Oakland, CA - August 9, 2017 – DASAN Zhone Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: DZSI), a global leader in fiber access transformation for enterprise and service provider networks, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Revenue for the second quarter of 2017 was $60.1 million, compared to $53.1 million for the first quarter of 2017 and $34.8 million for the second quarter of 2016. "With the successful integration of our businesses, we are seeing improved financial performance led by stronger than expected revenue growth," stated Jim Norrod, Co-CEO of DASAN Zhone Solutions.

Net loss attributable to DASAN Zhone Solutions, Inc. for the second quarter of 2017, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), was $0.9 million or $0.05 per share compared with net loss attributable to DASAN Zhone Solutions, Inc. of $3.5 million or $0.21 per share for the first quarter of 2017 and net loss attributable to DASAN Zhone Solutions, Inc. of $0.5 million or $0.05 per share for the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted earnings before stock-based compensation, interest income (expense), net, income tax provision (benefit), and depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) was an adjusted EBITDA income of $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2017 and an adjusted EBITDA income of $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2016. "The merger has also created significant value for our customers and investors," said Yung Kim, Co-CEO of DASAN Zhone Solutions. "Our financial results are already reflecting that value and we expect that the momentum will continue to accelerate through the remainder of the year."

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2017 were $9.9 million compared to $17.9 million at December 31, 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement DASAN Zhone's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, DASAN Zhone uses adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure DASAN Zhone believes is appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of DASAN 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).
