Historical Stock Chart
From Nov 2019 to Nov 2024
Symmetricom, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precise time and
frequency technologies that accelerate the deployment, enable the
management and assure the performance of next generation networks, today
reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended September
28, 2008.
Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 was $55.9 million, an
increase of 10.2% from $50.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2008. Symmetricom earned $2.6 million, or $0.06 per share from
continuing operations on a fully diluted basis, compared with a net loss
from continuing operations of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share on a
fully diluted basis, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
Non-GAAP net income in the first quarter was $4.5 million, or $0.10 per
share on a fully diluted basis, compared with $1.8 million, or $0.04 per
share on a fully diluted basis, in the same period of the prior year. A
reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided at the end of
this press release.
Cash and short term investments totaled $106.4 million as of September
28, 2008, a decrease of $57.9 million from June 29, 2008. During the
first quarter, the company used $62.5 million to repurchase a portion of
Symmetricom’s outstanding convertible
debentures and $1.8 million for stock buybacks. Net cash flow from
operating activities was $8.4 million and property, plant and equipment
purchases were $1.1 million, resulting in free cash flow of $7.3 million.
Business Segment Results
Telecom Solutions Division revenue in the quarter was $39.0 million, up
27.9% from $30.5 million in the same period of the prior year. Growth in
Telecom Solutions Division revenue was primarily driven by shipments of
TimeCreator™, our new precise timing product
for DOCSIS 3.0 broadband cable networks. Timing, Test & Measurement
Division revenue in the quarter was $16.9 million, down 16.5% from $20.2
million in the same period of the prior year.
“Strong shipments of our new cable product
made a significant contribution to overall revenue growth and operating
profit in the first quarter,” said Thomas
Steipp, president and CEO. “I credit our
strong financial performance to the growing diversification of our
product portfolio and markets we serve. On the commercial side, cable
has become a meaningful revenue contributor, while in our government
business, strong orders show broad-based and relatively stable
Government spending on our products.”
“In addition to an expanding product portfolio
and customer base, our solid balance sheet provides flexibility and
allows us to capitalize on a wider range of opportunities, such as the
recently announced increase to our stock repurchase program,”
said Justin Spencer, chief financial officer.
Second Quarter and Fiscal 2009 Guidance
Symmetricom reaffirms its previous guidance for fiscal year 2009 as
follows:
Net revenues in the range of $230 million to $240 million
GAAP earnings in the range of $0.20 to $0.26 per share
Non-GAAP earnings in the range of $0.35 to $0.41 per share
For the second fiscal quarter, Symmetricom expects:

GAAP results ranging from a net loss of $(0.01) per share to net
earnings of $0.04 per share
Non-GAAP earnings in the range of $0.03 to $0.08 per share
A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP guidance is provided at the end of

Non-GAAP Information
Certain non-GAAP financial information is included in this press
release. In the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results, Symmetricom
excludes certain items related to non-cash compensation, amortization of
acquired intangibles, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles,
integration and restructuring charges, investment gains and losses, and
unusual and non-recurring items. Symmetricom believes that excluding
such items provides investors and management with a representation of
the company’s core operating performance and
with information useful in assessing our prospects for the future and
underlying trends in Symmetricom’s operating
performance. Management uses such non-GAAP information to evaluate
financial results and to establish operational goals. Non-GAAP
information is not determined using GAAP and should not be considered
superior to or as a substitute for data prepared in accordance with
GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to the GAAP results is
provided in the financial schedules portion of this press release.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities
minus purchases of property, plant and equipment. We believe this metric
provides useful information to our investors, analysts, and management
about the level of cash generated by normal business operations,
including the use of cash for the purchase of property, plant and
equipment. Management also views it as a measure of cash available to
pay debt and return cash to stockholders. Free Cash Flow is not a GAAP
financial measure and should not be considered superior to or a
substitute for operating cash flow or other cash flow data prepared in
accordance with GAAP.
Safe Harbor
This press release contains forward-looking information within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is
subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. These
forward-looking statements include statements concerning second quarter
and fiscal 2009 guidance and our expectations of operating performance
in fiscal 2009, as well as the information regarding the usefulness of
the non-GAAP financial information. Symmetricom's actual results could
differ materially from those projected or suggested in these
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause future actual
results to differ materially from the results projected in or suggested
by such forward-looking statements include: reduced rates of demand for
telecommunication products, cable products or test and measurement
products, our customers’ ability and need to
upgrade existing equipment, our ability to reduce manufacturing and
operating costs, timing of orders, cancellation or delay of customer
orders, loss of customers, customer acceptance of new products,
recessionary pressures, geopolitical risks such as terrorist acts and
the risk factors listed from time to time in Symmetricom's reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the annual report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2008 and subsequent Form
10-Q’s and Form 8-K’s.
