ShoreTel Reports Financial Results for Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2011
Company Achieves Non-GAAP Profitability, Driven by 39 Percent Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth
SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 26, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ShoreTel® (Nasdaq:SHOR), the leading provider of brilliantly simple IP phone systems with fully integrated unified communications (UC), today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, which ended March 31, 2011.
For the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, revenue was $51.6 million, up 8 percent sequentially from the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 and a 39 percent increase from the third quarter of fiscal year 2010. GAAP net loss was $(2.4) million, or $(0.05) per share, compared with a GAAP net loss of $(4.5) million, or $(0.10) per share, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010. Excluding stock-based compensation expenses of $2.8 million, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $0.2 million and related tax adjustments, the non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $0.6 million, or $.01 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $(1.7) million, or $(0.04) per share, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010.
GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 was 68.0 percent, compared with 64.9 percent during the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP gross margin, which excludes stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and related tax adjustment, was 68.6 percent in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, up from 67.2 percent in the prior quarter and 65.6 percent during the same quarter last year.
As of March 31, 2011, the company had $102.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments with no debt.
"ShoreTel accelerated its strong growth during the third fiscal quarter, increasing revenue 39 percent year-over-year and achieving non-GAAP profitability one quarter earlier than expected," said Peter Blackmore, president and CEO of ShoreTel. "Results were driven by strength among our core customers and carrier partners and revenue from major accounts. Additionally, ShoreTel won a notable new partnership with Vodafone in Europe.
"To put our revenue growth into perspective, ShoreTel's quarterly revenue jumped from $40 million to $50 million in just three quarters, a fraction of the time it took the company to pass from $30 million to $40 million," Blackmore added.
Operational Highlights for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2011
ShoreTel and Polycom Expand Technology Partnership
In February 2011, the company announced an expansion of its technology partnership with Polycom to further a shared mission of delivering advanced business communications systems based on open standards. The offering will provide customers the flexibility of an open and interoperable ShoreTel and Polycom solution that unifies and simplifies communication across voice and video and telepresence solutions. As a result, ShoreTel's IP telephony and UC solutions will combine with Polycom's telepresence systems to deliver a seamlessly integrated system with proven reliability, quality, simplicity and lower total cost of ownership, by using technologies like H.264 High Profile, which reduces bandwidth requirements for high definition video by up to 50 percent.
ShoreTel Partner Program Awarded CRN 2011 Five-Star Designation
For the second year in a row, ShoreTel was awarded the five-star designation in CRN's Partner Programs Guide. This ratings guide serves as the definitive list of vendors who have robust partner programs or products that service solution providers offer directly to the IT channel. CRN also highlighted ShoreTel as one of its "2011 Need To Know: UC & VoIP Vendors" and recognized the ShoreTel Voice Switch 50 as "VoIP Product of the Year" for 2010.
Donald Joos Appointed Vice President of Global Services
Donald Joos was recently appointed vice president of global services. Reporting directly to ShoreTel's president and CEO, Peter Blackmore, Joos will play a critical role in the continued expansion of ShoreTel's world-class service to customers and partners around the world. Joos comes to ShoreTel from Avaya, where he spent nine years as a company vice president. In that role, he led the teams for channel transformation, integrations and global customer satisfaction, North American services, global implementation, and global customer care centers.
Business Outlook
The company is providing the following outlook for the quarter-ending June 30, 2011:
-
Revenue is expected to be in the range of $53.0 million to $56.0 million.
- GAAP gross margin is expected to be in the range of 66 to 67 percent, including approximately $0.4 million in stock-based compensation expenses and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be in the range of 67 to 68 percent.
- GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $38 million to $39 million, which includes approximately $2.5 million in stock-based compensation expenses and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $35.5 million to $36.5 million.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
ShoreTel reports all financial information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but it believes that evaluating its ongoing operating results may be difficult to understand if limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Many investors have requested that ShoreTel disclose this non-GAAP information because it is useful in understanding the company's performance, as it excludes non-cash and other special charges that many investors feel may obscure the company's true operating performance. Likewise, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to manage and assess the profitability of its business and does not consider stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and other special charges and related tax adjustments in managing its core operations. ShoreTel has provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures in the tables of this press release. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
