ADTRAN, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADTN) (“ADTRAN” or the “Company”)
announced today preliminary estimates of certain financial results
for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019. Based upon
preliminary information, revenue for the quarter is expected to be
approximately $114 million. Earnings per share for the quarter,
assuming dilution, is expected to be a loss of approximately $0.96.
Non-GAAP earnings per share for the quarter, assuming dilution, is
expected to be a loss of approximately $0.06. Earnings per share is
expected to be affected by a one-time, non-cash, valuation
allowance of approximately $37 million, that will be recorded to
income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated income statement
to reduce the carrying value of the Company’s deferred tax
assets.
ADTRAN Chief Executive Officer Tom Stanton stated, “Our revenue
this quarter has been significantly impacted by a pause in
shipments to a Tier 1 customer in Latin America and the continued
slowdown in the spending at an international Tier 1 customer. With
the exception of these two large customers, revenues generated from
the rest of our business grew 20% over the previous quarter.
Although we expect our Latin American customer sales to rebound,
our current visibility regarding timing is limited. For the
international Tier 1 customer, we expect that sales should resume
with the new capital cycle in 2020.”
Our current expectation for revenue for the fourth quarter of
2019, is that it will be flat to slightly down from the third
quarter. Additionally, we plan for our non-GAAP operating expenses
during the fourth quarter to be approximately 10% below our second
quarter non-GAAP expense rate.
In connection with our confirmation at the end of the third
quarter of the extent of the decline in revenue during the quarter
(which fell below our expectations) and management’s current
expectations for revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019, we are
establishing a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.
The deferred tax assets represent timing differences in the
recognition of certain tax benefits for accounting and income tax
purposes, including the expected value of future tax savings that
will be available to offset future taxable income through the
Company’s net operating loss carryforwards. In future periods, the
Company may be able to reduce some or all of the valuation
allowance upon a determination that it will be able to realize such
tax savings, thereby reducing its future tax liability and
recognizing an income tax benefit within the consolidated income
statement.
Non-GAAP earnings per share excludes the effect of the valuation
allowance, restructuring expenses, stock-based compensation
expenses, asset impairments, amortization of losses related to the
Company’s pension plan, and acquisition-related expenses,
amortizations and adjustments.

This press release contains forward-looking statements which
reflect management’s best judgment based on factors currently
known. However, these statements involve risks and uncertainties,
including the degree to which sales to the Latin American Tier 1
customer and international Tier 1 customer rebound and the timing
thereof, whether we will be able to reduce some or all of the
valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in future
periods, 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 and June 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. We do
not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements to reflect future events, information or
circumstances that arise after the date of this release.
Additionally, the financial measures presented herein are
preliminary estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties,
including, among others, changes in connection with quarter end
adjustments. Any variation between the Company’s actual results and
the preliminary financial information set forth herein may be
material.
To provide additional transparency, we have disclosed estimated
non-GAAP net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share - diluted,
which has been reconciled to estimated net income (loss) and
earnings (loss) per share - diluted as reported based on Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP).
This non-GAAP measure excludes 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, this measure is used by management in our
ongoing planning and annual budgeting processes. The presentation
of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per
share- diluted, when combined with the U.S. GAAP presentation of
net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share- diluted is
beneficial to the overall understanding of the ongoing operating
performance of the Company.
This measure is not 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. Our calculation of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP
earnings (loss) per share - diluted may not be comparable to
similar measures calculated by other companies.
