Network Equipment Technologies, Inc. ("NET") (NYSE: NWK) announced today its results for the third quarter of fiscal 2009, ended December 26, 2008.

Total revenue in the third quarter was $19.0 million, up 3% from the prior quarter and down 35% from the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Government revenue was $15.3 million in the third quarter, an increase of 14% sequentially and a decrease of 37% from the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Net income in the third quarter, attributable to gains from the early retirement of convertible bonds, was $13.1 million or $0.42 per share. In the prior quarter, the company reported a net loss of $47.5 million or $1.66 per share, due primarily to impairment charges. In the third quarter last fiscal year, net income was $1.5 million or $0.05 per share.

On a non-GAAP basis excluding items noted below, net loss in the third quarter was $3.2 million or $0.11 per share, compared to net loss of $8.1 million or $0.28 per share in the prior quarter, and net income of $2.6 million, or $0.09 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Non-GAAP net income and loss were calculated by excluding the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets from our acquisition of Quintum, accretion, and other restructure charges resulting from severance and vacating our former manufacturing facility; as well as excluding the gain on the retirement of debt by the repurchase of convertible bonds. Refer to the table below for reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income and loss.

Cash and investment balances at the end of the quarter were $101.6 million, down $30.0 million from the end of the prior quarter. During the third quarter, the company used $23.1 million for the buyback of convertible bonds and $311,000 for the repurchase of shares of its common stock. Following the buybacks, the company now has outstanding $13.0 million of its 3 3/4% convertible senior notes and $23.7 million of its 7 1/4% convertible subordinated debentures.

"We see our greatest near term opportunity emerging in VoIP applications for unified communications in both the enterprise and government markets. Our VoIP products are being used in an increasing number of pilots globally. Working with our growing base of channel partners, we are actively pursuing new opportunities and converting successful pilots into larger deployments," said president and CEO C. Nicholas Keating, Jr. "Although we are gaining traction with our pilot programs, we believe that the uncertain economy and continued delays in some government programs will affect our customers' spending through at least the first half of calendar 2009. As a result, we will continue to look for further opportunities to improve efficiencies and trim expenses."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, NET has provided certain non-GAAP net income (loss) financial measures that adjust for the company's impairment charge for goodwill and other intangible assets, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets from our acquisition of Quintum, accretion and other restructure charges resulting from severance and vacating our former manufacturing facility, and the gain on extinguishment of debt. These non-GAAP measures may include net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share data that are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of the company's current financial performance and the company's prospects for the future. NET believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of its core operating results and reflect NET's ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the GAAP results in the attached tables.
