Dialogic Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2010 Financial Results

Completed first quarter of combined operations

Non-GAAP Q4 revenue of $57.4 million, an 8% increase over the sum of the pre-merger

non-GAAP Q3 revenues of the two entities

Achieved record bookings and a book to bill ratio significantly greater than 1 in Q4

Raises non-GAAP gross margin guidance for 2011

February 28, 2011, SAN JOSE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Dialogic Inc. (NASDAQ: DLGC), a leading provider of communications technologies that power advanced networks, today announced fourth quarter and full year financial results for the period ending December 31, 2010. As the merger between Dialogic Corporation and the former Veraz Networks, Inc. closed on October 1, 2010, these financial results reflect the first quarter of merged company operations.

Financial Results

As reflected below in the reconciliation of the Q4, 2010 Statement of Operations to Adjusted EBITDA, on a non-GAAP basis, Dialogic recorded:

 

   

Revenue of $57.4 million, an 8% increase over the sum of the pre-merger non-GAAP Q3 revenues of the two entities

 

   

Gross Margin of 63%

 

   

Operating Expenses of $35.2 million

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 million

“In the fourth quarter, we delivered solid financial results, while introducing new products, investing in research and development, and integrating a global technology business,” said Nick Jensen, Dialogic’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are very pleased with the success of the merger thus far, and our revenue and bookings indicate the market’s acceptance of our technology solutions. We expect to realize additional cost savings from the merger as we complete the integration of the two companies in the coming quarters, which we believe will result in a normalized non-GAAP operating expense rate of $120 million on an annualized basis.”

On a GAAP basis, Q4 revenue was $55.5 million, gross margins were 54%, operating expenses were $49.8 million and net loss attributable to common shareholders was $23.0 million or $0.74 per share. In accordance with GAAP, Dialogic’s 2010 financial results set forth below reflect Dialogic Corporation’s consolidated results for the first three quarters and the combined company’s results for the fourth quarter.

Merger Integration Update

Since completing the merger on October 1, 2010, the company has made significant progress in integrating the Dialogic and Veraz Networks businesses. A key benefit of the merger was the complementary product portfolios and technology platforms of the two


entities, which are marketed and sold through existing channels to over 3,000 carrier and enterprise customers worldwide. Effective in Q1, 2011, Dialogic has organized our product and marketing groups into four new global business units:

 

   

Bandwidth Optimization

 

   

Video

 

   

Infrastructure

 

   

Value Added Services and Cloud Enablement

As this new structure is implemented, Dialogic expects to accelerate its sales, marketing and support activities into both existing and new markets and expand its product portfolio.

Recent Highlights

2010 and early 2011 was marked by new product launches, success in new market segments, substantial new customer contracts, and investments in worldwide research and development.

 

   

The company launched the Dialogic® BorderNet™ family of products which include session border controllers and launched new products in the Dialogic® I-Gate® family of mobile backhaul session bandwidth optimizers, and in our Dialogic® Vision™ family of video gateways.

 

   

Aircel in India, through Nokia Siemens Networks, awarded Dialogic what we believe to be the largest video gateway contract ever awarded. Aircel will be using the Dialogic ®Vision™ 1000 Video Gateway for its 3G video calling platform to offer advanced mobile services.

 

   

Dialogic announced new switching contracts with Global Crossing in Latin America and LS Cable in South Korea and a new video gateway contract with Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. mobile network in India via our partner Spice Digital. Dialogic’s product and technology platforms are installed in 80 countries and some of the largest networks, including more than 20 of the top 25 mobile network operators worldwide.

 

   

The company continued its investment in research and development including: opening an interoperability laboratory in Russia and opening a video design and deployment facility in India.

Company Raises Margin Range as part of Business Outlook for 2011

Today Dialogic raised its 2011 guidance range for non-GAAP gross margin.

“We are pleased with our accomplishments this quarter and we are encouraged that our vision for the future of next generation networks is now becoming a reality” said Jensen. “We invested heavily in R&D to enable applications and expand infrastructure on mobile networks, particularly video, SBC and mobile backhaul, and those investments are now delivering new products and technology platforms. We believe that we have the right products at the right time to drive the next wave of mobile application development, plus as a merged public company, we have the size and scale necessary to supply the world’s largest carriers.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the measures in this press release are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the SEC Regulation G. Dialogic believes that presenting non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss allocable to common stockholders is useful to investors, because it describes the operating performance of Dialogic. Dialogic management uses these non-GAAP measures as important indicators of the company’s past performance and in planning and forecasting performance in future periods. Dialogic considers EBITDA, as adjusted, an important measure of its ability to generate cash flows to service debt, fund capital expenditures and fund other corporate investing and financing activities. EBITDA, as adjusted, eliminates the non-cash effect of tangible asset depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation as well as certain nonrecurring expenses. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, pre-tax income, net income and cash flows from operating activities. The non-GAAP financial information Dialogic presents may not be comparable to similarly-titled financial measures used by other companies, and investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or in substitution for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP. You are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures included elsewhere in this press release.

In respect of the foregoing, Dialogic provides the following supplemental information to provide additional context for the use and consideration of the non-GAAP financial measures used elsewhere in this press release:

“EBITDA” is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA plus adjustments for nonrecurring items or


other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA includes EBITDA and also non-cash stock compensation expense, purchase price adjustments resulting from the fair value adjustments of the assets and liabilities of Veraz Networks as of October 1, 2010, acquisition related costs, restructuring expenses and foreign exchange gains (losses). Acquisition costs include investment banker fees, legal expenses, and other fees incurred in connection with the acquisition. Dialogic considers Adjusted EBITDA as a key metric in evaluating its financial performance.

Stock-based compensation: These expenses consist of expenses for employee stock options, restricted stock units and employee stock purchases under ASC 718. Dialogic excludes stock-based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses and are also excluded by our lender in the calculation of EBITDA. As Dialogic applies ASC 718, it believes that it is useful to its investors to understand the impact of the application of ASC 718 to its operational performance, liquidity and its ability to invest in research and development and fund acquisitions and capital expenditures. While stock-based compensation expense calculated in accordance with ASC 718 constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense, such expense is excluded from non-GAAP results because it is not an expense that typically requires or will require cash settlement by Dialogic and because such expense is not used by management to assess the core profitability of our business operations. Dialogic further believes these measures are useful to investors in that they allow for greater transparency to certain line items in our financial statements. In addition, excluding this item from various non-GAAP measures better facilitates comparisons to our competitors’ operating results.
