P-Com Reports Third Quarter Results
- P-Com raises $11 million in capital
CAMPBELL, Calif., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- P-Com, Inc. (BULLETIN
BOARD: PCOM) , a worldwide provider of wireless telecommunications equipment,
reported today that net sales increased to $5.6 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003, compared to $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2003 and
$6.4 million for the third quarter in 2002.
Operating loss for the third quarter was $2.4 million, compared to $6.0 million
in the second quarter of 2003 and $5.8 million in the third quarter of 2002.
Due to non-cash, non-recurring items, P-Com reported a net profit for the third
quarter of 2003 of $9.4 million, or $0.22 per share, compared to a net loss of
$6 million in the second quarter of 2003, and a net loss of $9 million in the
third quarter of 2002.
Operating expenses, excluding restructuring charges of $350,000 for the quarter,
were $3.2 million, compared to $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2003, and
$6.6 million for the same period in 2002. Operating expenses, including
restructuring charges, amounted to $3.6 million for the quarterly period ended
September 30, 2003, compared to $6.9 million for the quarterly period ended June
30, 2003, and $6.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002.
Gross profit margins were 20% in the quarter, which is 3% higher than the second
quarter of 2003. The higher gross margins in the third quarter were due to
non-recurrence of certain inventory related charges incurred in the second
quarter.
"P-Com made substantial improvements to its balance sheet in the third quarter
and has now essentially completed its restructuring," said P-Com CEO Sam
Smookler. "P-Com is now better positioned to face the ongoing challenges in the
marketplace and re-emerge as a leading provider of wireless telecom equipment."

Safe Harbor Statement
Statements in this release that are forward looking involve known and unknown
risks and uncertainties, which may cause P-Com's actual results in future
periods to be materially different from any future performance that may be
suggested in this conference call. Such factors may include, but are not
limited to: the ability to achieve positive cash flow given the Company's

continued severe worldwide slowdown in the telecommunications equipment and

reliance upon subcontractors; the ability of P-Com's customers to finance their
purchases; the timing of new technology and product introductions; and the risk
of early obsolescence. Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond P-Com's
control. Reference is made to the discussion of risk factors detailed in
