BigBand Networks, Inc., (NASDAQ: BBND) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

For the fourth quarter of 2009, total revenues were $34.4 million. This compares to revenues of $54.1 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2008. GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $1.2 million, or ($0.02) per share, as compared to GAAP net income of $7.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, reported in the fourth quarter of 2008.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $3.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2009, which compares to non-GAAP net income of $10.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, reported in the fourth quarter of 2008. Fourth quarter 2009 non-GAAP results exclude $3.9 million in stock-based compensation expense and include $0.4 million of incremental tax benefit.

For fiscal year 2009, total revenues were $139.5 million, as compared to $185.3 million reported in 2008. GAAP net loss was $6.7 million, or ($0.10) per share, compared to GAAP net income of $9.8 million, or $0.15 per share, reported in fiscal year 2008.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $9.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2009, which compares to non-GAAP net income of $22.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, reported for 2008. The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling items, for the three months and years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 can be found in “The Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” attached to this press release.

BigBand generated $11.3 million in cash from operating activities in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009 and closed the year with $171.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

"Our fourth quarter performance marks the positive conclusion to 2009, despite the challenging macroeconomic environment," commented Amir Bassan-Eskenazi, President and CEO of BigBand Networks. "During the year, we continued to win strategic footprint and align with our customers to deliver solutions that tie to the trends of HD, TV Everywhere and, ultimately, 3D-TV. In addition, we were successful at managing expenses, preserving cash and maintaining a strong balance sheet.

"In fiscal year 2010, we expect revenues to grow at approximately 10% despite the cautious capital spending indicated by our customers. Video is at the core of our customers’ business strategy, and we believe a larger portion of capital budgets will be allocated to digital video networking over time.”

First Quarter 2010 Business Outlook

For the first quarter of 2010, management provides the following outlook:

  • Net revenues are expected to be in the range of $33.0 million to $35.0 million
  • GAAP gross margins are expected to be in the range of 53% to 55%
  • Non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be in the range of 54% to 56%
  • GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $24.5 million to $25.5 million.
  • Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $21.0 million to $22.0 million.
  • GAAP net loss per share is expected to be in the range of ($0.09) to ($0.11).
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be in the range of ($0.03) to ($0.05).

The following table shows our non-GAAP anticipated results for the quarter ending March 31, 2010 reconciled to our GAAP anticipated results. Our non-GAAP anticipated results exclude stock-based compensation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

BigBand reports all financial information required in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but we believe that evaluating our ongoing operating results may be difficult to understand if limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Many of our investors have requested that we disclose non-GAAP information because it is useful in understanding our performance as it excludes non-cash and other one-time charges or benefits that many investors feel may obscure our true operating results. Likewise, management uses non-GAAP measures to manage and assess the profitability of our business going forward and does not consider stock-based compensation expense or amortization of intangible assets which are non-cash charges, as well as charges related to the settlement of the federal class action lawsuit, restructuring charges in managing our operations, any benefit from the sale of our CMTS product inventory that was previously reserved for in prior periods and related taxes. Specifically, management does not consider these expenses/benefits when developing and monitoring our budgets and spending. The economic substance behind our decision to exclude stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets relates to these charges being non-cash in nature. We exclude restructuring charges and charges related to the settlement of the federal class action lawsuit as they are one-time events. As a result, we use calculations of non-GAAP operating income, net income, net income per share and gross margin, which exclude these expenses when evaluating our ongoing operations and allocating resources within the organization.

As a result, our management believes it is useful, for itself and investors, to review both GAAP information that includes such charges and non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these charges because management believes such information enables readers of these financial results to have a better understanding of the overall performance of our ongoing business operations in the periods presented.

Whenever we use a non-GAAP financial measure, we provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
