HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 3, 2009--RadiSys® Corporation (NASDAQ: RSYS), a leading global provider of advanced embedded solutions, today announced revenues of $88.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, down 11% versus the same quarter last year. The Company had a GAAP net loss of $56.6 million or $2.47 per share in the fourth quarter, versus a net loss of $2.4 million or $0.11 per share in the same quarter last year. GAAP results included a non-cash pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $67.3 million that was triggered by the Company’s lower stock price in the fourth quarter. Fourth quarter non-GAAP net income was $2.9 million or $0.12 per diluted share, versus $4.6 million or $0.18 per diluted share in the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP results mainly exclude the impact of the goodwill impairment charge, amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense.

The Company’s 2008 annual revenues were $372.6 million, up 15% from $325.2 million in the prior year. The Company’s 2008 GAAP net loss was $66.0 million or $2.92 per share, which included the non-cash goodwill impairment charge. This compares to a net loss of $17.6 million or $0.80 per share in the prior year. Non-GAAP net income was $12.5 million or $0.49 per diluted share in 2008, versus $8.2 million or $0.34 per diluted share in the prior year.

Commenting on the fourth quarter and full year results, Scott Grout, RadiSys President and CEO stated, “I am pleased that we delivered better than expected revenues and non-GAAP earnings in the fourth quarter with notable strength in our Media Server business. In 2008, we made meaningful progress on a number of our core strategies and grew our overall next-generation communications revenues to over $100 million for the year. Our strategic focus is to provide more complete and valuable solutions to our customers. Our progress on this strategy, combined with continuing improvements in operational execution, allowed us to increase our gross margin rate every quarter in 2008. Our expanded gross margin along with reductions in spending throughout 2008 allowed us to meaningfully increase our full year Non-GAAP operating income over 2007. Finally, we generated operating cash flow of over $11 million in the fourth quarter, over $34 million in the year, and we ended the year with $74 million of cash and cash equivalents.”

Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Revenue was higher than the Company’s expectations at $88.7 million and was down 11% from the prior year. Revenues were down due to lower wireless demand as well as a sequential decrease in ATCA revenues attributable to revenue recognized in the third quarter for shipments in prior quarters. Media server revenues also reached another record high for the Company in the fourth quarter.
  • GAAP gross margin was 28.5%, up 7.2 percentage points year-over-year. Non-GAAP gross margin was 31.6%, up 5 percentage points year-over-year, mainly due to a greater mix of next-generation higher margin products as well as improved manufacturing costs.
  • Total GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses were $23.9 million, down from $24.9 million in the same quarter last year and $24.7 million in the prior quarter. Non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses were $21.9 million versus $22.7 million in the same quarter last year and $22.5 million in the prior quarter.
  • GAAP operating loss was $66.5 million, which included the goodwill impairment charge of $67.3 million. Non-GAAP operating income was $6.1 million or 6.9% of revenues, which equates to 3.2 percentage points of improvement versus $3.7 million or 3.7% of revenues in the same quarter last year.
  • Cash flow from operating activities was $11.6 million versus $14.0 million in the same quarter last year. Cash and cash equivalents were $74.0 million at the end of fourth quarter.
  • In November, the Company repurchased all $37.5 million of its 1-3/8% Convertible Senior Notes at par. Also in the quarter, the Company repurchased $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2-3/4% 2013 Convertible Senior Notes for $3.1 million, leaving $50 million outstanding due in 2013.
  • The Company entered into a contract with UBS Bank USA (UBS) that requires the bank to repurchase, at par, the Company’s $62.7 million of student loan Auction Rate Securities (ARS’s) no later than June 30, 2010. As part of the agreement, the Company received a no net interest loan from UBS for approximately $40 million, which represents 75% of the market value of the Company’s ARS’s held by UBS.
  • In the third quarter, the Company borrowed $20 million on a $30 million line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) as a precautionary measure. In the fourth quarter, the Company repaid the $20 million to SVB with a portion of the $40 million of proceeds received from the no net interest loan from UBS.

2008 Annual Financial Highlights

  • 2008 revenue was $372.6 million, up $47.4 million or 15% over the prior year. 2008 next-generation communication revenue, consisting of ATCA and media server products, was over $100 million for the full year compared to $90 million that was previously expected and $36 million in the prior year.
  • GAAP gross margin was 25.8%, up 3.7 percentage points over the prior year. Non-GAAP gross margin was 29.9%, up 2.8 percentage points year-over-year, mainly due to a greater mix of next-generation higher margin products as well as improved manufacturing costs.
  • Cash flow from operating activities was $34.9 million for the year, up 75% from $20.0 million in the prior year.

