Calix Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

August 8, 2017

PETALUMA, Calif., Aug. 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Calix, Inc. (NYSE:CALX) today announced unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended July 1, 2017. Revenue for the second quarter of 2017 was a record $126.1 million, an increase of 17.4% compared to $107.4 million for the second quarter of 2016.

“Continued customer investments in broadband access led to record second quarter revenue, increasing by more than 17% compared to the year ago period and exceeding our expectations,” said Carl Russo, Calix, Inc. President and CEO. “Our transformation continues as we continue to experience strong demand for our AXOS platform which for the 9th consecutive quarter achieved double-digit growth in new customer adoption. We continue to transform our services business, which experienced higher than expected costs associated with previously-awarded turnkey network improvement projects. This led to the lower than expected earnings and we will sharpen our focus on driving increased efficiencies in our services business,” added Russo.

The GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2017 was $19.0 million, or $(0.38) per basic and fully diluted share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $5.8 million, or $(0.12) per basic and fully diluted share, for the second quarter of 2016.

“The higher costs associated with previously-awarded projects in our services business are expected to persist over the near-term as activity levels remain elevated to close out these previously-awarded projects and meet customer requirements,” said Cory Sindelar, Calix, Inc. Interim CFO. “With our increased traction in the market, we remain committed to investing in our next generation technologies led by AXOS and Calix Cloud,” added Sindelar.

The Company’s non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2017 was $15.3 million, or $(0.30) per fully diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $2.0 million, or $(0.04) per fully diluted share, for the second quarter of 2016. Reconciliations of our operating results and loss per share from GAAP to non-GAAP are provided in this release.

Outlook

Calix is providing forward-looking estimates for third quarter and full year 2017 results as follows:

Third quarter 2017

Revenue $126.0 - $130.0 million, representing growth of 4.0% - 7.3% year-over-year
Non-GAAP Gross Margin 36.0% - 39.0%
Non-GAAP Operating Expense $59.0 - $61.0 million
Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share           ($0.27) - ($0.21)

Full year 2017

The Company is reiterating its prior guidance for full year 2017 revenue guidance projecting revenue growth of 10% or more relative to 2016. Full-year 2017 Non-GAAP earnings guidance is revised, and the Company now expects to report lower 2017 Non-GAAP earnings relative to 2016.

The Company estimates that GAAP EPS will be approximately $0.08 lower for third quarter of 2017 and approximately $0.40 lower for full year 2017 due to the inclusion of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and restructuring charges. A reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP outlook is provided in this release.

Restructuring Plan

In March 2017, the Company adopted a restructuring plan that seeks to realign the Company’s business to increase its focus towards its investments in innovative Software Defined Access systems and software, while reducing its cost structure in the traditional systems business. The Company has recognized restructuring charges of approximately $1.7 million for the six months ended July 1, 2017, consisting primarily of severance and other one-time termination benefits. Throughout the remainder of 2017, the Company intends to take further actions under this plan and expects to incur total pretax charges of up to $6.8 million for the full year related to this plan. These actions are anticipated to result in annualized cost savings approximately equal to the total charges incurred. The Company expects to see cost reduction benefits as a result of these charges starting in fiscal 2018.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements made in this press release and the earnings call referencing the press release that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to the “safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements relate to, but are not limited to, statements about potential customer or market opportunities, opportunities with existing and prospective customers, estimates and planned cost savings related to its restructuring plan and future financial performance (including the outlook for third quarter of fiscal 2017 and full year of 2017). Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations, including but not limited to fluctuations in the Company’s financial and operating results, the capital spending decisions of its customers, changes in regulations and/or government sponsored programs, competition, its ability to achieve market acceptance of new products and solutions, its ability to grow its customer base, fluctuations in costs associated with its products and services including higher costs due to project delays and changes, cost overruns and other unanticipated factors, as well as the risks and uncertainties described in its annual reports on Form 10-K and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, each as filed with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov, particularly in the sections titled “Risk Factors.” Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made and are based on information available to the Company at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events. Calix assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual performance or results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release to supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted income (loss) per share. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance the reader’s understanding of the Company’s operating performance as they primarily exclude certain non-cash charges for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, restructuring charges and acquisition-related costs, which the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures used in this press release provide investors with important perspectives into the Company’s ongoing business performance and management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate financial results and to establish operational goals. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures is not meant to be a substitute for results presented in accordance with GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with those GAAP results. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to the most directly comparable GAAP results is provided in this press release. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
