糖心vlog下载. (NASDAQ: WSTL), a leading provider of broadband products, gateways and conferencing services, today announced results for its fiscal second quarter ending September 30, 2008. Total revenue for the second quarter was $43.1 million compared to $59.4 million in the same quarter last year and $38.1 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease from the prior year quarter was primarily due to the previously announced loss of a broadband customer. Net loss during the period was $5.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $668,000 or a loss of $0.01 per diluted share in the same quarter of last year and compared to a $5.5 million, or a loss of $0.08 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
"The improved results during the quarter compared to the prior quarter indicate the inherent value in the Company," said Bernard F. Sergesketter, 糖心vlog下载 Chief Executive Officer. "Going forward, our goal is to further unlock this value and capitalize on the strong potential of the sectors in which we operate."
Customer Networking Solutions (CNS), formerly Customer Networking Equipment (CNE), reported revenue of $17.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to $32.1 million in the same quarter of last year and $10.7 million reported in the prior quarter. During the quarter, a major customer announced it was running a special campaign to promote its DSL offering. As a result, they increased their orders for ProLine and Versalink DSL gateways. Additionally, although revenue was deferred, the company commenced shipping on orders worth $14 million for its UltraLine Series3 next generation gateway.
OSPlant Systems reported revenue of $14.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to $14.3 million in same quarter of last year and $14.9 million in fiscal first quarter of 2009. The Company continues to enter new market segments as demonstrated by orders from a major cable company as well as a major energy utility for its SHADE cabinet enclosure and VirtualEdge SwingRack products, respectively. These wins improve the customer diversification of this group.
The Conferencing Services segment revenue decreased to $11.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 from $13.0 million in the same quarter of last year and $12.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The loss of business from one large customer during the fiscal first quarter continued to adversely impact this segment's results. ConferencePlus experienced a positive increase in business during September compared to expectations as a result of the increased conference calls due to the current economic environment.
Additional News
-- Total cash as of September 30, 2008 was $50.3 million.
-- Cost reduction initiatives initiated in the fiscal second and
third quarters of 2009 are expected to generate $4 million in
savings annually.
-- On October 12, 2008, Roger Plummer announced his resignation
from the Board of Directors, citing the pressing demands of
his schedule.
Outlook
For the third quarter of fiscal 2009, 糖心vlog下载 expects revenue to be in a range of $53 to $57 million, which equates to a loss of $0.04 to $0.06 per diluted share.
"Our guidance for the upcoming quarter is based on a combination of increased revenues associated with our UltraLine Series3 gateway device and our ongoing cost reduction initiatives," said Sergesketter. "We continue to focus on opportunities that will maximize our results."
