Xtera Announces Fiscal Second Quarter Financial Results


DALLAS, TEXAS, USA, May 16, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xtera Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:XCOM), a provider of high-capacity optical transport solutions, today announced financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2016. Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $17.1 million, an increase of 21.0% compared to $14.1 million for the fiscal second quarter of 2015.

“Customer interest in our Optima platform remains strong, especially in the subsea market, where we are continuing to respond to a steady stream of requests for proposals. The global build-out of data centers, coupled with rapid deployment of cloud-based services, and the growing recognition of the advantages that Xtera’s solutions bring to the market are contributing to this increased level of RFPs,” reported Jon Hopper, Xtera’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

The company's GAAP net loss for the fiscal second quarter of 2016 was $(6.6) million, or $(0.38) per basic and fully diluted share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $(2.2) million, or $(3.08) per basic and fully diluted share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2015. The company's non-GAAP net loss for the fiscal second quarter of 2016 was $(6.1) million, or $(0.35) per basic and fully diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $(1.9) million, or $(2.93) per basic and fully diluted share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2015.

A reconciliation of our fiscal second quarter 2016 operating results from GAAP to non-GAAP is provided below:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release to supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted income (loss) per share. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance the reader's understanding of the Company's operating performance as they primarily exclude certain non-cash charges for stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets which the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures used in this press release provide investors with important perspectives into the Company's ongoing business performance and management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate financial results and to establish operational goals. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures is not meant to be a substitute for results presented in accordance with GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with those GAAP results. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to the most directly comparable GAAP results is provided in this press release. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
