Interphase Announces First Quarter 2008 Financial Results

PLANO, Texas – April 24, 2008 — Interphase Corporation (NASDAQ: INPH), a leading international supplier of next-generation networking technologies, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2008 were $7.5 million, representing a 46% increase over revenues for the first quarter of 2007 of $5.1 million. Revenues for the quarter were down sequentially when compared to revenues of $9.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2007. The first quarter 2008 revenues included a one time project cancellation fee of $973,000 for unique customer requirements for product development work that was discontinued. Revenues in the quarter were primarily driven by broadband telecom revenues, which rose 43% to $5.8 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2007. Our enterprise product line revenues decreased to $433,000 compared to $727,000 on a year to year basis. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2008 was 58% compared to 53% for the first quarter of 2007. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by the impact of the project cancellation fee. The company reported a first quarter 2008 net loss of $528,000, or ($0.08) per share compared to a net loss of $1.9 million, or ($0.30) per share in the first quarter of 2007. First quarter 2008 operating expenses included a $365,000 restructuring charge. The charge relates to the plan announced in March of 2008 and was undertaken to reduce future annual operating expenses, anticipated to be over $1.5 million annually. The company’s balance sheet continues to be strong with a working capital position of $26.4 million, including cash and marketable securities of $19.4 million on March 31, 2008.

“While I am pleased with our year to year revenue improvement, the industry-wide slowdown in equipment deployments resulted in a sequential revenue decline,” said Gregory B. Kalush, CEO and President of Interphase. “Throughout this industry consolidation and realignment, Interphase remains focused on strengthening our company’s competitive position in the market. In the first quarter of this year we implemented a restructuring effort designed to bring our spending more in line with our current run-rate of revenues, while preserving working capital for investments in additional areas of growth.”
