POLYCOM REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Sequential Revenue Growth of 7% to $99.4 Million
Pro Forma Earnings of 8 Cents Per Share
PLEASANTON, Calif. – July 17, 2003 – Polycom®, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLCM), the world’s leader in video and voice conferencing, conference bridges, and integrated web collaboration solutions, today reported its operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003.
Second quarter consolidated net revenues were $99.4 million, compared to $122.2 million recorded for the second quarter of 2002. Pro forma net income in the second quarter was $8.1 million, or 8 cents per diluted share. This compares to pro forma net income of $15.6 million, or 15 cents per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2002. Pro forma financial measures exclude acquisition-related costs, purchased in-process research and development, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructure costs, litigation settlement, gain (loss) on strategic investments, income tax effect of the preceding adjustments, loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, and loss from sale of discontinued operations, net of taxes. GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2003 was $1.6 million, or 2 cents per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $5.6 million, or 6 cents per diluted share, for the same period last year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net revenues were $192.4 million, compared to $254.5 million for the first six months of 2002. Pro forma net income for the period was $9.8 million, or 10 cents per diluted share, compared to $38.4 million, or 38 cents per diluted share for the first six months of 2002. The GAAP net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $0.8 million, or a 1 cent net loss per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $20.1 million, or 20 cents per diluted share, for the same period last year.
Prior year revenue and pro forma net income figures include certain reclassifications primarily to reflect the effect of discontinued operations associated with the sale of the network access product line which occurred in January of this year. Network access revenue and related expenses, net of taxes, are shown as discontinued operations in the financial statements.
The reconciliation of the GAAP statement of operations amounts to the respective pro forma figures, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 is set forth at the end of this press release.
On a product line basis, consolidated net revenues for the second quarter of 2003 were comprised of 58 percent video communications, or $57.6 million; 18 percent network systems, or $17.3 million; 19 percent voice communications, or $19.2 million; and 5 percent iPowerÔ-related services or $5.3 million. This compares to the second quarter of 2002, in which consolidated net
revenues were comprised of 59 percent video communications, or $72.6 million; 19 percent network systems, or $22.8 million; 17 percent voice communications, or $20.4 million; and 5 percent iPower-related services, or $6.4 million.
“We are pleased with the broad-based sequential improvement in end-user demand for Polycom’s unique end-to-end collaboration solutions,” stated Robert Hagerty, president and CEO. “IP connectivity continues to increase in enterprise, and key demand drivers such as ROI-driven commercial applications and public sector uses such as court systems, distance learning, medical, and homeland security, make these video, voice, and web collaboration solutions mission-critical in organizations around the world.”
Hagerty continued, "In addition to the recent sequential improvements in customer demand, Polycom is beginning to realize the benefits of our new, high-touch sales model. With this sales model, Polycom is building complete sales and service relationships with both our private and public sector customers worldwide. We are working in tandem with our channel to deliver the Polycom Office solution to our end user customers rapidly and cost effectively—improving their productivity and agility, delivering tangible improvements to their bottom line."
“With the sequential revenue and gross margin improvements in the second quarter, Polycom’s pro forma operating margin grew sequentially to 9.5%,” said Michael Kourey, senior vice president, finance and administration, and CFO. “This significant sequential profitability growth, coupled with an improvement in DSO to 45 days, drove our operating cash flow to $22 million for the quarter. With this twenty-first consecutive quarter of positive operating cash flow, Polycom now has a record $530 million in cash and investments and no debt.”

Use of Pro Forma Financial Information
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Polycom uses pro forma measures of operating results, net income and income per share, which are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses we believe appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our current period GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of Polycom’s underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace performance. For example, the pro forma results are an indication of our baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. In addition, these adjusted pro forma results are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or diluted net income per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