Fourth Quarter New Product Highlights

  • The Company won new ATCA business in applications such as network testing, optical networking, network security, router co-processors and next-generation radio network controllers. In the quarter, the Company was awarded a new ATCA integrated platform program in China.
  • One of the Company’s new ATCA platform customers achieved carrier approval to deploy their wireless networking product in volume. As of November, the end customer’s product had hosted over five million calls using the RadiSys ATCA platform.
  • RadiSys hosted, along with its ecosystem partners, the industry’s first fully online ATCA virtual tradeshow with presentations, panels and exhibitor booths that provided real-time insight from ATCA experts in the industry. Over a thousand qualified registrants signed up for the tradeshow.
  • In the Media Server product family, the Company won new business with ZTE Corporation, one of the major telecommunications equipment suppliers in China, for a unified communications application. The application produces an integrated solution for color ring back tones and is currently deployed and generating revenues for leading service providers in China. Integrating the Company’s media servers with ZTE’s Unified Service Platform has created a versatile infrastructure for VoIP, video, and IMS applications.
  • Commercial product wins in the quarter included several medical imaging applications, including an award from a top medical equipment provider in China. Other Commercial awards included military communication and data collection applications.
  • The Procelerant RMS420 image processing server began shipping in production volumes in the fourth quarter to two “Tier 1” medical imaging customers.

First Quarter 2009 Outlook

The following statements are based on current expectations as of the date of this press release. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Given the ongoing global economic downturn, the Company’s estimates are subject to a higher level of uncertainty than usual. The Company assumes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

  • Q1 revenue is expected to be between $73 and $79 million as a result of lower wireless revenues and softness in the Company’s Commercial markets.
  • Q1 GAAP gross margin percentage is expected to be up sequentially by around 70 basis points due to lower intangible amortization expenses. Q1 non-GAAP gross margin percentage is expected to be similar to the fourth quarter’s rate at the midpoint of the guidance range.
  • Total Q1 GAAP and Non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses are expected to be down by approximately $0.5 million sequentially at the midpoint of the guidance range.
  • Q1 GAAP results are expected to be between a net loss of $0.10 and $0.03 per share. Q1 non-GAAP EPS is expected to be between $0.05 and $0.11. These amounts exclude any possible tax benefit related to the pending exchange rate that will be used to value the Company’s Canadian dollar denominated deferred tax assets in the first quarter.

In closing, Scott Grout stated, “I am very pleased with our strategic and financial progress in 2008. We meaningfully grew our higher value product revenues, added a number of new customers and extended our market presence. From a financial perspective, we expanded our gross margin rate, generated meaningful operating cash flow and ended the year with a strong balance sheet. Although the current economic environment has resulted in increased uncertainty and projected softening in customer demand, we intend to focus on our core strategies while, at the same time, closely monitoring our expenses to continue to generate free cash flow and maintain our strong balance sheet.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements about the Company’s business strategy, outlook and guidance for the first quarter of 2009. Actual results could differ materially from the outlook, guidance and expectations in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of risk factors, including, among others, (a) the Company’s dependence on certain customers and high degree of customer concentration (b) the anticipated amount and timing of revenues from design wins due to the Company’s customers’ product development time, cancellations or delays, (c) the current economic uncertainty and turmoil within the global financial markets, (d) the impact of failed auctions for auction rate securities held by the Company until such securities are repurchased by UBS in June 2010, and (e) the factors listed in RadiSys’ reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including those listed under “Risk Factors” in RadiSys’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and in the RadiSys Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC each fiscal quarter, and other filings with the SEC, copies of which may be obtained by contacting the Company at 503-615-1100 or from the Company’s investor relations web site at http://investor.radisys.com/ . Although forward-looking statements help provide additional information about RadiSys, investors should keep in mind that forward-looking statements are inherently less reliable than historical information. All information in this press release is as of February 3, 2009. The Company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in the Company’s expectations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain expenses, gains and losses, such as the effects of (a) a goodwill impairment charge, (b) acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of deferred compensation, integration expenses and purchase accounting adjustments, (c) stock-based compensation expense recognized as a result of the Company’s adoption of FAS 123R, (d) restructuring charges (reversals), and (e) a gain related to the sale of a building /land. The Company believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of its current financial performance and its prospects for the future. Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring the Company's performance, and the Company believes that it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes. These non-GAAP measures are considered to be reflective of the Company’s core operating results as they more closely reflect the essential revenue-generating activities of the Company and direct operating expenses (resulting in cash expenditures) needed to perform these revenue-generating activities. The Company also believes, based on feedback provided to the Company during its earnings calls' Q&A sessions and discussions with the investment community, that the non-GAAP financial measures it provides are necessary to allow the investment community to construct their valuation models to better align its results and projections with its competitors and market sector, as there is significant variability and unpredictability across companies with respect to certain expenses, gains and losses. Accordingly, management excludes goodwill impairment charges, amortization of acquired intangible assets primarily related to the Convedia and Intel MCPD acquisitions, stock-based compensation expense and significant and non-recurring charges and gains.

