ADTRAN, INC. ANNOUNCES REVISED THIRD QUARTER
REVENUE AND EARNINGS ESTIMATE
HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA - ADTRAN, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADTN) announced revised revenue and earnings estimates for the third quarter ending September 30, 2012. Based upon information currently available, revenue for the quarter is expected to be approximately $162 million. GAAP earnings per share for the quarter, assuming dilution, are expected to range from $0.14 to $0.15. Non-GAAP earnings per share for the quarter are expected to range from $0.18 to $0.19.
ADTRAN Chief Executive Officer Tom Stanton stated, “Our performance this quarter continued to be affected by a challenging spending environment stemming largely from macro-economic and regulatory concerns. The largest impact continues to be in the U.S. carrier market where we saw continuing delays in project rollouts exacerbated by a decrease in legacy product sales. Although timing the resolution to these macro concerns remains challenging, recent bidding activity in Tier 1 and Tier 2 carrier accounts both domestically and abroad leave us very confident about our positioning as these markets rebound.”
Non-GAAP earnings per share exclude the effect of acquisition related expenses, amortizations and adjustments, and stock compensation expense.
