MORRISVILLE, N.C. --(Business Wire)-- Tekelec (NASDAQ: TKLC), a leading developer of high-performance network applications for next-generation fixed, mobile and packet networks, today announced its earnings for the third quarter of 2006. The results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 include a gain on the sale of the Company's IEX contact center business reported in the results of discontinued operations, and an impairment charge related to intangibles and goodwill associated with its Switching Solutions Business Unit.



Results from Continuing Operations

Revenue from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2006 was a record $155.2 million, up 43% compared to $108.4 million for the third quarter of 2005. For the third quarter of 2006, the Company had orders for the Telecom business of $108.0 million, up 8% compared to $100.4 million for the second quarter of 2006 and down 20% compared to $135.6 million for the third quarter of 2005. Telecom backlog as of September 30, 2006 was $455.0 million compared to $502.2 million as of June 30, 2006 and $520.2 million as of December 31, 2005.


On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2006 of $87.5 million, or $1.30 loss per diluted share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $7.6 million, or $0.11 loss per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2005. GAAP operating results for the third quarter of 2006 include a non-cash impairment charge of $100.6 million related to the write-down of certain goodwill and acquired technology assets of the Switching Solutions Business Unit.

On a non-GAAP basis, income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2006 was $11.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $3.1 million, or $0.05 loss per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2005. Please refer to the attached financial statement schedules for a reconciliation of the Company's GAAP operating results to its non-GAAP operating results.

Revenue from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2006 was $399.2 million, up 15% compared to $347.9 million for the first nine months of 2005. For the first nine months of 2006, the Company had orders from continuing operations of $333.9 million, down 15% compared to $391.2 million for the first nine months of 2005.

On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a loss from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2006 of $102.1 million, or $1.52 loss per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations of $6.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2005.

At September 30, 2006, Tekelec's consolidated cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $426.8 million, up from $237.2 million at June 30 2006 due primarily to the Company's receipt during the third quarter of 2006 of proceeds from the sale of the IEX Contact Center Business. Deferred revenue from continuing operations was $225.2 million at September 30, 2006, compared to $257.1 million at June 30, 2006.

Impairment Charge

In connection with its annual budgeting process initiated during the third quarter of 2006, the Company performed a comprehensive evaluation of the Switching Solutions Business Unit. Based on this evaluation and the significant shortfall in switching orders for the second half of 2006 compared to its earlier expectations, the Company significantly lowered its forecast for the Business Unit's future revenues and cash flows. As a result, the Company has recognized non-cash impairment charges in the aggregate amount of $100.6 million in the third quarter of 2006. Approximately $25.6 million of these charges relate to the impairment of acquired technology and $75.0 million of these charges reflect the write-down of goodwill relating to the acquisitions of Santera Systems Inc. and Vocal Data Inc.

In connection with this comprehensive evaluation and assessment of its Switching Solutions Business Unit, the Company has retained J. P. Morgan Securities Inc. as an advisor to help identify and evaluate strategic alternatives to leverage its switching technology portfolio.

Results from Discontinued Operations

The sale of the IEX Contact Center business to NICE Systems, Inc. closed on July 6, 2006 and the operations of IEX have been presented in discontinued operations. On a GAAP basis, income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, in the third quarter of 2006 was $176.8 million, or $2.63 per diluted share, compared to income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, of $3.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2005. On a GAAP basis, income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, for the first nine months of 2006 was $189.4 million, or $2.83 per diluted share, compared to income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, of $7.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2005. Included in the income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was a gain on the sale of IEX of $177.5 million, net of taxes.

Consolidated GAAP Results

The Company's consolidated net income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $89.3 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, compared to a consolidated net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2005 of $4.1 million, or $0.06 loss per diluted share. The Company's consolidated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $87.3 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, compared to consolidated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 of $14.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share. Results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2006 include a non-cash impairment charge of $100.6 million related to the write-down of certain goodwill and acquired technology assets of the Switching Solutions Business Unit and a gain on the sale of IEX of $177.5 million, net of taxes.

Restructuring Plan

As a result of the continued losses in the Switching Solutions Business Unit ("SSG"), on November 1, 2006 the Company expanded the scope of the restructuring of SSG's operations which was initiated in the second quarter of 2006. Specifically, as part of its ongoing efforts to align the cost structure with SSG's current business opportunities, the Company has further reduced the size of its operations in Plano, Texas through: (i) the termination of the Company's employment of 104 employees across SSG and related customer service, operations and other personnel; (ii) the decision not to replace 22 employees who left Tekelec during the third quarter of 2006; and (iii) the termination of approximately 25 contractors.

