Naperville, Ill. — Tellabs today reported second-quarter 2005 revenue of $463 million, up 52% from $304 million in the second quarter of 2004.

Tellabs earned $41 million or 9 cents per share in the second quarter of 2005 on a GAAP basis. On a non-GAAP basis, Tellabs had net income of $58 million or 13 cents per share, up from $26 million or 6 cents a share in the first quarter of 2005.

“Strong customer demand across multiple product lines fueled Tellabs’ best revenue quarter since 2001,” said Krish A. Prabhu, Tellabs president and chief executive officer. “Our solid progress with the AFC and Vinci integrations is reflected in our improved margins and lower operating expenses.”

Transport— Revenue from transport systems totaled $159 million, down 4% from $165 million in the second quarter of 2004 and in line with $158 million in the first quarter of 2005.

Results of Operations

For the second quarter of 2005, our revenue grew by 52% to $462.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2004. The increase in revenue includes $143.5 million in access revenue from AFC, a company we acquired in November 2004. Year-to-date revenue increased 58% to $898.1 million with access products contributing $271.3 to product revenue for the period. Driven by continued strong demand for our transport products and our managed access and broadband data products, revenue excluding the access product family was up 5% compared to the second quarter of 2004 and up 10% on a six-month basis compared to the first six months of 2004. We earned $41.1 million or $0.09 per share in the second quarter of 2005, compared with $49.6 million or $.12 per share in the second quarter of 2004. Net earnings for the six-month period was $41.8 million or $0.09 per share, compared with $63.0 million or $.15 per share in the first six months of 2004. The decline in earnings is primarily attributable to a 13 percentage point decline for the quarter and a 14 percentage point decline year-to-date in our overall gross margins as a result of the inclusion of the access products which typically carry lower gross margins than our other products.

Revenue

	Second Quarter				Year-to-Date
	2005	2004	Change	2005	2004	Change
Transport	$158.8	$164.7	(4)%	$316.8	$300.8	5%
Access	143.5	-	N/M	271.3	-	N/M
Managed Access	96.4	76.4	26%	189.5	145.8	30%
Voice Quality Enhancement	10.8	20.6	(48)%	25.8	43.3	(40)%
Broadband Data	8.6	1.8	N/M	15.2	5.7	N/M
Services	44.4	40.8	9%	79.5	72.5	10%
Total	$462.5	$304.3	52%	$898.1	$568.1	58%
North America	$342.0	$211.9	61%	$666.0	$384.8	73%
International	$120.5	$92.4	30%	$232.1	$183.3	27%

Transport product revenue remained strong during the second quarter of 2005 although slightly down from the second quarter of 2004, while revenues for the year-to-date period of 2005 increased 5% over those in the same period of 2004. Wireless customers continued to be the prominent driver for transport product revenue for both the second quarter and year-to-date periods in 2005. For the second quarter of 2005, North American wireless customers accounted for approximately 56% of all transport product revenue compared with 60% in the second quarter of last year. Within the transport products category approximately 34% of 2005 second quarter revenue for our wideband cross connect platform came from new systems, system expansions and software upgrades, with the balance consisting of port card growth on our installed base. This result compares with 26% in the second quarter of 2004. Another measure of our wideband cross-connect demand is T-1 equivalents. We shipped approximately 1.9 million T-1 equivalents during the second quarter of 2005 compared to 1.8 million T-1 equivalents in the second quarter of 2004.

Revenue from our access products reached $143.5 million and $271.3 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, in 2005. Both amounts are above last year’s second quarter and year-to-date periods for AFC, and are more quarterly and first-half revenue than AFC ever reported. We estimate that half of the second quarter of 2005 access product revenue is related to fiber-to-the-premise and fiber-to-the-curb deployments, with the balance coming from copper-based access solutions.

Revenue from managed access products increased 26% and 30% for the second quarter and first half of 2005, respectively, compared to that of the comparable periods in 2004. The increase was due to strength in both our Tellabs 6300 managed transport systems and 8100 managed access systems.

Overall revenue from voice quality enhancement products declined 48% for the second quarter and 40% for the year-to-date period compared to the comparable periods of 2004. The decline reflects a strong first half of 2004 in which one large international order dominated our revenue in this category.

Broadband data revenue increased to $8.6 million during the second quarter compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2004 and increased to $15.2 million on a year-to-date basis from $5.7 million in the comparable period in 2004. We have now shipped our Tellabs 8800 multi-service router product to fifteen revenue-generating customers, eleven of which are currently using the product to deliver live traffic as compared to two live networks at this time in 2004.

Our revenue from services increased $3.6 million and $7.0 million for the second quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, from the comparative year-ago periods primarily due to higher product revenue.

