FREMONT, CA--(Marketwire - February 10, 2011) - Ikanos Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: [ IKAN ])

Recent Highlights:

  • Substantially completed its worldwide restructuring plan
  • Increased cash, cash equivalents, and investments to $31 million through underwritten public stock offering and lower operating expenses
  • Delivered continued progress on NodeScale™ Vectoring technology

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 2, 2011.

"In the last two quarters, Ikanos made a number of strategic moves to strengthen its financial position and adjust operations to meet our revenue expectations," said John Quigley, CEO and president of Ikanos. "We restructured the Company, began transitioning away from lower-margin products, established a compelling roadmap of differentiated products, and put in place new program management tools and processes to help us better manage expenses and the overall business. All of these elements contributed to our results and non-GAAP profit in the fourth quarter."

Financial Details:

Ikanos reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and provides certain supplemental financial information which include the following non-GAAP measures: non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. These non-GAAP measures are calculated by excluding certain items that generally are non-recurring events or are non-cash items including, among others, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, asset impairments of intangibles and goodwill, and fair value adjustments of acquired inventory. These non-GAAP measures also exclude items which Ikanos' management does not consider in evaluating its on-going business, such as restructuring charges, certain one-time severance expenses, certain prepaid write-offs, and certain expenses resulting from acquisitions such as transaction-related expenses. Ikanos considers the non-GAAP information to be important because it believes it provides better transparency and clarity into Ikanos' operational results and is used by Ikanos' management for that purpose. In addition, investors often use measures such as these to evaluate the financial performance of a company. These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding Ikanos' operating results. These non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for cost of revenue, gross profit, operating expenses, net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share presented in accordance with GAAP, and the non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

For a reconciliation of GAAP versus non-GAAP financial information, please see the attached schedules.

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $37.1 million compared with revenue of $41.5 million for the third quarter of 2010 and revenue of $58.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Revenue for the year ended January 2, 2011 was $191.7 million compared with the $130.7 million reported for the year ended January 3, 2010.

GAAP operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2010 were $18.6 million, after deducting a research and development credit of $1.3 million offset by restructuring charges of $0.6 million. The third quarter GAAP operating expenses were $46.4 million, which included an asset impairment charge of $21.4 million for write-downs of goodwill and acquisition-related intangibles and restructuring charges of $3.8 million.

Non-GAAP operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2010 were $17.4 million, after deducting the research and development credit of $1.3 million. The third quarter non-GAAP operating expenses were $20.2 million.

GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $(1.4) million, or $(0.02) per share, on 63.0 million weighted average shares. This compares with a net loss of $(33.3) million, or $(0.61) per share, on 54.9 million weighted average shares in the third quarter of 2010 and with a net loss of $(9.1) million, or $(0.17) per share, on 53.9 million weighted average shares in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, on 63.8 million weighted average shares.

GAAP net loss for the year ended January 2, 2011 was $(49.8) million, or $(0.88) per share, on 56.7 million weighted average shares. This compares with a net loss of $(37.1) million, or $(0.97) per share, on 38.1 million weighted average shares for the fourth quarter of 2009.

Non-GAAP net loss for the year ended January 2, 2011 was $(9.7) million, or $(0.17) per share, compared with non-GAAP net loss of $(8.5) million, or $(0.22) per share, for the fourth quarter of 2009. Weighted average shares used in computing non-GAAP net loss per share were 56.7 million in 2010 and 38.1 million in 2009.

The 2010 fiscal year-end cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments increased to $31 million as compared to $27.5 million at fiscal year-end 2009. Additionally, the 2010 fiscal year-end inventory balance decreased to $17 million as compared to $35 million at fiscal year-end 2009, and current liabilities decreased to $23.7 million as compared to $43.7 million, respectively.

Recent Highlights:

  • Ikanos filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 2010. Utilizing the registration statement, Ikanos closed an underwritten public offering of its common stock during the fourth quarter. In this offering, Ikanos issued a total of 12.8 million shares of common stock at $1.05 per share. The net proceeds to Ikanos from the sale of shares were approximately $12.5 million net of the underwriting discount and offering expenses.
  • On January 7, 2011, Ikanos announced the addition of R. Douglas Norby to its board of directors as a non-executive director. Norby was appointed to the Audit Committee as the designated financial expert and was appointed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
  • During the fourth quarter of 2010, Ikanos continued to make significant progress on its NodeScale Vectoring product. Ikanos' patent-pending DSL access technology enables customers, such as ZTE Corporation, to achieve performance previously unattainable from service provider networks.

"Ikanos bolstered its financial foundation with an underwritten round of financing in the fourth quarter of 2010, raising $12.5 million," continued Quigley. "We believe these additional funds will provide us with sufficient working capital for ongoing operations, the launch of new central office and customer premises products this year, and the development of next-generation products including our NodeScale Vectoring platform and advanced processors."

Outlook:

  • Revenue is forecasted to be between $31.0 million and $34.0 million for the first quarter of 2011.
  • GAAP gross margins in the first quarter of 2011 are forecasted to between 46% and 48%. Non-GAAP gross margins are forecasted to be between 47% and 49% in the first quarter of 2011.
  • GAAP operating expenses in the first quarter of 2011 are forecasted to be in the range of $20 to $21 million. Non-GAAP operating expenses are forecasted to be in the range of $19 to $20 million in the first quarter of 2011.
