AFOP REPORTS 2nd QUARTER 2005 RESULTS
Revenues up 59% year-over-year
Sunnyvale, CA – July 26, 2005 — Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Inc. (Nasdaq SmallCap: AFOP), an innovative supplier of fiber optic components, subsystems and integrated modules for the optical network equipment market, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2005 totaled $5,178,000, which represents a 3% increase over revenues of $5,006,000 reported in the previous quarter, and an increase of 59% over revenues of $3,252,000 reported in the second quarter of 2004. The Company recorded a net loss for the second quarter of 2005 of $720,000, or $0.02 per share based on 39.3 million shares outstanding. This compares to a net loss for the first quarter of 2005 of $812,000, or $0.02 per share based on 39.0 million shares outstanding, and a net loss for the second quarter of 2004 of $2,557,000, or $0.07 per share based on 38.7 million shares outstanding.
There were no deferred stock compensation charges for either the quarter ended June 30, 2005 or the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Included in the net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 are deferred stock compensation charges of $87,000.
Peter Chang, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The second quarter of 2005 marked our 5th consecutive quarter of revenue growth and improved financial results. Second quarter 2005 revenue of $5.2 million grew by 59% from the year ago quarter, and by 3% sequentially. While revenues increased almost 60% from a year ago, our cost of revenues increased at approximately half of that rate, leading to a greatly improved gross profit margin of 21.3% in Q2 2005, versus 2.1% in Q2 2004. Also contributing to our quarterly results was a further reduction in operating expenses. Total second quarter operating expenses fell by 22% from a year ago, resulting in a net loss of $0.02 per share, which is an improvement of 72% from a year ago.
“We are pleased with our performance this quarter as our results reflect an improved sales environment for our products and our careful control of expenses. As we see evidence of major telecommunication providers committing to large FTTX deployments, we are encouraged by our future prospects. We believe our order trends and customer activity point to modest revenue growth and continuing bottom line improvement in the quarters ahead,” concluded Mr. Chang.
