Calix Reports Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results

PETALUMA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/25/12 -- Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) today announced unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 29, 2012. Revenue for the third quarter of 2012 was $81.3 million, an increase of 3.0% compared to $78.9 million in the prior quarter and a decrease of 2.8% compared to $83.7 million for the third quarter of 2011.

"The modest year-over-year decrease in revenue confirms the challenging macro-economic environment that the entire communications equipment segment has seen," said Carl Russo, president and CEO of Calix. "Our three percent sequential growth and improving balance sheet, however, point to our strengthening competitive position moving forward."

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $1.8 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted share. Non-GAAP net income was $3.6 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011. A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is included as part of this release.

GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2012 was $7.1 million, or $(0.15) per basic and diluted share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $6.9 million, or $(0.15) per basic and diluted share for the third quarter of 2011. A reconciliation of our third quarter 2012 operating results from non-GAAP to GAAP is provided below:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release to supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP basic and diluted income per share. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance the reader's understanding of the Company's operating performance as they primarily exclude certain non-cash charges for stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and non-recurring merger-related and other expenses, which the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. Merger-related and other expenses largely include the charge resulting from the required revaluation of Occam inventory to its estimated fair value, legal and professional expenses, severance and integration-related expenses and inventory-related charges associated with our merger with Occam. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures used in this press release provide investors with important perspectives into the Company's ongoing business performance and management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate financial results and to establish operational goals. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures is not meant to be a substitute for results presented in accordance with GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with those GAAP results. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to the most directly comparable GAAP results is provided in this press release. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
