TUT SYSTEMS, INC. REAFFIRMS

FIRST QUARTER REVENUE GUIDANCE

 

The Company More Than Doubles the Number of Major Digital TV Headend

Wins in the Quarter

 

Lake Oswego, Oregon, April 13, 2005 — Tut Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: TUTS), today announced that based on a preliminary analysis of its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the company currently expects revenue for the first quarter to be $7.0 million, in line with the company’s previous revenue guidance.

 

“We continue to see positive momentum in the telco TV market space, resulting in more than double the number of major digital TV headend wins in the first quarter and an increase in our backlog, compared with the fourth quarter of 2004. In addition, we received a significant expansion order to an earlier MPEG-4 digital headend win,” said Sal D’Auria, Chairman, President and CEO. “We believe that the large carriers continue to track to their plans for new triple-play service offerings in 2005. We are making meaningful progress with our MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC, and FEC product initiatives and are well positioned to compete for multiple opportunities with these carriers. Further, with our just announced Astria VSP, we are confident in our ability to compete favorably for opportunities at the edge of IP video networks, be they owned by telcos or cable MSOs.”

 

Tut Systems continues to move forward in completing its acquisitions of CoSine Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: COSN) and Copper Mountain Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: CMTN). The company remains confident that both transactions will close in May, subject to the required stockholder approvals and customary regulatory review.
