Tellabs revenue rises 13% as earnings grow 41% in third quarter

Naperville, Ill. — Tellabs today reported third-quarter 2006 revenue of $523 million, up 13% from $464 million in the third quarter of 2005.

On a GAAP basis, Tellabs earned $59 million or 13 cents per share in the third quarter of 2006, up 41% from $42 million or 9 cents per share in the third quarter of 2005.

On a non-GAAP basis, Tellabs earned $73 million or 16 cents per share, up from $68 million or 15 cents a share in the third quarter of 2005. Non-GAAP results exclude pretax charges of $17.4 million for special items, including $9.5 million or 1.3 cents per share in equity-based compensation expense.

“We believe that telecom service providers are in the early stages of network transformations driven by new mobile and consumer triple-play services,” said Krish A. Prabhu, Tellabs president and chief executive officer. “Tellabs is well-positioned in faster-growing markets as service providers advance their networks.”

Within the broadband segment, access revenue fell 3% to $161 million from $166 million in the third quarter of 2005. Managed access revenue fell 5% to $80 million from $84 million a year ago. Data revenue more than doubled to $32 million from $14 million in the third quarter of 2005.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the third quarter of 2006, our revenue grew 12.6% to $522.5 million compared with the third quarter of 2005. Year-to-date revenue for 2006 increased by 16.5% to $1,586.5 million with all three segments contributing to the increase. Consolidated margin increased to 48.6% in the third quarter compared with 46.9% in the third quarter of 2005, with both products and services margins improving. On a nine-month basis, consolidated margin were up 2.7 percentage points to 47.3%. Operating expenses increased by $7.4 million over the third quarter of 2005 and $12.1 million over the first nine months of 2005. Net earnings for the quarter were $59.1 million or $0.13 per share (basic and diluted) compared with $41.9 million or $0.09 per share (basic and diluted) in the same period of 2005. Net earnings for the nine-month period were $165.0 million or $0.37 per basic and $0.36 per diluted share, compared with $83.7 million or $0.19 per basic and $0.18 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2005.

At the beginning of 2006, we adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method; therefore we did not restate prior periods. Related to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the third quarter of 2006 includes $7.7 million of stock option expense and the first nine months of 2006 includes $29.8 million. No stock option expense is included in the 2005 results.

Total operating expenses increased in the third quarter by $7.4 million and on a nine-month basis by $12.1 million, due primarily to the inclusion of stock option expense and slightly higher spending in general and administrative and research and development. These increases were offset by lower restructuring charges and intangible asset amortization.

Interest income, net increased in the third quarter and on a nine-month basis due to larger invested balances and higher interest rates. Other income (expense), net included charges for other-than-temporary impairments on long-term investments of $1.5 million in the third quarter and $6.1 million in the first nine months of 2006. Comparatively, these charges were $0.4 million in the third quarter and $4.2 million in the first nine months of 2005.


Income Taxes

We recorded an increase in income tax expense due to higher income earned from both domestic and foreign operations, the impact from non-deductible expenses, and a valuation allowance established against the tax benefit of a capital loss. In addition, during 2005 our tax expense was favorably impacted by the release of valuation allowances maintained against deferred tax assets resulting from the utilization of domestic net operating loss carry forwards.

* We define segment profit as gross profit less research and development expense.

Broadband

Revenue

Revenue from the Broadband segment increased $8.9 million to $273.0 million in the third quarter of 2006, and by $91.1 million to $831.1 million on a nine-month basis. Within this segment, access revenue decreased in the third quarter by $4.6 million to $161.1 million due to lower fiber-based access revenue. In the third quarter, approximately 56% of total access product revenue was fiber-based with the balance consisting of copper-based. On a nine-month basis, access revenue increased by $78.0 million to $515.0 million as continued rollouts of fiber-access solutions provided the growth. Revenue from the managed access product category declined to $80.0 million in the third quarter and on a nine-month basis to $240.0 million due to reduced shipments of our managed access and cable telephony products. Revenue from data products grew to $31.9 million in the third quarter and on a nine-month basis to $76.1 million on the strength of a growing customer base worldwide.

