Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 24, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Tellabs, Inc. granted to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice Presidents performance stock units (“PSUs”) under the Company’s 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan. The PSUs entitle the recipients to receive shares of the Company’s Common Stock commencing in March 2008, contingent upon the achievement of Company operating income and revenue-based targets for the 2007 fiscal year. Following achievement of these financial measures and subject to continued employment, one-third of such shares will be issued in annual installments in March 2008, March 2009 and March 2010.

In order for shares of the Company’s stock to become available for issuance under these PSUs, the Company’s operating income and revenue for 2007 must meet specified minimum target amounts. No stock will be issued and the PSUs will be canceled and forfeited should the Company fail to meet such minimum amounts. The number of shares of stock issuable will vary depending on the target amounts achieved. If the target amounts are achieved then one share of stock will be issued for each PSU granted, subject to the three year vesting period discussed above. At minimum target performance  1/2 share will be issued for each PSU granted and at maximum target performance two shares will be granted for each PSU granted.

Any stock issued under the PSUs will be issued in equal annual installments on March 2008, March 2009 and March 2010, provided that the executive remains continuously employed through such dates. Payment of a pro rated award may be made if employment terminates prior to such issuance due to death, disability or involuntarily for reasons other than cause (as defined in the award documentation).

A total of 375,000 PSUs were awarded to the following executive officers: Krish Prabhu, Chief Executive Officer, 100,000; Timothy Wiggins, Chief Financial Officer, 50,000; Carl DeWilde, Stephen McCarthy and Daniel Kelly, Executive Vice Presidents, 40,000 each; and James Sheehan, Jean Holley and John Brots, Executive Vice Presidents, 35,000 each.

 

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On July 24, 2007, Tellabs, Inc. reported its results of operations for its fiscal second quarter ended June 29, 2007. A copy of the press release issued by Tellabs, Inc. concerning the foregoing results is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

The information contained in this Item 2.02 and related information in the accompanying Exhibit 99.1 shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of Tellabs, Inc., whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference to such filing. The information in this Item 2.02, including related information in Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Tellabs, Inc. provides non-GAAP results of operations in the press release 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 results of operations eliminate certain items of


expenses and losses from cost of revenue, operating expenses, other income and expenses and income taxes. The Company’s management believes that this presentation allows investors to evaluate the current operational and financial performance of the Company’s 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. The Company’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 results of operations, 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.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

The Board of Directors of the Company has amended and restated its bylaws in order to amend Article VII of the Company’s existing Amended and Restated Bylaws, effective as of July 24, 2007. The Company determined that a modification was advisable in order to make it clear that the Company may issue uncertificated shares. This change allows the Company to participate in the Direct Registration System, which is currently administered by The Depository Trust Company.

The full text of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Form 8-K.

Section 2.3 Place of Meeting. Meetings of stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by the Board of Directors and designated in the call and notice or waiver of notice of such meeting; provided, that a waiver of notice signed by all stockholders may designate any time or place as the time and place for the holding of such meeting. If no designation is made, the place of meeting shall be at the Corporation’s principal place of business.

Section 2.4 Notice of Meeting. Written notice stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, or, in the case of a merger, consolidation or sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s property and assets, at least twenty days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President or the Secretary to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.

Section 2.5 Fixing Record Date for Determination of Stockholders. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of stockholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, such date to be not more than sixty days prior to the date of a meeting of stockholders, the date of payment of a dividend or the date on which other action requiring determination of stockholders is to be taken, as the case may be.

Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list of the stockholders, the corporate books, or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders.

Section 2.7 Quorum and Manner of Acting. Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, as may be amended or restated from time to time (hereinafter the “Certificate of Incorporation”), or these By-laws, a majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote on a matter present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum for consideration of such matter at any meeting of stockholders; provided, that if less than a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on a matter are present in person or represented by proxy at said meeting, a majority of the shares so present in person or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice other than announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken of the time and place of the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Certificate of Incorporation, as may be amended or restated from time to time, or these By-laws.

