Sandvine Reports Q3 2011 Results
(firmenpresse) - WATERLOO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 10/06/11 -- Sandvine, (TSX: SVC)(AIM: SAND) a leading provider of intelligent network policy control solutions for fixed and mobile operators, today reported that revenue grew to a record $25.6 million in its third quarter of 2011. Revenue was up by 7% compared to the previous quarter (Q2 2011: $24.0 million) and up by 10% compared to Q3 2010 (Q3 2010: $23.3 million). The Company recorded GAAP net income of $522,000 (non-GAAP(1) net income: $1.5 million). All results are reported in U.S. dollars.
The DSL and wireless markets, which represented 48% and 32% of revenues respectively (cable: 18%), continue to fuel Sandvine's revenue growth. During the third quarter, the Company also achieved record revenue of $10.7 million from the EMEA region, which represented 42% of revenue (NA: 33%; CALA: 13%; APAC: 12%).
Sandvine added 12 new service provider customers in the third quarter, including eight wireless customers. Year-to-date, Sandvine has added 37 customers (including 19 wireless customers), well ahead of the 26 total customers added in FY 2010.
"In a given quarter approximately 80% of our order value typically comes from follow-on business from existing customers. The accelerated pace of new customer wins this year gives us an excellent opportunity to drive follow-on business in the future," said Dave Caputo, Sandvine's President and CEO.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (All amounts are in U.S. dollars)
Sandvine's cash, cash equivalents and short term investments balance at the end of the second quarter remained strong at $75.1 million, which was down from comparable periods primarily due to changes in working capital and capital asset additions.
Other highlights of Sandvine's third quarter include:
- Launched a Real-Time Entertainment Dashboard for its Network Analytics product;
- Released version 4 of its Usage Management product;
- Demonstrated LTE-readiness through work with four existing customers on the LTE path.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain statements in this press release which are not historical facts constitute forward-looking statements or forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws ("forward-looking statements"). Statements related to Sandvine's projected revenues, earnings, growth rates, revenue mix and product plans are forward-looking statements as are any statements relating to future events, conditions or circumstances. The use of terms such as "may", "anticipated", "expected", "projected", "targeting", "estimate", "intend" and similar terms are intended to assist in identification of these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are not promises or guarantees of future performance and involve both known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results, performance, achievements or developments of the Company to differ materially from the results, performance, achievements or developments expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management's current plans, estimates, projections, beliefs and opinions, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements should assumptions related to these plans, estimates, projections, beliefs and opinions change.
Many factors could cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from the results, performance, achievements or developments expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, each of the following factors, and those factors which are further discussed in the Company's Annual Information Form ("AIF"), a copy of which is available on SEDAR at .
- The Company's revenues may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year depending upon sales cycles, customer demand and the timing of customer purchase decisions;
- The Company's gross margins may fluctuate from period to period depending upon a variety of factors including product mix in the quarter, competitive pricing pressures and the level of sales generated through indirect channels;
- The Company is dependent upon and expects to continue to derive a large percentage of its revenue from both a small number of key customers and key reseller partners, none of whom are bound to any fixed purchase commitment or exclusivity obligations and could change their buying patterns and/or source of supply at any time, which could have a material impact on the Company's revenues. The Company's reseller partners may offer their own products which are competitive with the Company's products;
- The Company faces intense competition in markets where there are typically several different competing technologies and rapid technological changes. The Company faces the risk of emergence of new technologies that may be either competitive to those of the Company or that change the requirements of the Company's customers for solutions such as those offered by the Company;
- The Company's growth is dependent on the development of the market for network policy control solutions and the decisions of the Company's target customers to deploy and further invest in those technologies, which decisions may be impacted upon by changing requirements in the area of broadband network management policies and/or changes in the regulatory framework to which the Company's customers may be subject. In particular, numerous telecommunications legislators and regulators in various jurisdictions have considered or are considering what, if any, regulations might be appropriate with respect to how internet service providers manage the impact of different types of traffic on their networks. These ongoing processes may cause uncertainty in the network investment decisions of the Company's target customers, and any new rules or regulations that result from these considerations may impact the demand for the Company's products within various markets, including markets that may not be considering any new regulation but where the Company's customers may look to other markets for future guidance or trends;
- The majority of the Company's operating expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars, U.S. dollars and New Israeli Shekels. The Company's earnings are impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and these currencies.
Table 1
1. Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) and related per share amounts to non-GAAP net income (loss) and the related per share amounts for the periods indicated. These non-GAAP financial measures which are used internally by management to evaluate the Company's ongoing performance exclude the impact of stock based compensation, amortization of intangible assets acquired through business acquisitions and goodwill and intangible impairment expenses (collectively referred to as "Excluded Expenses"). The Company provides these non-GAAP financial measures as it is the Company's view that the Excluded Expenses are either (i) not part of its normal day-to-day operations and/or (ii) represent a "non-cash" accounting charge that does not deplete its cash resources. Accordingly, the Company believes that such financial measures may also be useful to investors in enhancing their understanding of the Company's operating performance. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is not recognized under Canadian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian GAAP. Therefore it is unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other issuers. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in the context of the Company's GAAP results.
