Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2014, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), was $2.1 million or $0.06 per share compared with net loss of $2.7 million or $0.08 per share for the third quarter of 2014 and net income of $1.4 million or $0.04 per share for the fourth quarter of 2013.

"We entered 2015 with a renewed level of confidence that we will grow revenue in both our service provider and enterprise businesses," stated Jim Norrod, Zhone's chief executive officer. "We are equally confident that our focused business structure and decisive business restructuring will lead to profitability which remains our primary financial objective."
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2014 was $11.5 million compared to $15.7 million at December 31, 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Zhone's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Zhone uses adjusted 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 income (loss) calculated on a GAAP basis and adjusted EBITDA on a non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
