FREMONT, Calif., February 8, 2010 — Ikanos Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: IKAN), a leading provider of advanced broadband semiconductor and software products for the digital home, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 3, 2010.
“Ikanos delivered record revenue and returned to profitability on a non-GAAP basis in the fourth quarter,” said Michael Gulett, president and CEO of Ikanos. “We completed our first full quarter since the acquisition of the Conexant broadband business and effectively executed our business plan. We grew and diversified our revenue base across multiple regions, customers and product lines, we consolidated development efforts and reduced operating expenses, and we were able to begin redirecting engineering investments towards new markets for future growth.”
Financial Highlights:
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $58.2 million compared with revenue of $29.3 million for the third quarter of 2009 and revenue of $22.8 million for the year ago period. Revenue for the year ended January 3, 2010 was $130.7 million compared with the $106.5 million reported for the year ended December 28, 2008.
Ikanos reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and additionally on a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP net income (loss), where applicable, excludes the income statement effects of stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and certain expenses resulting from acquisitions such as transaction-related expenses, amortization of intangible assets, asset impairments, investment impairments, one time severance expenses, fair value adjustment of the acquired inventory, in-process research and development charges and gain on sale of securities. Ikanos has provided these measures because management believes these additional non-GAAP measures are useful to investors for performing financial analysis as these additional measures highlight Ikanos’ recurring operating results. Ikanos’ management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate its operating performance and to plan for its future. However, non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP reporting. For a reconciliation of GAAP versus non-GAAP financial information, please see the attached schedules.
GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $9.1 million, or $0.17 per share, on 53.9 million weighted average shares. This compares with a net loss of $15.5 million, or $0.40 per share, on 38.8 million weighted average shares in the third quarter of 2009 and with a net loss of $5.7 million, or $0.20 per share, on 28.9 million weighted average shares in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $1.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, on 56.1 million weighted average shares. This compares with non-GAAP net loss of $4.5 million, or $0.12 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, and with a non-GAAP net loss of $2.4 million, or $0.08 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2008.
GAAP net loss for the year ended January 3, 2010 was $37.1 million, or $0.97 per share, on 38.1 million weighted average shares. This compares with a net loss of $41.1 million, or $1.41 per share, on 29.1 million weighted average shares for the year ago period.
Non-GAAP net loss for the year ended January 3, 2010 was $8.5 million, or $0.22 per share, compared with non-GAAP net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.10 per share, for the year ago period.