In addition, as a result of the relocation of the Company's corporate headquarters to North Carolina from California, the California-based Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs and General Counsel of the Company, Ron Buckly, has decided to resign effective December 31, 2006. The Company will incur charges under a retention agreement with Mr. Buckly and is also obligated to pay severance benefits to him under its Officer Severance Plan due to the relocation of the Company's headquarters.

The Company currently estimates that it will incur charges in the fourth quarter of 2006 in the aggregate amount of approximately $4 to $5 million to cover severance and other costs associated with this SSG reduction in force and the resignation of the Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs and General Counsel. The Company currently expects to realize estimated annual cost savings from this restructuring activity of $17 to $19 million. Due to the timing of this restructuring, the Company expects to realize the majority of these savings commencing in 2007. These savings are in addition to the estimated $8 million of annual cost savings that the Company expects to realize from its restructuring completed in the second quarter of 2006.

Conference Call

Tekelec has scheduled a conference call for Wednesday, November 1, 2006, for management to discuss third quarter 2006 results. The Company also plans to provide on its web site prior to the commencement of the call certain non-GAAP information for the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 and to discuss during this call certain forward looking information concerning the Company's prospects for the full year of 2006.

"Live" Webcast and Replay

Tekelec will host a live webcast of its conference call on Wednesday, November 1, 2006 at 4:45 p.m. EDT. To access the webcast, visit Tekelec's web site located at www.tekelec.com, enter the Investor Relations section and click on the webcast icon. A webcast replay will be available at approximately 7:45 p.m. on November 1 and for 90 days thereafter.

Telephone Replay

A telephone replay of the call will also be available for one week after the live webcast by calling either (800) 642-1687 or (706) 645-9291, and entering the conference ID # 9598613

Non-GAAP Information

Certain non-GAAP financial measures are included in this press release, including a full non-GAAP statement of operations. In the calculation of these measures, Tekelec generally excludes certain items such as amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring and other charges, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, and unusual, non-recurring gains and charges. Tekelec believes that excluding such items provides investors and management with a representation of the Company's core operating performance and with information useful in assessing its prospects for the future and underlying trends in Tekelec's operating expenditures and continuing operations. Management uses such non-GAAP measures and the resulting non-GAAP statements of operations to (i) evaluate financial results;(ii) manage the Company's operations; and (iii) establish operational goals. Further, each of the individual non-GAAP measures within the non-GAAP statement of operations and the non-GAAP statement of operations itself are utilized by the Company's management and board of directors to determine incentive compensation and evaluate key trends within the business. In addition, since the Company has historically reported non-GAAP measures to the investment community, the Company believes the inclusion of this information provides consistency in our financial reporting. The attachments to this release provide a reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP measures, including the full non-GAAP statement of operations, referred to in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, GAAP net income from continuing operations. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered a substitute for the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this press release are forward looking, reflect the Company's current intent, belief or expectations and involve certain risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual future performance may not meet the Company's expectations. As discussed in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Qs (the "Form 10-Qs") for the 2006 first and second quarter, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2005 (the "2005 Form 10-K") and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), the Company's future operating results are difficult to predict and subject to significant fluctuations. Factors that may cause future results to differ materially from the Company's current expectations, in addition to those identified in the Company's filings with the Commission, include, among others, the impact on future operating results of changes in revenue recognition described in the 2005 Form 10-K, the Form 10-Qs for the 2006 first and second quarter, and prior reports filed with the Commission, the risk of continued losses in the Company's Switching Solutions Business Unit, the risk that the Company will not realize all the benefits of its restructuring activities and the risk that the Company's financial results for the full year 2006 or 2007 will not meet the Company's expectations. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in
thousands):
(1) For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006,
impairment of purchased technology and of goodwill amount to $25,615
and $75,000, respectively. Both impairment charges are related to one
of our reporting units, consisting of our Santera and VocalData
product lines within our Switching Solutions Business Unit.
(2) For both the three and nine months and year ended September 30,
2005, the write-off of in-process research and development amounted
to $1,210 and related to our acquisition of iptelorg in the second
quarter of 2005.
(3) This amount represents restructuring and other costs related
principally to reductions in staff associated with the (i)
restructuring of our operations in June 2006 (the "2006
Restructuring"), (ii) our corporate headquarters and Taqua
relocations in 2005, and (iii) the relocation of our manufacturing
operations in 2004. The 2006 Restructuring involved the termination
of approximately 60 employees across all of our business units,
customer service organization and operations group. The majority of
the terminated employees worked directly for or in support of the
Switching Solutions Business Unit based in Plano, Texas. The
estimated annual operating cost savings resulting from the 2006
Restructuring is expected to be between $8.0 and $8.5 million.
(4) On October 3, 2005, we acquired the remaining shares of Santera
capital stock held by the minority shareholders and on that date,
Santera became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tekelec. For all periods
presented, the results of Santera are included in the consolidated
results of operations of Tekelec. The consolidated provision for
income taxes does not include any benefit from the losses generated
by Santera prior to October 3, 2005 due to the following:
-- Prior to October 3, 2005, Santera's losses could not be included on
Tekelec's consolidated federal tax return because its ownership
interest in Santera did not meet the threshold to consolidate under
income tax rules and regulations.
-- Prior to October 3, 2005, a full valuation allowance had been
established on the income tax benefits generated by Santera as a
result of Santera's historical operating losses.
(5) For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the
calculation of consolidated diluted earnings per share (including
discontinued operations) excludes the add-back to net income of $581
for assumed after-tax interest cost related to the convertible debt
using the "if-converted" method of accounting for diluted earnings
per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the
calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes the add-back to
net income of $1,743 for assumed after-tax interest cost related to
the convertible debt using the "if-converted" method of accounting
for diluted earnings per share. The weighted average number of shares
outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 excludes
6,361 shares related to the convertible debt using the "if-converted"
method.

