C-COR REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR FOURTH QUARTER

AND FISCAL YEAR 2003

 

Fourth Quarter Results Reflect the Effect of Cost Reduction Initiatives

 

State College, PA (August 21, 2003) – C-COR.net Corp. (Nasdaq: CCBL), a global provider of broadband communications products, software systems, and services, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2003, ended June 27, 2003. Management will discuss C-COR’s financial results on a conference call today at 9:45 AM (ET). For information on how to access the conference call, refer to C-COR’s news release dated July 30, 2003 (posted on the C-COR web site at www.c-cor.net), or contact Investor Relations at 814-231-4438.

 

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003 were $52.0 million compared to $69.2 million for the same period last year, and $50.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003. Net sales for the entire fiscal year 2003 were $200.7 million compared to $265.7 million in fiscal year 2002. Bookings in the fourth quarter of 2003 were $48.1 million for a book-to-bill ratio of .93.

 

The Company recorded a net loss of $13.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003 compared to a net loss of $37.2 million for the same period last year. The net loss on a per share basis for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003 was $.37, compared to a net loss per share of $1.02 for the same period last year. For the entire fiscal year 2003, the Company recorded a net loss of $139.9 million or $3.85 per share compared to a net loss of $41.9 million or $1.24 per share in fiscal year 2002.

 

The fiscal year 2003 fourth quarter loss includes the following special items:

 

  ·   An adjustment (increase) of $6.0 million to the goodwill impairment charge recorded in the previous quarter.
  ·   Tax expense of $4.6 million related to purchase accounting adjustments.

 

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2003, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $40.0 million that was calculated, in part, using internal estimates of the value of intangible assets other than goodwill. The additional goodwill impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter is based on a third party appraisal of those assets.

 

$4.6 million of the tax expense recorded in the quarter relates to final purchase accounting adjustments for the Philips Broadband Networks acquisition that resulted in additional deferred tax assets as of the acquisition date. A full valuation allowance has been established for these deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter, resulting in a tax expense of $4.6 million being recorded.

 

On a pro forma basis, the Company’s operating expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003 were $17.0 million, compared to $17.3 million for the same period a year ago before the acquisition of Philips Broadband Networks and compared to $21.6 million in the third


quarter of fiscal year 2003. The 21% sequential decline in operating expenses for the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 is principally the result of the restructuring and cost reduction initiatives previously disclosed.

 

On a pro forma basis, the Company recorded a loss of $3.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003, compared to net income of $3.5 million for the same period last year. The net loss per share on a pro forma basis for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003 was $.09, compared to pro forma earnings of $.09 per diluted share for the same period last year. On a pro forma basis, the Company’s loss for fiscal year 2003 was $.74 per share compared to pro forma earnings of $.12 per diluted share in fiscal year 2002. The pro forma results exclude the aforementioned special items. A complete reconciliation of the net loss reported on a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) basis with the net income (loss) reported on a pro forma basis is provided in the attached tables.

 

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2004, ending September 26, 2003, the Company anticipates net sales of between $52 and $54 million and a loss per share of between $.05 and $.09. As previously reported, after fiscal year 2003 the Company will no longer include pro forma results in its earnings releases. The Company will continue to identify and communicate the effect of significant accounting transactions so that investors can better evaluate the Company’s financial results.
