WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass., March 22, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cyalume Technologies Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:CYLU) today announced results for the full year ending December 31, 2009. Cyalume reported a net loss of $33.6 million on revenues of $32.2 million. The net loss was primarily attributable to goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges. Cyalume reports adjusted net income, which is net income before amortization and impairment charges, of $1.4 million on revenues of $32.2 million, compared to adjusted net income of $5.5 million on revenues of $40.8 million in 2008. The Company reports adjusted EBITDA, which is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, foreign currency gains and losses, and certain one-time gains or expenses of $6.2 million compared to $13.2 million in 2008. Adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA are important measures because they present a view of our performance on an ongoing basis without regard to certain one-time gains or expenses such as certain lawsuit settlement gains and corresponding legal fees incurred and impairment charges. Comparable GAAP amounts and a reconciliation to GAAP net income are shown later in this release.
For the three-months ending December 31, 2009 Cyalume reported adjusted net income of $0.1 million from revenue of $7.8 million compared to adjusted net income of $1.0 million from revenue of $9.1 million in 2008. Adjusted EBITDA for the period was $1.7 million versus $2.8 million in 2008.
Derek Dunaway, Cyalume's President and CEO, said, "In the fourth quarter we continued to see softening of our commercial and U.S. military business. International revenue was in line with 2008. Our ammunition business continues to thrive with the fourth quarter being the best in our history with nearly $2 million in ammunition revenue. Though 2009 was a disappointing year overall, we are highly encouraged by the growth we have seen in our ammunition business, which increased threefold from 2008. We have also laid the groundwork for additional revenue streams through our research and development work and were able to strengthen our intellectual property while doing so. We feel the challenges we faced in 2009 are behind us and we are poised for a strong 2010. "
The consolidated statements of operations included in our Form 10-K and contained herein include the consolidated statements of operations of Cyalume Technologies Holdings, Inc. ("Cyalume") for 2009 and 2008. For 2008, this includes the operations of Vector Intersect Security Acquisition Corp. (now Cyalume) for the period from January 1, 2008 to December 19, 2008 as a special-purpose acquisition company with no business operations, plus the operations of Cyalume for the period from December 20, 2008 to December 31, 2008 as a manufacturer and seller of chemiluminescent products. The 2009 statement includes a full year of operations. Since the significant changes all relate to our transition from a special-purpose acquisition company to a manufacturer, we do not feel that the above disclosure is by itself adequate for investors in understanding the business.
To assist investors in better understanding the changes in our business for the year ended December 31, 2009, we are presenting here combined financial statements in which the 2008 operations of Cyalume Technologies, Inc., the Predecessor ("CTI") for the period from January 1, 2008 to December 19, 2008 are combined with the 2008 results of Cyalume (which include the operations of CTI for the period from December 20, 2008 to December 31, 2008) to show a full year of manufacturing and selling activity. We then compare this combined basis 2008 statement to the 2009 results, which also contain 12 months of CTI's manufacturing and selling activities. The following combined statement of operations for 2008 is the mathematical addition of our 2008 audited financial statements and the audited financial statements of the Predecessor for the period from January 1, 2008 to December 19, 2008, both of which appear in the Form 10-K audited financial statements.

Results of Operations - Adjusted Pro Forma Basis
Adjusted pro forma net income is an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this information. We define adjusted pro forma net income as the pro forma net income of Cyalume excluding the effects of the purchase on CTI. The adjusted pro forma net income measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income. Adjusted pro forma net income is an important internal measurement for us. We measure the performance of the overall Company on this basis. The following are examples of how we use adjusted pro forma net income:
-- Senior management receives a monthly analysis of our operating results that is prepared on an adjusted pro forma net income basis; -- Our annual budgets for 2010 & 2009 are prepared on an adjusted pro forma net income basis -- Certain annual compensation computations, including annual cash bonuses, are calculated in part on an adjusted pro forma net income basis.
Despite the importance of this measure to management in goal setting and performance measurement, we stress that adjusted pro forma net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that has no standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP and therefore, has limits in its usefulness to investors. Due to its non-standardized definition, adjusted pro forma net income (unlike U.S. GAAP net income) may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Adjusted pro forma net income is presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income (in thousands) For the For the Year Ended Year Ended Dec. 31, Dec. 31, 2009 2008 ---------- ---------- GAAP net income $ (33,622) $ 576 Pro forma adjustment: CTI net income -- 3,406 ---------- ---------- Adjusted pro forma net income $ (33,622) $ 3,982 ---------- ----------
As we had no material business operations prior to the acquisition, we believe that the operations of CTI are of most interest to our investors. As the full year 2008 operations of CTI are not presented in the audited financial statements, we are presenting a section below based on adjusted pro forma net income. Except for results occurring after the date of the acquisition, combining each Company's results in this manner does not reflect the effects of a full year of: (a) purchase accounting resulting from the acquisition or (b) other pro forma adjustments that could have been used to show how results may have appeared if that purchase accounting was applied as of January 1, 2008. Adjusted pro forma information is useful as it assists management in understanding our performance over the last two years, which would not be possible by reviewing the U.S. GAAP information. Investors may find it useful for this purpose as well. The adjusted pro forma information should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP, since it does not include the effects of purchase accounting or pro-forma adjustments. Adjusted pro forma information, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA (a Non-GAAP Financial Measure)
Cyalume defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, foreign currency gains or losses and one time income or expense items. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for establishing internal budgets, goals and performance bonuses. Internal financial reports including those provided to the Board of Directors, focus on Adjusted EBITDA. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily an indicator of overall cash flows of Cyalume, management reviews capital budgets and cash flow forecasts in parallel with Adjusted EBITDA analysis. Because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and one-time income or expense items, Cyalume considers this financial measure an important indicator of Cyalume's liquidity, operational strength and performance. Investors may find Adjusted EBITDA useful as it illustrates underlying operating trends in Cyalume's business.
In addition, components of Adjusted EBITDA are a key component in the determination of our compliance with certain covenants under our credit agreements. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, cash flows, or other consolidated income or cash flow data presented in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of our liquidity or financial condition. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as discussed may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The use of Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental liquidity measure is useful as it assists management in understanding and evaluating the Company's capacity, excluding the impact of interest, taxes, and non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, for servicing debt and other cash needs, prior to our consideration of the impacts of other potential sources and uses of cash, such as working capital items. Investors may find it useful for these purposes as well. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, since it omits the impact of interest, taxes and changes in working capital that use or provide cash (such as receivables, payables and inventories) as well as the sources or uses of cash associated with changes in other balance sheet items (such as long-term loss accruals and deferred items). Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for the replacement of the assets being depreciated and amortized, which assets will often have to be replaced in the future. Further, Adjusted EBITDA, because it also does not reflect the impact of debt service, income taxes, cash dividends, capital expenditures and other cash commitments, does not represent how much discretionary cash we have available for other purposes. Nonetheless, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure expected by and useful to our investors, rating agencies and the banking community in the analysis of a Company's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and otherwise meet cash needs, respectively. Cyalume also evaluates Adjusted EBITDA because it is clear that movements in these non-GAAP measures impact the Company's ability to attract financing. Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
