Redback Networks Inc. Announces Record Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Revenue and Pro Forma Net Income
Q4 2000 Pro Forma Net Income Up 143% and Revenue Increases 42% From Prior Quarter
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 17, 2001-- Redback Networks, Inc., (Nasdaq:RBAK - news), a leading provider of advanced networking solutions, today reported record revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2000, as well as a profit of $.05 per share diluted on a pro forma basis.

Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2000 were $114.6 million, compared with $26.1 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of 339 percent. Pro forma net income for the fourth quarter of 2000 was $7.8 million or $0.05 per share diluted, which excludes acquisition-related and stock compensation charges. This compares to the fourth quarter of 1999 pro forma net income of $2 million or $0.02 per share diluted. Before pro forma adjustments, net loss for the fourth quarter of 2000 was $327.6 million or $(2.47) per share compared to net income of $1.2 million or $.01 per share diluted for the same period in the prior year.

For fiscal year 2000, net revenues were $278.0 million, an increase of 333 percent from the $64.3 million posted in 1999. Pro forma net income for the fiscal year was $6.8 million or $0.04 per share diluted, which excludes acquisition-related and stock compensation charges. Before pro forma adjustments, net loss for fiscal 2000 was $1.0 billion or $(8.68) per share compared to net loss of $7.9 million or $(0.15) per share for the prior year.

``Redback continued to achieve key objectives during the fourth quarter of 2000,'' said Vivek Ragavan, chief executive officer and president of Redback. ``From a financial perspective, we delivered another profitable quarter with record revenue and net income. Equally important was the strong global demand for both our next generation products, the SMS 10000 and SmartEdge 800, as well as our industry-standard SMS 500 and SMS 1800 subscriber management systems. We continue to consolidate our market position as a leading vendor of broadband subscriber management systems and next-generation metro optical solutions.''

During the quarter, the company expanded its global presence with new distribution agreements in Europe and Asia. International revenue grew 121 percent sequentially, reflecting design wins at Korea Telecom and Belgacom S.A., among others. ``The international markets are in the early phases of implementing their broadband access strategies,'' remarked Ragavan. ``With global customer base and growing international presence, our strong cash position and powerful product portfolio, we begin 2001 well positioned to capitalize on the coming migration to next generation broadband and metro optical networks.
