99.1   Press Release of Harmonic Inc., issued on October 16, 2003

Item 12.   Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On October 16, 2003, Harmonic Inc. (“Harmonic”) is issuing a press release and holding a conference call regarding its financial results for the quarter ended September 26, 2003. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Harmonic uses non-GAAP measures of operating income/loss, net income/loss and earnings/loss per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain costs and credits and gains and losses. These non-GAAP adjustments are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, since we have historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting. Further, these non-GAAP results are a primary indicator used by management for planning and forecasting in future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP results published by other companies. A table reconciling the non-GAAP results to GAAP results is included in the accompanying press release.

Harmonic Announces Third Quarter Results

Continued Revenue Growth and Improvement in Operating Efficiencies

SUNNYVALE, Calif. — October 16, 2003 — Harmonic Inc. (Nasdaq: HLIT) today announced its results for the quarter ended September 26, 2003.

For the third quarter of 2003, Harmonic reported net sales of $47.3 million, up from $41.7 million in the previous quarter and from $37.0 million in the third quarter of 2002. Domestic sales represented 71% of total sales for the third quarter of 2003.

The CS division, which designs, manufactures and markets digital headend systems for a number of markets, had divisional net sales of $29.0 million, up from $27.1 million in the previous quarter and from $23.8 million in the third quarter of 2002. During the third quarter of 2003, the Company saw increased CS shipments to a number of its cable and satellite customers worldwide.

The BAN division, which designs, manufactures and markets fiber optic products for broadband cable networks, had divisional net sales of $18.3 million, up from $14.5 million in the previous quarter and from $13.2 million in the third quarter of 2002. The growth in BAN sales was due to increased shipments to a number of domestic and international cable operators.

“We are pleased to see a firmer industry capital spending environment, which we believe is having a positive impact on our business,” said Anthony J. Ley, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to see intensifying competition between cable and satellite operators to offer more channels of digital video and new interactive services such as video-on-demand (VOD), as well as the introduction of high-definition television (HDTV). A number of our cable customers are also deploying our fiber optic products to improve operational efficiency and configure their networks to support the new advanced services.”

“To meet demand for these new services, we recently introduced important new digital video products. Our Narrowcast Services Gateway 9000 increases the performance of our VOD system; our MV450 is a more advanced HD encoder than our existing encoder products; and our MV100 is a versatile encoder platform, capable of further increasing the compression efficiency of MPEG-2 and supporting the next-generation encoding standards, H.264 and Windows Media 9. In the fourth quarter, we expect continued

revenue growth and margin improvement, while we continue to focus on expense control.” The GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2003 was $7.5 million or $0.12 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $38.0 million or $0.63 per share for the same period of 2002. The GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2003 includes a non-cash charge for the amortization of intangibles of $3.5 million, a facilities related charge of $0.9 million, and a credit relating to the sale of previously reserved inventory of $1.1 million. Excluding the above charges and credit, the non-GAAP loss for the quarter was $4.2 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to a non-GAAP loss of $13.3 million or $0.22 per share for the third quarter of 2002. The reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP net loss is provided in the accompanying tables.

The Company will host a conference call to discuss its third quarter financial results today at 2:00 p.m. Pacific (5:00 p.m. Eastern). A listen-only broadcast of the conference call can be accessed on the Company’s website at www.harmonicinc.com or by calling +1-212-748-2800 (Reservation No. 21090933).
