Exhibit 99.1
Vyyo Reports Financial Results for the Quarter
Ended December 31, 2007
~Initiates Plan to Consolidate International Operations into Atlanta Area,
Strengthening Customer Support and Operational Efficiencies~
NORCROSS, Ga, February 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Vyyo Inc. (Nasdaq: VYYO), a supplier of broadband access equipment for cable system operators, today reported financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2007.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, Vyyo reported sales of $2.3 million, compared to $2.6 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and $1.7 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2006. Loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 was $8.5 million, or $0.46 per share, compared to a loss of $8.7 million, or $0.47 per share, in the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and a loss of $6.5 million, or $0.36 per share, in the quarter ended December 31, 2006.
Vyyo’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $12.7 million at December 31, 2007, down from $19.2 million at September 31, 2007.
Vyyo announced that it has begun to consolidate its Israeli research and development, engineering, logistics and customer support functions into its Norcross, GA offices. The company plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 100 management and staff positions and transfer its production from Israel by expanding its use of contract manufacturers in Asia. The plan is a continuation of Vyyo’s efforts to respond to the need of its customers while increasing operational efficiencies. The company anticipates the plan will result in cost savings of $20 million annually.
The company also announced that it has signed a two-year Master Purchase Agreement with a Top Five cable operator for its UltraBand™ products.
“The actions we have begun to implement will strengthen our customer focus, improve operational efficiencies and enable Vyyo to sustain its business through cable’s lengthy technology adoption cycle,” said Wayne H. Davis, CEO of Vyyo. “We are grateful to our Israel-based employees for their many contributions over the years, but feel that this difficult action is essential to achieving our goal of Vyyo’s UltraBand as a key component of Cable’s next generation network architecture.”
Additionally, Vyyo received notification from the NASDAQ Listings Qualifications Department that the company does not comply with the minimum $50 million market value of listed securities required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market set forth in Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(1)(A). As of January 28, 2008, NASDAQ’s calculation of the market value of Vyyo’s listed securities was $44,920,520 based on 18,639,220 shares outstanding and a closing bid price of $2.41. There is no change in the trading of Vyyo common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market at this time.
The company will have 30 calendar days, or until February 28, 2008, to regain compliance with The Nasdaq Global Market continuing listing requirements through achieving a $50 million market value of
listed securities for 10 consecutive business days. If Vyyo does not regain compliance by February 28, 2008, then it has the right to appeal any decision by NASDAQ to delist the company’s shares from The Nasdaq Global Market. During any appeal process, shares would continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market.
The company may also apply to transfer its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market. If it does so before February 28, 2008, the initiation of any delisting proceedings will be stayed pending review of the application. Currently, the company believes that it meets the criteria for transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market.
