Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On October 21, 2004, Harmonic Inc. (“Harmonic”) issued a press release regarding its financial results for the quarter ended October 1, 2004. Harmonic also announced that it would be holding a conference call on Thursday, October 21, 2004, to discuss its financial results for the quarter ended October 1, 2004.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.

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

Expecting Strong Sales and Earnings Growth in Fourth Quarter

SUNNYVALE, Calif.—October 21, 2004—Harmonic Inc. (Nasdaq: HLIT) today announced its results for the quarter ended October 1, 2004. The results are in line with its preliminary estimates for the quarter, announced on October 11, 2004.

For the third quarter of 2004, the Company reported net sales of approximately $50.6 million, up from $47.3 million in the third quarter of 2003. As previously announced, the Company’s lower than anticipated revenues in the third quarter of 2004 primarily reflected the timing of two significant customer orders, which the Company expects to recognize as revenue in the fourth quarter. Due mostly to increasing customer demand worldwide and partly because of the timing of these two major orders, the Company expects net sales for the fourth quarter of 2004 in the range of $72 million to $78 million.

The CS division, which designs, manufactures and markets digital headend systems for a number of markets, had divisional net sales of $34.6 million in the third quarter, up from $33.3 million in the previous quarter. The BAN division, which designs, manufactures and markets fiber optic products for broadband cable networks, had divisional net sales of $16.0 million, compared to $23.7 million in the previous quarter. International sales represented 59% of total sales for the third quarter of 2004, up from 29% in the third quarter of 2003.

“While the timing of customer shipments remains difficult to predict, we expect strong sales and earnings growth in the fourth quarter,” said Anthony J. Ley, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are very encouraged with the strength of our international business and the diversification of our customer base across cable, satellite and telco markets. During the third quarter, we supplied a number of international telco customers with encoders for video-over-DSL and continued to work with domestic telcos on fiber-to-the-premises and other designs to offer digital video. We also continued to help our customers, across different markets, prepare for next-generation compression standards.”

At the end of the third quarter of 2004, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $89.4 million. The GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2004 was $4.2 million or $0.06 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $7.5 million or $0.12 per share for the same period of 2003. Excluding an inventory benefit relating to the sale of previously reserved inventory and the effects of non-cash accounting charges for the amortization of intangibles, the non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2004 was $2.0 million or $0.03 per share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $4.2 million or $0.07 per share for the same period of 2003.

For the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company expects net sales in the range of $72 million to $78 million, with GAAP net income in the range of $0.03 to $0.07 per share and non-GAAP net income, excluding the amortization of intangibles, of $0.08 to $0.12 per share.

Harmonic’s conference call regarding its results for the third quarter of 2004 will be held 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 +1-415-908-4707 (Reservation No. 21180560). The replay will be available after 5:00 p.m. today at the same website address or by calling +1-402-977-9140 (Reservation No. 21180560).
