Calix Reports Fourth Quarter 2010 Financial Results

PETALUMA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Calix, Inc. (NYSE:CALX) today announced unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010. Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $91.7 million, an increase of 21.5% compared to $75.5 million for the third quarter of 2010, and an increase of 3.8% compared to $88.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2009.

"We are pleased with our strong performance in the fourth quarter, having achieved revenues and margins that were the highest in company history," said Calix president and CEO Carl Russo. "Our business continued to accelerate throughout Q4, with a growing number of new customer wins, Broadband Stimulus vendor selections, as well as wide adoption of our new platforms."

Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $10.7 million, or $0.26 per fully diluted share, an increase of 83.8% compared to non-GAAP net income of $5.8 million, or $0.15 per fully diluted share, for the third quarter of 2010, and an increase of 54.5% compared to non-GAAP net income of $6.9 million, or $0.21 per fully diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net income excludes non-cash items of stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, non-cash and non-recurring changes in the fair market value of preferred stock warrants and preferred stock dividends, and non-recurring acquisition-related costs.

GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $0.7 million, or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $5.4 million, or $(0.14) per basic and diluted share for the third quarter of 2010, and compared to a GAAP net income of $2.1 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share reported for the fourth quarter of 2009 assuming the conversion of preferred stock into common stock as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2009. A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is included as part of this release.

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 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 exclude certain non-cash charges and non-recurring 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 these results. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to the most directly comparable GAAP results is provided in the financial schedules portion of 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.

The Company makes adjustments for the following items in analyzing its operating results as it does not consider these items to part of the Company's ongoing operating activities or meaningful in evaluating the Company's financial performance:

Stock-based Compensation

A non-cash expense incurred in accordance with SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

A non-cash expense resulting from intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of Optical Solutions, Inc. (OSI) in February 2006. The Company is required to amortize these assets over their expected useful lives.

Change in Fair Value of Preferred Stock Warrants

A non-cash expense or benefit resulting from the revaluation of the Company's preferred stock warrant liability. Upon completion of the Company's initial public offering, the preferred warrant liability was reclassified as a component of stockholders' equity, and the Company is no longer required to revalue the warrants.

Preferred Stock Dividends

Preferred stock dividends represent Series I preferred stock dividends paid to the Company's Series I shareholders prior to the conversion of preferred stock in connection with the Company's initial public offering.

Acquisition-related Costs

Acquisition-related costs represent legal and professional services associated with our intended merger with Occam Networks Inc.
