TMCNet:  BigBand Networks Reports Strong Third Quarter 2008 Results

[October 30, 2008]

BigBand Networks Reports Strong Third Quarter 2008 Results

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- BigBand Networks, Inc., (NASDAQ:BBND) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

For the third quarter of 2008, total revenues were $48.3 million, a 25% increase from $38.5 million reported in the third quarter of 2007. Revenues from the Company's video products increased to $46.2 million in the third quarter of 2008, a 51% increase from $30.5 million in the third quarter of 2007.


GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2008 was $3.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. These results compare to a GAAP net loss of $12.2 million, or $0.21 per share, reported in the third quarter of 2007.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $6.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008. These numbers exclude $3.0 million in stock-based compensation expense, $737,000 in restructuring charges and $112,000 in amortization of intangibles, offset by an $18,000 benefit from the sale of CMTS platform inventory previously reserved for in a prior period and $502,000 of incremental income taxes on higher non-GAAP earnings. This compares to a non-GAAP net loss of $2.7 million, or $0.05 per share, in the third quarter of 2007. The previous quarter's non-GAAP results also reflect adjustments for stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and related tax expenses. A reconciliation of our GAAP and non-GAAP results is included with this press release.

The Company generated $7.9 million in cash from operating activities, closing the third quarter of 2008 with $165.0 million in cash and investments compared to $158.8 million in the second quarter of 2008. The Company ended the third quarter of 2008 with no debt.

"This was another quarter of solid financial performance, with video revenues increasing by 51% over the year ago period," commented Amir Bassan-Eskenazi, president and CEO of BigBand Networks. "In the quarter, we grew our footprint across all of our solutions - Digital Simulcast, Telco TV and our SDV solutions. Importantly, we have made great progress by achieving key design wins in the large IPTV market, which we expect will contribute to our product and regional diversification strategy in 2009. As we look ahead, we are cautious about the economic environment, but confident in the long-term growth prospects for our business."

Fourth Quarter 2008 Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2008, management provides the following outlook:

-- Net revenues are expected to be in the range of $48.0 to $50.0 million.

-- GAAP gross margins are expected to be in the range of 56% to 58%.

-- Non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be in the range of 57% to 59%

-- GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $27.5 to $28.0 million.

-- Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $24.0 to $24.5 million.

-- GAAP net earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.02 to $0.04.

-- Our GAAP net earnings per share will reflect a one-time benefit of $0.02 as a result of the sale of our FastFlow provisioning software technology in October 2008. This one-time benefit will be excluded from our non-GAAP net earnings.

-- Non-GAAP net earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.04 to $0.06.

The following table presents our non-GAAP anticipated results for the fourth quarter of 2008, reconciled to our GAAP anticipated results. Our non-GAAP anticipated results exclude (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) sale of our FastFlow provisioning software technology, (iii) amortization of intangible assets and (iv) related income tax expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

BigBand reports all financial information required in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but we believe that evaluating our ongoing operating results may be difficult to understand if limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Many of our investors have requested that we disclose non-GAAP information because it is useful in understanding our performance as it excludes non-cash and other one-time charges that many investors feel may obscure our true operating costs. Likewise, management uses non-GAAP measures to manage and assess the profitability of our business going forward and does not consider stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets or preferred stock warrant expenses, which are non-cash charges, as well as the sale of our FastFlow provisioning software technology and restructuring charges in managing its operations. Specifically, management does not consider these expenses when developing and monitoring our budgets and spending. The economic substance behind our decision to exclude preferred stock warrant expense, stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets relates to these charges being non-cash in nature. We exclude restructuring and the sale of our FastFlow provisioning software technology as they are one time events. As a result, we use calculations of non-GAAP operating income, net income, net income per share and gross margin, which exclude, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and the related taxes, to evaluate our ongoing operations and to allocate resources within the organization.

As a result, our management believes it is useful, for itself and investors, to review both GAAP information that includes such charges and non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these charges and that it enables such parties to have a better understanding of the overall performance of our ongoing business operations in the periods presented.

Whenever we use a non-GAAP financial measure, we provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