Each such report shall be in writing and signed by at least a majority of the inspectors, the report of a majority being the report of the inspectors, and such reports shall be prima facie evidence of the number of shares represented at the meeting and the result of a vote of the stockholders.

Section 3.11 Removal. Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, but only for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of (i) the holders of at least 75% of the voting power of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, voting together as a single class, or (ii) a majority of the Board of Directors.

Whenever the holders of any class or series of capital stock are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the provisions of this Section shall apply, in respect to the removal for cause of a director or directors so elected, to the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of that class or series and not to the vote of the outstanding shares as a whole.

Section 3.12 Compensation. The Board of Directors, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office and irrespective of any personal interest of any of its members, shall have the authority to establish reasonable compensation of directors for services to the Corporation as directors, officers or otherwise.

Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action.

Section 3.14 Interested Directors.

(a) No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if:

(1) The material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or

ARTICLE XII

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS

Section 12.1 Nature of Indemnity. Each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation as provided in this Article and to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so

 

8


by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding), and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 12.2 hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall be a contract right and, subject to Sections 12.2 and 12.5 hereof, shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, to the extent that any director or officer, or employee or agent at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation pursuant to Section 12.7 of this Article, is by reason of such person’s position with the Corporation a witness in any proceeding, such person shall be indemnified against all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him on his behalf in connection therewith.

Section 12.2 Procedure for Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Any indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation under Section 12.1 of this Article or advance of expenses under Section 12.5 of this Article shall be made promptly, and in any event within 30 days, upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination is made by the Corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article is required, and the Corporation fails to respond within 60 days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within 30 days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 12.3 Article Not Exclusive. The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 12.4 Survival of Rights. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article 12 or of any provision hereof shall be effective as to any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, with respect to any action taken or omitted by such person in such position prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. The provisions of the Article 12 shall continue as to any such person after his or her service in such position has ceased and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

Section 12.5 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Corporation or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article or under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The Corporation shall not be liable under this Article to make any payments of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that such indemnified person hereunder has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

Section 12.6 Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any person described in Section 12.1 of this Article in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or Officer to

 

9


repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

Section 12.7 Employees and Agents. Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article and who are or were employees or agents of the Corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the Corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Section 12.8 Contract Rights. The provisions of this Article shall be deemed to be a contract right between the Corporation and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or proceeding then existing.

Section 12.9 Merger or Consolidation. For Purposes of this Article, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, or fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

Section 12.10 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Article containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Article containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

Section 12.11 Certain Persons Not Entitled to Indemnification or Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, no person shall be entitled to indemnification or advancement of any costs, expenses or the like under this Article with respect to any proceeding, or any claim therein, brought or made by such person against the Corporation.

Section 12.12 Notices. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given to the Corporation under this Article shall be in writing and either delivered in person or sent by facsimile or certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Secretary of the Corporation and shall be effective only upon receipt by the Secretary.

ARTICLE XIII

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the second quarter of 2007, our revenue was $534.5 million, down 2.7% from $549.3 million in the second quarter of 2006. Year-to-date, revenue was $986.4 million, down 7.3% from $1,064.0 million in 2006. Consolidated gross margin decreased by 11.2 percentage points to 35.1% in the second quarter compared with 46.3% in the second quarter of 2006. On a six-month basis, consolidated gross margin was down 8.8 percentage points to 37.9% from 46.7% in 2006. Operating expenses were $160.1 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared with $174.3 million in the second quarter of 2006. For the first half of 2007, operating expenses were $322.6 million, down from $347.3 million in 2006. Net earnings for the second quarter of 2007 were $29.6 million or $0.07 per share (basic and diluted) compared with $53.5 million or $0.12 per share (basic and diluted) in the same period of 2006. Net earnings for the six-month period in 2007 were $55.1 million or $0.13 per basic share and $0.12 per diluted share compared with $105.9 million or $0.24 per basic share and $0.23 per diluted share for the first six months in 2006.

