AURORA, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 糖心vlog下载. (NASDAQ: WSTL), a leading provider of telecommunications equipment for wireline, wireless and home networks, today announced results for its fiscal 2012 third quarter ended December 31, 2011. Consolidated revenue from continuing operations for the quarter was $14.4 million, down 62% from $37.9 million in the fiscal third quarter of the prior year. The decline resulted from the previously reported sale of most of the assets of the Company鈥檚 Customer Networking Solutions (CNS) division in the fiscal first quarter and from continued weakness in demand in the OSPlant Systems (OSP) division during the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

Net income in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for the fiscal third quarter was $19.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.9听million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the same quarter of the prior year. Income tax expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 reflected an income tax rate of 37%. Income tax expense in the prior-year third quarter, which preceded the Company鈥檚 release of valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, reflected an income tax rate of 0%. Net income also includes the results from the discontinued operations of Conference Plus (CP). Adjusting for income tax effects and discontinued operations, non-GAAP net income for the fiscal third quarter of 2012 was a loss of $0.5听million, or a loss of $0.01 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.2听million, or $0.02 per share, in the prior-year third quarter.

As of December听31,听2011, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its CP division. As a consequence of this sale, the Company recorded a gain of $32.8 million before taxes, or $20.0听million after taxes, and CP is now reported as a discontinued operation. Ultimate net cash proceeds from the sale, after associated costs and cash tax obligations, are estimated to be $37.7听million.

During the fiscal third quarter, the Company also repurchased 1.8 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $3.7听million. As of December听31,听2011, there was $17.3听million remaining for share repurchases under the Company鈥檚 board authorization. Total cash and short-term investments at December听31,听2011 were $149.4听million, up $38.2听million from the total on September听30,听2011, primarily due to the sale of CP.

鈥淗aving completed the strategic divestiture of two divisions, 糖心vlog下载 Technologies is now positioned as a pure play company focused on the delivery of carrier-class telecommunications products,鈥� said Chairman and CEO Rick Gilbert. 鈥淲e feel our markets are attractive, even though we have experienced some recent softness. We intend to aggressively build upon our wireline strength and expand into wireless opportunities via organic product development, strategic partnerships and acquisitions.鈥�

Fiscal Third Quarter Division and Consolidated Operating Results

Revenue in the OSPlant Systems division was $7.7 million in the fiscal third quarter, down 35% compared to $11.8听million in the same quarter of the prior year. The decline reflected weak demand as a result of severe customer constraints on spending. The Company expects spending constraints to ease during in the fiscal fourth quarter, although the technology shift from T1 to Ethernet backhaul of cellular traffic is likely to continue to negatively influence revenues. Fiscal third quarter gross profit was $2.7听million, compared to $5.1 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Gross margins were 34.5%, compared to 43.2% in the prior-year quarter. The lower gross profit and gross margins reflected lower revenues and lower overhead absorption. Operating expenses increased $0.3听million, reflecting primarily OSP鈥檚 ongoing development of new products, such as its Ethernet-based products for cellular backhaul, and reallocation of shared costs following the Company鈥檚 CNS sale transaction. Fiscal third quarter 2012 operating loss for OSP was $0.6听million, compared to operating income of $2.1听million in the same quarter of the prior year.

The CNS division reported revenue of $6.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to $26.2听million in the same quarter of the prior year. The decline is a result of the CNS sale transaction and the wind-down of sales to the division鈥檚 remaining customer. That wind-down is now essentially complete. CNS gross profit was $1.6 million, compared to $4.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Gross margin was 24.0% for the third quarter, up from 18.1% in the same quarter of the prior year. Gross margin benefited from sales of ancillary products and services. Operating expenses declined to $0.9 million for the quarter, compared to $4.1听million in the prior-year quarter, primarily as a result of the CNS sale transaction. The division has continued spending toward the completion of its Homecloud project. CNS operating profit was $0.7 million in the quarter, compared to $0.6 million in the prior-year quarter.

As noted, the CP division is now reported as a discontinued operation. Income from discontinued operations includes three items that totaled $33.4听million before taxes, or $20.3听million after taxes. On a pre-tax basis, these items included a $32.8听million gain on the sale of CP and operating income of $0.6听million prior to its sale, which includes $0.6听million of costs related to the sale transaction.

On a consolidated basis, reflecting the divisional results discussed above, fiscal third quarter revenue of $14.4听million was down 62%, compared to $37.9听million in the same quarter of the prior year. Gross profit was $4.3 million, a reduction of $5.6 million compared to the prior year third quarter, and gross margins were 29.6%, compared to 25.9% in the same quarter of the prior year. Consolidated operating expenses decreased to $5.1 million, compared to $7.8听million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income from continuing operations was a loss of $0.8 million, compared to income of $2.0 million in the same quarter of the prior year.

The Company conforms to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the preparation of its financial statements. This schedule reconciles the Company's GAAP net income to adjusted net income on a non-GAAP basis. The Company believes that these non-GAAP results provide meaningful supplemental information to investors that are indicative of the Company's core performance and that they facilitate comparison of results across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's GAAP results.

(1) On March 17, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell certain assets and transfer certain liabilities of the CNS segment to NETGEAR, Inc. This transaction closed on April 15, 2011. The adjustments remove this benefit, other related costs and associated tax impacts.

Income taxes in fiscal year 2011 were reduced by the release each quarter of valuation allowance related to net operating loss carryforwards. The adjustment eliminates the benefit, which did not recur in fiscal year 2012.
