Symmetricom, Inc. (NASDAQ:SYMM), a major supplier of precise time and frequency technologies, today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2010 ended December 27, 2009.

Net revenue from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $56.9 million, up 19% compared to the $47.6 million reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Symmetricom reported net earnings from continuing operations of $1.9 million, or $0.04 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to net earnings of $1.2 million, or $0.02 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $4.3 million, or $0.10 per share, compared with $2.8 million, or $0.06 per share, in the same period of the prior year.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2010, Symmetricom committed to a plan to sell its video Quality of Experience business, and is currently engaged in negotiations toward an expected sale transaction. Accordingly, the assets and related liabilities for this business have been classified as held for sale and the results of operations have been reflected as a discontinued operation.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $120.8 million as of December 27, 2009, an increase of $1.7 million from the $119.1 million reported as of September 27, 2009. Net cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter was $5.7 million and property, plant and equipment purchases were approximately $3.1 million, resulting in free cash flow of $2.6 million.

“I am pleased with our results for the second quarter as our revenues, earnings and cash flow were all up from the prior year period,” said Dave Côté, Chief Executive Officer of Symmetricom. “We benefited from business strength across a wide spectrum of products, markets, and geographies led by improved carrier spending on next-generation networks. We continue to see acceleration of Ethernet backhaul deployments using our new IEEE 1588 precise packet timing products and our government business remained robust. Based on solid first half results and the strength we’ve seen in our services and OEM businesses, we are raising our full year revenue guidance to a range of $220 million to $235 million from the former range of $210 million to $230 million.”

Business Highlights

Revenue in our Communications business in the second quarter was $35.2 million compared to $26.7 million reported in the same period of last year. The 32% year-over-year growth was driven by increases in sales of sync equipment, continuing deployment of our WiMAX solutions, and growth in installation services revenues.

Revenue in our Timing, Test & Measurement business in the second quarter was $21.6 million compared to $21.0 million reported in the same period of last year. Revenues in TT&M improved due to strong sales of cesium atomic clocks for government applications.

Third Quarter and Fiscal 2010 Guidance

Symmetricom’s guidance for fiscal 2010 is as follows:

  • Net revenue is expected to be in the range of $220 million to $235 million
  • GAAP earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.13 to $0.22
  • Non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.38 to $0.45

For the third quarter of fiscal 2010, Symmetricom guidance is as follows:

  • Net revenue is expected to be in the range of $55 million to $62 million
  • GAAP earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.02 to $0.08
  • Non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.09 to $0.14

A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP guidance is provided at the end of this press release.

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 equity-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring charges, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, gains and losses on investments and repayment of convertible notes, non-cash interest expense charges, and other unusual or infrequent items. The income tax effect after these Non-GAAP adjustments is determined based upon Symmetricom’s estimate of its annual Non-GAAP effective tax rate excluding these Non-GAAP adjustments. Symmetricom believes that excluding such items provides investors, analysts and management with a representation of the Company’s core operating performance and with information useful in assessing Symmetricom’s prospects for the future and underlying trends in operating performance. Management uses such Non-GAAP information to evaluate financial results and to establish operational goals. Non-GAAP information 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. Symmetricom believes 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.

These forward-looking statements include statements concerning second quarter and fiscal 2010 guidance and our prospects for longer term growth expectations of operating performance in fiscal 2010, the expected sale of the QoE business, as well as the information regarding the usefulness of the non-GAAP financial information.
