Cyalume Technologies Holdings Announces Results for the Second Quarter of 2011


WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Aug. 10, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cyalume Technologies Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:CYLU), the world leader in chemiluminescent technology, today announced results for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The company reported revenues of $8.7 million compared with revenues of $9.4 million for the second quarter of 2010. Fully diluted EPS for the second quarter was $0.06 compared to $0.07 in the second quarter 2010.

Adjusted net income, which is net income excluding amortization expense, was $1.3 million, compared to $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA, which is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, foreign currency gains and losses, and certain one-time gains or expenses, totaled $2.0 million compared to $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2010.

Adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA are important measures because they present a view of our performance on an ongoing basis without regard to capital structures, capital investments cycles and corresponding ages of related assets among comparable companies. Comparable GAAP amounts and reconciliation to GAAP are contained later in this release.

"Through the second quarter, the business continued to perform well with stable gross margins. Despite the U.S. budgetary restraints, we continued to see strong order flow from our European operations. Furthermore, sales of reflective products increased, as expected, following accelerated production to fulfill new and existing orders. Looking forward, we're strongly focused on growing the ammunition business pipeline and continuing development and deployment of new products," commented Cyalume president and CEO, Derek Dunaway.

The company will host a management conference call tomorrow, August 11th, at 11:00 a.m ET to discuss the quarter's results.

Results of Operations -- Adjusted Basis

Adjusted net income is an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this information. We define adjusted net income as the net income of Cyalume excluding amortization expense. The adjusted net income measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income. Adjusted net income is an important internal measurement for us. We measure the performance of the overall Company on this basis. The following are examples of how we use adjusted net income:

  • Senior management and the Board of Directors receive a quarterly analysis of our operating results that is prepared on an adjusted net income basis;
  • Our annual budget, as presented to the Board of Directors, is prepared on an adjusted net income basis

Despite the importance of this measure, we stress that adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that has no standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP and therefore, has limits in its usefulness to investors. Due to its non-standardized definition, adjusted net income (unlike U.S. GAAP net income) may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Adjusted net income is presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance.

Adjusted EBITDA (a Non-GAAP Financial Measure)

Cyalume defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, foreign currency gains or losses and one-time income or expense items. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for establishing internal budgets, goals and certain performance bonuses. Internal financial reports including those provided to the Board of Directors, focus on Adjusted EBITDA. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily an indicator of overall cash flows of Cyalume, management reviews capital budgets and cash flow forecasts in parallel with Adjusted EBITDA analysis. Because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, foreign currency gains or losses and one-time income or expense items, Cyalume considers this financial measure an important indicator of Cyalume's liquidity, operational strength and performance. Investors may find Adjusted EBITDA useful as it illustrates underlying operating trends in Cyalume's business.

In addition, components of Adjusted EBITDA are a key component in the determination of our compliance with certain covenants under our credit agreements. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, cash flows, or other consolidated income or cash flow data presented in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of our liquidity or financial condition. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as discussed may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The use of Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental liquidity measure is useful as it assists management in understanding and evaluating the Company's capacity, excluding the impact of interest, taxes, and non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, for servicing debt and other cash needs, prior to our consideration of the impacts of other potential sources and uses of cash, such as working capital items. Investors may find it useful for these purposes as well. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, since it omits the impact of interest, taxes and changes in working capital that use or provide cash (such as receivables, payables and inventories) as well as the sources or uses of cash associated with changes in other balance sheet items (such as long-term loss accruals and deferred items). Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for the replacement of the assets being depreciated and amortized, which assets will often have to be replaced in the future. Further, Adjusted EBITDA, because it also does not reflect the impact of debt service, income taxes, cash dividends, capital expenditures and other cash commitments, does not represent how much discretionary cash we have available for other purposes. Nonetheless, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure expected by and useful to our investors, rating agencies and the banking community in the analysis of a Company's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and otherwise meet cash needs, respectively. Cyalume also evaluates Adjusted EBITDA because it is clear that movements in these non-GAAP measures impact the Company's ability to attract financing. Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
