~ Building Momentum with Cable Operators ~

 

PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb.9 — Vyyo Inc. (Nasdaq: VYYO), a global supplier of broadband end-to-end solutions for telephony and high-speed data connections, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2004.

 

For the fourth quarter of 2004, Vyyo reported sales of $0.6 million, compared to $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2003. Loss for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $8.5 million or $0.57 per share, compared to a loss of $3.8 million, or $0.29 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2003. Loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $8.6 million, or $0.57 per share, compared to $4.0 million, or $0.31 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2003. As of December 31, 2004, Vyyo had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $42.2 million.

 

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2004, sales were $6.1 million, compared to $6.1 million reported for the same period of 2003. Loss for the 12 months ended December 31, 2004 was $21.1 million, including a charge of $1.4 million from the acquisition of research and development in process and a third quarter $1.2 million payment to an employee of Vyyo’s subsidiary, Xtend Networks Ltd., pursuant to the Xtend acquisition agreement, or $1.51 per share. This compared to a loss of $15.7 million, or $1.24 per share, for the same period of 2003. Loss from continuing operations for the 12 months ended December 31, 2004 was $21.2 million, including a charge of $1.4 million from the acquisition of research and development in process and the $1.2 million payment to the Xtend employee, or $1.52 per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $9.1 million, or $0.72 per share, for the same period of 2003.

 

“Within the quarter we observed an increased level of interest in technology alternatives that economically maximize the last-mile capacity of cable operators’ HFC networks. This interest was demonstrated by our reaching our first milestone achievement in our cable strategy — a commercial purchase order for our Xtend T-1 over HFC solution from a top 5 cable operator,” stated Davidi Gilo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vyyo. “Our Xtend solutions, which enable voice-grade T-1 service and bandwidth expansion from the existing 860 MHz to 3 GHz, allow the cable industry to enhance their networks gracefully without requiring a network upgrade.”

Safe Harbor Statement

 

Statements made in this press release relating to the future, including those related to the potential for Xtend’s systems to enable (1) voice-grade T-1 service and bandwidth expansion from the existing 860 MHz to 3 GHz; and (2) the cable industry to enhance their networks without a network upgrade, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the current limited visibility available in the telecommunications and broadband access equipment markets; whether Xtend will be able to move from the development stage to deployment and establish commercial relationships with the cable system operators; whether the cable industry will be willing and able to substantially increase the available bandwidth on their networks and do so using Xtend’s alternative technology solution; and other risks set forth in Vyyo’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2004, and in other periodic reports filed by Vyyo with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Vyyo assumes no duty to update these statements.
