 Alexander, president and chief executive officer of Hypercom Corporation, "I am pleased to report that our results are very much in line with guidance we gave three months ago, despite the tragic events of September 11 and the temporary impact this had on our business. Our business has good momentum and we look forward to further gains in the fourth quarter and growing profitability in 2002."

Hypercom achieved positive EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) A metric used to show a company's profitability, but not its cash flow. EBITDA became popular in the 1980s to show the potential profitability of leveraged buyouts, but has become  (earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization) of $4.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted di·lute

 share, for the September quarter. This is in line with the guidance for EBITDA of $0.10 - $0.12 per share given in the Hypercom second-quarter financial release, dated August 2, 2001. Delayed shipments in the September quarter would have added $3.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, to EBITDA for a pro-forma EBITDA total of $7.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share.

Revenues for the quarter were $71.0 million compared to $75.9 million in the year-ago period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, revenues were $217.2 million compared to $243.1 million in the year-ago period. Both the September quarter and nine-month results were impacted by the temporary suspension suspension, in vehicles

"Gross margins continue to improve. We feel comfortable that we have now managed expenses to an appropriate level of business activity. As a result, we not only accomplished what we set out to do one year ago, but we have also carefully prepared ourselves for 2002, where we are sharply focused on accelerating our profitability."

This compares to a net loss in the year-ago period of $21.6 million, or $0.63 loss per diluted share, which included a $5.9 million loss, or $0.17 loss per diluted share, from the company's equity investment in the Cirilium Corporation joint venture. The company had no remaining basis in this investment as of September 30, 2000.

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, exclusive of banking charges related to the company's principal lending facility and related forbearance agreements, was $16.9 million, or $0.47 loss per share. Including the charges, the net loss was $21.4 million, or $0.60 loss per diluted share. This compares to a net loss in the year-ago period of $26.7 million or $0.78 loss per diluted share, which included a $9.9 million loss, or $0.29 loss per diluted share, from the company's equity investment in the Cirilium Corporation joint venture.
