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.
