UTStarcom Releases Financial Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2010

BEIJING, March 11, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- UTStarcom, Inc. ("UTStarcom" or "the Company") (Nasdaq: UTSI), a leading provider of interactive, IP-based network solutions in iDTV, IPTV, Internet TV and Broadband for cable and telecom operators, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2010 and for the full year ended December 31, 2010.

"I am pleased we exceeded our adjusted revenue target for the year and had positive operational cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2010," said Jack Lu, President and CEO of UTStarcom. "Many of the changes made during the year have begun to pay off and we believe these efforts will allow us to return to profitability."

Fourth Quarter 2010 Financial Results

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2010 were $76.1 million as compared to $116.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2010 was 11% as compared to 30% in the fourth quarter of 2009. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2010 included the following significant items: $3.3 million loss contract reserve and $9.9 million inventory write-down. Gross profit was $8.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $35.0 million in the corresponding period of 2009.

Fourth quarter 2010 GAAP operating expenses were $34.7 million compared to $75.6 million in the same period of 2009.

The GAAP net loss attributable to UTStarcom for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $23.0 million, or a loss of $0.15 per share, as compared to a loss of $39.4 million, or a loss of $0.31 per share in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Full Year 2010 Financial Results

Net sales for the year 2010 exceeded the Company's adjusted target of $ 270-280 million mainly due to an increase in multimedia product related revenue as telecom operators strove to improve their infrastructure and completed large contracts earlier than expected.

Net sales for the year 2010 were $ 291.5 million, as compared to $ 386.3 million last year. This year over year decrease was mainly attributable to the wind-down of the Company's handset business.

Gross margins for the year 2010 were 24% as compared to 17% in 2009. Gross margins for the year 2010 included the following significant items: $14.6 million inventory write-down, $6.0 million decrease in cost of sales resulting from the reversal of an accrued third party commission liability as a result of expiration of the statute of limitations and $2.6 million in loss contract reserve including adjustments from the actualization of estimated costs related to certain fixed price contracts.

Gross profit for the year 2010 was $70.2 million as compared to $65.0 million for the year 2009.

GAAP operating expenses for the year 2010 were $144.0 million compared to $283.7 million in the same period of 2009.

The GAAP net loss attributable to UTStarcom for the full year 2010 was $65.1 million or a loss of $0.48 per share, as compared to a loss of $225.7 million, or $1.77 per share in the prior year.

Net cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2010 was $352.1 million compared to $266.9 million on December 31, 2009.

Non-GAAP Results

To enable a comparison of the financial results for the Company on a year-over-year basis the Company has prepared certain non-GAAP results which present the Company's results as if the wind-down of the Company's Korea-based handset operations were completed as of the beginning of the earliest time-period presented.

The fourth quarter of 2010 non-GAAP revenue was $76 million, non-GAAP gross margin was 9% and non-GAAP operating loss was $28 million. This compares to the fourth quarter of 2009 non-GAAP revenue of $104 million, non-GAAP gross margin of 32% and non-GAAP operating loss of $43 million.

The full year 2010 non-GAAP revenue, gross margin and operating loss were $288 million, 23% and $76 million, respectively. This compares to the full year 2009 non-GAAP revenue, gross margin and operating loss of $330 million, 26% and $192 million, respectively. The decrease in non-GAAP revenue reflects the expected zero demand for the PAS infrastructure products, the exit from certain low margin Broadband products, and minimal handset sales due to the wind-down of the Company's China handset business.

Fourth Quarter 2010 Highlights

-- Net cash provided in operating activities was $5.2 million in the fourth
quarter of 2010 compared to net cash used in operating activities of
$12.4 million in the third quarter of 2010.

-- The Company improved its corporate structure to better support its new
strategy and better align the Company for sales and marketing
performance.

-- The Company closed the acquisition of Stage Smart, which will enable it
to generate revenue by providing technology and operational support for
Internet TV services.

2011 Outlook

-- The company is aiming to achieve total revenue for the year in a range
of $300-320 million, which includes PAS deferred revenue through the end
of 2011 at the rate of $23 million per quarter.

-- UTStarcom targets to generate 10% of total sales in 2011 from its new
Operational Support Service business.

-- The Company is targeting annualized operating expenses of less than $100
million.

-- UTStarcom is committed to breaking even in 2011 on a full year basis.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this earnings release, UTStarcom refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between non-GAAP and GAAP measures can be found in the accompanying tables. UTStarcom believes that, while these non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP results, they provide a basis for evaluating the Company's planning and forecasting of future periods. These non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure as required under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

On July 31, 2009, the Company divested its Korea-based handset manufacturing operations known as UTStarcom Korea Technologies Limited. To enable a comparison of the financial results for the Company on a year-over-year and a quarter-over-quarter basis the Company has prepared certain non-GAAP results which present the Company's results as if the wind down of the Company's Korea-based handset operations were completed prior to each time period presented. The reconciliation between GAAP and these non-GAAP financial measures is provided at the end of this press release and on the Company's website.

These statements are forward-looking in nature and subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. These include risks and uncertainties regard the ability of the Company to realize anticipated results of operational improvements, the Company's ability to integrate and capitalize on the opportunities by the acquisition of Stage Smart, revenues and expenses under its new business model, and executing on its business plan and managing regulatory matters as well as risk factors identified in its latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is in a period of significant transition and in the conduct of its business is exposed to additional risks as a result.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP REVENUE TO NON-GAAP REVENUE

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements
presented on a GAAP basis, UTStarcom uses certain non-GAAP measures
which are adjusted to present those metrics as if the Korea handsets
business had been wound down prior to each time period reflected
below. We believe this enables year over year comparisons to our
recent financial results. These adjustments to our GAAP results are
made with the intent of providing both management and investors a
more complete understanding of UTStarcom's underlying results and
trends. In addition, these adjusted non-GAAP results are among
the information management uses as a basis for our planning and
forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional
information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for results prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States.

ABBREVIATED NON-GAAP P&L STATEMENT (a)
($ in millions)
(Unaudited)

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements
presented on a GAAP basis, UTStarcom uses certain non-GAAP measures
which are adjusted to present those metrics as if the Korea handsets
business had been wound down prior to each time period reflected
below. We believe this enables year over year comparisons to our
recent financial results. These adjustments to our GAAP results are
made with the intent of providing both management and investors a
more complete understanding of UTStarcom's underlying results and
trends. In addition, these adjusted non-GAAP results are among the
information management uses as a basis for our planning and
forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional
information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for results prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States.