In 2007, product revenue declined 6.3% in the second quarter and 9.8% on a six-month basis compared with 2006. The decrease was primarily due to reduced product revenue from a major customer and from copper-based access platforms, which was partially offset by revenue from the rollout of our Tellabs® 7100 OTS with ROADM product in our Transport segment.

In 2007, services revenue increased by 34.5% in the second quarter and by 20.3% on a six-month basis compared with the same periods in 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue from deployment services and product-support services.

On a geographic basis, revenue from customers in North America was $413.2 million in the second quarter of 2007, down 2.8% from a year ago. Revenue from customers outside North America was $121.3 million in the second quarter of 2007, down 2.4% from a year ago. On a six-month basis, North America revenue was $754.6 million, down 9.8% from a year ago. Revenue from customers outside North America was $231.8 million, down 2.0% from a year ago.

In 2007, our products margin decreased in the second quarter and for the first six months compared with the same periods in 2006. The decrease was due to a product mix shift toward products such as our Tellabs® 7100 OTS with ROADM and ONT products, as well as lower prices on our ONTs.

Our services margin increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 compared with 2006, due to an increase in higher margin support services revenue.

For the first six months of 2007, operating expenses decreased by $24.7 million to $322.6 million compared with the same period in 2006. The reduction in our operating expenses for the quarter and six months is primarily due to actively controlling expenses and reduced accruals for incentive compensation plans.

Interest income, net, was higher in the second quarter and the first six months of 2007, compared with 2006 due to larger invested balances. Other income (expense), net, improved in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2007 compared with the same periods in 2006 due to more favorable results from foreign exchange and investments. In the second quarter of 2006, we incurred a loss of $3.3 million for foreign exchange activities and a loss of $4.6 million for an other-than-temporary impairment to long-term investments.


Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 28.1% for the second quarter of 2007 and for the first half of 2007, compared with a rate of 36.3% in the second quarter of 2006 and 35.9% for the first six months of 2006. The rate change was primarily attributable to the inclusion of a benefit for U.S. research and development credits in the current year, and a benefit related to earning a greater percentage of our overall pretax income from foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at lower rates.

We adopted the provisions of FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on December 30, 2006. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 30, 2006, as determined under FIN 48, was $76.5 million. Although we cannot estimate with reasonable reliability the periods of cash settlement, we expect that resolution of tax issues related to $12 million to $14 million of unrecognized tax benefits could be reached in the next 12 months; resolution of tax issues with respect to approximately $48 million could be reached in the next 18 to 24 months. We are not able to estimate with reasonable reliability the period of cash settlement with respect to the remaining balance of $14.5 million to $16.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits, as such settlement will depend on examination of returns by various jurisdictions, the precise amounts and timing of which are uncertain.

Broadband

Revenue

Revenue from our Broadband segment was $246.4 million in the second quarter of 2007, down $52.0 million from the prior-year quarter. For the first six months, revenue from our Broadband segment was $465.1 million, down $93.0 million from the first six months of 2006. While our access and managed access revenue decreased for both time-period comparisons, our data product revenue increased.


Second quarter access revenue decreased to $134.6 million in 2007 from $189.8 million in 2006. On a six-month basis, access revenue decreased to $255.8 million in 2007 from $353.9 million in 2006. Revenue was lower in both time periods due to lower revenue from independent operating companies for copper-based platforms, lower prices on single-family ONTs and lower revenue from Fiber-to-the-Curb platforms. Revenue from ONTs was lower due to price reductions despite increased unit volume. Approximately 68% of access revenue came from fiber-based platforms, with the balance coming from copper-based platforms.

Managed access revenue declined to $77.1 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $86.3 million in the same quarter of 2006. For the first six months of 2007, managed access revenue declined to $145.8 million from $160.0 million in the first six months of 2006. An increase in revenue from the Tellabs 8100 system was offset by reduced SDH-transport and cable telephony product revenue.

