Symmetricom Reports Second Quarter

Fiscal Year 2012 Financial Results

Solid Quarter-over-Quarter Revenue Momentum

 

   

Net revenue of $58.3 million in fiscal Q2’12

 

   

Non-GAAP net income of $4.2 million, or $0.10 per share

 

   

GAAP net income of $2.4 million, or $0.06 per share

 

   

Free Cash Flow of $5.5 million

SAN JOSE, Calif. — January 25, 2012 — Symmetricom, Inc. (NASDAQ:SYMM), a worldwide leader in precision time and frequency technologies, today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2012 ended January 1, 2012.

Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $58.3 million, up $1.9 million, or 3.4%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012, driven by higher shipments of PackeTimeTM products and continued solid performance overall in our Government and Enterprise business. Symmetricom reported net income of $2.4 million, or $0.06 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to net income of $2.7 million, or $0.06 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $4.2 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to $4.1 million, or $0.10 per share, reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $58.1 million as of January 1, 2012, an increase of $1.1 million from the $57.0 million reported as of October 2, 2011, reflecting strong cash inflows from operations, offset by approximately $4.0 million in stock repurchases during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Net cash generated from operating activities in the second quarter was $6.4 million, due in part to a decrease in inventories. After subtracting approximately $0.9 million of property, plant and equipment purchases, free cash flow was approximately $5.5 million.

“Symmetricom delivered solid performance in the second quarter, with revenue at the high end of our expectations. We see continued momentum in both our Communications and Government and Enterprise businesses, with strong customer demand for our solutions,” said Dave Côté, president and chief executive officer of Symmetricom. “As we execute on our growth initiatives, our revenue streams will become even more diversified by product, customer, and geography. We remain focused on delivering profitable growth and creating long-term value for our shareholders.”

Non-GAAP Information

Certain non-GAAP financial information is included in this press release.

financial results and to establish operational goals. Non-GAAP information should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by or used in operating activities minus purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Management also views it as a measure of cash available to pay debt and return cash to stockholders. Free cash flow is not a GAAP financial measure and should not be considered superior to or a substitute for operating cash flow or other cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
