  • Sales reach US$66.4 M and bookings US$71.4 M for book-to-bill ratio of 1.08
  • Gross margin* improves to 64.8% on increased sales year-over-year of Protocol solutions
  • Adjusted EBITDA** amounts to US$7.6 M, or 11.4% of sales

QUEBEC CITY, Jan. 11, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO; TSX: EXF) reported today financial results for the first quarter ended November 30, 2011.

Sales reached US$66.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to US$65.7 million in the first quarter of 2011 and US$64.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Bookings attained US$71.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to US$89.8 million in the same period last year and US$62.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The company's book-to-bill ratio was 1.08 in the first quarter of 2012.

Gross margin* improved to 64.8% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from 62.2% in the first quarter of 2011 and 63.6% in the fourth quarter of 2011.

IFRS net earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 totaled US$2.9 million, or US$0.05 per diluted share, compared to US$14.1 million, or US$0.23 per diluted share, in the same period last year and US$4.6 million, or US$0.08 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2011. It should be noted that EXFO recorded an after-tax gain of US$13.1 million, or US$0.21 per diluted share, from the disposal of discontinued operations (Life Sciences and Industrial Division) in the first quarter of 2011. Net earnings in the first quarter of 2012 included US$1.9 million in after-tax amortization of intangible assets and US$0.6 million in stock-based compensation costs.

Adjusted EBITDA** amounted to US$7.6 million, or 11.4% of sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to US$8.2 million, or 12.1% of sales, in the first quarter of 2011 and US$6.9 million, or 10.8% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2011. EXFO benefited from a foreign exchange gain of US$1.7 million in the first quarter of 2012.

"I am pleased with our second-highest bookings level in company history," said Germain Lamonde, EXFO's Chairman, President and CEO. "We also raised our gross margin close to our target of 65% on higher sales of software-intensive Protocol solutions and increased year-over-year sales across our main product groups with the exception of Copper Access which had benefited from a multi-million dollar, lower-margin order last year. These data points combined to generate healthy profitability in the first quarter of 2012 despite an uncertain global economic environment. I believe that our strategy to push ahead with game-changing solutions and a more aggressive access to key markets will pay off in the second half of the fiscal year, which is typically our strongest."

First-Quarter Business Highlights

  • EXFO achieved its second-highest bookings level (US$71.4 million) in company history based on strong results from the Protocol and Optical product lines especially in the Americas. The company obtained multiple contract wins for 4G/LTE simulators, analyzers and service assurance solutions, including the announced win with Finnish network operator DNA for the BrixHawk Service Assurance solution that combines Brix and NetHawk's technologies to deliver unique monitoring and reporting capabilities. Also, shortly after the quarter-end, EXFO received a follow-on order in excess of US$1.8 million from a Tier-1 North American network operator for the AXS-200/635 Triple-Play Tester.
  • EXFO's top customer accounted for 4.3% of sales in the first quarter, while the top three represented 10.2%. Global sales were diversified with 55% originating from the Americas, 27% from Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and 18% from Asia-Pacific.
  • EXFO launched five new products in the first quarter, including the BrixHawk Distributed Analyzer for live mobile network troubleshooting and service optimization; key enhancements to the FTB Ecosystem (FTB-1, FTB-200 and FTB-500) with expanded software capabilities like 3G and GPS as well as improved functionalities for EXFO Connect; and the release of the FTB-85100G Packet Blazer, a multi-rate, multi-service test solution for characterizing high-speed networks reaching 100G.

Profitable Growth
EXFO generated adjusted EBITDA** of US$7.6 million (11.4% of sales) in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 on revenue of US$66.4 million. Foreign exchange losses or gains are included in adjusted EBITDA**. See the section below entitled "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA** to IFRS net earnings.

Business Outlook
EXFO forecasts sales between US$65.0 million and US$70.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, while net earnings are expected to range between US$0.00 and US$0.04 per diluted share. Net earnings include US$0.04 per share in after-tax amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation costs.

This guidance was established by management based on existing backlog as of the date of this press release, seasonality, expected bookings for the remaining of the quarter, as well as exchange rates as of the day of this press release.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Words such as may, will, expect, believe, anticipate, intend, could, estimate, continue, or the negative or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events and circumstances are considered forward-looking statements. They are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements due to various factors including economic uncertainty (including our ability to quickly adapt cost structures with anticipated levels of business, ability to manage inventory levels with market demand); future economic, competitive, financial and market conditions; capital spending levels in the telecommunications industry; limited visibility with regards to customer orders and the timing of such orders; fluctuating exchange rates; our ability to successfully integrate our acquired and to-be-acquired businesses; consolidation in the global telecommunications test and service assurance industry and increased competition among vendors; concentration of sales; market acceptance of our new products and other upcoming products; our ability to successfully expand international operations; and the retention of key technical and management personnel. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments and risks, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Other risk factors that may affect our future performance and operations are detailed in our Annual Report, on Form 20-F, and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian securities commissions. We believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable based on information currently available to us, but we cannot assure you that the expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this press release. Unless required by law or applicable regulations, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any of them to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this document.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
EXFO provides non-IFRS financial measures (gross margin*, EBITDA** and adjusted EBITDA**) as supplemental information regarding its operational performance. The company uses these measures for the purpose of evaluating its historical and prospective financial performance as well as its performance relative to competitors. These measures also help the company to plan and forecast for future periods as well as to make operational and strategic decisions. EXFO believes that providing this information to investors, in addition to IFRS measures, allows them to see the company's results through the eyes of management, and to better understand its historical and future financial performance.

The presentation of this additional information is not prepared in accordance with IFRS. Therefore, the information may not necessarily be comparable to that of other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.

*  Gross margin represents sales less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization.
   
**  EBITDA is defined as net earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and amortization of intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding changes in the fair value of the cash contingent consideration and the gain from the disposal of discontinued operations.
