TXP Announces Results for the Second Quarter of 2008
Wednesday August 20, 8:00 am ET
RICHARDSON, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 20, 2008 -- TXP Corporation (OTC BB:TXPO.OB - News), an Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) for the telecommunications industry, today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Recent Highlights:
-- Completed first shipment of Optical Network Terminals (ONT) for
Broadband-over-Powerline (BPL) Gateway to leading equipment manufacturer;
-- Successfully reached interoperability with 17 global Gigabit Passive
Optical Network (GPON) Optical Line Terminal (OLT) providers; and
-- Authorized by four additional carriers to provide retrofit solutions.
Michael C. Shores, President and Chief Executive Officer of TXP, stated, "We are very pleased to report our highest quarterly sales to date, excluding one-time projects, despite a weak economic environment. Sales were driven in part by strong performance in our retrofit solutions division, given our ability to provide valuable cost savings to telecom carriers. Our retrofit kits enable carriers to cost effectively upgrade their local access networks by retrofitting existing outside plant cabinets, which are typically 60-75% less than the cost of a new cabinet installation. TXP provides custom cabinet upgrades containing new and superior cooling solutions and heat exchangers to prevent downtime or damage to the carriers' equipment that resides in the cabinets. With the approval of four additional carriers to provide our retrofit solutions during the quarter and others in the pipeline, we are pleased with the progress we are making in this division.
"Our primary area of focus during the quarter was our ONT solutions which enable integrated voice, video and high-speed internet access. We began our first shipment of ONT equipment for use in BPL gateways to a leading equipment manufacturer during the second quarter. This major equipment vendor plans to integrate our ONT into its product enabling service from fiber to the powerline to the home. We also announced our standards-compliant RF return capable ONT during the quarter. The RF return channel is used as an upstream path for customers to send data to the service provider, such as requesting pay-per-view broadcasts and other video on demand applications. We believe that the advantage to our new product introduction is that it works using the current three-wavelength protocol rather than requiring a fourth wavelength. This creates a time-advantage for the telecoms who cannot wait around for a new standard to be implemented. We experienced strong indications of interest in this technology when we introduced it at the NXTcomm conference in Las Vegas in June of this year and our goal is converting this interest into sales in the coming months.
"Looking ahead, we remain extremely optimistic about the outlook for the business. We are engaged in active discussions with a number of carriers to utilize our Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) ONTs for their next generation Fiber-to-the-Home network and have product trials ongoing with numerous carriers. As a result, we have been preparing for the potential ramp up in demand for our ONT technology, including further strengthening our Asian supply chain. These steps are designed to ensure that we can offer not only the highest quality, but also the most competitive prices in the industry."
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2008 was approximately $3.31 million, compared with approximately $3.29 million for the same period in 2007. Revenue gains were made primarily in the retrofit and product and accessory categories offset by a decline in prototyping and material management services. Operating loss for the second quarter was approximately $1.9 million, compared to operating loss of approximately $1.1 million for the same period last year. Net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was approximately $9.9 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to net loss of approximately $1.5 million, or $0.01 per share, for the same period in 2007. Net loss in the second quarter of 2008 included a non-cash loss of approximately $5.7 million and 2007 included a non-cash gain of $61,000 related to change in fair value of derivative financial instruments. The second quarter of 2008 also included expenses of approximately $1.3 million for the early extinguishment of debt and a $196,000 loss on impairment of fixed assets.
Full results are available in the company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 that was filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission on August 19, 2008.
