C-COR.net Announces Second Quarter FY2000 Results With Diluted EPS of $.13, Up 425% Over the Previous Year; Second Quarter Revenues Up 57% Wednesday, January 19, 2000 07:57 AM STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- C-COR.net (Nasdaq: CCBL, news, msgs) announced the financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 which ended on December 24, 1999. For the quarter, C-COR.net reported net income of $3,949,000. This compares to a net loss of $976,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 1999. The Company's fiscal year 1999 financial results have been restated to reflect the acquisitions of Convergence.com in July 1999 and Silicon Valley Communications, Inc. in September 1999, both of which have been accounted for using the pooling of interests method of accounting.
Earnings per fully diluted share in the second quarter were $.13, compared to a net loss per fully diluted share of $.04 in the second quarter of fiscal year 1999. Diluted earnings per share calculations were based on weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 31,261,000 and 24,133,000, respectively, reflecting the Company's announcement in early December 1999 of a two-for-one stock split. The record date of that split was December 22, 1999, and the distribution date was January 6, 2000.
Net sales for the quarter were $62,391,000, an increase of 57% over net sales of $39,651,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 1999. Bookings in the second quarter were $56,412,000, up from $50,371,000 in the previous quarter, resulting in an ending backlog of $37,467,000 and a book-to-bill of .90 for the quarter. The strong bookings in the quarter can be attributed, in part, to orders from North America. In early January 2000, the Company received the initial production order for Mux Nodes, which are designed for use in today's evolving fiber-rich architectures.
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of approximately 3.2 million shares of its common stock at a price of $44 per share. Proceeds from that offering are to be used for repayment of debt, capital expenditures, strategic investments and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. During the quarter, substantially all of the outstanding debt of the Company was paid off. In addition, the Company announced on January 12, 2000, that it had invested $3,500,000, or approximately a 5% ownership interest, in Fortress Technologies, Inc., a leading security networking company which offers advanced encryption-based products for secure communications over the Internet and broadband networks. In connection with the investment, C-COR.net and Fortress Technologies have agreed on key terms of an exclusive reseller agreement, under which the companies would jointly offer a network-based data security solution for residential and business cable modem customers.
C-COR.net President and CEO, David A. Woodle, stated, "We are encouraged with our accomplishments in the second quarter. We have continued to integrate the operations of Convergence.com and Silicon Valley Communications which were acquired through the two mergers completed in the first quarter, and we successfully concluded the follow-on offering. We are moving forward with our strategic plan to provide `network integrity' through offering advanced fiber optic and RF products along with a full range of technical services to the global broadband marketplace."
