Revenue Up 62%, Operating Margin 8.5%
Hong Kong, Sept 23, 2004 -- palmOne, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLMO) today reported revenue of $273.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2005, ended Aug. 27, which is up 62 percent from the $168.6 million reported during the comparable quarter a year ago.

Net income in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005, measured on a non- GAAP(1) basis, totaled $21.9 million, or $0.43 per share, excluding the effects of amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock-based compensation. This compares to a non-GAAP net loss in the first quarter of fiscal year 2004 of $14.1 million, or $0.48 per share, which excluded the effects of amortization of intangible assets and deferred stock-based compensation and restructuring charges.
"Our handheld and smartphone solutions performed very well in the marketplace. Outstanding products plus operational excellence resulted in strong growth and profitability," said Todd Bradley, palmOne chief executive officer. "Excitement is mounting in our category, and we're confident that our innovative products coupled with our excellent distribution through retail and carrier channels will help us maintain and extend our market leadership."

- Unit sales of handheld computers was up 10 percent vs. the year-ago period;
- LGross margin rose to 33.3 percent in the quarter, compared to 30.5 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004 and 28.1 percent in the comparable quarter a year ago;
- Operating margin was 8.5 percent, and non-GAAP operating margin was 9.3 percent;
- Net income was $19.6 million, and non-GAAP net income totaled $21.9 million;
- Inventory turns rose to 44 times compared with 21 times in the year- ago period; and

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.
