Ikanos Communications Reports Results for First Quarter 2008

FREMONT, Calif., April 24 PRNewswire-FirstCall — Ikanos Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: IKAN), a leading provider of advanced broadband for the digital home, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 30, 2008.

"I'm very pleased that Ikanos achieved non-GAAP profitability for the second consecutive quarter. Our quarterly revenues increased 20% from the year ago period driven primarily by increased demand in Europe and Japan," said Michael A. Ricci, Ikanos' president and CEO. "During the quarter we expanded our product portfolio by introducing the industry's first single chip integrated front end (IFE) which enables cost effective, low power, multi-mode triple play residential gateways. In addition, we have made significant progress on our GPON initiative."

The Company's Board of Directors has authorized a new program to repurchase, as opportunities arise, shares of Ikanos' outstanding common stock having an aggregate value of up to $10 million, depending on market conditions and other factors. On March 30, 2008, Ikanos had approximately 29.7 million shares of common stock outstanding.

"We believe that this is an appropriate use of cash at this time as well as a benefit to our stockholders. Our strong balance sheet, coupled with operations that are not currently heavily dependent on cash, enables us to initiate this program if our stock remains at recent trading levels," said Mr. Ricci.

Repurchases under the new program may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with applicable legal requirements. The timing, amount and nature of the stock repurchases will be at the discretion of management, dependent upon market conditions, stock price, other priorities for cash investment, applicable securities laws and other factors. The plan does not obligate Ikanos to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.

Financial Highlights:

Revenue in the first quarter of 2008 was $29.7 million compared with revenue of $29.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 and revenue of $24.7 million for the first quarter of 2007.

Ikanos reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and additionally on a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP net income (loss), where applicable, excludes the income statement effects of stock-based compensation, and certain expenses resulting from acquisitions such as amortization of intangible assets, fair value adjustment of the acquired inventory and in-process research and development charges. Ikanos has provided these measures because management believes these additional non-GAAP measures are useful to investors for performing financial analysis as these additional measures highlight Ikanos' recurring operating results. Ikanos' management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate its operating performance and to plan for its future. However, non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures. For a reconciliation of GAAP versus non-GAAP financial information, please see the attached schedule.

GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2008 was $4.8 million, or $0.16 per share, on 29.5 million weighted average shares. This compares with a net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.14 per share, on 29.3 million weighted average shares in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and with a net loss of $9.1 million, or $0.32 per share, on 28.0 million weighted average shares in the first quarter of 2007.

Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2008 was $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, on 30.8 million weighted average shares. This compares with non-GAAP net income of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and with a non-GAAP net loss of $4.6 million, or $0.16 per share, in the first quarter of 2007.

Recent Highlights: — Ikanos Communications announced its latest product, the IFE-6. This is the industry's first single chip integrated front end that enables cost effective, low power, multi-mode triple play residential gateways. — Ikanos Communications Fusiv( R ) Vx180 VDSL2 and Vx170 FTTH gateway processors were awarded \"2007 Product of the Year - Best LAN Product\" by EN-Genius Network. — Ikanos Communications participated in the latest GPON interoperability event sponsored by ETSI, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute, and FSAN, the Full Service Access Network group. During this event Ikanos successfully interoperated its GPON ONT technology with major OLT vendors. Outlook: — Revenue is expected to be between $29 million and $31 million in the second quarter of 2008. — Non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be between 46% and 48% in the second quarter of 2008. GAAP gross margins in the second quarter of 2008 will be lower than non-GAAP gross margins, as they will include amortization of acquisition-related intangibles of approximately $0.8 million and charges related to stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FAS 123( R ) of approximately $0.1 million. — Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $14 to $15 million in the second quarter of 2008. GAAP operating expenses in the second quarter of 2008 will be higher, as they will include amortization of acquisition-related intangibles of $0.9 million and charges related to stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FAS 123( R ) of $2.8 to $3.3 million.
