HARMONIC ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END RESULTS
CONTINUED REVENUE GROWTH; POSITIVE EARNINGS FOR THE QUARTER
SUNNYVALE, CALIF. - JANUARY 22, 2004 - Harmonic Inc. (Nasdaq: HLIT) today
announced its results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2003.
For the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company reported net sales of $56.3 million,
up from $47.3 million in the previous quarter and from $39.3 million in the
fourth quarter of 2002. For the full year 2003, the Company had net sales of
$182.3 million, compared to $186.6 million for 2002.
The sequential revenue growth for the fourth quarter reflected increased
shipments to a number of domestic and international cable customers. Domestic
sales represented 70% of total sales for the fourth quarter of 2003, compared to
71% in the previous quarter.
The Company's CS division, which designs, manufactures and markets digital
headend systems for a number of markets, had divisional net sales of $33.2
million, up from $29.0 million in the previous quarter. The BAN division, which
designs, manufactures and markets fiber optic products primarily for broadband
cable networks, had divisional net sales of $23.1 million, up from $18.3 million
in the previous quarter.
"We are pleased with our continued revenue growth and achieving profitability in
the fourth quarter," said Anthony J. Ley, Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer. "We see intensifying competition between cable and satellite
operators to offer more channels of digital video and new services, such as
video-on-demand and high-definition television."
"In the fourth quarter, we continued to focus on expense control and on
improving our operating efficiencies. Our gross margins improved significantly
from a year ago, reflecting the success of our new products and increased
volume. We are also very pleased with the completion of our public offering
during the quarter, which strengthened our balance sheet and helps to position
us for future growth. While we expect the usual seasonal slowdown in the first
quarter, we are excited about our prospects in 2004 and beyond."
GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $1.4 million, or $0.02 per
share, compared to a net loss of $13.8 million, or $0.23 per share, for the same
period of 2002. For the full year 2003, the GAAP net loss was $29.4 million, or
$0.47 per share. The GAAP net income for the fourth quarter includes a benefit
of $2.2 million from the reversal of bad debt reserves following the sale of the
Company's pre-petition trade claims against Adelphia Communications. The Company
also recorded a benefit of $1.4 million relating to the sale of previously
reserved inventory.
On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the benefits described above and the effects of
non-cash accounting charges for the amortization of intangibles, the non-GAAP
net income for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $1.2 million, or $0.02 per share.
This compares to a non-GAAP net loss of $11.5 million, or $0.19 per share, for
the same period of 2002. For the full year 2003, the non-GAAP net loss was $18.8
million, or $0.30 per share.
At the end of 2003, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments of $112.6 million, compared to $49.2 million at the end of 2002.
During the fourth quarter, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $71
million in a public offering and also generated cash from operations of
approximately $8 million.
