BBND Bigband Networks (MM)

BigBand Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: BBND), a leader in digital video networking, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

For the second quarter, total revenues were $19.8 million as compared to $26.4 million reported in the second quarter of 2010. GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $8.2 million, or ($0.12) per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $9.6 million, or ($0.14) per share, reported in the second quarter of 2010.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of $5.6 million, or ($0.08) per share, in the second quarter of 2011, which compares to a non-GAAP net loss of $5.1 million, or ($0.07) per share, reported in the second quarter of 2010. Second quarter 2011 non-GAAP results exclude $2.6 million in stock-based compensation expense and related income taxes. The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling items, for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 can be found in “The Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” attached to this press release.

The Company ended the second quarter of 2011 with $127.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

“In the quarter, we made good progress in our growth initiatives, including a major win for our new MSP platform with AT&T. This win validates the MSP’s highly-differentiated advertising capabilities and position in IP Video and opens new opportunities with telco and cable customers,” commented Amir Bassan-Eskenazi, President and CEO of BigBand Networks. “Broadcast Video, QAM and SDV (Switched Digital Video) continued to contribute solidly to revenue in the quarter and we are pleased with the progress we have made with our new products."

Third Quarter 2011 Business Outlook

For the third quarter of 2011, management provides the following outlook:

• Net revenues are expected to be in the range of $20 million to $23 million
• GAAP net loss per share is expected to be in the range of ($0.10) to ($0.12)
• Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be in the range of ($0.07) to ($0.09)

The following table shows our non-GAAP outlook for the quarter ending September 30, 2011 reconciled to our GAAP outlook. Our non-GAAP outlook excludes stock-based compensation charges and related taxes.

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 restructuring charges and related taxes in managing our operations. 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 is that this charge is non-cash in nature. We exclude restructuring charges as they are one-time events. As a result, we use calculations of non-GAAP operating loss, net loss, net loss 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 have access to 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.
