Zhone Technologies Sets Earnings Announcement Date for Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results and Announces Preliminary Estimates of Third Quarter Results
Oakland, CA - October 2, 2014 - Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZHNE), a global leader in fiber access transformation for service provider and enterprise networks, today announced preliminary estimates of its financial results for the third quarter of 2014. Based on preliminary information, net revenue for the third quarter of 2014 is expected to be between $29 million and $30 million. Despite the anticipated lower net revenue level, gross margins are expected to be near the upper end of the previously provided guidance of between 35% and 37%. Operating expenses are expected to be approximately $2 million higher than the previously provided guidance of approximately $11.5 million, primarily as a result of the CEO transition and related business restructuring.
These results are preliminary and therefore subject to the company’s completion of its customary quarterly closing and review procedures. Zhone is scheduled to release its final third quarter results on Wednesday, October 15, 2014, after the close of regular market trading.