Data product revenue was $34.7 million in the second quarter of 2007, up 55.6% from the year-ago quarter. Data product revenue was $63.5 million for the first six months of 2007, up 43.7% compared with the first six months of 2006. Revenue from existing customers and new customers drove our data products revenue growth.

Segment Profit (Loss)

Our Broadband segment produced a loss of $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared with a profit of $38.1 million in the second quarter of 2006. The decrease in the quarter resulted from lower revenue, lower prices on our single-family ONTs and a shift in our product mix toward lower-margin products. For the first six months of 2007, our Broadband segment produced a loss of $15.6 million, down $75.1 million from a profit of $59.5 million in the comparable period of 2006. The decrease for the first six months was primarily due to higher volumes on our single-family ONTs and lower overall revenue.

Transport

Revenue

Revenue from our Transport segment was $222.6 million in the second quarter of 2007, up $20.4 million from the second quarter of 2006. The increase in revenue was due to a rollout of our Tellabs® 7100 OTS with ROADM product to a major customer, which was partially offset by a decline in revenue from another major customer. On a six-month basis, transport revenue was $413.9 million, down by $2.7 million from the same period in 2006. The decrease was due to a decline in revenue from a major customer, which was offset by revenue from a rollout of our Tellabs® 7100 OTS with ROADM product.

During the second quarter of 2007, approximately 36% of the Tellabs® 5500 wideband cross-connect product revenue came from new systems, system expansions and system upgrades. The balance of these percentages consisted of port-card growth on the installed base. We shipped approximately 1.9 million T-1 equivalents during the second quarter of 2007 and approximately 4.3 million in the first six months of 2007, continuing to build our position in the North American transport market.

Segment Profit

Our Transport segment profit was $81.0 million in the second quarter of 2007, down $31.1 million from the second quarter of 2006. Our segment profit for the first six months was $191.9 million, down from $234.9 million for the first six months of 2006. The decreases for the quarter and the first six months were due to a shift in the mix of transport revenue, which includes greater revenue from our Tellabs® 7100 OTS with ROADM product at essentially a breakeven level and lower revenue from our Tellabs® 5500 wideband cross-connect.

Services

Revenue

Revenue from our Services segment grew by $16.8 million to $65.5 million for the second quarter of 2007, compared with $48.7 million in the second quarter of 2006. On a six-month basis, revenue from our Services segment was $107.4 million in 2007, up $18.1 million from the first six months of 2006. During both time periods, our revenue increased primarily from deployment services and product-support services.


Segment Profit

Our Services segment profit was $26.4 million for the second quarter of 2007, up $7.1 million from the second quarter of 2006. For the first six months, Services segment profit was $36.3 million in 2007, compared with $30.6 million in 2006. While our service margins slightly improved, revenue growth drove segment profitability for the quarter and six-month periods.

Financial Condition, Liquidity & Capital Resources

Our principal source of liquidity remained our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $1,319.0 million as of the end of the second quarter of 2007, which increased by $17.3 million during the quarter and $18.9 million since year-end 2006. The increase in the second quarter was driven by cash from operating activities of $32.3 million, partially offset by cash used for purchasing capital equipment. The year-to-date increase reflects an increase of cash from operating activities of $59.8 million.

During the second quarter of 2007, we repurchased 0.9 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $10.0 million. On a year-to-date basis, we repurchased 3.3 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $35.2 million.

Tellabs’ Board of Directors and management are assessing our stock repurchase programs. We provide no assurance that we will continue or change our repurchase activity, and we cannot estimate the timing of any such change or the impact on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

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 available sources of working capital include 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 continuing to expand our business and support our operating activities. We may also utilize our funds for the repurchase of our common stock. 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 following schedule disclosing the adjustments made to the above non-GAAP statements of income.
