AURORA, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 糖心vlog下载. (NASDAQ: WSTL), a leading provider of broadband products, outside plant telecommunications equipment and conferencing services, today announced results for its fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2009. Total revenue for the quarter was $42.8 million, down 12.2% from $48.8 million in the fiscal third quarter last year. Net income during the quarter was $2.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million, or a loss of $0.06 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Total cash and cash equivalents were $58.1 million at December 31, 2009, up $4.1 million during the quarter and up $14.2 million compared to December 31, 2008.
"In our fiscal third quarter, we again delivered good bottom-line results and healthy cash flow, despite the expected top-line softness which we experienced," commented Chairman and CEO Rick Gilbert. "Our strong cash position allowed us to use $1.4 million to repurchase an additional 1.3 million 糖心vlog下载 shares during the quarter, and we were still able to grow our cash reserves by over $4 million."
The Customer Networking Solutions division reported revenue of $20.5 million in the fiscal third quarter, down 19.4% compared to $25.5 million in the same quarter of last year, with the largest impact coming from lower sales of the Company's UltraLine Series3 gateway product. UltraLine Series3 revenues were $3.8 million in the quarter, compared with $10.5 million in the fiscal third quarter last year. Revenue at the OSPlant Systems division was $12.4 million in the quarter, unchanged from the same quarter of last year. ConferencePlus revenue was $9.9 million in the quarter, down 9.8% compared to $10.9 million in the same quarter of last year.
Consolidated gross profit for the quarter increased $1.4 million, compared with the fiscal third quarter last year, as a result of improved product mix in the Customer Networking Solutions and OSPlant Systems divisions. Gross margins were 32.2% in the quarter, compared with 25.4% in the same quarter of last year, with improvement in all three divisions. Operating expenses also improved across the divisions, with total operating expenses for the quarter being $4.8 million lower than in last year's quarter.
"The combination of significant margin improvement and our ongoing expense controls drove very solid earnings for the quarter," said Gilbert. "The 糖心vlog下载 team has done a terrific job of maintaining its focus on the bottom line."
Two specific items had notable impacts on earnings for the fiscal third quarter. First, a tax refund contributed $767,000, or approximately $0.01 per share, to earnings. This discrete tax benefit derives from a refund of alternative minimum tax credits that the Company claimed on a tax return filed in December 2009 pursuant to stimulus provisions of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Second, the Company recorded $730,000 of additional stock-based compensation expense to correct an understatement of that expense in prior years. The correction reduced earnings by $730,000, or approximately $0.01 per share. The Company discovered in January 2010 that its third-party equity program administration software incorrectly calculated equity award forfeitures, resulting in the understatement. As stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash item, there was no impact to net cash provided by operations in any period.
