operating performance. Management uses such non-GAAP information to evaluate financial results and to establish operational goals. Non-GAAP information should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for data prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to the GAAP results is provided in the financial schedules portion of this press release.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus purchases of property, plant and equipment. Symmetricom believes this metric provides useful information to its investors, analysts, and management about the level of cash generated by normal business operations, including the use of cash for the purchase of property, plant and equipment. Management also views it as a measure of cash available to pay debt and return cash to stockholders. Free cash flow is not a GAAP financial measure and should not be considered superior to or a substitute for operating cash flow or other cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Safe Harbor

This press release contains forward-looking information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. These forward-looking statements include statements concerning third quarter fiscal 2011 guidance and future performance, as well as the information regarding the usefulness of the non-GAAP financial information. The statements in this press release are made as of the date of this press release, even if subsequently made available by Symmetricom on its website or otherwise. Symmetricom’s actual results could differ materially from those projected or suggested in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause future actual results to differ materially from the results projected in or suggested by such forward-looking statements include: reduced rates of demand for telecommunication products, cable products or test and measurement products, reduced rates or changes in government spending patterns, customers’ ability and need to upgrade existing equipment, the company’s ability to fulfill delayed shipments, delays in its transition to an outsourced manufacturing and logistics model, the company’s ability to maintain or reduce manufacturing and operating costs, timing of orders, cancellation or delay of customer orders, loss of customers, customer acceptance of new products, recessionary pressures, geopolitical risks such as terrorist acts and the risk factors listed from time to time in Symmetricom’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2010 and subsequent Form 10-Q’s and 8-K’s.
