ALPHARETTA, Ga., Nov 2, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Elastic Networks Inc. (Nasdaq: ELAS chart, msgs), today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2000.
In the third quarter, the Company reported revenues of $11.2 million compared to revenues of $1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, an increase of 863%.
The pro forma net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, excluding non-cash stock based expenses and accretion of series A preferred stock of $2.0 million, was $(7.2) million, or $(0.23) per share, compared with a pro forma net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, excluding non-cash stock based expenses and accretion of series A preferred stock of $0.2 million, of $(4.0) million or $(0.13) per share.
"Our strong revenue growth for the third quarter demonstrates the viability and demand for our high-speed access products," said Guy Gill, President and Chief Executive Officer of Elastic Networks. "Our products continue to gain acceptance in the multi-tenant unit (MTU), incumbent telecommunications service provider and international markets. Our IP-based next generation access technology, EtherLoop (TM), combines the best attributes of Ethernet and DSL to solve the current DSL industry challenges of complex deployment, reach and bandwidth limitations."
Mr. Gill continued, "In the third quarter, we made good progress in the execution of our growth plan. We continued our revenue diversification with strong growth in the MTU segment, complemented by the addition of new customers in the carrier and international markets. We successfully effected our initial public offering on September 29, 2000, with net proceeds to the company of $82 million. Additionally, we opened an international office in Hong Kong during the third quarter to expand our focus in the dynamic and growing Asian market."
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company reported revenues of $25.9 million compared to revenues of $3.8 million for the comparable period of 1999, an increase of 588%.
The pro forma net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, excluding non-cash stock based expenses and accretion of series A preferred stock of $3.1 million, was $(19.7) million, or $(0.63) per share, compared with a pro forma net loss for the same period of 1999, excluding non-cash stock based expenses and accretion of series A preferred stock of $0.3 million, of $(12.7) million or $(0.41) per share.
