Apr 24, 2013, 04:00 ET

SUWANEE, Ga., April 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARRS), today announced preliminary and unaudited financial results for the first quarter 2013.

Revenues in the first quarter 2013 reflect a $13.2 million reduction related to Comcast's investment in ARRIS associated with the Company's acquisition of Motorola Home, which closed on April 17, 2013.  Prior to the adjustment, revenues were $366.8 million.  Including the adjustment, revenues were $353.7 million as compared to first quarter 2012 revenues of $302.9 million and as compared to fourth quarter 2012 revenues of $344.0 million.    

Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) in the first quarter 2013 was $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $0.19 per diluted share for the first quarter 2012 and $0.28 per diluted share for the fourth quarter 2012. GAAP net loss in the first quarter 2013 was $(0.13) per diluted share, as compared to first quarter 2012 GAAP net income of $0.05 per diluted share and fourth quarter 2012 GAAP net income of $0.13 per diluted share. A reconciliation of adjusted net income to GAAP net income per diluted share is attached to this release and also can be found on the Company's website (www.arrisi.com).

Excluding the reduction of revenue and a corresponding reduction in gross profit related to the investment in ARRIS by Comcast, gross margin for the first quarter 2013 was 33.2%. Gross margin including the adjustments for the first quarter 2013 was 30.7%.  The Company ended the first quarter of 2013 with $631.3 million of cash resources, which included $608.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and $22.9 million of long-term marketable security investments, as compared to $584.0 million, in the aggregate, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012. The Company generated $50.1 million of cash from operating activities during the first quarter 2013, which compares to $35.3 million generated in the first quarter 2012.

Order backlog at the end of the first quarter 2013 was $282.1 million as compared to $277.7 million and $222.6 million at the end of the first quarter 2012 and the fourth quarter 2012, respectively. The Company's book-to-bill ratio in the first quarter 2013 was 1.17 as compared to the first quarter 2012 of 1.43 and the fourth quarter 2012 of 1.11.

"Our record first quarter revenues reflect the culmination of a decade of growth during which ARRIS revenues have tripled. I am looking forward to continued growth now that we have closed our acquisition of Motorola Home. We welcome all of our new employees to the ARRIS team.  The combination will be very powerful for our customers and shareholders," said Bob Stanzione, ARRIS Chairman and CEO.

"We are off to a good start to the year with sales and adjusted net income per share in the upper half of our guidance.  As previously disclosed, the investment in ARRIS by Comcast in conjunction with the acquisition of the Motorola Home business resulted in fair value impacts on the balance sheet and income statement; $13.2 million was recorded as a reduction in revenue and gross margin, and $19.3 million was recorded as other expense in the first quarter 2013.  An explanation of the accounting for these impacts is attached to the press release," said David Potts, ARRIS EVP & CFO.  "With the closure of our Motorola Home acquisition last week, we are now in the midst of reviewing our outlook for the second quarter and the balance of 2013. We plan on providing an update in the near future."

ARRIS management will conduct a conference call at 5:00 pm EDT, today, Wednesday, April 24, 2013, to discuss these results in detail. You may participate in this conference call by dialing (888) 680-0892 or (617) 213-4858 for international calls prior to the start of the call and providing the ARRIS Group, Inc. name, conference pass code 78256359, and Bob Puccini as the moderator.

Forward-looking statements:

Statements made in this press release and in the related conference call, including those related to:

  • growth expectations and business prospects;
  • revenues and net income for the second quarter 2013 and beyond;
  • expected sales levels and acceptance of new ARRIS products; and
  • the general market outlook and industry trends

are forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in these statements.  Among other things,

  • projected results for the second quarter 2013 as well as the general outlook for 2013 are based on preliminary estimates, assumptions and projections that management believes to be reasonable at this time, but are beyond management's control;
  • ARRIS' customers operate in a capital intensive consumer based industry, and the current economic uncertainty or changes in customer spending may adversely impact their ability or willingness  to purchase the products that the Company offers; and
  • because the market in which ARRIS operates is volatile, actions taken and contemplated may not achieve the desired impact relative to changing market conditions and the success of these strategies will be dependent on the effective implementation of those plans while minimizing organizational disruption.

In addition to the factors set forth elsewhere in this release, other factors that could cause results to differ from current expectations include: the current volatility in the capital markets, the potential impact on the business of the Motorola Home acquisition, the retention of employees and the ability of ARRIS to successfully integrate Motorola Home's business opportunities, technology, personnel and operations; its impact on our customers' plans and access to capital; the impact of rapidly changing technologies; the impact of competition on product development and pricing; the ability of ARRIS to react to changes in general industry and market conditions including regulatory developments; rights to intellectual property, market trends and the adoption of industry standards; and consolidations within the telecommunications industry of both the customer and supplier base.  These factors are not intended to be an all-encompassing list of risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company's business. Additional information regarding these and other factors can be found in ARRIS' reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.  In providing forward-looking statements, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update publicly or otherwise these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
