Oakland, CA — October 20, 2010 — Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZHNE), a global pioneer in FTTx network access solutions, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was $33.7 million compared to $33.3 million for the second quarter of 2010 and $36.0 million for the third quarter of 2009. Net income for the third quarter of 2010, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), was $1.7 million or $0.05 diluted per share compared with a net loss of $2.0 million or $0.07 per share for the second quarter of 2010 and a net loss of $1.2 million or $0.04 per share for the third quarter of 2009. Adjusted earnings before stock-based compensation, interest, taxes, depreciation and gain on sale of Oakland campus (“adjusted EBITDA”) was an adjusted EBITDA profit of $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2010, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2010 and an adjusted EBITDA profit of $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2009.
“We are pleased that we exceeded our profit guidance and generated cash from operations for the third quarter of 2010 based on continued revenue growth attributable to our new MXK OLT and zNID ONT,” stated Mory Ejabat, Zhone’s chief executive officer. “We continue to remain confident about generating positive adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2010.”
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at September 30, 2010 increased by $1.2 million to $21.5 million from $20.3 million at June 30, 2010. Cash net of debt obligations at September 30, 2010 improved by $19.7 million to $11.5 million compared to ($8.2 million) at June 30, 2010.
“The sale and leaseback of our Oakland campus allowed us to monetize the value of excess office space and reduce occupancy costs going forward,” stated Kirk Misaka, Zhone’s chief financial officer. “As a result of the transaction, our cash net of debt obligations improved by $19.7 million and our total cost of occupancy is expected to decrease by over $1.5 million per year.”

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 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 Operations.
