Harmonic Announces Second Quarter 2014 Results

July 28, 2014

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Harmonic Inc. (Nasdaq:HLIT), the worldwide leader in video delivery infrastructure, announced today unaudited results for the second quarter of 2014 which are in line with the preliminary results disclosed in the Company's press release dated July 14, 2014.

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $109.6 million, compared with $108.0 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $117.1 million for the second quarter of 2013. As previously announced, revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was adversely impacted by a global slowdown in the Company's video products business, particularly in EMEA and among North American Broadcast and Media customers, partially offset by demand for the Company's cable edge products.

Bookings for the second quarter of 2014 were $113.4 million, compared with $126.3 million for both the first quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2013.

Total backlog and deferred revenue was $132.1 million as of June 27, 2014, compared to $126.4 million as of March 28, 2014.

GAAP net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2014 was $37.1 million, or $(0.39) per diluted share, compared with a GAAP net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2014 of $5.4 million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, and a GAAP net loss of $3.4 million from continuing operations, or $(0.03) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013. In the second quarter of 2014, Harmonic recorded a $24.5 million tax charge associated with a higher valuation allowance. The valuation allowance was a result of a history of operating losses in recent years that has led to uncertainty with respect to the Company's ability to realize certain of its net deferred tax assets.

Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2014 was $1.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $2.8 million from continuing operations, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014, and a non-GAAP net income of $5.6 million from continuing operations, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" below.

GAAP gross margin was 45.5% and GAAP operating margin was (7.9)% for the second quarter of 2014, compared with 48.4% and (6.7)%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2014, and 49.4% and (3.9)%, respectively, for the same period in 2013.

Non-GAAP gross margin was 50.1% and non-GAAP operating margin was 2.2% for the second quarter of 2014, compared with 53.3% and 3.2%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2014, and 54.1% and 6.2%, respectively, for the same period in 2013. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" below.

Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $134.4 million at the end of the second quarter of 2014, down $13.3 million from $147.7 million at the end of the prior quarter. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company generated approximately $15.5 million of cash from operations, and used approximately $25.7 million to repurchase approximately 3.6 million shares of common stock under its share repurchase program.

These risks include the possibility, in no particular order, that: the trends toward more high-definition, on-demand and anytime, anywhere video will not continue to develop at its current pace or will expire; the possibility that our products will not generate sales that are commensurate with our expectations or that our cost of revenue or operating expenses may exceed our expectations; the mix of products and services sold in various geographies and the effect it has on gross margins; delays or decreases in capital spending in the cable, satellite and telco and broadcast and media industries; customer concentration and consolidation; the impact of general economic conditions on our sales and operations; our ability to develop new and enhanced products in a timely manner and market acceptance of our new or existing products; losses of one or more key customers; risks associated with our international operations, including in Ukraine; risks associated with our CCAP product initiative, dependence on market acceptance of several broadband services, on the adoption of new broadband technologies and on broadband industry trends; inventory management; the lack of timely availability of parts or raw materials necessary to produce our products; the impact of increases in the prices of raw materials and oil; the effect of competition, on both revenue and gross margins; difficulties associated with rapid technological changes in our markets; risks associated with unpredictable sales cycles; our dependence on contract manufacturers and sole or limited source suppliers; the effect on our business of natural disasters; and the risk that our share repurchase program will not continue to result in material purchases of our common stock.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In establishing operating budgets, managing its business performance, and setting internal measurement targets, we exclude 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 margin, operating expenses, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss); including those amounts as a percentage of revenue, and net income (loss) per diluted 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 the historical non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable historical GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements provided with this press release. The non-GAAP adjustments described below have historically been excluded from our GAAP financial measures. These adjustments are restructuring and related charges and non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, and adjustments that normalize the tax rate. The effects of stock-based compensation expense specific to common stock options are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price. We expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant impact on our GAAP financial results.
