ALAMEDA, Calif., Nov 05, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- UTStarcom, Inc. (Nasdaq: UTSI), today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20051013/SFTH063LOGO)
"The third quarter was a time of transition for our company as we worked aggressively to execute the corporate initiatives we announced in June," said Peter Blackmore, UTStarcom's chief executive officer and president. "We have implemented significant changes that enable us to invest in selective IP-based infrastructure products and key geographic regions. Meanwhile we continue to improve our operational structure so we can achieve our financial goals in 2010 and beyond."
GAAP Results
Net sales for the third quarter of 2009 were $70.5 million as compared to $180.6 million in the third quarter of 2008. The decline in sales primarily reflects the China market's continued wind down of the PAS infrastructure and handset businesses. Gross margins for the third quarter of 2009 were 34% as compared to 32% in the third quarter of 2008. The third quarter 2009 operating expenses were $58.0 million compared to $92.2 million a year ago. The reduction in expenses primarily reflects the benefits of ongoing restructuring and cost cutting initiatives. The operating loss for the third quarter of 2009 and 2008 was $33.8 million and $34.9 million, respectively.
The net loss for the third quarter of 2009 was $34.6 million, or ($0.27) per share, and includes $8.9 million in charges primarily related to the restructuring actions announced in June. The third quarter of 2008 net loss was $55.9 million, or ($0.45) per share.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2009 was $241.7 million compared to $313.9 million on December 31, 2008.
The following significant items affected the third quarter 2009 GAAP gross margins:
-- A benefit of $6.5 million primarily related to the sale of handsets to
PCD that were written down in prior periods.
The following significant items affected the third quarter 2009 GAAP operating expenses:
-- An $8.9 million restructuring charge primarily related to restructuring
initiatives announced in June 2009.
-- A $1.7 million loss related to the divestiture of Korea based handset
operations.
Pro Forma Non-GAAP Results
To enable a comparison of the financial results for the Company on a year-over-year basis the Company has prepared certain pro forma non-GAAP results which present the Company's results as if both the divestiture of PCD and the wind down of the Company's Korea-based handset operations were completed prior to each time-period presented.
The third quarter 2009 pro forma non-GAAP revenue and gross margins were $63 million and 35%, respectively. This compares to non-GAAP revenue and gross margins of $146 million and 35% in the third quarter of 2008. The decrease in pro forma non-GAAP revenues primarily reflects the expected ongoing decline in our PAS businesses. The third quarter 2009 pro forma non-GAAP operating expenses were $57 million compared to $82 million reflecting the benefits of ongoing restructuring and cost cutting initiatives. The third quarter 2009 pro forma non-GAAP operating loss was $35 million compared to $31 million a year ago.

Discussion of Pro Forma Non-GAAP Financial Measures
On July 1, 2008, the Company divested its Personal Communications Division ("PCD") which has historically represented a significant portion of the Company's revenues. On December 18, 2008, the Company announced actions to wind down its Korea-based handset manufacturing operations. To enable a comparison of the financial results for the Company on a year-over-year basis the Company has prepared certain pro forma non-GAAP results which present the Company's results as if both the divestiture of PCD and the wind down of the Company's Korea-based handset operations were completed prior to each time period presented. The reconciliation between GAAP and these pro forma non-GAAP financial measures is provided at the end of this press release and on the Company's website.
In order to provide both management and investors with a more complete understanding of UTStarcom's underlying results and trends in light of the PCD divestiture and wind down of its Korea-based handset manufacturing operations, UTStarcom has prepared reconciliation tables for comparing GAAP results to non-GAAP measures of revenues, gross profits, operating expenses and operating profit (loss), along with an abbreviated, pro forma non-GAAP profit and loss statement based on these non-GAAP measures. The pro forma non-GAAP measures present the Company's results as if both the July 2008 divestiture of the Company's Personal Communications Division and the wind down of the Company's Korea-based handset operations were completed prior to each time period presented.
In addition, these pro forma non-GAAP measures are among the information management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP REVENUE TO PRO FORMA NON-GAAP REVENUE

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on
a GAAP basis, UTStarcom uses certain pro forma non-GAAP measures which are
adjusted to present those metrics as if both PCD had been divested and the
Korea handsets business had been wound down prior to each time period
reflected below. We believe this enables year over year comparisons to
our recent financial results. These adjustments to our GAAP results are
made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more
complete understanding of UTStarcom's underlying results and trends. In
addition, these adjusted pro forma non-GAAP results are among the
information management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of
future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not
