ROCHESTER, NY - October 27, 2005 -- Performance Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq NM: PTIX), a leading developer of platforms, components, software and services for the communications, military and commercial markets, today announced its financial results for the third quarter 2005. Revenue in the third quarter 2005 amounted to $12.3 million, compared to $10.8 million in the second quarter 2005 and $11.6 million in the corresponding quarter a year earlier. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 amounted to $36.3 million, compared to $40.4 million during the corresponding period in 2004. GAAP Information Net income for the third quarter 2005 totaled $.9 million, or $.07 per diluted share based on 13.1 million shares outstanding. Net income for the third quarter 2004 totaled $1.4 million, or $.11 per diluted share, based on 13.0 million shares outstanding. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 totaled $2.2 million, or $.17 per diluted share based on 13.1 million shares outstanding. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net income totaled $4.0 million, or $.30 per diluted share based on 13.4 million shares outstanding. Non-GAAP Information Management believes that the Company's results excluding non-recurring items ("Non-GAAP") provide another measure of its operations as non-recurring items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency, amounts and cause. There were no differences between GAAP and Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter 2005 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter 2004 totaled $.2 million, or $.02 per diluted share based on 13.0 million shares outstanding. This Non-GAAP net income excluded the gain realized on the sale of the Company's minority interest in Momentum Computer, Inc., which amounted to $1.2 million, or $.09 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 totaled $3.0 million, or $.22 per diluted share based on 13.4 million shares outstanding. This Non-GAAP net income excluded in-process research and development expense associated with the acquisition of Mapletree Networks in the first quarter 2004 and the gain on sale of the minority interest in Momentum Computer, Inc. Cash and investments amounted to $29.9 million and $25.6 million at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and the Company had no long-term debt at either date. The following contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company is a leading developer of platforms, components, software and services for the embedded systems market. This marketplace is comprised of several sectors, with telecommunications being the largest. A breakdown of applications that utilize the Company's products and platforms include: Voice-over-IP (VoIP) representing approximately 40%, wireless infrastructure representing 40%, and the balance spread across various communications, military and commercial requirements. The Company's products are sold as individual components or can be provided as fully integrated, purpose built, packet-based platforms for the embedded communications marketplace. When sold as integrated platforms (Advanced Managed Platforms) these products offer customers distinct cost advantages, increase overall system reliability and performance, and improve time-to-market for their products. The Company's Advanced Managed Platforms, based on the PICMG 2.16 standard, are applicable to the broader embedded systems market, not just telecommunications. Since the introduction of the Advanced Managed Platform in 2003, this product line has realized more than 30 new design wins, with each expected to generate greater than $.5 million of annualized revenue when reaching production volumes. While only a small number of these design wins had reached production levels at the beginning of 2005, an increasing number of these design wins are moving to production this year. Several new products recently introduced by the Company include an AdvancedTCA (ATCA) Advanced Managed Platform offering, a variety of media and packet-processing slot components and a new cost-effective IP-STP signaling system, which began shipping to telecom operators this quarter. Management believes these products provide both innovative solutions to customers and high-growth prospects for future Company revenue. The Company's wireless infrastructure business is reliant upon carrier spending to upgrade networks to next-generation equipment. During the third quarter 2005, actual shipments by the Company to the telecommunications equipment providers for domestic wireless network infrastructure were comparable to the preceding quarter. "Sequentially, our earnings and revenue showed significant improvement in the third quarter, despite shipments for domestic wireless network infrastructure remaining relatively flat in the quarter," said Donald Turrell, president and chief executive officer. "We believe the third quarter's revenue growth reflects a material strengthening of our business and we anticipate accelerated spending for wireless network infrastructure to begin in the fourth quarter. If this expected spending occurs and the other components of our business continue their recent improvements, we expect to see positive and meaningful growth for our business as we complete the fiscal year." In October 2004, management announced commencement of a plan to centralize its multi-location operations and to streamline the organization. By the end of the first quarter 2005, the Company had completed centralization of all sales, marketing and accounting functions into corporate operations resulting in anticipated annualized savings of $1.3 million per year. During the third quarter 2005, the transition of the remaining manufacturing functions into the Rochester manufacturing operation was completed resulting in anticipated annualized savings of $.7 million per year. During the third quarter 2005, the Company incurred a charge of $.1 million related to these restructuring efforts. A portion of the savings realized under this plan will be reinvested to stimulate future growth. During the first quarter 2005, the Company announced that its current president and chief executive officer, Donald Turrell, will leave the Company's executive management at the end of 2005. The Succession Committee of the Board of Directors has retained an executive search firm to assist in the process of identifying qualified individuals for this position and candidates have been interviewed. Mr. Turrell will maintain active involvement throughout the transition of the Company's change in leadership and expects to remain as a board member thereafter. Guidance The Company's integrated platforms, components, software solutions and services are incorporated into current and next-generation embedded communications infrastructure. Traditionally, design wins have been an important metric for management to judge the Company's product acceptance in its marketplace. Design wins, if implemented, reach production volumes at varying rates, generally beginning twelve to eighteen months after the design win occurs. A variety of risks such as schedule delays, cancellations, changes in customer markets and economic conditions can adversely affect a design win before production is reached, or during deployment. During the third quarter 2005, the Company realized six design wins for its Advanced Managed Platforms, IPnexus(TM) and SEGway(TM) product families. Each is expected to generate greater than $.5 million of annualized revenue when reaching production volumes. During weak or uncertain economic periods, the visibility for customer orders is limited which frequently causes delays in the placement of orders. These factors often result in a substantial portion of the Company's revenue being derived from orders placed within a quarter and shipped in the final month of the same quarter. Unfortunately, forward-looking visibility for customer orders continues to be very limited. The Company provides guidance related to earnings per share expected in future quarters. Any additional information provided, such as revenue forecasts, is provided as supplementary information to the earnings per share guidance. Management expects diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter to be in the range of $.10 to $.13. Based upon the current business mix, the current backlog and review of sales forecasts, revenue is forecasted to be in the range of $13.0 million to $14.0 million in the fourth quarter. Gross margin is expected to be approximately 50.0% to 51.5% and the effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter is expected to be 26%. More in-depth discussions of the Company's strategy and financial performance can be found in the Company's Annual and Quarterly Reports, on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
