SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/29/10 -- Harmonic Inc. (NASDAQ: HLIT), a leading provider of broadcast and on-demand video delivery solutions, today announced its preliminary and unaudited results for the quarter ended July 2, 2010.

For the second quarter of 2010, the Company reported net revenues of $95.5 million, up 18% from $81.3 million in the second quarter of 2009 and up 13% from $84.8 million in the first quarter of 2010. For the first six months of 2010, net revenues were $180.4 million, up 21% from $149.0 million in the same period of 2009. Total bookings in the second quarter of 2010 were approximately $103.9 million, up 28% from approximately $81.3 million for the second quarter of 2009.

The year-over-year growth in revenues and bookings reflected continued demand across many geographies and markets, driven by robust high-definition upgrades and expansion cycles. International sales represented 48% of net revenues for the second quarter of 2010. Sales to cable customers accounted for 56% of net revenues in the second quarter of 2010, sales to satellite customers accounted for 27%, and sales to telco, broadcast and other customers accounted for 17%.

The Company reported GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2010 of $4.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7.9 million, or $0.08 per share, for the second quarter of 2009. Significant GAAP items that have been excluded in computing non-GAAP results include acquisition and severance costs, non-cash accounting charges for stock-based compensation expense, the amortization of intangibles and certain tax adjustments. Excluding these items, non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2010 was $9.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, up from $3.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same period of 2009. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "GAAP to Non-GAAP Income (Loss) Reconciliation" below.

For the second quarter of 2010, Harmonic had GAAP gross margins of 48% and GAAP operating margins of 4.3%, up from 41% and (5.1%), respectively, for the same period of 2009. Excluding the GAAP items discussed above, non-GAAP gross margins were 51% and non-GAAP operating margins were 13.3% for the second quarter of 2010, up from 45% and 5.1%, respectively, for the same period of 2009.

As of July 2, 2010, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $277.9 million, up from $267.8 million as of April 2, 2010.

"Harmonic continues to perform well, with second quarter results driven by the growing worldwide investment in new high definition services. Our ongoing investment in innovative technologies that enable HD and other video services is being rewarded as new and existing customers increasingly choose Harmonic solutions to power their expanding HD offerings," said Patrick Harshman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"We are also pleased by the positive response from customers and partners to our proposed acquisition of Omneon. We expect that this combination of two strong market leaders will further solidify our position as a leading provider of video infrastructure to media companies around the world."

Business Outlook

Harmonic anticipates net revenues for the third quarter of 2010 in a range of $95 to $98 million and for the full year 2010 in a range of $370 to $375 million. GAAP gross margins and operating expenses for the third quarter of 2010 are expected to be in the range of 46% to 48% and $40 to $41 million, respectively. Non-GAAP gross margins and operating expenses for the third quarter of 2010, which exclude charges for stock-based compensation, the amortization of intangibles and severance charges, are anticipated to be in the range of 48% to 50% and $36 to $37 million, respectively. These anticipated results exclude any financial impact of, or related to, the proposed acquisition of Omneon, which is expected to close during the second half of 2010.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In establishing operating budgets, managing its business performance, and setting internal measurement targets, the Company excludes a number of items required by GAAP. Management believes that these accounting charges and credits, most of which are non-cash or non-recurring in nature, are not useful in managing its operations and business. Historically, the Company has also publicly presented these supplemental non-GAAP measures in order to assist the investment community to see the Company "through the eyes of management," and thereby enhance understanding of its operating performance. The non-GAAP measures presented here are gross margins, operating expense, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share. The presentation of non-GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP results published by other companies. A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable historical GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements contained in this press release. The non-GAAP adjustments described below have historically been excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures. These adjustments, and the basis for excluding them, are:

-- Restructuring Activities

   - Severance Costs
     The Company has incurred severance costs in cost of sales and in
     operating expenses in connection with the integration of its
     acquisition of Scopus in March 2009, as well as other severance
     costs related to headcount reduction actions in response to the
     global economic slowdown or other personnel changes. The Company
     excludes one-time costs of this nature in evaluating its ongoing
     operational performance. We believe that these costs do not reflect
     expected future expenses nor do they provide a meaningful comparison
     of current versus prior operating results.

   - Excess Facilities
     The Company has incurred excess facilities charges and credits in
     operating expenses due to adjustments related to vacating portions of
     its Sunnyvale campus and estimating income from sublease of buildings.
     Similar facilities charges have been incurred in connection with
     vacating certain buildings leased by Scopus which are no longer
     required. The Company excludes one-time charges and credits of this
     nature in evaluating its ongoing operational performance. We believe
     that these charges and credits do not reflect expected future
     expenses nor does their inclusion in calculating our results of
     operations provide a meaningful comparison of current versus prior
     operating results.

   - Product Discontinuance
     In connection with the rationalization of product lines following the
     acquisition of Scopus, the Company recorded charges for excess
     inventory in connection with products which have been discontinued or
     which are excess to requirements as they are expected to be sold on a
     very limited basis. The Company excludes one-time costs of this nature
     in evaluating its ongoing operational performance. We believe that
     these costs do not reflect expected future expenses nor does their
     inclusion in calculating our results of operations provide a
     meaningful comparison of current versus prior operating results.

--  Acquisition Fees and Expenses
    In accordance with the requirements of new business combination
    accounting standards, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2009,
    fees and expenses paid to professional advisers in connection with
    acquisitions have been expensed. These acquisition-related costs are
    of a one-time nature and the Company excludes costs of this nature in
    evaluating its ongoing operational performance. We believe that these
    costs do not reflect expected future expenses nor does their inclusion
    in calculating our results of operations provide a meaningful
    comparison of current versus prior operating results.

--  Non-Cash Items

   - Stock-Based Compensation Expense
     The Company has incurred stock-based compensation expense in cost of
     sales and operating expenses. The Company excludes stock-based
     compensation expense because it believes that this measure is not
     relevant in evaluating its core operating performance, either for
     internal measurement purposes or for period-to-period comparisons and
     benchmarking against other companies.

   - Amortization of Intangibles
     The Company has incurred a charge for amortization of intangibles
     related to acquisitions made by the Company. The Company excludes
     these items when it evaluates its core operating performance. We
     believe that eliminating these expenses is useful to investors when
     comparing historical and prospective results and comparing such
     results to other companies because these expenses will vary if and
     when the Company makes additional acquisitions.

   - Provision/Benefit for Income Taxes
     The Company has assumed an effective tax rate of 35% in 2009 and 30%
     in 2010 because management believes that these rates are indicative
     of the normalized tax rate for Harmonic and its consolidated
     subsidiaries on a global basis. Management believes that these rates
     i) more appropriately reflect a provision for income taxes based on
     computed and expected amounts of non-GAAP pre-tax income, and ii)
     exclude the impact of certain discrete events which can cause
     quarterly tax provisions to be volatile. Certain discrete items are
     required by GAAP to be recorded in the current period but do not
     reflect future expected tax provisions or effective rates nor does
     the inclusion of this information in calculating our net income
     provide a meaningful comparison of current versus prior net income.
