Tekelec Announces Strong Q3 2009 Revenues and Operating Income - Zibb.com

Tekelec ("the Company"), (NASDAQ: TKLC), the network signaling, mobile messaging and performance management company, today announced its earnings for the third quarter of 2009.

2009 Third Quarter Results from Continuing Operations

Revenue from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2009 was $114.9 million, up 8% compared to $106.0 million for the third quarter of 2008. The Company had orders of $94.7 million for the quarter, up 8% from $87.4 million for the third quarter of 2008.

On a GAAP basis, the Company reported income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2009 of $9.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, with the earnings per share up 8% compared to $8.6 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2008. Our third quarter 2009 GAAP results include a non-cash impairment charge of $10.8 million ($5.7 million net of tax related adjustments), or $0.08 per diluted share, related to a decline in the fair value of our equity interest in Genband, a privately held company. GAAP operating margins from continuing operations were 19% for the third quarter of 2009 and 14% for the third quarter of 2008.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2009 was $18.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, with earnings per share up 42% compared to $12.5 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2008.

Please refer to the attached financial statement schedules for a reconciliation of the Company's GAAP financial measures and operating results to its non-GAAP financial measures and operating results.

Frank Plastina, Tekelec's president and chief executive officer, stated, "Tekelec continues to focus on business fundamentals and strong execution which generated non-GAAP operating margin of 23% and $11.9 million of cash flow from operations for the quarter. Also, our next generation products continue to gain traction and we now have a total of eight Tier-1 customers who have purchased our Eagle XG platform."

Year-to-Date Results from Continuing Operations

For the first nine months of 2009, revenue from continuing operations was $345.8 million, up 1% compared to $340.7 million for the first nine months of 2008.

Our GAAP results for the first nine months of 2009 include a non-cash impairment charge of $13.6 million ($8.5 million net of tax related adjustments), or $0.13 per diluted share, related to a decline in the fair value of our equity interest in Genband, a privately held company. Our GAAP results for the first nine months of 2008 included a one-time tax benefit of $3.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, resulting from the utilization of certain capital losses generated by the 2007 sale of our switching business. GAAP operating margins from continuing operations were 17% and 14% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Please refer to the attached financial statement schedules for a reconciliation of the Company's GAAP financial measures and operating results to its non-GAAP financial measures and operating results.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2009, the Company's consolidated cash and cash equivalents totaled $266.6 million, compared to $242.9 million at June 30, 2009. In addition, the Company held $98.4 million of auction rate securities and associate put rights which it has the right to convert to cash on June 30, 2010.

Working capital at September 30, 2009 was $393.9 million, compared to $358.5 million at June 30, 2009, with the increase due primarily to the positive cash flow generated during the third quarter.

2009 Full Year Guidance

For the full year 2009, we now believe that our order entry will range between $390 million and $420 million. We believe our revenues will continue to range between $450 million and $460 million and that our gross margins will range between 66% and 67%. We also now expect full year non-GAAP diluted EPS to range between $0.95 and $1.00 per share and GAAP diluted EPS to range between $0.61 to $0.66 per share. See table below for a reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP guidance.

                                           2009 Guidance
            Orders                         $390M - $420M
           Revenues                        $450M - $460M
         Non-GAAP GM %                       66% - 67% *
       GAAP Diluted EPS                    $0.61 - $0.66
     Non-GAAP Diluted EPS                  $0.95 - $1.00 *
*  Excludes $13.9M of estimated stock-based compensation expense, $8.3M of
estimated amortization of purchased technology and acquisition-related
expenses, a $13.6M non-cash charge related to a decline in fair value of
the equity interest in Genband, a privately held investment, and a ($0.7M)
property tax refund associated with assets of our former SSG business unit
(net of associated tax impact related to all of the adjustments above of
approximately $11.9M) which are included in GAAP EPS. These Non-GAAP
adjustments after tax represent approximately $0.34 per share. Of these
amounts, approximately $7.0M would increase Non-GAAP cost of sales and
reduce the Non-GAAP gross margin.

Non-GAAP Information

Certain non-GAAP financial measures are included in this press release, including a full non-GAAP statement of operations. In the calculation of these measures, Tekelec generally excludes certain items such as amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring and other charges, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, and unusual, non-recurring gains and charges. Tekelec believes that excluding such items provides investors and management with a representation of the Company's core operating performance and with information useful in assessing its prospects for the future and underlying trends in Tekelec's operating expenditures and continuing operations. Management uses such non-GAAP measures and the non-GAAP statements of operations to (i) evaluate financial results, (ii) manage the Company's operations, and (iii) establish operational goals. Further, each of the individual non-GAAP measures within the non-GAAP statement of operations and the non-GAAP statement of operations itself are utilized by the Company's management and board of directors to assist in determining incentive compensation and evaluating key trends within the business. In addition, since the Company has historically reported non-GAAP measures to the investment community, the Company believes the inclusion of this information provides consistency in our financial reporting. The release and the attachments to this release provide a reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP measures, including those included in the full non-GAAP statement of operations, referred to in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered a substitute for the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this press release are forward looking, reflect the Company's current intent, belief or expectations and involve certain risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual future performance may differ materially from such expectations as a result of important risk factors, which include, in addition to those identified in the Company's 2008 Form 10-K, 2009 First, Second and Third Quarter Form 10-Qs and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the effect of the current or escalating economic crisis including the impact of credit availability and currency fluctuations on overall capital spending by our customers, the current or further detrimental changes in general economic, social, or political conditions in the countries in which we operate, the timeliness and functional competitiveness of our product releases, the timing of our recognition of revenues and changes to the accounting rules related thereto, our ability to maintain OEM, partner, and vendor support and supply relationships, the extent to which any customer outsourcing to our competitors and supplier consolidation increase the influence of competitors on our customers' purchases, business interruptions at the Company, its suppliers or customers resulting from the recent or subsequent flu pandemics, our ability to compete with other manufacturers that have lower cost bases than ours and/or are partially supported by foreign governments or employ other unfair trade practices, our ability to integrate acquisitions, our ability to protect intellectual property rights or the risk of infringing and litigating with others regarding their intellectual property rights, and changes in the market price of the Company's common stock.