Segment Profit

For the third quarter of 2006, our Broadband segment profit decreased to $41.4 million from $48.8 million in the third quarter of 2005 primarily due to charges for excess and obsolete inventory. In the first nine months of 2006, Broadband segment profit increased to $100.9 million from $94.7 million a year ago due to improved product costs which are partially offset by higher research and development expenses.


Transport

Revenue

Third-quarter revenue from the Transport segment increased $47.0 million to $203.1 million in 2006 and by $120.9 million to $619.7 million in the first nine months of 2006. Revenue from Tellabs® 5500 wideband cross-connect products grew significantly, driven by demand from wireless customers as they continued to enhance and build out their networks for 3G capabilities. Approximately 36% of third quarter revenue from Tellabs® 5500 wideband cross-connect products came from new systems, system expansions and software upgrades, which we believe indicates that our customers continue to invest in this platform. The remaining 64% consisted of port-card equipment growth on the installed base compared with approximately 80% in the third quarter of 2005. We shipped approximately 2.8 million T-1 equivalents during the third quarter of 2006 compared with 1.7 million T-1 equivalents in the third quarter of 2005.

Segment Profit

For the third quarter of 2006, our Transport segment profit increased by 44.8% to $110.2 million and by 49.8% to $345.1 million in the first nine months over the comparable periods in 2005. The increase is due to higher revenue and improved margins from the Tellabs® 5500 systems, slightly offset by higher research and development expense.

Services

Revenue

Revenue from the Services segment increased $2.7 million to $46.4 million in the third quarter of 2006 and by $12.5 million to $135.7 million in the first nine months of 2006. The improvement reflects an increase in revenue from support agreements and professional services.

Segment Profit

Services segment profit increased by 67.6% or $7.1 million to $17.6 million in the third quarter of 2006 and by 45.2% or $15.0 million to $48.2 million in the first nine months of 2006. The increase in segment profit was driven largely by the increase in higher margin support agreements and professional services revenue.

Financial Condition, Liquidity & Capital Resources

Our principal source of liquidity remained our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $1,231.0 million, which increased by $13.5 million during the quarter and $41.3 million since year-end. The increase in the third quarter was driven by cash from operating activities of $85.7 million, while the year-to-date increase reflects an increase of cash from operating activities of $202.6 million. During the third quarter of 2006, we repurchased 7.6 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $76.3 million and on a year-to-date basis, we repurchased 18.4 million shares at a cost of $233.1 million.

We believe that the current level of working capital, particularly cash and marketable securities, is sufficient to meet our normal operating requirements for the foreseeable future. Further, we believe that sufficient resources exist to support our future growth and strategic needs. Future sources of working capital may be from cash-on-hand, cash generated from future operations, short-term or long-term financing, equity offerings or any combination of these sources.

Our current policy is to retain our earnings to provide funds to enhance stockholder value by expanding our business, repurchasing our common stock and for operating activities. We do not anticipate paying a cash dividend in the foreseeable future.

(1) In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Tellabs, Inc. provides non-GAAP statements of income as additional information for its operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be different from measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP statements of income eliminate certain items of expenses and losses from cost of revenue, operating expenses and other income. The Company’s management believes that this presentation allows investors to evaluate the current operational and financial performance of the Company’s core business as an indicator of future operational and financial performance. The Company’s management uses these measures for reviewing its financial results and for business planning and performance. Tellabs, Inc.’s management discloses this information externally along with a complete reconciliation of their comparable GAAP amounts, to provide access to the detail and general nature of adjustments made to GAAP financial results. Furthermore, while some of these items have been periodically reported in Tellabs, Inc.’s statements of income, including significant restructuring and other charges, their occurrence in future periods is dependent upon future business and economic factors, among other evaluation criteria, and may frequently be beyond the control of management.

See the attached schedule disclosing the adjustments made to the above non-GAAP statements of income.