Gross Margin

	Second Quarter			Year-to-Date
	2005	2004	Change	2005	2004	Change
Consolidated Margin	45%	57%	(12)%	43%	57%	(14)%
Product Margin	46%	60%	(14)%	45%	61%	(16)%
Services Margin	33%	39%	(6)%	28%	32%	(4)%

Our overall margins declined during the second quarter and first-half of 2005 compared to the same periods in 2004 primarily due to the addition of AFC’s lower margin access product line and a change in mix toward lower margin products.

The decline in product margins was due primarily to the same reasons noted above for the overall margin decline. Services margins were down as a result of the inclusion of access services.

Operating Expenses

	Second Quarter			Year-to-Date
	2005	2004	Change	2005	2004	Change
Total Operating Expenses	$161.1	$120.2	$40.9	$342.6	$259.9	$82.7
Items included in the total:
Restructuring and other charges	1.2	(2.0)	3.2	14.4	14.2	0.2
Amortization of purchased intangibles	9.2	3.9	5.3	20.2	7.8	12.4
Amortization of deferred stock compensation	2.7	0.8	1.9	5.5	2.9	2.6
All other	$148.0	$117.5	$30.5	$302.5	$235.0	$67.5

Our operating expenses increased as compared to the same period in 2004 primarily due to the addition of AFC’s expenses, slightly offset by lower headcount and facility-related costs due to prior restructuring activities.

Restructuring and other charges for the second quarter and first half of 2005 were primarily due to a reorganization of our Denmark- and Finland-based businesses, the outsourcing of our North American Repair and Return and Prototype Lab to our current manufacturing vendors and the impact of the integration of AFC.

The increase in the amortization of purchased intangibles and deferred stock compensation is primarily due to the acquisitions of AFC and Vinci Systems, both in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Other Income/(Expense)

	Second Quarter			Year-to-Date
	2005	2004	Change	2005	2004	Change
Interest income, net	$6.4	$6.3	$0.1	$12.1	$12.2	$(0.1)
Other expense, net	(1.7)	(1.0)	(0.7)	(4.4)	(2.0)	(2.4)
Total	$4.7	$5.3	$(0.6)	$7.7	$10.2	$(2.5)

Other expense, net increased during the second quarter and first six months of 2005 compared to that of the same periods in 2004 primarily due to charges of approximately $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2005 for other-than-temporary impairments related to long-term investments. These charges were partially offset by more favorable foreign currency transaction gains in 2005 compared to that in the comparable periods of 2004.

Income Taxes

For the second quarter and first six months of 2005, we recorded a tax expense of $9.7 million and $12.4 million, respectively, compared to a tax expense of $10.3 million and $12.6 million in the second quarter and first six months, respectively, of 2004.   Overall, our tax rate continues to be affected by changes in the mix of income from domestic and foreign sources and the impact of the reversal of a valuation allowance on domestic tax expense.

Financial Condition, Liquidity & Capital Resources

Our principal source of liquidity remained our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, which increased by approximately $51.6 million during the quarter, and decreased $68.9 million since year end to $1,047.3 million. The use of cash reflects the impact of our previously announced stock repurchase program. During the second quarter of 2005, we repurchased $13.9 million (approximately 1.7 million shares) of our common stock, under a plan authorized by the board of directors in February of 2005 that enables us to repurchase up to $300 million worth of shares of our common stock. As of July 1, 2005, we have repurchased $132.6 million or 18.2 million shares under this plan.

We believe that the current level of working capital, particularly cash and marketable securities, is sufficient to meet our normal operating requirements for the foreseeable future. Further, we believe that sufficient resources exist to support our future growth and strategic needs. Future sources of working capital may be from cash-on-hand, cash generated from future operations, short-term or long-term financing, equity offerings or any combination of these sources.

Our current policy is to retain our earnings to provide funds to enhance stockholder value by expanding our business, repurchasing our common stock when we believe it to be undervalued and for operating activities. We do not anticipate paying a cash dividend in the foreseeable future.

(1)  In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Tellabs, Inc. provides non-GAAP results of operations as additional information for its operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be different from measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP results of operations eliminate certain items of expenses and losses from cost of goods sold, operating expenses and other income and expenses. The Company's management believes that this presentation allows investors to evaluate the current operational and financial performance of the Company's core business as an indicator of future operational and financial performance. The Company's management uses these measures for reviewing its financial results and for business planning and performance. Tellabs, Inc.'s management discloses this information externally along with a complete reconciliation of their comparable GAAP amounts, to provide access to the detail and general nature of adjustments made to GAAP financial results. Furthermore, while some of these items have been periodically reported in Tellabs, Inc.'s results of operations, including significant restructuring and other charges, their occurrence in future periods is dependent upon future business and economic factors, among other evaluation criteria, and may frequently be beyond the control of management.
