Calix Reports Preliminary Second Quarter 2012 Estimates
PETALUMA, CA, July 11, 2012 — Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) today announced that preliminary estimates for revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share would be below previous guidance for the second quarter of 2012.
Preliminary estimates for the second quarter are for revenue to be approximately $79 million, flat with the first quarter of 2012, and non-GAAP earnings per share to be 4 cents per share, up from 1 cent per share in the first quarter of 2012. On May 1, 2012, the company provided guidance for the second quarter ending June 30, 2012 for revenue to range between $93 to $97 million and non-GAAP earnings per share to be between 7 to 11 cents per share. The revised estimates for the second quarter reflect softness in demand across multiple customer markets which the company believes is due to a slowdown in capital expenditures by service providers increasingly concerned about macro-economic conditions and uncertainties associated with the implementation of regulatory reforms.
“While we are clearly disappointed in these estimated results, we are encouraged by the progress we are making in building our international business which saw a sequential increase in shipments and by a relatively strong month in June for bookings for domestic customers,” said Carl Russo, president and CEO of Calix.
Calix will provide further commentary on these issues and their potential impact on the company’s third quarter results during its second quarter financial results conference call which is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time (4:30 p.m. Eastern Time) on July 31, 2012. Interested parties can listen to a live webcast of the conference call by visiting the Calix Investor Relations website athttp://investor-relations.calix.com. A replay of the webcast will also be available on the same website following the completion of the call.
