Item 2.02. | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
Harmonic Inc. (the “Company”) has previously announced that it will be presenting at Needham & Company’s 18th Annual Growth Conference in New York City on Thursday, January 14, 2016. The presentation, which is available on the Company’s website at www.harmonicinc.com under “About Us - Investor Relations”, includes the financial information set forth below relating to the Company’s fourth quarter of 2015.
The Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the fourth quarter of 2015 have not been finalized and are not available. Based on the information that is currently available to the Company, it has prepared the following preliminary estimated financial information for the fourth quarter of 2015:
▪ | bookings of $101 million; |
▪ | net revenue in the range of $84 million to $85 million; |
▪ | gross margin in the range of 54% to 55%; |
▪ | GAAP net loss per share in the range of ($0.08) to ($0.09); and |
▪ | non-GAAP net income (loss) per share in the range of ($0.01) to $0.00. |
See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” below.
The preliminary estimated financial information for the fourth quarter of 2015 set forth in this Current Report is subject to the completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures. The Company currently expect that its final results of operations will be consistent with the estimates set forth above, but such estimates are preliminary and the Company’s actual results of operations could differ materially from these estimates due to the completion of its financial closing procedures, final adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time the Company’s financial statements for the quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 are issued. The Company will release its unaudited fourth quarter and fiscal year 2015 financial results in mid-February 2016. The Company will also host a conference call on the release date to discuss the financial results and its outlook for the first quarter of 2016 and 2016 financial goals, including anticipated synergies from its previously announced pending acquisition of Thomson Video Networks ("TVN"), which the Company anticipates will close during the first quarter of 2016.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In establishing operating budgets, managing its business performance, and setting internal measurement targets, the Company excludes a number of items required by GAAP. Company management believes that these accounting charges and credits, most of which are non-cash or non-recurring in nature, are not useful in managing its operations and business. Historically, the Company has also publicly presented these supplemental non-GAAP measures in order to assist the investment community to see the Company “through the eyes of management,” and thereby enhance understanding of its operating performance. The non-GAAP measure presented in this Current Report is net income (loss) per share. The presentation of non-GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP results published by other companies. A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this Current Report to the most directly comparable historical GAAP financial measures is included below. The non-GAAP adjustments described below have historically been excluded from the Company’s GAAP financial measures. These adjustments are restructuring and related charges, impairment of long-term investment, TVN acquisition costs and non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, non-cash interest expense related to the Company's convertible debt and adjustments that normalize the tax rate. The effects of stock-based compensation expense specific to common stock options are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in the Company’s stock price. The Company expects the variability of the above charges to have a significant impact on its GAAP financial results.
