Polycom Reports Q1 2012 Earnings

Q1 Revenue Growth of 7 Percent Year-over-Year to $367 Million

Year-over-Year Revenue Growth Across All Geographies and Product Lines

PLEASANTON, Calif. – April 18, 2012 – Polycom, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCM), the global leader in open standards-based unified communications (UC), today reported its earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

First quarter 2012 consolidated net revenues were $367 million, compared to $344 million for the first quarter of 2011. GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $15 million, or 8 cents per diluted share, compared to $34 million, or 19 cents per diluted share, for the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $40 million, or 22 cents per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $43 million, or 24 cents per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2011. Note that the share and per share data for all periods presented in this release have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split that was effective July 1, 2011.

The reconciliation between GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income is provided in the tables at the end of this release.

“In Q1, we fell short of our original expectations and are taking corrective actions designed to improve our future performance. We believe that the overall UC market remains robust and that our strategy of providing the leading open, standards-based unified communications and video collaboration solutions is being embraced by our customers and our nearly 7,000 partners,” said Andrew Miller, Polycom President and CEO.

“Our performance across theaters was mixed and we are adjusting our expense profile accordingly, with an emphasis on sales enablement and bringing innovative and industry leading solutions to market,” said Eric Brown, Polycom’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. “We continue to grow, and we generated $286 million in operating cash flow on a trailing 12 month basis, which represents more than 50 percent growth year over year.”

On a geographic basis, consolidated net revenues for the first quarter of 2012 were comprised of:

 

   

49 percent Americas, or $179 million, an increase of 2 percent year-over-year;


   

27 percent Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), or $100 million, an increase of 16 percent year-over-year; and

 

   

24 percent Asia Pacific, or $88 million, an increase of 7 percent year-over-year.

By product line, inclusive of its service component, consolidated net revenues for the first quarter of 2012 were comprised of:

Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding future events, future demand for our products, and the future performance of the Company, including statements regarding the UC market as remaining robust, our strategy of offering open, standards-based UC and video collaboration solutions as being embraced by our customers and partners, continued growth, estimated product release dates, and estimates relating to Polycom’s second quarter 2012 guidance under the heading “Business Outlook as of April 16, 2012.” These forward-looking statements are preliminary estimates and expectations based on current information and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially, including the impact of competition on our product sales and for our customers and partners; the impact of increased competition due to consolidation in our industry or competition from companies that are larger or that have greater resources than we do; potential fluctuations in results and future growth rates; risks associated with general economic conditions and external market factors; the market acceptance of our products and changing market demands, including demands for differing technologies or product and services offerings; our ability to successfully integrate our acquisitions into our business; possible delays in the development, availability and shipment of new products; increasing costs and differing uses of capital; changes in key personnel that may cause disruption to the business; any disruptive impact to us that may result from new executive hires; continuing disruption to the business due to the realignment of the North America sales organization; our inability to achieve the expected results from adjustments being made to our expense profile; the impact of restructuring actions; and the impact of global conflicts that may adversely impact our business. Many of these risks and uncertainties are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and in other reports filed by Polycom with the SEC. Polycom disclaims any intent or obligations to update these forward-looking statements.


Polycom reserves the right to modify future product plans at any time. Products and/or related specifications referenced in this press release are not guaranteed and will be delivered on a when and if available basis.

GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliation

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Polycom uses non-GAAP measures of operating results, net income and income per share, which are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains, and losses we believe appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our current period GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of Polycom’s underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace performance. For example, the non-GAAP results are an indication of our baseline performance before gains, losses, or other charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. In addition, these adjusted non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or diluted net income per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
