ADTRAN, Inc. Reports Earnings for the Fourth Quarter 2019 and Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend

 

February 5, 2020

 

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — February 5, 2020 -- ADTRAN, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADTN) (“ADTRAN” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter 2019. For the quarter, revenue was $115.8 million compared to $140.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2019 were a net loss of $12.7 million compared to a net loss of $8.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Earnings per share was a loss of $0.26 per share compared to a loss of $0.18 per share for the fourth quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP earnings were a net loss of $3.2 million compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP earnings per share was a loss of $0.07 per share compared to a non-GAAP loss of $0.12 per share for the fourth quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP loss per share exclude stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related amortizations and other expenses, restructuring expenses, amortization of pension actuarial losses, valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets, asset impairments, gain on bargain purchase of a business and certain other contingencies and the reimbursement from a claim settlement. The reconciliation between GAAP net loss and loss per share to non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP loss per share is set forth in the table provided below.

 

ADTRAN Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Tom Stanton stated, “While the U.S. market remains challenging, we saw a solid performance in our international business. We continue to see activity building around our 10G PON and fiber extension solutions across all geographies we serve, most notably in Europe. We believe we are at the beginning of a significant investment cycle for fiber deployment driven by technology advancements, regulatory influences and vendor disruption.”

 

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the fourth quarter of 2019. The quarterly cash dividend is $0.09 per common share to be paid to the Company’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 20, 2020. The payment date will be March 5, 2020.

This press release contains forward-looking statements, generally identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “will,” “may,” “could” and similar expressions, which forward-looking statements reflect management’s best judgment based on factors currently known. However, these statements involve risks and uncertainties, including the successful development and market acceptance of new products, the degree of competition in the market for such products, the product and channel mix, component costs, manufacturing efficiencies, and other risks detailed in our annual report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2018 and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019, and September 30, 2019. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements included in this press release.

 

 

 


To provide additional transparency, we have disclosed in the table below non-GAAP operating loss, which has been reconciled to operating loss, and non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share - basic and diluted, which have been reconciled to net loss and loss per share - basic and diluted, in each case as reported based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items which management believes are not reflective of the ongoing operating performance of the business. We believe this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our ongoing operations. Additionally, these measures are used by management in our ongoing planning and annual budgeting processes. The presentation of non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP loss per share – basic and diluted, when combined with the U.S. GAAP presentation of operating loss, net loss, and net loss per share – basic and diluted, is beneficial to the overall understanding of ongoing operating performance of the Company.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with, or an alternative for, U.S. GAAP and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, our calculation of non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP loss per share - basic and diluted may not be comparable to similar measures calculated by other companies.