The non-GAAP financial information is presented using consistent methodology from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP information to GAAP information is included in the tables below. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The Company excludes the following expenses, reversals, gains and losses from its non-GAAP financial measures, when applicable:

 

(a) Amortization of acquired intangible assets: Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets primarily relate to core and existing technologies, patents, trade name and customer relationships that were acquired with the acquisition of Convedia and MCPD. The Company excludes the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because it does not reflect the Company's ongoing business and it does not have a direct correlation to the operation of the Company's business. In addition, in accordance with GAAP, the Company generally recognizes expenses for internally-developed intangible assets as they are incurred, notwithstanding the potential future benefit such assets may provide. Unlike internally-developed intangible assets, however, and also in accordance with GAAP, the Company generally capitalizes the cost of acquired intangible assets and recognizes that cost as an expense over the useful lives of the assets acquired (other than goodwill, which is not amortized, and acquired in-process technology, which is expensed immediately, as required under GAAP). As a result of their GAAP treatment, there is an inherent lack of comparability between the financial performance of internally-developed intangible assets and acquired intangible assets. Accordingly, the Company believes it is useful to provide, as a supplement to its GAAP operating results, non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the amortization of acquired intangibles in order to enhance the period-over-period comparison of its operating results, as there is significant variability and unpredictability across companies with respect to this expense.

 
(b) Amortization of deferred compensation: Deferred compensation expense consists of amortized expenses related to 25% of the purchase price per share less the exercise price of Convedia stock options to be paid to Convedia employees still employed by RadiSys after one year of service. The Company excludes the amortization of deferred compensation expense because it does not reflect the Company's ongoing business and it does not have a direct correlation to the operation of the Company's business.
 
(c) Integration expenses: Integration expenses consist of expenses related to the integration effort between the Company and Convedia. The Company excludes integration expenses because it does not reflect the Company's ongoing business and it does not have a direct correlation to the operation of the Company's business.
 
(d) Purchase accounting adjustments: Purchase accounting adjustments consist of adjustments for fair value accounting treatment of Convedia assets. These adjustments relate to the write-down of deferred revenue to the cost to complete the revenue earnings process. The Company excludes the purchase accounting adjustments because it does not reflect the Company's ongoing business and it does not have a direct correlation to the operation of the Company's business.
 
(e) Stock-based compensation: Stock-based compensation consists of expenses recorded under SFAS 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," in connection with stock awards such as stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units granted under the Company's equity incentive plans and shares issued pursuant to the Company's employee stock purchase plan. The Company excludes stock-based compensation from non-GAAP financial measures because it is a non-cash measurement that does not reflect the Company's ongoing business and because the Company believes that investors want to understand the impact on the Company of the adoption of SFAS 123(R); the Company believes that the provision of non-GAAP information that excludes stock-based compensation improves the ability of investors to compare its period-over-period operating results, as there is significant variability and unpredictability across companies with respect to this expense.
 
(f) Restructuring and other charges (reversals): Restructuring and other charges primarily relate to activities engaged in by the Company’s management to simplify its infrastructure. Restructuring and other charges are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not considered core operating activities and the occurrence of such costs are infrequent. Although the Company has engaged in various restructuring activities over the past several years, each has been a discrete, extraordinary event based on a unique set of business objectives. The Company does not engage in restructuring activities on a regular basis or in the ordinary course of business. As such, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude restructuring charges from its non-GAAP financial measures, as it enhances the ability of investors to compare the Company’s period-over-period operating results.
 
(g) Other special items: This amount arises from the sale of a building in the second quarter of 2007. The Company excludes special items, such as this, because the transaction does not reflect the Company’s ongoing business and does not have a direct correlation to the operation of the Company’s business.
 
(h) Goodwill impairment: The goodwill impairment charge relates to a write down of balances associated with previous acquisitions. The Company excludes the goodwill impairment charge because it is unusual in nature and does not reflect the operation of the Company's ongoing business. Additionally, its exclusion enhances the ability of investors to compare the Company’s period-over-period operating results.
 
(i) Income taxes: Income tax benefit associated with non-GAAP adjustments.
