Comments on the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003
To be delivered during the analyst conference call by
Mark Slaven, 3Com senior vice president and chief financial officer
I will now take you through our financial results for Q2 of fiscal '03, starting with a brief overview. Revenues for the quarter were $303 million, including $15 million of royalties from a paid-up license with Xircom Xircom, Inc. was based in Thousand Oaks, California, with manufacturing facilities located in Penang & Malaysia and international offices throughout Europe and Asia Pacific. They were one of the first companies to develop network computing products for notebook computers. . Excluding the royalties, revenues were approximately $288 million, down approximately 6 percent from the prior quarter, and within our guidance of a 5 to 8 percent sequential One after the other in some consecutive order such as by name or number. decline. Gross margins improved almost 4 points to over 51 percent, driven largely by the benefit from the paid-up license. Total operating expenses were approximately $217 million, including approximately $70 million in restructuring charges restructuring charge The expense of reorganizing a company's operations. A restructuring charge is an infrequent expense that generally results from asset writedowns or facility closings. and $10 million in amortization and write downs of intangibles Property that is a "right" such as a patent, Copyright, or trademark, or one that is lacking physical existence, such as good will. . The operating loss operating loss The excess of operating expenses over revenue.

This includes a combined negative impact of approximately 24 cents per share from restructuring charges, amortization and write downs of intangibles, gains on land and facilities, and losses on equity investments. It also includes a positive impact of approximately 5 cents per share from the paid-up license revenue and a duty refund TO REFUND. To pay back by the party who has received it, to the party who has paid it, money which ought not to have been paid. 2. On a deficiency of assets, executors and administrators cum testamento annexo, are entitled to have refunded to them legacies of approximately $4 million. Cash and short-term investment balances increased by $46 million to $1.43 billion, while overall debt balances were reduced by $58 million. Enterprise Networking The networking infrastructure in a large enterprise with multiple computer systems and networks of different types is extraordinarily complex. Due to the myriad of interfaces that are required, much of what goes on has little to do with the real data processing of the payroll and orders. Segment -- $57 million from the sale of our facility in Marlborough, Massachusetts and $4 million from the sale of a facility in Salt Lake City; -- Net proceeds of approximately $1 million from equity investments; -- Offset by the use of $6 million for capital expenditures. Connectivity A generic term for connecting devices to each other in order to transfer data back and forth. It often refers to network connections, which embraces bridges, routers, switches and gateways as well as backbone networks. Segment -- Revenues for the Connectivity segment were much stronger than anticipated. Revenues including the $15 million paid-up license were $81 million. Excluding this $15 million, revenues were approximately $66 million, a decline of $2 million sequentially. While OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and sales declined sequentially, channel sales increased, nearly offsetting the OEM decline. -- This segment delivered a positive contribution margin of approximately $39 million including the $15 million benefit from the paid-up license. Excluding this benefit, contribution margin was approximately $24 million compared to $19 million in Q1. The increase was driven mainly by improved gross margins. CommWorks Segment -- Revenues for CommWorks were approximately $31 million, down approximately $5 million from Q1, and reflecting continued softness in spending by telecommunications service providers A Telecommunications Service Provider or TSP is a type of Communications Service Provider that has traditionally provided telephone and similar services. This category includes ILECs, CLECs, and mobile wireless companies. . -- Contribution margin was approximately negative $12 million and includes $4.5 million of write offs from impairments of intangible assets Intangible Asset An asset that is not physical in nature. Notes: Examples are things like copyrights, patents, intellectual property, and goodwill. These are the opposite of tangible assets. . Without the write offs, the contribution margin improved by approximately $4 million over Q1, representing significant progress in the drive to achieve break even contribution margin by the end of the fiscal year. The improvement was largely the result of the substantial steps taken throughout the quarter to restructure the business. Gross Margins Overall gross margins improved almost 4 points sequentially, primarily the result of the $15 million in paid-up license revenue mentioned earlier. The remaining improvement was primarily the result of lower costs and favorable fa·vor·a·ble adj. 1. Advantageous; helpful: favorable winds. 2. Encouraging; propitious: a favorable diagnosis. 3. mix. As was the case last quarter, we received another duty refund of approximately $4 million, which benefited margins, and also received approximately $2 million in benefit from the sale or disposition Act of disposing; transferring to the care or possession of another. The parting with, alienation of, or giving up of property. The final settlement of a matter and, with reference to decisions announced by a court, a judge's ruling is commonly referred to as disposition, regardless of of inventory that had previously been written off. Operating Expenses Included in operating expenses of $217 million, were the following items:
-- $70 million in restructuring charges consisting of:
1) $11 million in severance related expenses;
2) a $31 million loss on the sale of property;
3) $17 million of write downs of assets held for sale and asset
retirements;
4) $9 million of accelerated depreciation on facilities in Santa
Clara;
5) and approximately $2 million of other miscellaneous items.
Also,
-- $10 million of amortization and write down of intangibles.
Excluding the restructuring charges and the amortization and write down of intangibles, operating expenses were approximately $138 million. The number of employees, including alternative work force, at the end of Q2 was approximately 4,200, as compared to approximately 4,600 at the end of the prior quarter. Gains (Losses) on Investments Net loss on equity investments was approximately $7 million, the result of fair value adjustments and write downs of long-term Long-term Three or more years. In the context of accounting, more than 1 year. long-term 1. Of or relating to a gain or loss in the value of a security that has been held over a specific length of time. Compare short-term. equity investments. Interest and Other Income Interest and other income, net, was approximately $4 million. Income Tax Provision The income tax provision was $4 million primarily representing tax on foreign earnings. Net Loss per Share, Shares Outstanding The net loss per share was approximately 19 cents including the impacts previously mentioned. Basic shares outstanding for Q2 were approximately 359 million, up approximately two million shares from the prior quarter due to option exercises and issuance of shares under the employee stock purchase program. Cash Cash and short-term investment balances increased approximately $46 million in the quarter, including a net reduction of $58 million in debt. Cash used in financing activities was approximately $46 million due to debt reduction of $58 million, against the receipt of $9 million from stock option exercises and employee purchases of shares and the receipt of $4 million on a note receivable note receivable A debt due from borrowers and evidenced by a written promise of payment. Note receivable, an entry on the asset side of many corporate balance sheets, indicates the dollar amount of loans due to be repaid by borrowers. .

