Symmetricom, Inc. (NASDAQ:SYMM):

  • Net revenue of $56.5 million
  • Income from continuing operations of $3.7 million, or $0.08 per share
  • Non-GAAP Income from continuing operations of $6.4 million, or $0.15 per share
  • Free cash flow of $9.9 million

Symmetricom, Inc. (NASDAQ:SYMM), a major supplier of precise time and frequency technologies, today reported financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2010 ended March 28, 2010.

Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $56.5 million, compared to the $56.2 million reported for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Symmetricom reported income from continuing operations of $3.7 million, or $0.08 per share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $46.8 million, or $(1.08) per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The loss from continuing operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was principally driven by a $48.1 million charge for impairment of goodwill and $5.9 million of restructuring charges.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, Symmetricom completed the sale of its video Quality of Experience business and recorded income from discontinued operations of $0.8 million, or $0.02 per share.

Non-GAAP Income from continuing operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 were $6.4 million, or $0.15 per share, compared with $6.6 million, or $0.15 per share, in the same period of the prior year.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $133.5 million as of March 28, 2010, an increase of $12.7 million from the $120.8 million reported as of December 27, 2009. Net cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter was approximately $11.7 million and property, plant and equipment purchases were $1.8 million, resulting in free cash flow of $9.9 million.

“Our revenues were up slightly over the prior year quarter and improved gross margins drove strong earnings and cash flows,” said Dave Côté, Chief Executive Officer of Symmetricom. “In our Communications Business, we saw continued growth in our IEEE1588 packet timing products, driven by the continuing conversion to Ethernet backhaul by carriers worldwide. We also won a three-year, $5 million service contract with a major carrier, our largest ever. In addition, we made key organizational progress by hiring a new Executive VP of Sales, completing the sale of our QoE business, and initiating the outsourcing of activities from our Puerto Rico facility.”

Business Highlights

Revenue in our Communications business in the third quarter was $35.2 million compared to $33.4 million reported in the same period of last year. The 5% year-over-year growth was driven primarily by increased sales of our WiMAX GPS modules and growth in installation services revenues.

Revenue in our Government business in the third quarter was $21.3 million compared to $22.7 million reported in the same period of last year. The 6% year-over-year decline in revenues was due primarily to lower sales of government communications and signal intelligence systems.

Symmetricom’s updated guidance for fiscal 2010 is as follows:

  • Net revenue is expected to be in the range of $216 million to $223 million

  • Non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.37 to $0.42

  • GAAP earnings (loss) per share is expected to be in the range of $(0.03) to $0.03

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 items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing performance. 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, in conjunction with GAAP results, 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.
