MICROSEMI FREQUENCY AND TIME CORP 
By San Jose, Calif., Jan. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Symmetricom®, Inc. (NASDAQ:SYMM), a worldwide leader in precision time and frequency technologies, today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2012 ended January 1, 2012.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110829/AQ59077LOGO)
Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $58.3 million, up $1.9 million, or 3.4%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012, driven by higher shipments of PackeTime(TM) products and continued solid performance overall in our Government and Enterprise business. Symmetricom reported net income of $2.4 million, or $0.06 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to net income of $2.7 million, or $0.06 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $4.2 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to $4.1 million, or $0.10 per share, reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $58.1 million as of January 1, 2012, an increase of $1.1 million from the $57.0 million reported as of October 2, 2011, reflecting strong cash inflows from operations, offset by approximately $4.0 million in stock repurchases during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Net cash generated from operating activities in the second quarter was $6.4 million, due in part to a decrease in inventories. After subtracting approximately $0.9 million of property, plant and equipment purchases, free cash flow was approximately $5.5 million.
"Symmetricom delivered solid performance in the second quarter, with revenue at the high end of our expectations. We see continued momentum in both our Communications and Government and Enterprise businesses, with strong customer demand for our solutions," said Dave Cote, president and chief executive officer of Symmetricom. "As we execute on our growth initiatives, our revenue streams will become even more diversified by product, customer, and geography. We remain focused on delivering profitable growth and creating long-term value for our shareholders."
Business Results
Revenue in the Communications Business in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $33.3 million, compared to $33.6 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, and $20.4 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Revenue in the Government and Enterprise Business in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $25.0 million, compared to $22.8 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, and $21.5 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Non-GAAP Information
Certain non-GAAP financial information is included in this press release. In the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results, Symmetricom excludes certain items related to non-cash equity-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, and manufacturing transition costs that the company does not consider indicative of its ongoing performance. The income tax effect after these non-GAAP adjustments is determined based upon Symmetricom's estimate of its annual non-GAAP effective tax rate excluding these non-GAAP adjustments. Symmetricom believes that excluding such items provides investors, analysts and management with a representation of the Company's core operating performance and with information useful in assessing, in conjunction with GAAP results, underlying trends in operating performance. Management uses such non-GAAP information to evaluate financial results and to establish operational goals. Non-GAAP information should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for data prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to the GAAP results is provided in the financial schedules portion of this press release.
Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by or used in operating activities minus purchases of property, plant and equipment. Symmetricom believes this metric provides useful information to its investors, analysts, and management about the level of cash generated by or used in normal business operations, including the use of cash for the purchase of property, plant and equipment. Management also views it as a measure of cash available to pay debt and return cash to stockholders. Free cash flow is not a GAAP financial measure and should not be considered superior to or a substitute for operating cash flow or other cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
