6 7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Harmonic Lightwaves, Inc. ("Harmonic" or the "Company") is a worldwide supplier of highly integrated fiber optic transmission, digital headend and element management systems for the delivery of interactive services over broadband networks. The Company designs, manufactures and markets optical transmitters, nodes, receivers, digital video compression and modulation equipment and element management hardware and software. These products are used by major communications providers, such as cable television operators, in bi-directional networks. In September 1997, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire N. M. New Media Communication Ltd. ("New Media"). In connection with the acquisition, Harmonic will issue 1,037,911 shares of its Common Stock to the shareholders of New Media, and will assume all of New Media's outstanding stock options. [See "Factors That May Affect Results of Operations - Risks Associated with New Media Acquisition."] The acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and Harmonic expects to recognize a substantial portion of the acquisition cost as a one-time charge for in-process technology in the quarter in which the transaction is completed. The transaction is currently expected to be completed in the last week of December 1997 or the first week of January 1998. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements include expectations as to future operating results, future expenditures, future cash requirements, future industry conditions and new product development. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under "Factors That May Affect Future Results Of Operations" below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Sales The Company's net sales increased 5% from $16.7 million in the third quarter of 1996 to $17.5 million in the third quarter of 1997. For the nine month periods, net sales increased 38% from $41.4 million in the first nine months of 1996 to $57.1 million in the first nine months of 1997. The growth in net sales in both periods was attributable to higher unit sales of the Company's receiver and return path products and sales of the 1550 nm MAXLink transmission system, which began shipment during the second quarter of 1996. These factors were partially offset by lower unit sales of the PWRLink and YAGLink transmitters. The lower sales of YAGLink transmitters was due in part to the increasing acceptance of 1550 nm transmitters among cable operators for broadcast transmission. In the third quarter of 1997, both domestic and international sales increased over the levels achieved in the third quarter of 1996, but were lower than sales in the second quarter of 1997. The lower domestic and international sales in the third quarter compared to the second quarter of 1997 were due principally to a slow-down in capital spending in the industry. These factors include consolidation and system exchanges by domestic cable customers, which generally has the effect of delaying certain system upgrades, uncertainty related to development of industry standards for digital transmission, evaluation by many cable customers as to which advanced services and system architectures to provide and use, and emphasis on marketing and customer service strategies by certain international customers to increase their subscriber base instead of continued construction of networks. International sales represented 54% of net sales in the third quarter of 1997 compared to 55% of net sales in the third quarter of 1996. Gross Profit Gross profit increased from $7.8 million (47% of net sales) in the third quarter of 1996 to $7.9 million (45% of net sales) in the third quarter of 1997 and from $18.8 million (45% of net sales) in the first nine months of 1996 to $26.6 million (47% of net sales) in the first nine months of 1997. The decrease in gross profit percentage during the third quarter of 1997 compared to the third quarter of 1996 was principally due to lower production 7 8 volumes, start-up costs for the new digital products and higher manufacturing period expenses. The increase in gross profit percentage during the first nine months of 1997 compared to the first nine months of 1996 was due primarily to lower manufacturing costs of the Company's MAXLink products, which commenced shipment during the second quarter of 1996, and improved margins on return path products resulting from product design changes. These factors were partially offset by lower selling prices of certain products. Research and Development Research and development expenses increased from $2.6 million in the third quarter of 1996 to $2.9 million in the third quarter of 1997 but remained constant as a percentage of sales at 16%, reflecting higher sales. For the nine month periods, research and development expenses increased from $6.5 million in 1996 (16% of net sales) to $8.5 million in 1997 (15% of net sales). The increases in research and development expenses in absolute dollars in both periods were principally attributable to increased headcount, particularly at the Company's Israeli subsidiary, which is developing Harmonic's digital headend products. The Company anticipates that research and development expenses will continue to increase substantially in absolute dollars, although such expenses may vary as a percentage of net sales. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses increased from $2.7 million (16% of net sales) in the third quarter of 1996 to $3.3 million (19% of net sales) in the third quarter of 1997. For the nine month periods, sales and marketing expenses increased from $7.0 million to $9.9 million, but remained constant as a percentage of net sales at 17%, reflecting higher sales levels. The increases in expenses in absolute dollars in both periods were primarily due to higher headcount associated with expansion of the direct sales force and the customer service and technical support organizations, as well as higher promotional expenses. The Company anticipates that sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase substantially in absolute dollars, although such expenses may vary as a percentage of net sales. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses increased from $0.9 million (5% of net sales) in the third quarter of 1996 to $1.4 million (8% of net sales) in the third quarter of 1997. For the nine month periods, general and administrative expenses increased from $2.3 million to $3.6 million, but remained constant as a percentage of net sales at 6%. The increases in expenses in absolute dollars in both periods were principally attributable to costs of supporting the Company's growth in headcount and operations and providing for a higher accounts receivable reserve. The Company expects to incur higher levels of general and administrative costs in the future, although such expenses may vary as a percentage of net sales. Other Income (Expense) Other income (expense), consisting principally of interest income, was $0.1 million and $0.5 million in the three and nine month periods respectively, ended September 26, 1997, compared to $0.2 million and $0.7 million in the corresponding periods of 1996. The decreases in both periods in 1997 were principally due to less interest earned on lower average cash balances. Income Taxes The provisions for income taxes for both periods of 1996 and 1997 are based on an estimated effective annual tax rate of 5% and 15%, respectively. The increase in effective rate in 1997 compared to 1996 is due primarily to the expectation that the Company's net operating loss carryovers will be fully utilized during 1997. The Company's effective tax rate for 1996 resulted from federal and state alternative minimum taxes. 