FREMONT, Calif., July 22, 2009 — 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 second quarter ended June 28, 2009.
Revenue in the second quarter of 2009 was $22.4 million compared with revenue of $20.7 million for the first quarter of 2009 and revenue of $29.9 million for the second quarter of 2008.
“Revenue for the second quarter increased 8% sequentially, driven by demand for our gateway products in Europe, Korea and Japan,” said Michael Gulett, Ikanos’ president and CEO. “In the quarter, we also made significant progress on our integration plans for Conexant’s Broadband Access product line. Customers have provided favorable feedback on the pending deal. In addition, the synergies created by the transaction should allow the Company to be profitable on a non-GAAP basis within the first year after the close of the acquisition.”
GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2009 was $6.4 million, or $0.22 per share, on 29.4 million weighted average outstanding shares. This compares with a net loss of $6.1 million, or $0.21 per share, on 29.1 million weighted average shares in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and with a net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.14 per share, on 29.3 million weighted average shares in the second quarter of 2008.
Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2009 was $2.8 million, or $0.09 per share. This compares with a non-GAAP net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.10 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and with a non-GAAP net income of $1.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2008.
Revenue for the six months ended June 28, 2009 was $43.2 million, compared with the $59.6 million reported for the six months ended June 29, 2008.
GAAP net loss for the six months ended June 28, 2009 was $12.5 million, or $0.43 per share, on 29.3 million weighted average shares. This compares with a net loss of $8.8 million, or $0.30 per share, on 29.4 million weighted average shares for the year ago period.
Non-GAAP net loss for the six months ended June 28, 2009 was $5.6 million, or $0.19 per share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $1.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the year ago period. Weighted average shares used in computing non-GAAP net income (loss) per share were 29.3 million in 2009 and 30.7 million in 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, fair value adjustment of the acquired inventory and in-process research and development charges. 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 schedule.
Recent Highlights:
• Ikanos VDSL2 central office (CO) and customer premises equipment (CPE) chipsets were chosen by Ubiquoss Corporation, a leading provider of communications equipment specializing in last-mile solutions, for use in Internet protocol digital subscriber line access multiplexers (IP DSLAMS). The Ikanos-based IP DSLAMs are being utilized by one of Korea’s leading telecom providers in a fiber-to-the-building (FTTB) network deployment that will provide high-speed Internet services to multi-dwelling units (MDUs) across Korea.
• Ikanos – along with Belgacom, Belgium’s leading telecommunications service provider, Alcatel-Lucent and Sagem Communications – were awarded the 2009 Innovations Award for Fixed Network Infrastructure by Global Telecoms Business magazine. Belgacom’s hybrid fiber/VDSL2 network incorporates central office (CO) and customer premises equipment (CPE) semiconductors from Ikanos, IP DSLAMs from Alcatel-Lucent and residential gateways from Sagem Communications. By using fiber and VDSL2, Belgacom is able to cost-effectively offer revenue-enhancing services.
• Ikanos’ high performance Fusiv® Vx180 gateway processor was selected by Allied Data Technologies, a Dutch manufacturer of datacom and other communications equipment, for integration into advanced residential and small-to-medium enterprise (SME)-class gateways. The Ikanos-based VDSL2 multi-play gateways are targeted for deployment in IP-enabled multi-service VDSL2 access networks throughout Asia, Western Europe and the United States.
Outlook excludes the potential impact of the Broadband Access Product Line Acquisition:
• Revenue is expected to be between $23 million and $25 million for the third quarter of 2009.
• Non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be between 43% and 45% in the third quarter of 2009. GAAP gross margins in the third quarter of 2009 will be lower than non-GAAP gross margins, as they will include amortization of acquisition-related intangibles of approximately $0.7 million and charges related to stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FAS 123(R) of approximately $0.1 million.
• Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $11.5 to $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2009. GAAP operating expenses in the third quarter of 2009 will be higher than non-GAAP operating expenses, as they will include amortization of acquisition-related intangibles of $0.4 million, charges related to stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FAS 123(R) of $1.3 to $1.6 million and transaction-related expenses of $3.0 to $6.0 million, depending on the outcome of the stockholder meeting.

Actual events or results may differ materially from those described in this document due to a number of risks and uncertainties. These potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the complexity of combining the BBA business, effects of the on-going worldwide economic recession on our customers’ purchasing plans, our ability to deliver full production releases of our newer products and the acceptance of those products our customers, the continued demand by telecommunications service providers for ADSL and VDSL semiconductor products, the failure of service providers to implement deployment plans on schedule or at all, our continued ability to deliver production volumes of new products and technologies, our ability to generate demand and close transactions for the sale of our products, and unexpected future costs, expenses and financing requirements. Important factors that may cause such a difference with respect to the ability of Ikanos to close the transactions announced in this press release, the Company’s future revenues, costs of sales and expenses, net income and earnings per share, product plans, market size and ability to address demand include, without limitation the inability of the Company, Conexant Systems and Tallwood Venture Capital to obtain the necessary approvals and satisfy all closing conditions for the announced transactions, as well as the inability of Ikanos, after the transactions close, to execute its plan for the combined business, to sell its expanded product lines in light of the current worldwide recession, to reduce and manage total operating costs of the business while continuing to meet product delivery commitments to current and prospective customers, to continue developing products on a schedule that meets customer and market-window requirements and to properly anticipate the future semiconductor product requirements for broadband communications to and through the home, our expectations regarding future profitability; and operational and strategic plans.