Notes to Unaudited Non-GAAP Statements of Operations (in thousands):
(1) Please refer to the attached reconciliation of the GAAP Statements
of Operations to the above Non-GAAP Statements of Operations.
(2) The above Non-GAAP Statements of Operations assume effective
income tax rates of 27% and 27.5% for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006, respectively, and effective income tax rates of
17.5% and 55.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2005, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30,
2005, there were no income tax benefits associated with the losses
generated by Santera.
(3) For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the calculation of
diluted earnings per share includes the add-back to net income of
$581 for assumed after-tax interest cost related to the convertible
debt using the "if-converted" method of accounting for diluted
earnings per share. The weighted average number of shares outstanding
for the three months ended September 30, 2006 includes 6,361 shares
related to the convertible debt using the "if-converted" method. For
the three months ended September 30, 2005 and both the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, these adjustments were excluded
from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as these
adjustments were anti-dilutive.

Notes to Unaudited Impact of Non-GAAP Adjustments on Net Income:
(1) The adjustments represent stock-based compensation expense
recognized related to awards of stock options, restricted stock or
restricted stock units and stock purchase rights granted under our
employee stock purchase plans.
(2) The adjustments represent the amortization of purchased
technology, other intangibles and acquired backlog related to the
acquisitions of Taqua, VocalData, Steleus, iptelorg and Santera.
(3) The adjustment represents the elimination of the impairment
charges incurred related to the intangible assets and the goodwill
associated with our Switching reporting segment.
(4) The adjustment represents changes in estimates relating to our
2006 Restructuring.
(5) The adjustment represents the income tax effect of footnotes (1),
(2), (3), and (4) in order to reflect our non-GAAP effective tax rate
of 27%.
(6) For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the calculations of
non-GAAP diluted earnings per share include a potential add-back to
net income of $581,000 for assumed after-tax interest cost and
6,361,000 weighted average shares related to the convertible debt
using the "if-converted" method.

Notes to Unaudited Impact of Non-GAAP Adjustments on Net Income:
(1) The adjustments represent stock-based compensation expense
recognized related to awards of stock options, restricted stock,
restricted stock units and stock purchase rights granted under our
employee stock purchase plans.
(2) The adjustments represent the amortization of purchased
technology, other intangibles and acquired backlog related to the
acquisitions of Taqua, VocalData, Steleus, iptelorg and Santera.
(3) The adjustment represents acquired in-process research and
development relating to the acquisition of iptelorg.
(4) The adjustment represents restructuring and other costs related to
our manufacturing, corporate headquarters and Taqua relocations.
(5) The adjustment represents a realized loss on the sale of Santera's
holdings of Alcatel shares received in conjunction with warrants
exercised in December 2004.
(6) The adjustment represents the income tax effect of footnotes (1),
(2), (4) and (5) in order to reflect our non-GAAP effective tax rate
at 35% for the Tekelec business, excluding Santera.
(7) The adjustment represents the minority interest impact of
footnotes (2) and (5).
(8) For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the calculations of
diluted earnings per share exclude a potential add-back to net income
of $1,743,000 for assumed after-tax interest cost and 6,361,000
weighted average shares related to the convertible debt using the
"if-converted" method as the effects of including such amounts are
anti-dilutive.
