palmOne Reports Q2 FY05 Results



Revenue Up 39%; Operating Margin Is 8.1%

MILPITAS, Calif., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- palmOne, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLMO) today reported revenue of $376.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, ended Nov. 26, which is up approximately 39 percent from the $271.2 million reported during the comparable quarter a year ago.

Net income was $24.7 million, or $0.48 per diluted share. This compares to income from continuing operations in the year-ago period of $2.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share.

Net income in the second quarter of fiscal year 2005, measured on a non- GAAP(1) basis, totaled $27.2 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, excluding the effects of amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock-based compensation. This compares to a non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004 of $5.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, which excluded the effects of amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, and loss from discontinued operations. Operating income was $30.4 million compared with $2.6 million in the year ago quarter.

"Our strategy is working, and this quarter's excellent growth in revenue and a more than tenfold increase in operating income from the year-ago quarter demonstrate we executed well," said Todd Bradley, palmOne chief executive officer. "Our fall products raised the bar for competitors and earned widespread acclaim. And we grew our handheld-computer market share domestically and abroad."

Bradley noted the following financial highlights:

* Revenue grew approximately 39 percent, marking the sixth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth;

* Gross margin rose to 29.1 percent in the quarter from 27.1 percent in the comparable quarter a year ago;

* Operating margin was 8.1 percent, and non-GAAP operating margin was 8.8 percent;

* Net income was $24.7 million, and non-GAAP net income totaled $27.2 million;

* For the quarter, inventory turns rose to 44 times compared with 26 times in the year-ago period; and

* The company generated $23.7 million in cash from operations in the quarter.

During the quarter, palmOne announced the following:

* The Tungsten(TM) T5 handheld computer, which features 256MB of memory and doubles as a USB drive. Its new non-volatile file structure means data and applications are preserved, even if the battery runs down, and customers can place documents in file folders;

* The Treo(TM) 650 smartphone, which features non-volatile memory, a higher-resolution screen and removable battery. Sprint began carrying this new member of the Treo family, and GSM carriers are expected to begin carrying it in the new year; and

* Integration of the Exchange Server ActiveSync(R) protocol for out-of- the-box compatibility with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, including wireless email and calendar, for the Treo 650 smartphone and successors.(2)

palmOne shipped approximately 1.6 million Zire(TM), Tungsten and Treo family devices during its second fiscal quarter. Unit shipments to date total approximately 29 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES: To supplement the company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, palmOne uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance, including operating income (loss), net income (loss) and per share data, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of the company's current financial performance and the company's prospects for the future. Specifically, the company believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of its core operating results. These non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for planning and forecasting of future periods and facilitating management's internal comparisons to the company's historical operating results and comparisons to competitors' operating results. In addition, because palmOne has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the company's financial reporting. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP financial measures may also be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Consistent with the company's practice, the non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure.
