Calix Networks (CALX, Financial) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2012-09-29.

Calix, Inc. has a market cap of $331.4 million; its shares were traded at around $7 with and P/S ratio of 1.

Highlight of Business Operations:

Our revenue decreased to $81.3 million and $238.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012, respectively, from $83.7 million and $253.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 24, 2011, respectively. Revenue growth will depend on our ability to continue to sell our access systems and software to existing customers and to attract new customers, including in particular, those customers in the large CSP and international markets. During the second and the third quarters of fiscal 2012, we experienced softness in our business due to lower demand across multiple customer markets. We believe this was due to a slowdown in capital expenditures by service providers increasingly concerned about macro-economic conditions and uncertainties associated with the implementation of regulatory reforms. We expect these issues to continue and these issues may negatively impact our results for the remainder of 2012. Additionally, we expect that our planned acquisition of Ericsson's fiber access assets will have a positive impact to revenue beyond 2012. Since our inception we have incurred significant losses, and as of September 29, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $485.9 million. Our net loss was $7.1 million and $21.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012, respectively. Our net loss was $6.9 million and $47.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 24, 2011, respectively.

Our revenue is principally derived in the United States. During the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012 and September 24, 2011, revenue generated in the United States represented approximately 94% and 93%, respectively. Revenue decreased during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012 compared with the corresponding periods of fiscal 2011, primarily due to a decrease in shipment volume resulting from the softness in demand across multiple customer markets which the company believes is due to a slowdown in capital expenditures by service providers increasingly concerned about macro-economic conditions and uncertainties associated with the implementation of regulatory reforms. We expect these issues to continue and these issues may negatively impact our results for the remainder of 2012.

In the nine months ended September 29, 2012, non-cash charges were $32.7 million (the majority of which consist of depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense). Cash inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily resulted from a $14.4 million decrease in inventory due to improved inventory management, a $15.8 million increase in deferred revenue as a result of increased shipments relating to certain RUS-funded contracts, and a $2.2 million increase in accounts payable due to the timing of inventory receipts and payments. Cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities included primarily an $8.4 million increase in net accounts receivable due to the timing of sale and billing activities, an $8.6 million increase in deferred cost of revenue primarily related to the deferral of certain RUS-funded contracts, and a $2.1 million decrease in accrued liabilities.

Our operating activities provided cash of $8.7 million in the nine months ended September 24, 2011. This resulted primarily from non-cash charges of $39.2 million (the majority of which consist of stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization expense) and positive net changes in operating assets and liabilities, largely offset by our net loss of $47.3 million. Cash inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities included a net decrease of $12.3 million in accounts receivable due to strong cash collections, $9.6 million related to the sell through of inventory, an increase in deferred revenue of $5.8 million of certain RUS-funded contracts and an increase in accrued liabilities of $2.9 million. These inflows were partially offset by cash outflows from accounts payable of $10.1 million resulting primarily from payments of accounts payable assumed from Occam, an increase of $2.3 million in prepaid and other current assets and an increase in deferred cost of revenue of $1.2 million, primarily related to the deferral of revenue of certain RUS-funded contracts.

We believe based on our current operating plan, our existing cash, cash equivalents and existing amounts available under our revolving line of credit will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products, the acquisition of new capabilities or technologies and the continued market acceptance of our products. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed.
