Calix Reports Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results

July 28, 2015

PETALUMA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/28/15 -- Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) today announced unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 27, 2015. Revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $99.1 million, an increase of 1.1% compared to $98.0 million for the second quarter of 2014.

"Our second quarter results were above our guidance, reflecting better than expected overall operating performance," said Carl Russo, Calix President and CEO. "Led by the GigaCenter, which at quarter-end surpassed the 300 service provider customer mark, this performance contributed to revenues in the first half of 2015 increasing 3.5% compared to the first half of 2014. In addition, first half non-GAAP gross margins improved to 50.1% compared to 46.9% in the same period last year," added Russo.

"During the second quarter, Calix announced a number of innovative new product offerings, including our G.fast solutions for multiple dwelling unit and high density single family unit applications, and our new NG-PON2 cards. These introduce the next generation of standards-based fiber access technology into our E-Series portfolio and give our customers the ability to deliver a multi-gigabit experience to their subscribers. These new solutions demonstrate our continued drive towards our Unified Access vision and strengthened our leadership in the broadband access market," added Russo.

The company's non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $3.3 million, or $0.06 per fully diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP net income of $5.1 million, or $0.10 per fully diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014. A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is included as part of this release.

"During the quarter, we returned $3.4 million to shareholders via our previously announced $40 million stock buyback authorization," said William Atkins, Executive Vice President and CFO. "We remain committed to returning capital to shareholders, while at the same time investing in the company to build a strong foundation for future growth," added Atkins.

The GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2015 was $5.8 million, or $(0.11) per basic and diluted share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $4.0 million, or $(0.08) per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014. A reconciliation of our second quarter 2015 operating results from non-GAAP to GAAP is provided below:

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 primarily exclude certain non-cash charges for stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and non-recurring acquisition-related costs, which the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. Acquisition-related costs include legal fees and associated expenses incurred under a pre-existing contract between Occam and its retained advisor in connection with the Occam acquisition. 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.
