Exhibit 99.1
Vyyo Reports First Quarter Financial Results
~ Delivers Revenue Growth ~
Atlanta, GA, April 17 — Vyyo Inc. (Nasdaq: VYYO), a global supplier of broadband access equipment for cable and private wireless broadband network solutions, today reported financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2006.
For the first quarter of 2006, Vyyo reported sales of $2.4 million, compared to $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 and $0.7 million in the same quarter of the previous year. Loss for the first quarter of 2006 was $8.0 million, or $0.50 per share, compared to a loss of $14.8 million, or $0.96 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2005 and a loss of $6.7 million, or $0.44 per share, in the same quarter of the previous year. The loss for the first quarter of 2006 included a charge of $2.0 million for stock-based compensation partially resulting from the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R as of January 1, 2006. The loss for the fourth quarter of 2005 included a charge of $11.8 million for impairment and amortization of intangible assets related to Vyyo’s subsidiary, Xtend Networks Ltd. (“Xtend”), a gain of $2.5 million resulting from amendment of a promissory note related to the acquisition of Xtend and a gain of $0.1 million resulting from stock-based compensation. The loss in the first quarter of 2005 included a gain of $0.3 million resulting from stock-based compensation.
Vyyo ended the first quarter of 2006 with $30.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, up from $10.0 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2005. The increase in cash resulted from Vyyo’s $25.0 million financing completed in the first quarter of 2006.
“Within the quarter, we recognized our first significant revenue in our cable segment from a top five cable operator and we accomplished a major breakthrough in our wireless business, a long-term purchase agreement that included an initial $10.0 million purchase order,” stated Davidi Gilo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vyyo. “Our strategy and products are taking hold in the marketplace and we are gaining traction. We have three market changing solutions that are well positioned to capitalize on increased demand in the cable and utility industries.”
During the first quarter and more recently, Vyyo announced a number of noteworthy events. Specifically, Vyyo closed a $25.0 million equity and long-term debt financing from Goldman, Sachs & Co. Also, Vyyo reached a long-term agreement with Arcadian Networks, Inc. to deploy advanced wireless solutions to companies with dispersed assets. This agreement includes a $10.0 million initial purchase order and requires Arcadian Networks to make two $4.0 million payments in exchange for Vyyo agreeing not to sell certain of its product into certain markets. The first payment was received on April 3, 2006 and the second is due on or before March 31, 2007. Further, Vyyo was named a Platinum Vendor by the National Cable Television Cooperative (NCTC). NCTC represents more than 1,100 independent cable operators with 6,500 individual systems and more than 14.3 million subscribers nationwide. Additionally, Vyyo released a report which has been positively received by the cable industry, on how a ‘First-Strike’ cable strategy using Vyyo’s Spectrum Overlay solution would drive new revenues and hinder telco fiber plans.