Cash provided by investing activities was approximately $56 million driven by the following factors: -- $57 million from the sale of our facility in Marlborough, Massachusetts and $4 million from the sale of a facility in Salt Lake City; -- Net proceeds of approximately $1 million from equity investments; -- Offset by the use of $6 million for capital expenditures. Cash generated from operating activities was approximately $35 million. This includes $15 million from the paid-up license, and $4 million in duty refunds. It also includes cash disbursements of approximately $15 million related to previously announced restructuring restructuring - The transformation from one representation form to another at the same relative abstraction level, while preserving the subject system's external behaviour (functionality and semantics). activities, including $13 million related to separation. Excluding these items, cash generated from operating activities was approximately $31 million. Our cash cycle was 5 days, our second best performance ever. DSO remained flat at 41 days. Average inventory turns improved from 11.6 to a new record of 12.8, and average days payable was 64 days. Forward Looking Guidance I will now end with some guidance on the third quarter of our fiscal '03. This will include forward-looking statements about various matters pertaining per·tain intr.v. per·tained, per·tain·ing, per·tains 1. To have reference; relate: evidence that pertains to the accident. 2. to fiscal 2003. Please refer to the safe harbor language in the earnings release, which is available on our website, for factors that could cause actual results to vary. Historically the third quarter has been a seasonally weaker quarter for the company. Setting aside the $15 million in royalties received in Q2, we expect total revenues to decline sequentially by approximately 5 to 7 percent. We expect the Connectivity segment to decline approximately 20 percent as OEM sales continue to decline and we enter a seasonally slower quarter for channel sales. We expect the Enterprise Networking segment to decline modestly due to the seasonal weakness and we expect sales for CommWorks to be roughly flat. We expect gross margins to be in the range of 45 to 47 percent. We expect a modest decline in ongoing operating expenses. We expect non-operating income of approximately $3 to 5 million and the tax provision to be approximately $4 million. Additional charges due to restructuring, loss on sale of assets and investments, and asset impairments are likely, though not possible to predict in the aggregate at this time. Finally, we expect to maintain cash and short-term investment balances in excess of $1.4 billion.
Comments on the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003
To be delivered during the analyst conference call by
Bruce Claflin, 3Com president and chief executive officer
We were all hopeful that as we ended calendar year 2002, it would be on a more upbeat note for the industry. Yet as we all know, that is not the case. However, despite the continuing challenges of the industry, I am confident in 3Com's future potential. We end the year with a strong balance sheet and superb cash position. We are enjoying growth in strategically important products like Layer 3 switching and LAN Telephony An IP telephony system that is contained within a local area network (LAN). See IP telephony and voice capable Ethernet switch. . For example, on December December: see month. 9, we released the XRN XRN - A newsreader program for Usenet news running under the X Window System. Interconnect (1) To attach one device to another. (2) A physical port (plug, socket) or wireless port (transmitter, receiver) used to attach one device to another.

Object-oriented language with block structure, coroutines, concurrency, strong typing, part objects, separate objects and customers has been very favorable, and we are actively selling and shipping kits. We are readying future phases of the technology to enable enterprises to have a long-term, flexible path of scalability How much a system can be expanded. See scalable. scalability - How well a solution to some problem will work when the size of the problem increases. For example, a central server of some kind with ten clients may perform adequately but with a thousand clients it and network optimization optimization Field of applied mathematics whose principles and methods are used to solve quantitative problems in disciplines including physics, biology, engineering, and economics. . Also, our previously announced products that use XRN technology showed healthy growth this quarter. As a result, our Layer 3 fixed-configuration Gigabit switches pulled ahead of Extreme Networks in revenue and ports shipped, and 3Com now holds the #2 position in both categories, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Dell'Oro. In LAN Telephony, we have now had four straight quarters of revenue growth. All this proves 3Com's ability to successfully introduce new products in growth areas. As you know, telecom related markets remain severely depressed Depressed A description of a market, security, or product that is experiencing weak demand and lowering prices. Notes: A depressed market, security, or product implies that prices and volume are low. There are many reasons for a depressed market, security, or product. . As a result we substantially reduced our cost structure in CommWorks. Despite lower revenues, this unit continued to make substantial progress in Q2 toward its goal of positive contribution margin in Q4 FY'03. Strategically, we've we've Contraction of we have. we've have set our sights on what it will take to be the tier one networking company of the future -- one that offers innovative feature rich products and solutions that excel at Verb 1. excel at - be good at; "She shines at math" shine at excel, surpass, stand out - distinguish oneself; "She excelled in math" low cost of acquisition and ownership. While the economy and industry environment remain challenging, we remain confident in the long-term growth prospects of our industry and specifically, 3Com's ability to grow not just with, but also ahead of the industry.