8 9 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash used in operations was approximately $0.0 million and $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 27, 1996 and September 26, 1997, respectively. The increase in cash used in operations was primarily due to higher accounts receivable, partially offset by higher net income and cash generated from reduction in inventory. The increase in accounts receivable during the first nine months of 1997 was attributable principally to the pattern of sales in the third quarter of 1997, which were concentrated in the latter part of the quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 1996, in which sales were concentrated in the first part of the quarter, and slower collections from certain customers. Additions to property, plant and equipment were approximately $5.0 million and $4.2 million in the first nine months of 1996 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in capital expenditures in 1997 compared to 1996 was due principally to leasehold improvements and the acquisition of furniture and fixtures in 1996 in connection with the new corporate headquarters in Sunnyvale, California which the Company occupied in August 1996. The Company expects to spend a total of approximately $5.0 million on capital expenditures in 1997, primarily for manufacturing and test equipment. As of September 26, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9.9 million. During the third quarter, the Company renegotiated its bank line of credit, which now provides for up to $12.0 million in borrowings, and entered into a $3.0 million equipment term loan facility. The bank line and equipment term loan expire in October 1998. There were no outstanding borrowings during the third quarter of 1997. The Company believes that its existing liquidity sources and anticipated funds from operations will satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Potential Fluctuations in Future Operating Results The Company's operating results have fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate in the future, on an annual and a quarterly basis, as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of the Company's control, including the level of capital spending in the cable television industry, changes in the regulatory environment, changes in market demand, the timing of customer orders, competitive market conditions, lengthy sales cycles, new product introductions by the Company or its competitors, market acceptance of new or existing products, the cost and availability of components, the mix of the Company's customer base and sales channels, the mix of products sold, development of custom products, the level of international sales and general economic conditions. In addition, in each of the first three quarters of 1997, the Company has recognized a substantial portion of its revenues in the last month of the quarter. The Company establishes its expenditure levels for product development and other operating expenses based on projected sales levels, and expenses are relatively fixed in the short term. Accordingly, variations in timing of sales has caused, and may in the future cause, significant fluctuations in operating results. In addition, because a significant portion of the Company's business is derived from orders placed by a limited number of large customers, the timing of such orders can also cause significant fluctuations in the Company's operating results. If sales are below expectations in any given quarter, the adverse impact of the shortfall on the Company's operating results may be magnified by the Company's inability to adjust spending to compensate for the shortfall. 9 10 Dependence on Key Customers and End Users Historically, a substantial majority of the Company's sales have been to relatively few customers. Sales to the Company's ten largest customers in 1995, 1996 and the first nine months of 1997 accounted for approximately 80%, 72% and 59%, respectively, of its net sales. Due in part to the consolidation of ownership of domestic cable television systems, the Company expects that sales to relatively few customers will continue to account for a significant percentage of export sales for the foreseeable future. Harmonic has adopted a strategy to sell to major domestic customers through its own direct sales force and domestic OEM and distributor revenues were a smaller percentage of net sales in the first three quarters of 1997 than they have been in prior years. Substantially all of the Company's sales are made on a purchase order basis, and none of the Company's customers has entered into a long-term agreement requiring it to purchase the Company's products. The loss of, or any reduction in orders from, a significant customer would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. Dependence on Cable Television Industry Capital Spending To date, substantially all of the Company's sales have been derived, directly or indirectly, from sales to cable television operators. Demand for the Company's products depends to a significant extent upon the magnitude and timing of capital spending by cable television operators for constructing, rebuilding or upgrading their systems. The capital spending patterns of cable television operators are dependent on a variety of factors, including access to financing, cable television operators' annual budget cycles, the status of federal, local and foreign government regulation of telecommunications and television broadcasting, overall demand for cable television services, competitive pressures (including the availability of alternative video delivery technologies such as satellite broadcasting), discretionary customer spending patterns and general economic conditions. The Company believes that the consolidation of ownership of domestic cable television systems, by acquisition and system exchanges, together with uncertainty over regulatory issues, particularly the debate over the provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, caused delays in capital spending by major domestic MSOs during the second half of 1995 and first quarter of 1996. The Company's net sales in the third quarter of 1997 were adversely affected by a slow-down in spending by cable television operators. In addition, cable television capital spending can be subject to the effects of seasonality, with fewer construction and upgrade projects typically occurring in winter months and otherwise being affected by inclement weather. Highly Competitive Industry The market for cable television transmission equipment is extremely competitive and has been characterized by rapid technological change. Most of the Company's competitors are substantially larger and have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Company. Many of such large competitors are in a better position to withstand any significant reduction in capital spending by cable television operators. In addition, many of the Company's competitors have more long standing and established relationships with domestic and foreign cable television operators than does the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in the future or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. Rapid Technological Change The market for the Company's products is relatively new, making it difficult to accurately predict the market's future growth rate, size and technological direction. In view of the evolving nature of this market, there can be no assurance that cable television operators, telephone companies or other suppliers of broadband services will not decide to adopt alternative architectures or technologies that are incompatible with the Company's products, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. 