UTStarcom Reports Unaudited Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2015

HONG KONG, Aug. 14, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UTStarcom (“UTStarcom” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ:UTSI), a global telecommunications infrastructure provider, today reported its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Mr. William Wong, UTStarcom’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased that our results for the second quarter were in line with the expectations we laid out when we announced the recalibration of our go forward strategy in June. We believe this is quite a positive start in our stated effort to focus on more quickly making our business more nimble, efficient and profitable. In particular, although several new products are still in the early stages of their product life cycle, we are delighted that in the second quarter we experienced good momentum with respect to demand for the innovative, high-margin products that we intend to bring to market in key markets such as Japan, the U.S. and emerging countries. We believe this bodes well for us and we expect to see a corresponding positive impact on our financial performance over time.” 

“As we move into the second half of the year, we will remain singularly focused on executing the more aggressive business transformation that we described at the end of the first quarter. As planned, we will continue to streamline our business model and focus on growing only the most profitable broadband products and markets, all to support the most promising assets in our pipeline and to reach the customers who will fully appreciate our offering. At the same time, we will continue to drive down our cost base in order to deliver operating leverage and create a stronger overall foundation for the business. We believe our efforts to strengthen the fundamentals of our business will start to pay off and will ideally position us for future growth.”

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company also provides below non-GAAP financial measures which better reflect the Company’s core business status and the development trend.

Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Second quarter 2015 GAAP financials included revenue recognition totaling $11.8 million related to sales that were subject to the Indian Department of Telecommunications (DoT) agreement. Between 2010 and 2015, sales of $11.8 million were deferred because it was difficult to assess the potential liability in the case of non-compliance with the DoT agreement. This revenue was recognized in the second quarter of 2015 given relaxed regulations as well as a 5-year track record which has allowed the Company to conclude that the potential liability is insignificant and the likelihood of non-compliance of the DoT agreement is low. In the second quarter, this newly recognized revenue had associated gross profit of $6.4 million and tax provision of $2.2 million. The contribution to second quarter net income was $4.2 million, or $0.11 per share.

Total Revenues

Three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2015 were $30.8 million, a decrease of 3.4% from $31.9 million for the corresponding period of 2014.

Total Non-GAAP revenues for the second quarter of 2015 were $16.7 million, a decrease of 47.6% from $31.9 million for the corresponding period of 2014.

  • Non-GAAP net sales from equipment for the second quarter of 2015 were $12.3 million, a decrease of 52.7% from $26.0 million for the corresponding period in 2014. The decrease was mainly due to 1) a strategic reduction of the lower margin TPS sales by more than $9 million in both Japan and India region; and 2) the fact that the Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (“GEPON”) product line has been discontinued after the last $4 million sale taking place in Q2 2014.
     
  • Non-GAAP net sales from equipment-based services for the second quarter of 2015 were $4.4 million, a decrease of 25.4% from $5.9 million for the corresponding period in 2014. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in India service revenue.

Six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Total revenues for the first half of 2015 were $63.7 million, a decrease of 0.8% from $64.2 million for the corresponding period of 2014.

  • Non-GAAP net sales from equipment for the first half of 2015 were $37.3 million, a decrease of 28.0% from $51.8 million for the corresponding period in 2014. The decrease was mainly due to the strategic reduction of sales of value added Third Party Sales (“TPS”) which was partially offset by the increased sales of the Packet Optical Transport (“PTN”) product line.
     
  • Non-GAAP net sales from equipment-based services for the first half of 2015 were $11.8 million, a decrease of 4.8% from $12.4 million for the corresponding period in 2014. The decrease was mainly due to the decline in Multi Service Access Network (“MSAN”) product related service revenues in India which was partially offset by the increased sales of PTN product related services in Japan.

UTStarcom Holdings Corp.
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
               
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, UTStarcom uses certain non-GAAP measures which are adjusted to present those metrics as if stock compensation expenses, one-time India DoT related and China IPTV-related deferred revenue amortization had been excluded in prior years comparatives. We believe this enables year over year comparisons to our recent financial results. These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of UTStarcom’s underlying results and trends. In addition, these adjusted non-GAAP results are among the information 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 results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
