Catapult Communications Reports Increased Revenues and Earnings for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2004 MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan 29, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via Comtex/ -- Catapult Communications Corporation (Nasdaq: CATT) today reported revenues and net income for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003. Total revenues for the quarter were $11.0 million, compared to revenues of $10.4 million reported for the comparable quarter a year ago. Net income for the first fiscal quarter was $915,000 or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income of $111,000 or $0.01 per diluted share in the first fiscal quarter of 2003. "During the first quarter of this fiscal year, we saw a modest improvement in year-over-year revenue and a significant improvement in earnings in the absence of the acquisition related costs that were material a year ago. Cash and short-term investments grew more than $2 million during the quarter to $33 million. Our strong balance sheet provides us with the solid foundation that has enabled us to maintain our position as the leader in digital telecom test systems," said Dr. Richard A. Karp, Chairman and CEO. BUSINESS OUTLOOK The second fiscal quarter ending March 31 has historically been the Company's strongest quarter, due to Japanese end-of-fiscal-year revenues.
