SYRACUSE, N.Y., April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Anaren, Inc. (NASDAQ:ANEN) today reported record net sales for the third quarter ended March 31, 2007 of $32.6 million, up 22% from the third quarter of fiscal year 2006.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20021022/NYTU197LOGO )
Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was $4.1 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, up 26% from $3.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share for the third quarter of last year. Net income for the quarter included $0.04 per diluted share in stock based compensation expense. Excluding stock based compensation expense, net income for the third quarter was $4.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share.
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 26.4%, compared to 22.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 as a result of the on- going phase out of the federal extraterritorial tax credit and the current increasing level of income.
Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was $4.7 million, or 14.4% of net sales, up 34% from the third quarter of last year. Operating income for the quarter included $850,000 of stock based compensation expense. Excluding stock based compensation expense, operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was $5.6 million, or 17.0% of net sales.
Lawrence A. Sala, Anaren's President and CEO said, "The growth in net sales for the quarter was driven by the Space & Defense Group due to continued production of components for a counter-improvised explosive device (IED) application as well as growth in our Wireless Group as a result of improved demand across our wireless infrastructure customers." Mr. Sala added, "Increased production of a new custom assembly product along with increased penetration of key Asian OEMs also had a positive impact on Wireless Group net sales for the quarter."
For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, net sales were $93.1 million, up 22% from the first nine months of fiscal 2006. Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was $13.1 million, or 14.0% of net sales, up 62% from the first nine months of last year. Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 included $2.5 million in stock based compensation expense. Operating income before stock based compensation expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was 16.7% of net sales. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was $11.9 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, including $0.12 per diluted share in stock based compensation expense. This compares to net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 of $7.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, which included $2.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share in stock based compensation expense.
Balance Sheet
During the third quarter, the Company generated $3.3 million in cash from operations and used $12.1 million to repurchase 716,774 shares of its common stock. Expenditures for capital additions in the third quarter were $3.2 million driven primarily by the building expansion at the Company's East Syracuse, New York manufacturing facility and capital equipment purchases for the Company's new LTCC manufacturing capability. Funds required for stock repurchases and capital expenditures in excess of funds generated by operations came from maturities of the Company's investments. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities at March 31, 2007 were $79.4 million.
Wireless Group
Wireless Group net sales for the quarter were $17.8 million, up 11.7% from the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Demand increased from second quarter levels across all wireless infrastructure product lines. Sales of consumer component products were $0.9 million for the quarter, up 48% from the third quarter of last year. A shift in product mix at our direct broadcast satellite customers has reduced demand for our balun products.
Wireless infrastructure related product development activity remains focused on expanding the ferrite component and custom assembly product lines. During the quarter the Group began volume production of a new custom assembly product, captured a design win for a new ferrite based custom assembly and began sampling a new low cost, high performance, ferrite component product for base station amplifier applications. "Though visibility remains limited, wireless infrastructure demand improved throughout the quarter and we are pleased with the pace of our new product development activities," said Mr. Sala.
Customers that generated greater than 10% of Wireless Group net sales for the quarter were Motorola, Inc. and Nokia Corp.
Space & Defense Group
Space & Defense Group net sales for the quarter were $14.8 million, up 38% from the third quarter of fiscal 2006 due largely to production of components for a counter-IED application. New orders for the quarter totaled $5.3 million and included initial funding under the previously announced Globalstar II antenna beamforming contract. The relatively low order level for the quarter was the result of timing and we continue to see numerous new Space & Defense opportunities. Space & Defense backlog at March 31, 2007 was $41.2 million.
Non-GAAP Measurements
Non-GAAP results, which are a supplement to financial results based on GAAP, exclude charges for stock based compensation. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors to help understand and compare business trends among reporting periods on a consistent basis. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measurements are one of the primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Outlook
For the fourth quarter, we expect comparable demand for wireless infrastructure and consumer component products and a decrease in sales for the Space & Defense segment as a result of the anticipated decline in sales of counter-IED related components. As a result, we expect net sales to be in the range of $28.0 - $31.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. With an anticipated tax rate of approximately 26% and an expected stock based compensation expense of approximately $0.04 per diluted share, we expect net earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $0.16 - $0.21 for the fourth quarter.

Gross Profit, Operating Income, and Net Income Excluding Stock Based
Compensation Expense
The following table reconciles the Company's net income, gross profit, operating income and earnings per share as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) with those financial measures as adjusted for stock based compensation expense and presented in the accompanying news release and associated teleconference. These calculations are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP. In keeping with its historical financial reporting practices, the Company believes that the supplemental presentation of these calculations provides meaningful non-GAAP financial measures to help investors understand and compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of this reported non-cash charge. Readers are cautioned not to view non-GAAP results presented in the table as an alternative to GAAP results or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies, and should refer to the reconciliation of GAAP results with non-GAAP results for the third quarters and first nine months of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively.
