OTTAWA, Dec. 2, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mitel (Nasdaq:MITL), a leading provider of unified communications software solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 ended October 31, 2010. All financial results are in U.S. dollars.
Financial Highlights
- Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $161.1 million, compared to $162.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
- Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $18.2 million, compared to $22.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
- Cash and cash equivalents as of October 31, 2010 were $90.0 million, up 6 percent compared to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
- Operating cash flows for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $7.4 million, an increase of $10.9M over the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
Net income under U.S. GAAP for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $80.9 million, or $1.45 per share, compared to a net loss of $20.0 million, or $2.23 per share, in the same period last year(1). Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was largely driven by the relief of a valuation allowance of approximately $80.0 million, net of a provision for uncertain tax provisions, primarily relating to Mitel's deferred tax assets in Canada.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $9.1 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $9.2 million, or $0.16 per share, in the same period last year. Please refer to the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables in this release.
"During the second quarter, we made progress on many fronts," stated Don Smith, chief executive officer, Mitel.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income (loss) before (1) interest expense, (2) income tax recovery, (3) amortization and depreciation, (4) foreign exchange gain (loss), (5) fair value adjustment on derivative instruments, (6) special charges and restructuring costs, and (7) stock-based compensation. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, see attached "Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA."
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We prepare Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. We encourage you to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate, as well as the material limitations of non-GAAP measures and the manner in which we compensate for those limitations. See "Selected Financial Data" in Mitel's Annual Report on Form-10-K, which has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 27, 2010 and filed with Canadian securities authorities.
Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Mitel uses non-GAAP measures of operating results, net income and income per share, which are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses we believe appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our current period and comparative prior period GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of Mitel's underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace performance. For example, the non-GAAP results are an indication of our baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. In addition, these adjusted non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or diluted net income per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Forward-Looking Statements
Investors are cautioned that Mitel's historical performance has in the past deviated, in some cases materially, from its financial performance targets. Given that Mitel's sales occur disproportionately in the final weeks of a quarter, Mitel does not intend to update its financial performance targets during or after the quarter and will not comment or report on its third quarter results until after it releases its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 and holds its conference call with respect to such results.
