Strong Technology Leadership and Business Momentum Moving into 2008
SUNNYVALE, Calif.— January 29, 2008—Harmonic Inc. (NASDAQ: HLIT), a leading provider of broadcast and on-demand video delivery solutions, today announced its preliminary and unaudited results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2007.
For the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company reported net sales of $88.4 million, up 17% from $75.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. For the full year 2007, net sales were $312.2 million, up 26% from $247.7 million in 2006. The Company saw revenue growth in both domestic and international markets, with international sales representing 43% and 44% of revenue for the fourth quarter and for the full year of 2007, respectively. The strong revenue growth reflects sales to an expanding range of cable, satellite, telco and other customers that are deploying a growing array of new video products and solutions.
Gross margins increased sequentially from the third quarter of 2007, principally as a result of a larger than expected proportion of revenue from higher margin video processing solutions and software and services.
GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $13.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, up from $5.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the same period of 2006. For the full year 2007, GAAP net income was $30.1 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, up from $1.0 million, or $0.01 per diluted share in 2006.
Excluding non-cash accounting charges for stock-based compensation expense, the amortization of intangibles, and excess facilities costs, the non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $17.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, up from $9.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the same period of 2006. For the full year 2007, non-GAAP net income was $43.3 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared to $13.9 million, or $0.18 per share, for 2006. See “GAAP to non-GAAP Income Reconciliation” below for further information on the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures. The results provided in this press release are subject to final audit and any adjustments required prior to filing of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
As of December 31, 2007, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $269.3 million, up from $99.0 million as of September 28, 2007. During the fourth quarter of 2007, Harmonic completed a public offering of 12.5 million shares of its common stock, which generated net proceeds to the Company of approximately $142 million.
“2007 was an outstanding year for Harmonic,” said Patrick Harshman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are very pleased with our success in extending our product portfolio and expanding our global customer base. Our powerful new video encoding, video processing, video-on-demand and edge and access solutions have strengthened our technology leadership and driven our strong sales growth, improved gross margins and increased profitability. We have also improved the efficiency of our operations and our inventory management and strengthened our balance sheet. Our successful public offering during the fourth quarter provides us with a strong financial foundation to further grow the business, as well as to continue to pursue selective acquisitions to enhance our technology and market reach.”
“We enter 2008 with a very strong competitive position in cable, satellite and telco markets worldwide, and a growing position in new broadcast and Internet video delivery markets. The powerful trends toward more high-definition, on-demand and anytime, anywhere video continue to intensify and reshape the video delivery marketplace. Going forward, we expect to continue to extend the breadth and depth of our product solutions to address these major trends, and intend to continue working with our expanding global customer base to take their video services in exciting new directions. We are very encouraged about our opportunities for growth in 2008 and beyond.”
Business Outlook
The Company anticipates that the combined net sales for the first half of 2008 will be in a range of $165 to $175 million and gross margins will be 43% to 44% on a GAAP basis. Non-GAAP gross margins for the same period, excluding stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of intangibles, are anticipated to be in a range of 47% to 48%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In establishing operating budgets, managing its business performance, and setting internal measurement targets, the Company excludes a number of items required by GAAP. Management believes that these accounting charges and credits, most of which are non-cash or non-recurring in nature, are not useful in managing its operations and business. Historically, the Company has also publicly presented these supplemental non-GAAP measures in order to assist the investment community to see the Company “through the eyes of management,” and thereby enhance understanding of its operating performance. The non-GAAP measures presented here are gross margins, operating expense, net income and net income per share. The presentation of non-GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP results published by other companies. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements contained in this press release. The non-GAAP adjustments described below have historically been excluded from our non-GAAP measures. These adjustments, and the basis for excluding them, are:
• | Restructuring Activities |
– | Severance Costs | ||
The Company has incurred severance costs in cost of sales and in operating expenses in connection with the closing of its manufacturing and research and development facilities in the UK. In addition, severance costs were incurred due to a reorganization of its senior management following the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer. The Company excludes one-time costs of this nature in evaluating its ongoing operational performance. We believe that these costs do not reflect expected future expenses nor do they provide a meaningful comparison of current versus prior operating results. | |||
- | Excess Facilities | ||
The Company has incurred excess facilities charges and credits in operating expenses due to adjustments related to vacating and subleasing portions of its Sunnyvale campus and to the closing of its manufacturing and research and development facilities in the UK. The Company excludes one-time costs of this nature in evaluating its ongoing operational performance. We believe that these costs do not reflect expected future expenses nor do they provide a meaningful comparison of current versus prior operating results. | |||
- | Product Discontinuance | ||
In connection with the restructuring of its operations in the UK, the Company recorded charges for excess inventory in connection with discontinued products. The Company excludes one-time costs of this nature in evaluating its ongoing operational performance. We believe that these costs do not reflect expected future expenses nor do they provide a meaningful comparison of current versus prior operating results. |
• | Non-Cash Items |
– | Stock-Based Compensation Expense | ||
The Company has incurred stock-based compensation expense in cost of sales and operating expenses as required under FAS 123R. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expense because it believes that this measure is not relevant in evaluating its core operating performance, either for internal measurement purposes or for period-to-period comparisons and benchmarking against other public companies. | |||
– | Impairment and Amortization of Intangibles | ||
The Company has incurred amortization of intangibles and has taken a charge for acquired in-process technology related to acquisitions the Company has made. In addition, the Company recorded an impairment of its fixed assets and intangibles due to its decision to discontinue a product line. Management excludes these items when it evaluates its core operating performance. We believe that eliminating these expenses is useful to investors when comparing historical and prospective results and comparing such results to other public companies because these expenses will vary if and when the Company makes additional acquisitions. |