10 11 The broadband communications markets are characterized by continuing technological advancement. To compete successfully, the Company must design, develop, manufacture and sell new products that provide increasingly higher levels of performance and reliability. As new markets for broadband communications equipment continue to develop, the Company must successfully develop new products for these markets in order to remain competitive. For example, to compete successfully in the future, the Company believes that it must successfully develop and introduce products that will facilitate the processing and transmission of digital signals over optical networks. While the Company has announced and demonstrated initial products for digital applications, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully complete development of, or successfully introduce, products for digital applications, or that such products will achieve commercial acceptance. In addition, in order to successfully develop and market its planned products for digital applications, the Company may be required to enter into technology development or licensing agreements with third parties. Although many companies are often willing to enter into such technology development or licensing agreements, there can be no assurance that such agreements will be negotiated on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. The failure to enter into technology development or licensing agreements, when necessary, could limit the Company's ability to develop and market new products and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. The failure of the Company to successfully develop and introduce new products that address the changing needs of the broadband communications market could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. In addition, there can be no assurance that the successful introduction by the Company of new products will not have an adverse effect on the sales of the Company's existing products. For instance, an emerging trend in the domestic market toward narrowcasting (targeted delivery of advanced services to small groups of subscribers) is causing changes in the network architectures of some cable operators. This may have the effect of changing the Company's product mix toward lower price transmitters, which could adversely affect the Company's gross margins. Sole or Limited Sources of Supply Certain components and subassemblies necessary for the manufacture of the Company's products are obtained from a sole supplier or a limited group of suppliers. The reliance on sole or limited suppliers and the Company's increasing reliance on subcontractors involve several risks, including a potential inability to obtain an adequate supply of required components or subassemblies and reduced control over pricing, quality and timely delivery of components or subassemblies. The Company does not maintain long-term agreements with any of its suppliers or subcontractors. An inability to obtain adequate deliveries or any other circumstance that would require the Company to seek alternative sources of supply could affect the Company's ability to ship its products on a timely basis, which could damage relationships with current and prospective customers and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. The Company believes that investment in inventories will constitute a significant portion of its working capital in the future. As a result of such investment in inventories, the Company may be subject to an increasing risk of inventory obsolescence in the future, which would materially and adversely affect its business and operating results. Risks of International Operations Sales to customers outside of the United States in 1995, 1996 and the first nine months of 1997 represented 65%, 57% and 61% of net sales, respectively, and the Company expects that international sales will continue to represent a substantial portion of its net sales for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company has an Israeli subsidiary that engages primarily in research and development. International operations are subject to a number of risks, including changes in foreign government regulations and telecommunications standards, export license requirements, tariffs and taxes, other trade barriers, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, difficulty in collecting accounts receivable, difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations and political and economic instability. While international sales are typically denominated in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in currency exchange 11 12 rates could cause the Company's products to become relatively more expensive to customers in a particular country, leading to a reduction in sales or profitability in that country. Payment cycles for international customers are typically longer than those for customers in the United States. There can be no assurance that foreign markets will continue to develop or that the Company will receive additional orders to supply its products for use in foreign broadband systems. Management of Growth The growth in the Company's business has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a significant strain on the Company's limited personnel, management and other resources. The Company's ability to manage any future growth effectively will require it to attract, train, motivate and manage new employees successfully, to integrate new employees into its overall operations, to retain key employees and to continue to improve its operational, financial and management systems. Any failure by the Company to manage effectively its future growth could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. The growth in the Company's business has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a significant strain on the Company's limited personnel, management and other resources. The Company's ability to manage any future growth effectively will require it to attract, train and manage new employees successfully, to integrate new employees into its overall operations, to retain key employees and to continue to improve its operational, financial and management systems. Any failure by the Company to manage effectively its future growth could have an adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results. Risks Associated with New Media Acquisition In September 1997 the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire N.M. New Media Communication Ltd. ("New Media"), a provider of broadband high-speed data delivery software and hardware technology based in Tel Aviv, Israel.
