Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 23, 2008, Harmonic Inc. (“Harmonic” or the “Company”) issued a press release regarding its preliminary and unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 28, 2008. In the press release, Harmonic also announced that it would be holding a conference call on Wednesday, April 23, 2008, to discuss its financial results for the quarter ended March 28, 2008. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, and the information in Exhibit 99.1 is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, and this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibit furnished herewith shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing by Harmonic under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Exchange Act.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In establishing operating budgets, managing its business performance, and setting internal measurement targets, the Company excludes a number of items required by GAAP. Management believes that these accounting charges and credits, which are non-cash or non-recurring in nature, are not useful in managing its operations and business. Historically, the Company has also publicly presented these supplemental non-GAAP measures in order to assist the investment community to see the Company “through the eyes of management,” and thereby enhance understanding of its operating performance. The non-GAAP measures presented in the press release furnished herewith are gross margins, operating expense, net income and net income per share. The presentation of non-GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP results published by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in the press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements contained in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