(1) The adjustments represent stock-based compensation expense recognized related to awards of stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights granted under our equity incentive plans and stock purchase rights granted under our employee stock purchase plan.

(2) The adjustments represent the amortization of purchased technology and other intangibles related to the acquisitions of Steleus, iptelorg and mBalance.

(3) The adjustment represents consideration payable to Estacado that is contingent upon the continued employment of certain former Estacado employees by Tekelec.

(4) The adjustment represents a net charge associated with our investment in Genband received in exchange for our SSG business unit in 2007. Specifically, we incurred an impairment charge of $10.8 million as a result of a decline in the estimated fair value of our investment as compared to historical cost. Partially offsetting this impairment is a one time property tax refund of $0.7 million received associated with the former assets of our SSG business unit.

(5) The adjustment represents the income tax effect of footnotes (1), (2), (3) and (4) in order to reflect our non-GAAP effective tax rate.

Iowa Network Services and Onvoy Voice Services Select Tekelec for SS7 and VoIP Network Performance

Tekelec (NASDAQ: TKLC), the network signaling, mobile messaging and performance management company, has been selected to monitor signaling system 7 (SS7) and voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) traffic by Iowa Network Services (INS) and Onvoy Voice Services. INS and Onvoy operate and co-own the SS7 network, and had a need to monitor the increasing volume of IP traffic on their individual networks. Tekelec's Integrated Applications Solution (IAS) will monitor, correlate and report on multi-protocol network traffic to deliver critical business intelligence information for troubleshooting, traffic management and improved network efficiency.

In May of this year, INS and Onvoy replaced their existing performance management product with the IAS solution because of Tekelec's comprehensive network monitoring and reporting capabilities in both signaling system 7 (SS7) and session initiation protocol (SIP) domains. In addition, IAS integrates with Tekelec's EAGLE(R) 5 core network signaling platform, thereby reducing costs and streamlining operations by minimizing the need for passive probes to collect traffic data.

"Tekelec gives us the great benefit of analyzing trouble reports, billing issues and network traffic patterns to identify potential problems and better serve our customers," said Bob Sherlock, vice president of engineering for Iowa Network Services, a network of independent telephone companies that provides telecommunications services in rural Iowa. "IAS is the ideal way to collect SS7 and SIP data, and its ability to store 60 days of traffic allows us to easily compare historical and real-time network performance information."

IAS provides sophisticated data collection, correlation and reporting for more than 150 global wireline and wireless service providers. Through the analysis of network- and service-level traffic, IAS delivers new levels of network, service and customer intelligence, thereby improving subscribers' quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE). The solution offers troubleshooting capabilities and key performance indicators (KPIs) to support traffic management, security, and wireless services such as roaming, prepaid and short message service (SMS). The IAS platform supports both Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) and VoIP networks with a common set of applications, troubleshooting between the two network domains in real time.

"Onvoy Voice Services continues to invest in the tools required to enhance the information available to our customers and to advance our SS7 service offering," said Fritz Hendricks, president of Onvoy, a wholesale telecom services provider based in Minnesota. "In using the Tekelec IAS, Onvoy has established an end-to-end, real-time and historical network monitoring system. The Tekelec IAS system enables Onvoy to rapidly identify the origin of suspect, non-billable traffic, thereby supporting our customer revenue collection efforts. This will be a differentiator for customers as we work together to expand into new markets."

Tekelec's traffic management KPIs enable service providers to quickly determine network traffic type, volume, origination and destination, as well as causes for uncompleted calls. The resulting intelligence ensures that traffic is managed properly and routed in the most efficient and cost-effective manner.

"The signaling layer is the best source to pinpoint anomalous network activity and areas requiring troubleshooting," said Ron de Lange, executive vice president at Tekelec. "We are excited about our deeper relationship with INS and Onvoy, and the improvements they're targeting to enhance customers' quality of service and experience."

For more information about IAS, Tekelec has a free "Customer Service Assurance" white paper available for download. Prepared by Stratecast Senior Consulting Analyst Karl Whitelock and Tekelec, the paper contains five case studies of customer service assurance implementations.
