HILLSBORO, Ore. -- Radisys Corporation (RSYS), a leading provider of embedded wireless infrastructure solutions for telecom, aerospace, defense and public safety applications, announced revenues for the third quarter of $63.7 million and a GAAP net loss of $35.1 million or $1.28 per share. Included in the GAAP net loss is a $29.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge resulting from the recent reduction in the Company's market capitalization. Third quarter non-GAAP net loss was $3.4 million or $0.12 per diluted share. Third quarter non-GAAP results exclude the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, amortization of acquired intangible assets, goodwill impairment charges, stock-based compensation, restructuring and acquisition-related charges and non-cash tax expense. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is located in the tables below.

Commenting on the third quarter results, Brian Bronson, Radisys' Chief Executive Officer stated, “Our third quarter revenue, while disappointing, did meet the revised expectations we set on October 1st. The macro telecommunications spending environment remains constrained and impacted our third quarter revenue. Despite the soft demand environment, the market reaction we've seen for our products has resulted in strong design wins over the last fifteen months. Specifically, third quarter design wins are estimated to result in greater than $90 million in revenue over the next five years and included:

  • Security, Femto and LTE Gateway design wins. These gateway solutions combine our unique telecom hardware and software expertise, and truly differentiate us from our traditional hardware and software only competitors.

  • The market response to our next-generation ATCA based MPX-12000 continues to exceed our expectations and has resulted in a growing funnel of opportunities. Last week, the MPX-12000 was selected as the overall winner in the Best of 4G World Awards, Mobile Broadband Technology category. Also, during the quarter we shipped our first units to a Tier 1 customer for use in enabling video and voice content over next generation LTE networks and expect the pace of shipments to accelerate in the coming quarters.

  • Our first deep packet inspection solution design win with the RMS-220, our new network appliance, the industry's leading performance platform with Intel Data Plane Developer Kit (DPDK).



We continue to believe our growing design win portfolio and unique combination of hardware and software capabilities position us exceptionally well for improved financial performance when the macro telecommunications demand environment improves.”

Third Quarter Financial Highlights



  • Revenue was $63.7 million. ATCA and Software-Solutions revenues were $39.3 million, representing 62% of total revenue.

  • GAAP gross margin was 27.7%. Non-GAAP gross margin was 31.6%. An unfavorable revenue mix from sequentially lower Software-Solutions revenue and an unfavorable mix within ATCA products temporarily reduced overall gross margin.

  • Total GAAP Research and Development (R&D) and Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses were $23.6 million and non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses were $22.8 million, representing a $0.5 million sequential reduction when compared to the second quarter.

  • Operating expense included a $29.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge. The Company is considered a single reporting unit from an accounting perspective and the recent decline in its stock price triggered an impairment analysis of the Company's goodwill. As a result of this analysis, it was concluded that the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets was greater than its current market value leaving no value for an allocation to goodwill. The Company was required to write-off its entire goodwill balance.

  • Cash used in operating activities was $0.6 million as later than normal shipments grew accounts receivable, despite the reduction in overall revenue levels.

  • The Company repurchased $10.1 million of its convertible debt at a modest discount, leaving a balance of $16.9 million due in February of 2013 and $18.0 million due in February of 2015.

  • Cash and cash equivalents were $31.8 million at the end of the third quarter.



Fourth Quarter 2012 Outlook



  • Revenue: Fourth quarter revenue is expected to be between $61 million and $69 million.

  • Gross Margin: Fourth quarter non-GAAP gross margin rate is expected to increase to approximately 33% of sales.

  • Operating Expenses: Fourth quarter non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses are expected to decrease sequentially by approximately $1.0 million from third quarter levels.

  • EPS: Fourth quarter non-GAAP net income is expected to be between a loss of $0.06 per diluted share and breakeven.

  • Operating Cash Flow: The Company expects to generate positive operating cash flow in the fourth quarter.



Mr. Bronson continued, “The Board and I are 100% aligned on a fundamental belief that the Company needs focus. This does not mean we are going to take another year to define a new strategy or address new markets with different products. In several areas, we already have market leading products. Now is the time to focus our investments to ensure the success of those products that create the most long-term differentiation and value for our shareholders and enable a sustainable return to non-GAAP profitability and cash generation.”
