Interphase Announces Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results
Quarterly Revenues Increase to $8.4 Million; Quarterly EPS of $0.10
Quarterly Revenues Increase to $8.4 Million; Quarterly EPS of $0.10
PLANO, Texas — October 25, 2007— Interphase Corporation (NASDAQ: INPH), a leading international supplier of next-generation networking technologies, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Revenues for the third quarter of 2007 were $8.4 million, representing a 9% increase over revenues for the third quarter of 2006 of $7.8 million. On a sequential basis, third quarter 2007 revenues increased by $200,000 as compared to revenues of $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2007. Revenues in the quarter were primarily driven by the continued strength in broadband telecom revenues, which rose 14% to $7.2 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared to $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2006. As expected, enterprise product line revenues declined to $980,000 for the third quarter of 2007 compared to $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2006. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2007 was 61% compared to 52% for the third quarter of 2006, driven by improvements in product mix, and more efficient operations. Net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $698,000, or $0.10 per fully diluted share, up from $175,000, or $0.03 per fully diluted share, in the year ago third quarter.
“We are pleased with our results and the overall business momentum we are seeing, which reflect the confidence in Interphase and the strong relationships we have established with our Tier 1 telecommunications customers”, said Greg Kalush, CEO and President of Interphase. “During the quarter we have successfully achieved a number of milestones toward the delivery of our AdvancedTCA and AdvancedMC product portfolio. In fact, ouriSPAN 3676 AdvancedMC™ ATM OC-3/STM-1 Interface Card andiSPAN 3639 AdvancedMC™ Multiprotocol T1/E1/J1 Communications Controller products have now achieved general availability status for integration and deployment into next generation 3G Wireless, IP Multi-Media Subsystem and Voice Over IP infrastructure platforms. Beginning in the fourth quarter we will reach production level shipments of a new T1/E1 I/O product for a major telecommunications equipment manufacturer. Ramping production of this new product is the culmination of an intense and extremely compressed six month rapid design and manufacture cycle, proving Interphase can meet the most demanding requirements of even the world’s largest international telecommunications equipment
manufacturers. This is a significant product deliverable, since it achieves substantial cost reductions for our customer, and will not only result in an increase in next quarter’s revenues but also contribute significantly to our revenue growth in 2008. We also recently announced that we are developing a line of Packet Accelerator products to expand our solution portfolio. Packet Accelerators complement our existing solutions portfolio and further advance our strategy to play a major role in the transition of the telecommunications network to an “all IP” packet-based infrastructure. We have also continued to expand our future revenue potential with new design wins across our AdvancedMC, AdvancedTCA and PCI/PCI-express portfolio of broadband telecommunications products including early design win success for our recently announced packet accelerator portfolio. We remain very excited about our next generation product portfolio and as these product solutions ramp into production and the adoption of AdvancedTCA proliferates, we expect to achieve strong revenue growth.”
For the first nine months of 2007, revenues were $21.8 million compared to $25.3 million in the first nine months of 2006. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was 59% compared to 54% for the same period in 2006. Net loss for the first nine months of 2007 was $764,000 or $(0.13) per share, compared to a net profit of $1.6 million or $0.27 per share for the first nine months of 2006. The company’s balance sheet continues to be strong with a working capital position of $26.6 million, including a cash and marketable securities position of $19.9 million on September 30, 2007.
