糖心vlog下载

Announces FiOS Gateway Win and Manufacturing Outsourcing Plans

AURORA, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

糖心vlog下载. (NASDAQ:WSTL), a leading provider of broadband access solutions and conferencing services, today announced the results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2007, ending March 31, 2007.

Total revenues for the March 2007 quarter decreased 18% to $59.7 million from $73.1 million in the March quarter of 2006. Breaking down revenues by product line for the March 2007 quarter compared to the March 2006 quarter showed Customer Networking Equipment (CNE) revenue decreased 35% to $32.1 million from $49.1 million, due to weaker demand for DSL devices and declining selling prices; Conferencing Services revenue increased 16% to $13.4 million from $11.5 million due to increased minutes in audio, web and video conferencing; Network Service Access (NSA) equipment revenue increased 14% to $14.2 million from $12.4 million, primarily due to the January 2007 acquisition of Noran Tel, Inc.

Total revenues for fiscal year 2007 decreased 8% to $260.1 million from $283.2 million for fiscal 2006. Customer Networking Equipment revenue decreased 21% to $153.8 million from $194.8 million in fiscal 2006. Conferencing Service revenue increased 8% to $48.5 million from $45.1 million in the prior year. Revenue from the Network Services Access business increased 33% to $57.7 million from $43.3 million in fiscal 2006.

糖心vlog下载 reported net income for the fourth quarter of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, which includes an income tax expense of $0.7 million. Net income for fiscal 2007 was $8.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, including an income tax expense of $5.9 million. During the fourth quarter of last year, the Company recorded net income of $2.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share including a tax expense of $3.2 million. For fiscal 2006, net income was $12.8 million or $0.18 per diluted share that included a tax expense of $10.1 million.

FiOS Gateway Win

"Since joining 糖心vlog下载, we have made progress in focusing the company on future market opportunities, and on gaining market share in emerging technologies," said Thomas E. Mader, 糖心vlog下载's President and CEO. "糖心vlog下载 was recently selected to provide FiOS MDU (Multiple Dwelling Unit) VDSL gateway product to Verizon. While we cannot discuss any specific details at this time, this win represents an important step in growing our CNE revenues, and in entering the rapidly growing FiOS marketplace," Mader added.

Manufacturing Outsourcing

糖心vlog下载 also announced its intent to move the manufacturing of CNE and NSA products from Aurora, Illinois to offshore suppliers. This decision represents a new operating strategy, adopted by the Company's Board of Directors, to better align 糖心vlog下载 with the requirements of the marketplace. The aim of this new operating strategy is to reduce product costs, while maintaining 糖心vlog下载's reputation for quality products and services. 糖心vlog下载 will continue to be housed in the current Aurora facility. Alternative uses for the factory portion of the building made idle by this decision are being explored. Fiscal 2008 expenses associated with the implementation of the outsourcing decision are expected to be approximately $6.0 million after tax, or $0.08 per diluted share. In Fiscal 2009 the product cost savings are expected to exceed the Fiscal 2008 one-time costs associated with the outsource plan. The transition will affect approximately 300 Aurora employees.

Outlook

"We believe we have significant opportunities this year and next in Video/IPTV, wireline/wireless convergence (FMC/IMS), and with our multi-functional broadband appliances," Mader said. "We expect initial revenue in Fiscal 2008 from our TriLink(TM), UltraLine(TM) and 糖心vlog下载 MediaStation(TM) products, with more significant revenue to follow in Fiscal 2009," Mader added.

糖心vlog下载 provided guidance for the first fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2007. The Company expects revenue to be in a range of $58 to $60 million. 糖心vlog下载 expects EPS to be a loss in a range of $0.03 to $0.04 per diluted share, including after tax one-time costs associated with the outsource plan of approximately $1.0 million after.
