  • Sales reach US$51.2 million
  • Bookings attain US$58.7 million (book-to-bill ratio of 1.15)
  • Cash flows from operating activities total US$3.6 million

QUEBEC CITY, March 25, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO;TSX: EXF) reported today financial results for the second quarter ended February 28, 2014.

Sales reached US$51.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to US$62.6 million in the second quarter of 2013 and US$56.0 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Bookings attained US$58.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to US$53.4 million in the same period last year and US$57.9 million in the first quarter of 2014. The company's book-to-bill ratio was 1.15 in the second quarter of 2014.

Gross margin* amounted to 60.8% of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 62.2% in both the second quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014.

IFRS net loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 totaled US$1.3 million, or US$0.02 per share, compared to net earnings of US$39,000, or US$0.00 per diluted share, in the same period last year and a net loss of US$0.7 million, or US$0.01 per share, in the first quarter of 2014. IFRS net loss in the second quarter of 2014 included US$1.0 million in after-tax amortization of intangible assets, US$0.4 million in stock-based compensation costs and a foreign exchange gain of US$2.3 million.

Adjusted EBITDA** totaled -US$1.0 million, or -2.0% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to US$4.4 million, or 7.1% of sales, in the second quarter of 2013 and US$2.3 million, or 4.1% of sales, in the first quarter of 2014.

"Although we experienced some timing issues in the second quarter, I am pleased our bookings increased sequentially and 10.0% year-over-year to significantly strengthen our backlog," said Germain Lamonde, EXFO's Chairman, President and CEO. "As a result, we ended the first half of fiscal 2014 with relatively flat bookings year-over-year and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.09, but clearly with better order momentum. Given the strength of our recently launched technology platforms, including wireless and high-speed solutions, we are witnessing increases in our sales funnel, tier-1 customer engagements and larger projects. Consequently, I am confident EXFO has reached an important tipping point which bodes well for the second half of fiscal 2014."

  • Profitability. EXFO reported adjusted EBITDA of US$1.3 million (1.2% of sales) after six months into fiscal 2014 compared to US$7.2 million (5.8% of sales) during the same period in 2013 due to lower revenues.

EXFO's cash position amounted to US$51.7 million with no debt at the end of the second quarter of 2014.

  • Innovation. EXFO launched seven new products in the second quarter, including an end-to-end voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) service assurance suite that enables mobile operators to proactively monitor and assure quality of experience (QoE) of critical VoLTE deployments that are about to get underway. EXFO also introduced the industry's first polarization-multiplexed (Pol-Mux) optical spectrum analyzer to characterize 40G and 100G coherent networks; released a fully automated fiber inspection probe, the first in the industry to integrate auto-focus capabilities, thus eliminating costly false positive results and reducing fiber connector inspection time by more than 50%; and expanded its multi-service Power Blazer offering by adding bidirectional EtherSAM capabilities on all 10M to 100G Ethernet interfaces. Altogether, EXFO released 16 new products or major product upgrades at the halfway mark of fiscal 2014.


Business Outlook
EXFO forecasts sales between US$60.0 million and US$65.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, while IFRS net earnings are expected to range between US$0.00 and US$0.04 per diluted share. Net earnings include US$0.02 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 forward-looking statements due to various factors including macro-economic uncertainty as well as capital spending and network deployment levels in the telecommunications industry (including our ability to quickly adapt cost structures with anticipated levels of business and our ability to manage inventory levels with market demand); future economic, competitive, financial and market conditions; consolidation in the global telecommunications test and service assurance industry and increased competition among vendors; limited visibility with regards to customer orders and the timing of such orders; fluctuating exchange rates; concentration of sales; timely release and market acceptance of our new products and other upcoming products; our ability to successfully integrate our acquired and to-be-acquired businesses; 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 the 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 document. 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 Measures
EXFO provides non-IFRS measures (gross margin before depreciation and amortization* and adjusted EBITDA**) as supplemental information regarding its operational performance. The company uses these measures for the purpose of evaluating 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, in addition to IFRS measures, allows investors 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 before depreciation and amortization represents sales less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization.

** Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, stock-based compensation costs and foreign exchange gain.

The following table summarizes the reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net earnings (loss), in thousands of US dollars:
