HARMONIC INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which Harmonic Inc.
(Harmonic, the Company or we) considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for the interim periods covered and the consolidated financial condition of the Company
at the date of the balance sheets. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction
with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2009.
The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, or any other future period.
The Companys fiscal quarters are based on 13-week periods, except for the fourth quarter which
ends on December 31.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Reclassifications. The Company has reclassified certain prior period balances to conform to the
current year presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on previously reported total
assets, total liabilities, stockholders equity, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)).
SFAS 141(R) uses the fair value definition in SFAS 157, which defines fair value as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 141(R) also changes the method of
applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. Acquisition costs will generally
be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition
date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived
intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business
combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred
tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally
will affect income tax expense. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes such
that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies
associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS 141(R) would also
apply the provisions of SFAS 141 (R). SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and was adopted by us on January 1, 2009. See Note 3 for disclosures relating to
the acquisition of Scopus Video Networks Ltd., or Scopus, which was completed on March 12, 2009.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2, which delayed the
effective date of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, to fiscal years ending after November 15,
2008 for non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at
fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. FSP FAS
157-2 became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
November 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-2 in the first
quarter of 2009 did not have a material impact on the Companys
financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statementsan amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes
accounting and reporting
standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount
of consolidated net
5
income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes
in a parents ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments
when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly
identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the
noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008,
and has been adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The implementation of this standard
did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure
requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide
enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how
derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its
related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an
entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.
The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of
operations and financial condition.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful
Life of Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing
renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible
assets under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This new guidance applies
prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets
in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption was
prohibited. The adoption of FSP 142-3 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 did not have a material
effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In November 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF No. 08-7, Accounting for Defensive
Intangible Assets (EITF 08-7) that clarifies accounting for defensive intangible assets
subsequent to initial measurement. EITF 08-7 applies to acquired intangible assets which an entity
has no intention of actively using, or intends to discontinue use of, but holds it (locks up) to
prevent others from obtaining access to it (i.e., a defensive intangible asset). Under EITF 08-7,
the Task Force reached a consensus that an acquired defensive asset should be accounted for as a
separate unit of accounting (i.e., an asset separate from other assets of the acquirer); and the
useful life assigned to an acquired defensive asset should be based on the period which the asset
would diminish in value. EITF 08-7 is effective for defensive intangible assets acquired in fiscal
years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of EITF 08-7 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2009 did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial
condition.
In April 2009, the FASB issued the following new accounting standards:

|
|
FASB Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments, (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,
amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments, to
require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in
annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial
Reporting, to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. |
|
|
|
|
FASB Staff Position FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of
Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying
Transactions That Are Not Orderly, (FSP FAS 157-4). FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidelines
for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS
157. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional authoritative guidance in determining whether a
market is active or inactive, and whether a transaction is distressed, and is applicable to
all assets and liabilities (i.e. financial and nonfinancial) and will require enhanced
disclosures. |
6
|
|
|
FASB Staff Position FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS
124-2 provides additional guidance to provide greater clarity about the credit and
noncredit component of another-than-temporary impairment event and to more effectively
communicate when another-than-temporary impairment event has occurred. This FSP applies to
debt securities. |
All three FSPs are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early
adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Upon implementation at the beginning of
the second quarter of 2009, the FSPs are not expected to have a significant impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3: SCOPUS ACQUISITION
On March 12, 2009, Harmonic completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Scopus
Video Networks Ltd., or Scopus, a publicly traded company based in Israel. Scopus engages in the
development and support of digital video networking products that allow network operators to
transmit, process, and manage digital video content. Scopus primary products include integrated
receivers/decoders (IRD), intelligent video gateways (IVG), and encoders. In addition, the
Company markets multiplexers, network management systems (NMS), and other ancillary technology to
its customers.
The acquisition of Scopus strengthens Harmonics technology and market leadership, particularly in
the broadcast contribution and distribution markets. The acquisition extends Harmonics
diversification strategy, providing it with an expanded international sales force and global
customer base, particularly in video broadcast, contribution and distribution markets, as well as
complementary video processing technology and expanded research and development capability. In
addition, the acquisition provides an assembled workforce, the implicit value of future cost
savings as a result of combining entities, and is expected to provide Harmonic with future
unidentified new products and technologies, These opportunities were significant factors to the
establishment of the purchase price, which exceeded the fair value of Scopus net tangible and
intangible assets acquired resulting in goodwill of approximately $21.0 million that was recorded
in connection with this acquisition.
The purchase price, net of $23.3 million of cash acquired, was $62.4 million, which was paid from
existing cash balances. We also incurred a total of $3.4 million of transaction expenses, which
were expensed as selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2009.
The assets and liabilities of Scopus were recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. We
will recognize additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and
circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the
recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. The measurement period shall not
exceed one year from the acquisition date. Further, any associated restructuring activities will be
expensed in future periods and not recorded through purchase accounting as previously done under
SFAS 141. Subsequent to the acquisition, we recorded expenses in the period ended April 3, 2009,
primarily for excess and obsolete inventories related to product discontinuances and severance
costs.
The results of operations of Scopus are included in Harmonics Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations from March 12, 2009, the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the
allocation of the purchase price based on the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities
assumed at the date of acquisition:

The purchase price set forth in the table above was based on the fair value of the tangible and
intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the
March 12, 2009.
We used an overall discount rate of 16% to estimate the fair value
of the intangible assets acquired, which was derived based on
financial metrics of comparable companies operating in Scopus
industry. In determining the
appropriate discount rates to use in valuing each of the individual intangible assets, we adjusted
the overall discount rate of 16% giving consideration to the specific
risk factors of
each asset. The following methods, using SFAS 157 as the framework for measuring fair value, were
used to value the identified intangible assets:
|
|
|
The fair value of the existing technology assets acquired were established based on
their highest and best used by a market participant using the Income Approach. The Income
Approach includes an analysis of the markets, cash flows and risks associated with
achieving such cash flows to calculate the fair value. As of the acquisition date, Scopus
was developing new versions and incremental improvements to its IRD, encoder and IVG
products; |
|
|
|
|
The in-process projects are at a stage of development that require further research and
development to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability. The fair value of
the in-process technology assets acquired were based on the valuation premise that the
assets would be In-Use using a discounted cash flow model; |
|
|
|
|
The fair value of patents/core technology assets acquired were established based on a
variation of the Income Approach called the Profit Allocation Method. In the Profit
Allocation Method, we estimate the value of the patents/core technology by capitalizing the
profits saved because Harmonic owns the technology; |
|
|
|
|
The fair value of the customer contracts and related relationships assets acquired were
based on the Income Approach; |
|
|
|
|
The fair value of the maintenance agreements and related relationships assets acquired
were based on the Income Approach; |
|
|
|
|
The fair value of trade names/trademarks assets acquired were established based on the
Profit Allocation Method, and |
8
|
|
|
The fair value of backlog acquired was established based on the Cost Savings Approach. |
Identified intangible assets are being amortized over the following useful lives:
|
|
|
Existing technology is estimated to have a useful life between three years and five
years; |
|
|
|
|
In-process technology will be amortized upon completion over its projected remaining
useful life as assessed on the completion date. The completion of the in-process technology
is expected within the next twelve months; |
|
|
|
|
Patents/core technology are being amortized over their useful life of four years; |
|
|
|
|
Customer contracts and related relationships are being amortized over their useful life
of between four years and five years; |
|
|
|
|
Maintenance agreements and related relationships are being amortized over their useful
life of four years, and |
|
|
|
|
Trade name/trademarks are being amortized over their useful lives of five years; and
|
|
|
|
|
Order backlog is being amortized over its useful life of six months. |
The existing technology, patents/core technology, customer contracts, maintenance agreements, trade
name/trademarks and backlog are being amortized using the straight-line method which reflects the
future projected cash flows.
The residual purchase price of $21.0 million has been recorded as goodwill. The goodwill as a
result of this acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. In accordance with
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill relating to the acquisition of
Scopus is not being amortized and will be tested for impairment annually or whenever events
indicate that an impairment may have occurred.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presented below summarizes the combined
results of operations as if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2008. The unaudited pro
forma financial information for the three months ended March 28, 2008 combines the results for
Harmonic for the three months ended March 28, 2008, and the historical results of Scopus for the
three months ended March 31, 2008.
The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months
ended April 3, 2009 combines the results for Harmonic for the three
months ended April 3, 2009 with the results of Scopus through March
12, 2009, the acquisition date.
The pro forma financial information is presented for
informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had
the merger actually been completed on such date or of results which may occur in the future.

For the
period from March 12, 2009 to April 3, 2009, Scopus products contributed revenues of $1.5
million and a net loss of $8.3 million. Included in the net
loss attributable to Scopus for the first quarter of 2009 are excess and
obsolete inventories expense of $5.8 million and severance
expenses of $1.1 million.
NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about the fair value
measurements of assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 requires the Company to classify and disclose
assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis, as well as fair value measurements of assets and liabilities in periods subsequent to
initial measurement, in a three-tier fair value hierarchy as described below.
9
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used
to measure fair value under SFAS 157 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize use of
unobservable inputs. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair
value:
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that
are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full
term of the assets or liabilities. The Company primarily uses broker quotes in a non-active
market for valuation of its short-term investments. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and
that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The Company uses the market approach to measure fair value of its financial assets and liabilities
on a recurring basis. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by
market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. During the three
months ended April 3, 2009, there were no nonrecurring fair value measurements of assets and
liabilities subsequent to initial recognition.
In accordance with SFAS 157, the following table represents Harmonics fair value hierarchy for its
financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 3, 2009:

Our auction rate securities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant
Level 3 inputs as of December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $10.7 million
of auction rate securities, or ARSs, classified as short-term investments and the fair value of
these securities approximated cost at the balance sheet date. These ARSs which were invested in
preferred securities in closed end funds, all had a credit rating of
AA+ or better and the issuers were paying interest at the maximum contractual rate. During the
first quarter of 2009, the Company was able to sell $10.7 million of auction rate securities to an
investment manager at par, plus accrued interest and dividends.

Impairment of Investments
We monitor our investment portfolio for impairment on a periodic basis. In the event that the
carrying value of an investment exceeds its fair value and the decline in value is determined to be
other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis for the investment is
established. In order to determine whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, we evaluate,
among other factors: the duration and extent to which the fair value has been less than the
carrying value; our financial condition and business outlook, including key operational and cash
flow metrics, current market conditions and future trends in our industry; our relative competitive
position within the industry; and our intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of
time sufficient to allow any anticipated recovery in fair value.
As of April 3, 2009, there are no individual available-for-sale securities in a material unrealized
loss position and the amount of unrealized losses on the total investment balance was
insignificant.

NOTE 7: RESTRUCTURING AND EXCESS FACILITIES
In the
first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a total of $7.3 million of expenses related to
activities resulting from the Scopus acquisition, including the
termination of approximately 65
Scopus employees. A charge of $6.3 million was recorded in cost of sales, consisting of excess and
obsolete inventory expense from product discontinuance and severance expenses for terminated
Scopus employees. Research and development expenses were $0.6 million for terminated Scopus
employees. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $0.5 million consisting primarily
of severance expenses for terminated Scopus employees. Substantially all of the severance was paid
during the three months ended April 3, 2009.
The Company has recorded restructuring and excess facilities charges beginning in 2001 and
throughout subsequent years as a result of changing conditions in the use of its facilities in the
United States and the United Kingdom, or UK. The initial expenses that had been recorded to
selling, general and administrative expense and the related liabilities have been adjusted
periodically for changes in sublease income estimates.
As of April 3, 2009, accrued excess facilities cost totaled $9.8 million, of which $6.5 million was
included in current accrued liabilities and $3.3 million in other non-current liabilities. The
Company incurred cash outlays of $1.6 million during the first three months of 2009 principally for
lease payments, property taxes, insurance and other maintenance fees related to vacated facilities.
Harmonic expects to pay approximately $4.8 million of excess facility lease costs, net of estimated
sublease income, for the remainder of 2009 and to pay the remaining $5.0 million, net of estimated
sublease income, over the remaining lease terms through October 2010.
Harmonic reassesses this liability quarterly and adjusts as necessary based on changes in the
timing and amounts of expected sublease rental income.

NOTE 8: CREDIT FACILITIES AND LONG-TERM DEBT
Harmonic has a bank line of credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, which provides for borrowings
of up to $10.0 million that matures on March 3, 2010. As of April 3, 2009, other than standby
letters of credit and guarantees (Note 15), there were no amounts outstanding under the line of
credit facility and there were no borrowings in 2008 or 2009. This facility, which was amended and
restated in March 2009, contains a financial covenant with the requirement for Harmonic to maintain
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, net of credit extensions, of not less than $40.0
million. If Harmonic is unable to maintain this cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
balance, Harmonic would be in noncompliance with the facility. In the event of noncompliance by
Harmonic with the covenant under the facility, Silicon Valley Bank would be entitled to exercise
its remedies under the facility which include declaring all obligations immediately due and
payable. At April 3, 2009, Harmonic was in compliance with the covenants under this line of credit
facility. Future borrowings pursuant to the line would bear interest at the banks prime rate (4.0%
at April 3, 2009). Borrowings are payable monthly and are not collateralized.
NOTE 9: BENEFIT PLANS
Stock Option Plans. Harmonic has reserved 17,429,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under
various employee stock option plans. Stock options are granted for periods not exceeding ten years
and generally vest 25% at one year from date of grant, and an additional 1/48 per month thereafter.
Restricted stock units generally have no exercise price and vest over four years with 25% vesting
at one year from date of grant or the vesting
commencement date chosen for the award, and either an additional 1/16 per quarter thereafter, or
1/8 semiannually
13
thereafter. Stock options are granted having exercise prices equal to the fair
market value of the stock at the date of grant. Beginning on February 27, 2006, option grants have
a term of seven years. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change
in control. In the first quarter of 2009, employees received restricted stock units valued at $6.6
million, which will begin vesting on February 15, 2010.
Director Option Plans. In May 2002, Harmonics stockholders approved the 2002 Director Option Plan
(the Plan), replacing the 1995 Director Option Plan. In June 2006, Harmonics stockholders
approved an amendment to the Plan and increased the maximum number of shares of common stock
authorized for issuance over the term of the Plan by an additional 300,000 shares to 700,000 shares
and reduced the term of future options granted under the Plan to seven years. In May 2008, Harmonic
stockholders approved amendments to the Plan and increased the maximum number of shares of common
stock authorized for issuance by an additional 100,000 to 800,000 shares. Harmonic had a total of
667,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan as of April 3, 2009. The Plan
provides for the grant of non-statutory stock options or restricted stock units to certain
non-employee directors of Harmonic. Restricted stock units, or RSUs, generally have no exercise
price and vest either after one year or the vesting commencement date chosen for such award.
Restricted stock units granted reduce the number of shares reserved for grant under the Plan by two
shares for every unit granted. Stock options are granted at fair market value of the stock at the
date of grant for periods not exceeding ten years. Initial option grants generally vest monthly
over three years, and subsequent grants generally vest monthly over one year. In the third quarter
of 2008, each non-employee director received restricted stock units valued at $80,000 on July 31,
2008, which will vest on May 15, 2009. During 2008 there were a total of 71,833 restricted stock
units granted.

The weighted-average remaining contractual life for all exercisable stock options at April 3, 2009
was 3.7 years. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of all vested and expected-to-vest
stock options at April 3, 2009 was 4.5 years.
Aggregate pre-tax intrinsic value of options exercisable at April 3, 2009 was $3.5 million. The
aggregate intrinsic value of stock options vested and expected-to-vest net of estimated forfeitures
was $5.0 million at April 3, 2009. The aggregate intrinsic value of restricted stock units vested
and expected-to-vest, net of estimated forfeitures, was $7.9 million at April 3, 2009. Aggregate
pre-tax intrinsic value represents the difference between our closing price on the last trading day
of the fiscal period, which was $6.94 as of April 3, 2009, and the exercise price multiplied by the
number of options outstanding or exercisable. The intrinsic value of exercised stock options is
calculated based on the difference between the exercise price and the current market value at the
time of exercise. The aggregate intrinsic value of exercised stock options was insignificant during
the three months ended April 3, 2009.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In May 2002, Harmonics stockholders approved the 2002 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (the 2002 Purchase Plan) replacing the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan effective
for the offering period beginning on July 1, 2002. In May 2004, Harmonics stockholders approved an
amendment to the 2002 Purchase Plan and increased the maximum number of shares of common stock
authorized for issuance over the term of the 2002 Purchase Plan by an additional 2,000,000 shares.
In June 2006, Harmonics stockholders approved an amendment to the 2002 Purchase Plan to increase
the maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2002 Purchase Plan by
an additional 2,000,000 shares to 5,500,000 shares and reduce the term of future offering periods
to six months, which became effective for the offering period beginning January 1, 2007. The 2002
Purchase Plan enables employees to purchase shares at 85% of the fair market value of the Common
Stock at the beginning or end of the offering period, whichever is lower. Offering periods
generally begin on the first trading day on or after January 1 and July 1 of each year. The 2002
Purchase Plan is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the
Internal Revenue Code. During the first three months of 2009 and 2008, the number of shares of
stock issued under the purchase plan were 352,071 and 229,808 shares at weighted average prices of
$5.41 and $7.58, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of each right to purchase shares of
common stock granted under the purchase plan was $2.26 and $2.65 for the first three months of 2009
and 2008, respectively. At April 3, 2009, there were 993,008 shares reserved for future issuances
under the 2002 Purchase Plan.
Retirement/Savings Plan. Harmonic has a retirement/savings plan which qualifies as a thrift plan
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan allows participants to contribute up
to 20% of total compensation, subject to applicable Internal Revenue Service limitations. Harmonic

The expected term for stock options and the 2002 Purchase Plan represents the weighted-average
period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. Our computation of expected life
was determined based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the
contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee
behavior.
We use the historical volatility over the expected term of the options and the 2002 Purchase Plan
offering period to estimate the expected volatility. We believe that the historical volatility, at
this time, represents fairly the future volatility of our common stock. We will continue to monitor
relevant information to measure expected volatility for future option grants and 2002 Purchase Plan
offering periods.
The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the
term of our employee stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and
expectation of dividend payouts.
NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision includes U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes and is
based on the application of a forecasted annual income tax rate applied to the current quarters
year-to-date pre-tax income (loss). In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate,
the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the Companys annual earnings,
taxing jurisdiction, in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income
taxes, the Companys ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, and available
tax planning alternatives. Discrete items, including the effect of changes in tax laws, tax rates,
and certain circumstances with respect to valuation allowances or other unusual or non-recurring
tax adjustments are reflected in the period in which they occur as an addition to, or reduction
from, the income tax provision, rather than included in the estimated effective annual income tax
rate.
For the three months ended April 3, 2009, our effective tax rate, which includes discrete items,
was (89.8%) compared
to 6.5% for the same period a year ago. The difference between our effective tax rate and the
federal statutory rate of
16
35% was primarily attributable to the differential in foreign tax rates,
non deductible SFAS 123(R) stock compensation expense, non-deductible acquisition costs, income tax
credits, and various discrete items. The discrete items recorded in the current period increased
the effective tax rate for the quarter by approximately 60%, which was principally related to new
California tax legislation net of a reversal of previously provided foreign income tax due to
statute of limitation expirations.
On February 20, 2009, California enacted new legislation, which (among other things) provides
for the election of a single factor apportionment formula beginning in 2011. As a result of our
anticipated election of the single sales factor, we are required under SFAS 109 to compute our
deferred taxes taking into account the reversal pattern and the expected California tax rate under
the elective single sales factor. The impact of the new legislation results in a change to the
state effective tax rate used to compute the Companys California deferred tax asset resulting in a
corresponding reduction to the amount of previously recorded California deferred tax asset. In
addition, we recorded a valuation allowance on a portion
of certain California tax attributes that
will not be realizable in the foreseeable future given the expected decrease in the amount of
income that will be allocated to California under the single factor apportionment formula. The tax
impact of the California re-measurement of the deferred taxes and the related valuation allowance
has been recorded as a discrete item in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
In compliance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), the Company had gross unrecognized tax
benefits, which include interest and penalties of approximately $50.5 million as of December 31,
2008, and approximately $49.9 million as of April 3, 2009. If all of these unrecognized tax
benefits were recognized, the entire amount would impact the provision for income taxes. We
anticipate the unrecognized tax benefits to decrease by $2.5 million in the next 12 months due to
statute of limitation expirations.
We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
During the quarter ended April 3, 2009, we recorded $0.2 million for interest and penalties related
to uncertain tax positions resulting in a balance at April 3, 2009 of $3.9 million.
The tax years 2001- 2008 remain open to examination by various federal, state and foreign taxing
jurisdictions to which we are subject.
NOTE 11: NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to
common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of the common shares outstanding
during the period. The diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the
three months ended April 3, 2009 because potential common shares, such as common shares issuable
under the exercise of stock options or the employee stock purchase plan, are only considered when
their effect would be dilutive.
The following table shows the potentially dilutive shares, consisting of options, restricted stock
units and ESPP shares, for the periods presented that were excluded from the net income (loss)
computations because their effect was antidilutive:

respectively.
NOTE 14: RELATED PARTY
A director of Harmonic is also a director of JDS Uniphase Corporation, from whom the Company
purchases products used in the manufacture of our products. Product purchases from JDS Uniphase
were approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended April 3, 2009, respectively. As of April
3, 2009, Harmonic liabilities to JDS Uniphase were insignificant.
NOTE 15: GUARANTEES
Warranties. The Company accrues for estimated warranty costs at the time of product shipment.
Management periodically reviews the estimated fair value of its warranty liability and records
adjustments based on the terms of warranties provided to customers, historical and anticipated

Standby Letters of Credit. As of April 3, 2009, the Companys financial guarantees consisted of
standby letters of credit outstanding, which were principally related to performance bonds and
state requirements imposed on employers. The maximum amount of potential future payments under
these arrangements was $0.5 million.
Indemnification. Harmonic is obligated to indemnify its officers and the members of its Board of
Directors pursuant to its bylaws and contractual indemnity agreements. Harmonic also indemnifies
some of its suppliers and customers for specified intellectual property matters pursuant to certain
contractual arrangements, subject to certain limitations. The scope of these indemnities varies,
but in some instances, includes indemnification for damages and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys fees). There have been no claims against us for indemnification pursuant to any of these
arrangements and, accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in respect of the indemnification
provisions through April 3, 2009.
19
Guarantees. As of April 3, 2009, Harmonic had no other guarantees outstanding.
NOTE 16: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On May 15, 2003, a derivative action purporting to be on our behalf was filed in the Superior Court
for the County of Santa Clara against certain current and former officers and directors. It alleges
facts similar to those alleged in the securities class action filed in 2000 and settled in 2008. On
December 23, 2008, the Court granted preliminary approval to a settlement of the derivative action.
On February 26, 2009, the settlement was submitted to the Court for final approval. The terms of
the settlement require final approval of the settlement in the securities action, which has
occurred, and payment by the Company of $550,000 to cover plaintiffs attorneys fees. On March 20,
2009, the Court granted final approval, which released Harmonics officers and directors from all
claims brought in the derivative lawsuit and the Company paid $550,000 for the plaintiffs
attorneys fees.
On July 3, 2003, Stanford University and Litton Systems filed a complaint in U.S. District Court
for the Central District of California alleging that optical fiber amplifiers incorporated into
certain of Harmonics products infringe U.S. Patent No. 4859016. This patent expired in September
2003. The complaint sought injunctive relief, royalties and damages. On August 6, 2007, the
District Court granted our motion to dismiss. The plaintiffs appealed this motion and on June 19,
2008 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision which vacated the District
Courts decision and remanded for further proceedings. At a scheduling conference on September 6,
2008, the judge ordered the parties to mediation. Two mediation sessions were held in November and
December 2008. Following the mediation sessions, Harmonic and Litton entered into a settlement
agreement on January 15, 2009. The settlement agreement provides that in exchange for a one-time
lump sum payment from Harmonic to Litton of $5 million, Litton (i) will not bring suit against
Harmonic, any of its affiliates, customers, vendors, representatives, distributors, and its
contract manufacturers from having any liability for making, using, offering for sale, importing,
and/or selling any Harmonic products that may have incorporated technology that was alleged to have
infringed on one or more of the relevant patents and (ii) would release Harmonic from any liability
for making, using or selling any Harmonic products that may have infringed on such patents. The
Company recorded a provision of $5.0 million in its selling, general and administrative expenses
for the year ended December 31, 2008. Harmonic paid the settlement amount in January 2009.
An unfavorable outcome on any other litigation matter could require that Harmonic pay substantial
damages, or, in connection with any intellectual property infringement claims, could require that
we pay ongoing royalty payments or could prevent us from selling certain of our products. A
settlement or an unfavorable outcome on any other litigation matter could have a material adverse
effect on Harmonics business, operating results, financial position or cash flows.
Harmonic may be subject to claims arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of
management the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these matters in the aggregate will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company or its operating results, financial position or cash
flows.

|
|
Our expectation that international sales will continue to account for a significant
portion of our net sales for the foreseeable future; |

spending by our customers, which could have a material and adverse affect on sales of our
products and services, and our operating results; |
|
|
Our expectation that we will record a total of approximately $6.6 million in
amortization of intangibles in cost of sales in the remaining nine months of 2009; |

as compared to U.S. tax rates and regarding the impact of California tax laws; |
|
|
Our belief that our existing liquidity sources, including our bank line of credit
facility, will satisfy our requirements for at least the next twelve months; |
|
|
Our belief that near-term changes in exchange rates will not have a material impact on
our operating results, financial position and liquidity; |
|
|
Our expectation that sales to cable television, satellite,
broadcast and telecommunications
operators will constitute a significant portion of net sales for the foreseeable future; |
|
|
Our expectation that we will make acquisitions in the future; |
|
|
Our expectation that our operations will be affected by new environmental laws and
regulations on an ongoing basis; |
|
|
Our expectation that an increasing percentage of our consolidated, pre-tax income will
be derived from and reinvested in our international operations and our expectations
regarding the associated tax rates; |
|
|
Our expectation that any ultimate liability of Harmonic with respect to certain
litigation arising in the normal course of business will not, in the aggregate, have a
material adverse effect on us or our operating results, financial position or cash flows;
and |
|
|
Our expectation that operating results are likely to fluctuate in the future. |
These statements involve risks and uncertainties as well as assumptions that, if they were to never
materialize or prove incorrect, could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected, expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
include those set forth under Risk Factors below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q and that are otherwise described from time to time in Harmonics filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
Overview
Harmonic designs, manufactures and sells versatile and high performance video products and system
solutions that enable service providers to efficiently deliver the next generation of broadcast and
on-demand services, including high-definition television, or HDTV, video-on-demand, or VOD, network
personal video recording and time-shifted TV. Historically, the majority of our sales have been
derived from sales of video processing solutions and edge and access systems to cable television
operators and from sales of video processing solutions to direct-to-home satellite operators. We
also provide our video processing solutions to telecommunications companies, or telcos,
broadcasters and Internet companies that offer video services to their customers.
On March 12, 2009, Harmonic completed the acquisition of Scopus Video Networks Ltd., or Scopus, a
publicly traded company based in Israel. The purchase price, net of $23.3 million of cash acquired,
was $62.4 million, which was paid from existing cash balances. Scopus engages in the development
and support of digital video networking products that allow network operators to transmit, process, and manage digital video content. Scopus primary
21
products include integrated receivers/decoders
(IRD), intelligent video gateways (IVG), and encoders. In
addition, the Company markets multiplexers, network management systems (NMS), and other ancillary
technology to its customers. The acquisition of Scopus strengthens Harmonics technology and market
leadership, particularly in the broadcast contribution and distribution markets. The acquisition
extends Harmonics diversification strategy, providing it with an expanded international sales
force and global customer base, particularly in video broadcast, contribution and distribution
markets, as well as complementary video processing technology and expanded research and development
capability. Results of operations for the Scopus acquisition are reflected in the accompanying
Harmonic financial data from the effective date of the acquisition, which was March 12, 2009. Sales
of Scopus product are primarily reported within the video processing
product line.
In the first quarter of 2009, Harmonics net sales of $67.8 million decreased 22% compared to the
first quarter of 2008. The decrease in sales in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the
corresponding period in 2008 was primarily due to weaker demand from our domestic satellite and
worldwide cable customers for products and solutions related to VOD and HDTV. Gross margins
decreased in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the corresponding period in 2008 due to lower
sales volumes and, in addition, from provisions for excess and obsolete inventory resulting from
the discontinuance of certain Scopus products and employee severance costs.
Historically,
a majority of our net sales have been to relatively few customers.
Due in part to
the consolidation of ownership of cable television and direct broadcast satellite systems we expect
this customer concentration to continue for the foreseeable future. In the first quarter of 2009,
sales to Comcast accounted for 16% of net sales. In the first quarter of 2008, sales to EchoStar
and Comcast accounted for 21% and 17% of net sales, respectively.
Sales to customers outside of the U.S. in the first quarter of 2009 represented 53% of net sales,
compared to 39% for the comparable period in 2008. A significant portion of international sales are
made to distributors and system integrators, which are generally responsible for importing the
products and providing installation and technical support and service to customers within their
territory. Sales denominated in foreign currencies were approximately 5% in the first three months
of 2009 compared to 3% for the comparable period of 2008. We expect international sales to continue
to account for a significant portion of our net sales for the foreseeable future.
Harmonic often recognizes a significant portion, or the majority, of its revenues in the last month
of the quarter. Harmonic establishes its expenditure levels for product development and other
operating expenses based on projected sales levels, and expenses are relatively fixed in the short
term. Accordingly, variations in timing of sales can cause significant fluctuations in operating
results. Harmonics expenses for any given quarter are typically based on expected sales and if
sales are below expectations, our operating results may be adversely impacted by our inability to
adjust spending to compensate for the shortfall. In addition, because a significant portion of
Harmonics business is derived from orders placed by a limited number of large customers, the
timing of such orders can also cause significant fluctuations in our operating results.
Adverse economic conditions in markets in which we operate and into which we sell our products can
harm our business. Recently, economic conditions in the countries in which we operate and sell
products have become increasingly negative, and global financial markets have experienced a severe
downturn stemming from a multitude of factors, including adverse credit conditions impacted by the
subprime-mortgage crisis, slower economic activity, concerns about inflation and deflation,
increased energy costs, decreased consumer confidence, rapid changes in foreign exchange rates,
reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns
and other factors. Economic growth in the U.S. and in many other countries slowed in the fourth
quarter of 2007, remained slow during 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, and is expected to
continue to be slow for the remainder of 2009 and perhaps longer in the U.S. and internationally.
During challenging economic times, and in tight credit markets, many customers may delay or reduce
capital expenditures. This could result in reductions in sales of our products, longer sales
cycles, difficulties in collection of accounts receivable, excess and obsolete inventory, gross
margin deterioration, slower adoption of new technologies, increased price competition and supplier
difficulties. For example, we believe that the recent global economic slowdown caused certain
customers to reduce or delay capital spending plans in the fourth quarter of 2008 and particularly
in the first quarter of 2009, and we expect that these conditions could persist well throughout
2009. In addition, during challenging economic times, we are likely to experience increased
price-based competition from our competitors, which may result in our losing sales or force us to
reduce the prices of our products, which would reduce our revenues and could adversely affect our
gross margin.

On July 31, 2007, Harmonic completed its acquisition of Rhozet Corporation, pursuant to the terms
of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, or Rhozet Agreement, dated July 25, 2007. Under the Rhozet
Agreement, Harmonic paid or would pay an aggregate of approximately $15.5 million in total merger
consideration, comprised of approximately $2.5 million in cash, 1,105,656 shares of Harmonics
common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Rhozet, and
approximately $2.8 million of cash which was paid in the first quarter of 2008, as provided in the
Rhozet Agreement, to the holders of outstanding options to acquire Rhozet common stock. In
addition, in connection with the acquisition, Harmonic incurred approximately $0.7 million in
transaction costs. Pursuant to the Rhozet Agreement, approximately $2.3 million of the total merger
consideration, consisting of cash and shares of Harmonic common stock, was being held back by
Harmonic for at least 18 months following the closing of the acquisition to satisfy certain
indemnification obligations of Rhozets shareholders pursuant to the terms of the Rhozet Agreement.
Harmonic issued 200,854 shares of common stock and paid approximately $0.5 million to former Rhozet
shareholders in March 2009 and all holdback amounts have now been settled.
During the second quarter of 2008, we recorded a charge in selling, general and administrative
expenses for excess facilities of $1.2 million from a revised estimate of expected sublease income
of a Sunnyvale building. The lease for such building terminates in September 2010 and all sublease
income has been eliminated from the estimated liability. During the third quarter of 2008, we
recorded a charge in selling, general and administrative expenses for excess facilities of $0.2
million from a revised estimate of expected sublease income of two buildings in the United Kingdom.
The leases for these buildings terminate in October 2010 and all sublease income has been
eliminated from the estimated liability.
We are in the process of expanding our international operations and staff to better support our
expansion into international markets. This expansion includes the implementation of an
international structure that includes, among other things, an international support center in
Europe, a research and development cost-sharing arrangement, certain licenses and other contractual
arrangements by and among the Company and its wholly-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Our
foreign subsidiaries have acquired certain rights to sell our existing intellectual property and
intellectual property that will be developed or licensed in the future. As a result of these
changes and an expanding customer base internationally, we expect that an increasing percentage of
our consolidated pre-tax income will be derived from, and reinvested in, our international
operations. We anticipate that this pre-tax income will be subject to foreign tax at relatively
lower tax rates when compared to the United States federal statutory tax rate in future periods.
However, the current administration has begun to put forward proposals that may, if enacted, limit
the ability of U.S. companies to continue to defer U.S. income taxes on foreign earnings.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures requires Harmonic to make
judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
the disclosure of contingencies and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of
revenue and expenses if different judgments or different estimates were made.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the annual consolidated financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K filed with the SEC on March 2, 2009 and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial
statements as of and for the three month period ended April 3, 2009, included herein. Our most
critical accounting policies have not changed since December 31, 2008 and include the following:
|
|
Allowances for doubtful accounts, returns and discounts; |
|
|
Valuation of inventories; |
23
|
|
Impairment of long-lived assets; |
|
|
Restructuring costs and accruals for excess facilities; |
|
|
Assessment of the probability of the outcome of litigation; |
|
|
Accounting for income taxes, and |
|
|
Stock-based compensation. |

Net sales decreased in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008 principally
due to weaker demand from our domestic satellite and worldwide cable customers for VOD and HDTV
deployments. Sales of video processing products were lower in the first quarter of 2009 compared to
the same period in the prior year due to lower spending from domestic satellite customers. The
decrease in sales of products of the edge and access products line in the first quarter of 2009
compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in sales of access products and
our Narrowcast Services Gateway product, which is used for VOD, switched digital and Cable Modem
Termination System, or CMTS deployments, to domestic and international cable operators.

The decreased U.S. sales in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the corresponding period in 2008
was principally due to weaker demand from our domestic satellite and cable customers for products
used in VOD and HDTV deployments.
25
International sales in the first quarter of 2009 increased compared to the corresponding period in
2008 primarily due to revenue generated from products acquired in the Scopus acquisition and
increased revenue from several international satellite projects. We expect that international sales
will continue to account for a significant portion of our net sales for the foreseeable future.

The decrease in gross profit in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the corresponding period
of 2008 was primarily due to lower sales of $19.5 million and
provisions totaling $6.3 million
primarily for excess and obsolete inventories associated with the discontinuance of certain Scopus
products and employee severance costs principally related to the integration of Scopus into
Harmonic. The decreased gross margin percentage of 37.5% in the first quarter of 2009 compared to
48.4% in the first quarter of 2008 was lower mainly due to the aforementioned provisions for excess
and obsolete inventories as a result of the discontinuance of certain Scopus products and
severance costs related to terminated employees. Additionally, the Company paid severance costs to
terminated employees in its California operations during the quarter ended April 3, 2009 which were
also included in cost of sales.
In the first quarter of 2009, $1.5 million of amortization of intangibles was included in cost of
sales compared to $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2008. The higher amortization of intangible
expense in the first quarter of 2009 was due to the amortization of intangibles arising from the
Scopus acquisition which was completed in March 2009. We expect to record approximately $6.6
million in amortization of intangibles expenses in cost of sales in the remaining nine months of
2009 due to the acquisitions of Entone, Rhozet and Scopus.

The increase in research and development expense in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the
corresponding period in 2008 was primarily the result of increased compensation of $1.0 million and
increased stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million. The increased compensation expense is
primarily due to increased headcount from the Scopus acquisition and
severance costs of $0.6 million related to terminated Scopus employees.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expense in the first quarter of 2009 compared
to the corresponding period in 2008 was primarily a result of acquisition-related expenses of $3.4
million associated with the purchase of Scopus during the first quarter of 2009 and increased
stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million. As a result of adoption of SFAS 141(R), the
Company is now required to expense acquisition-related costs in its selling, general and
administrative expenses whereas prior to the adoption of SFAS 141(R), such costs were capitalized
as part of the purchase price allocated to assets and liabilities acquired.

The increase in the amortization of intangibles expense in the first quarter of 2009 compared to
the same period in 2008 was primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets obtained in
connection with the acquisition of Scopus during the first quarter of 2009. Harmonic expects to
record a total of approximately $3.5 million in amortization of intangibles expense in operating
expenses in the remaining nine months of 2009 due to the amortization of intangible assets
resulting from the acquisitions of Entone, Rhozet and Scopus.

The decrease in interest income, net, in the first three months of 2009 compared to the

period in 2008 was primarily due to the differential in foreign tax rates, non deductible SFAS
123(R) stock compensation expense, non-deductible acquisition costs, income tax credits, and
various discrete items. The discrete items recorded in the current period increased the effective
tax rate for the quarter by approximately 60% which is principally related to new California tax
legislation net of a reversal of previously provided foreign income tax whose liability has expired
by statute of limitation.

As of April 3, 2009, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $261.8 million,
compared to $327.2 million as of December 31, 2008. Cash used in operations in the first three
months of 2009 was $4.7 million, resulting from a net loss of $18.8 million, adjusted for $6.8
million in non-cash charges and a $7.3 million net change in assets and liabilities. The
significant non-cash charges included depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation
expense. The net change in assets and liabilities included a decrease in accounts receivable from
cash collections due to strong billings in the fourth quarter of 2008 and lower billings in the
first quarter of 2009, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets due to the reduction in
deferred tax assets resulting from recent changes in California tax law, and a decrease in
inventories, which was partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable primarily from the
payment of inventory purchases, a decrease in accrued and other liabilities primarily from the
payment of incentive compensation and the settlement of the Litton patent infringement claim, and a
decrease in deferred revenue.
To the extent that non-cash items impact our future operating results, there will be no
corresponding impact on our cash flows. After excluding the effects of these non-cash charges, the
primary changes in cash flows relating to operating activities resulted from changes in working
capital. Our primary source of operating cash flows is the collection of accounts receivable from
our customers. Our operating cash flows are also impacted by the timing of payments to our vendors
for accounts payable and other liabilities. We generally pay our vendors and service providers in
accordance with the invoice terms and conditions. In addition, we usually pay our annual incentive
compensation to employees in the first quarter.
Net cash used in investing activities was $66.2 million for the three months ended April 3, 2009,
mainly due to the payment, net of cash acquired, for the acquisition of Scopus Video Networks. In
addition, net cash used included purchases of investments which were in excess of proceeds from
sales and maturities during the period. Harmonic currently expects capital expenditures to be in
the range of $7 million to $8 million during 2009.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.0 million for the three months ended April 3,
2009, as a result of proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and the sale of our
common stock under our 2002 Purchase Plan.
Under the terms of the merger agreement with C-Cube, Harmonic is generally liable for C-Cubes
pre-merger liabilities. As of April 3, 2009, approximately $1.1 million of pre-merger liabilities
remained outstanding and are included in accrued liabilities. These liabilities represent estimates
of C-Cubes pre-merger obligations to various authorities in five countries. The full amount of the
estimated obligations has been classified as a current liability. Harmonic and LSI Logic reached a
settlement agreement after April 3, 2009, which resulted in Harmonic reimbursing LSI Logic $1.0
million of the outstanding liability to settle any future outstanding claims. To the extent that
these obligations are finally settled for more than the amounts reimbursed by Harmonic, LSI Logic
is obligated, under the terms of the settlement agreement, to reimburse Harmonic.
Harmonic has a bank line of credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, which provides for borrowings
of up to $10.0 million that matures on March 3, 2010. As of April 3, 2009, other than standby
letters of credit and guarantees, there were no amounts outstanding under the line of credit
facility and there were no borrowings in 2008 or 2009. This facility, which was amended and
restated in March 2009, contains a financial covenant with the requirement for Harmonic to maintain
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, net of credit extensions, of not less than $40.0
million. If Harmonic is unable to maintain this cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
balance, Harmonic would be in noncompliance with the facility. In the event of noncompliance by
Harmonic with the covenant under the facility, Silicon Valley Bank would be entitled to exercise
its remedies under the facility which
include declaring all obligations immediately due and payable. At April 3, 2009, Harmonic was in
compliance with
29
the covenant under this line of credit facility. Future borrowings pursuant to the
line bear interest at the banks prime rate (4.0% at April 3, 2009). Borrowings are payable monthly
and are not collateralized.
Harmonics cash and investment balances at April 3, 2009 were $261.8 million. We believe that our
existing liquidity sources will satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
However, if our expectations are incorrect, we may need to raise additional funds to fund our
operations, to take advantage of unanticipated strategic opportunities or to strengthen our
financial position.
In addition, we actively review potential acquisitions that would complement our existing product
offerings, enhance our technical capabilities or expand our marketing and sales presence. Any
future transaction of this nature could require potentially significant amounts of capital or could
require us to issue our stock and dilute existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not
available, or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of market
opportunities, to develop new products or to otherwise respond to competitive pressures.
Our ability to raise funds may be adversely affected by a number of factors relating to Harmonic,
as well as factors beyond our control, including the global economic slowdown, market uncertainty
surrounding the ongoing U.S. war on terrorism, as well as conditions in financial markets and the
cable and satellite industries. There can be no assurance that any financing will be available on
terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None as of April 3, 2009.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There were no significant changes to our contractual obligations and commitments in the first
quarter of 2009 compared to the information presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2008, except for the payment of the patent litigation settlement of $5.0
million and payment and issuance of the Rhozet purchase consideration of $2.3 million.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the operating results, financial position,
or liquidity of Harmonic due to adverse changes in market prices and rates. Harmonic is exposed to
market risk because of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates as measured
against the U.S. Dollar and currencies of Harmonics subsidiaries.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Harmonic has a number of international customers each of whose sales are generally denominated in
U.S. dollars. Sales denominated in foreign currencies were approximately 5% and 3% of net sales in
the first three months of 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, the Company has various
international offices that provide sales support, engineering and systems integration services.
Periodically, Harmonic enters into foreign currency exchange contracts and options to manage
exposure related to accounts receivable and expenses denominated in foreign currencies. Harmonic
does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. At April 3, 2009, we had
forward contracts to sell Euros totaling $3.5 million that mature during the second quarter of
2009. In addition, we had forward exchange contracts to sell Israeli Shekels totaling $2.5 million
maturing during the second quarter of 2009 and buy/sell option hedges for Israeli Shekels to US
Dollar exchange risk totaling $1.0 million expiring during the second quarter of 2009. While
Harmonic does not anticipate that near-term changes in exchange rates will have a material impact
on Harmonics operating results, financial position and liquidity, Harmonic cannot assure you that
a sudden and significant change in the value of foreign currencies would not harm Harmonics
operating results, financial position and liquidity.
30
Interest Rate Risk
Exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to Harmonics investment
portfolio of marketable debt securities of various issuers, types and maturities and to Harmonics
borrowings under its bank line of credit facility. Harmonic does not use derivative instruments in
its investment portfolio, and its investment portfolio only includes highly liquid instruments.
These investments are classified as available for sale and are carried at estimated fair value,
with material unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. There is risk
that losses could be incurred if Harmonic were to sell any of its securities prior to stated
maturity. As of April 3, 2009, our cash, cash equivalents and investments balance was $261.8
million. Based on our estimates, a 100 basis points, or 1%, change in interest rates would have
increased or decreased the fair value of our investments by approximately $0.9 million.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under
the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and
procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well
conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of
the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and
procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any
disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in internal controls.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Shareholder Litigation
On May 15, 2003, a derivative action purporting to be on our behalf was filed in the Superior Court
for the County of Santa Clara against certain current and former officers and directors. It alleges
facts similar to those alleged in the securities class action filed in 2000 and settled in 2008. On
December 23, 2008, the Court granted preliminary approval to a settlement of the derivative action.
On February 26, 2009, the settlement was submitted to the Court for final approval. The terms of
the settlement require final approval of the settlement in the securities action, which has
occurred, and payment by the Company of $550,000 to cover plaintiffs attorneys fees. On March 20,
2009, the
31
Court granted final approval, which released Harmonics officers and directors from all claims
brought in the derivative lawsuit and the Company paid $550,000 for the plaintiffs attorneys
fees.
Other Litigation
On July 3, 2003, Stanford University and Litton Systems filed a complaint in U.S. District Court
for the Central District of California alleging that optical fiber amplifiers incorporated into
certain of Harmonics products infringe U.S. Patent No. 4859016. This patent expired in September
2003. The complaint sought injunctive relief, royalties and damages. On August 6, 2007, the
District Court granted our motion to dismiss. The plaintiffs appealed this motion and on June 19,
2008 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision which vacated the District
Courts decision and remanded for further proceedings. At a scheduling conference on September 6,
2008, the judge ordered the parties to mediation. Two mediation sessions were held in November and
December 2008. Following the mediation sessions, Harmonic and Litton entered into a settlement
agreement on January 15, 2009. The settlement agreement provides that in exchange for a one-time
lump sum payment from Harmonic to Litton of $5 million, Litton (i) will not bring suit against
Harmonic, any of its affiliates, customers, vendors, representatives, distributors, and its
contract manufacturers from having any liability for making, using, offering for sale, importing,
and/or selling any Harmonic products that may have incorporated technology that was alleged to have
infringed on one or more of the relevant patents and (ii) would release Harmonic from any liability
for making, using or selling any Harmonic products that may have infringed on such patents. The
Company recorded a provision of $5.0 million in it selling, general and administrative expenses for
the year ended December 31, 2008. Harmonic paid the settlement amount in January 2009.
Harmonic may be subject to claims arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of
management the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these matters in the aggregate will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company or its operating results, financial position or cash
flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We
depend on cable, satellite, broadcast and telecom industry capital spending for a substantial portion of
our revenue and any decrease or delay in capital spending in these industries would negatively
impact our operating results and financial condition or cash flows.
A
significant portion of our sales have been derived from sales to
cable television, satellite and
telecommunications operators, and we expect these sales as well as
broadcast sales to constitute a significant portion of net
sales for the foreseeable future. Demand for our products will depend on the magnitude and timing
of capital spending by cable television operators, satellite operators, telecommunications
companies and broadcasters for constructing and upgrading their systems.
These capital spending patterns are dependent on a variety of factors, including:
|
|
the impact of industry consolidation; |
|
|
the status of federal, local and foreign government regulation of telecommunications and
television broadcasting; |
|
|
overall demand for communication services and consumer acceptance of new video, voice
and data services; |
|
|
evolving industry standards and network architectures; |
|
|
competitive pressures, including pricing pressures; |
|
|
discretionary customer spending patterns; and |
32
|
|
general economic conditions. |
In the past, specific factors contributing to reduced capital spending have included:
|
|
uncertainty related to development of digital video industry standards; |
|
|
delays associated with the evaluation of new services, new standards and system
architectures by many operators; |
|
|
emphasis on generating revenue from existing customers by operators instead of new
construction or network upgrades; |
|
|
a reduction in the amount of capital available to finance projects of our customers and
potential customers; |
|
|
proposed and completed business combinations and divestitures by our customers and
regulatory review thereof; |
|
|
weak or uncertain economic and financial conditions in domestic and international
markets; and |
|
|
bankruptcies and financial restructuring of major customers. |
The financial difficulties of certain of our customers and changes in our customers deployment
plans adversely affected our business in the past. Recently, economic conditions in the countries
in which we operate and sell products have become increasingly negative, and global economies and
financial markets have experienced a severe downturn stemming from a multitude of factors,
including adverse credit conditions impacted by the subprime-mortgage crisis, slower economic
activity, concerns about inflation and deflation, rapid changes in foreign exchange rates,
increased energy costs, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital
spending, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns and other factors. Economic growth in
the U.S. and in many other countries has slowed significantly or receded recently, and is expected
by many to slow further or recede in 2009. The severity or length of time that these adverse
economic and financial market conditions may persist is unknown. During challenging economic times,
and in tight credit markets, many customers may delay or reduce capital expenditures, which in turn
often results in lower demand for our products.
Further, we have a number of customers internationally to whom sales are denominated in U.S.
dollars. In recent months, the value of the U.S. dollar also has appreciated against many foreign
currencies, including the local currencies of many of our international customers. As the U.S.
dollar appreciates relative to the local currencies of our customers, the price of our products
correspondingly increase for such customers. These factors could result in reductions in sales of
our products, longer sales cycles, difficulties in collection of accounts receivable, slower
adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. Financial difficulties among our
customers could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
In addition, industry consolidation has in the past constrained, and may in the future constrain
capital spending among our customers. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will maintain or
increase our net sales in the future. Also, if our product portfolio and product development plans
do not position us well to capture an increased portion of the capital spending of U.S. cable
operators, our revenue may decline and our operating results would be adversely affected.
Our customer base is concentrated and the loss of one or more of our key customers, or a failure to
diversify our customer base, could harm our business.
Historically, a majority of our sales have been to relatively few customers, and due in part to the
consolidation of ownership of cable television and direct broadcast satellite systems, we expect
this customer concentration to continue in the foreseeable future. Sales to our ten largest
customers in the first quarter of 2009 and fiscal years 2008 and 2007 accounted for approximately
54%, 58% and 53% of net sales, respectively. Although we are attempting to broaden our customer
base by penetrating new markets, such as the telecommunications and broadcast markets, and to
expand internationally, we expect to see continuing industry consolidation and customer
concentration due in part to the significant capital costs of constructing broadband networks. For
example, Comcast acquired AT&T Broadband in 2002, thereby creating the largest U.S. cable operator,
reaching approximately 24 million subscribers.
33
The sale of Adelphia Communications cable systems to Comcast and Time Warner Cable has led to
further industry consolidation. NTL and Telewest, the two largest cable operators in the UK,
completed their merger in 2006. In the DBS market, The News Corporation Ltd. acquired an indirect
controlling interest in Hughes Electronics, the parent company of DIRECTV, in 2003, and News
Corporation subsequently sold its interest in DIRECTV to Liberty Media in February 2008. In the
telco market, AT&T completed its acquisition of Bell South in December 2006. The bankruptcy filing
of Charter Communications in the first quarter of 2009 could lead to further industry
consolidation.
In the first three months of 2009, sales to Comcast accounted for 16% of our net sales. In the
fiscal year 2008, sales to Comcast and EchoStar accounted for 20% and 12%, respectively, of our net
sales. In the fiscal year 2007, sales to Comcast and EchoStar accounted for 16% and 12%,
respectively, of our net sales. The loss of Comcast, EchoStar or any other significant customer or
any reduction in orders by Comcast, EchoStar or any significant customer, or our failure to qualify
our products with a significant customer could adversely affect our business, operating results and
liquidity. The loss of, or any reduction in orders from, a significant customer would harm our
business if we were not able to offset any such loss or reduction with increased orders from other
customers.
In addition, historically, we have been dependent upon capital spending in the cable and satellite
industry. We are attempting to diversify our customer base beyond cable and satellite customers,
principally into the telco market. Major telcos have begun to implement plans to rebuild or upgrade
their networks to offer bundled video, voice and data services. While we have recently been
increasing our revenue from telco customers, we are relatively new to this market. In order to be
successful in this market, we may need to continue to build alliances with telco equipment
manufacturers, adapt our products for telco applications, take orders at prices resulting in lower
margins, and build internal expertise to handle the particular contractual and technical demands of
the telco industry. In addition, telco video deployments are subject to delays in completion, as
video processing technologies and video business models are new to most telcos and many of their
largest suppliers. Implementation issues with our products or those of other vendors have caused,
and may continue to cause, delays in project completion for our customers and delay the recognition
of revenue by Harmonic. Further, during challenging economic times, and in tight credit markets,
many customers, including telcos, may delay or reduce capital expenditures. This could result in
reductions in sales of our products, longer sales cycles, difficulties in collection of accounts
receivable, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. As a result of
these and other factors, we cannot assure you that we will be able to increase our revenues from
the telco market, or that we can do so profitably, and any failure to increase revenues and profits
from telco customers could adversely affect our business.
Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly and may fail to meet or exceed the
expectations of securities analysts or investors, causing our stock price to decline.
Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and are likely to continue to fluctuate in the
future, on an annual and a quarterly basis, as a result of several factors, many of which are
outside of our control. Some of the factors that may cause these fluctuations include:
|
|
the level and timing of capital spending of our customers, both in the U.S. and in
foreign markets; |
|
|
access to financing, including credit, for capital spending by our customers; |
|
|
changes in market demand; |
|
|
the timing and amount of orders, especially from significant customers; |
|
|
the timing of revenue recognition from solution contracts, which may span several
quarters; |
|
|
the timing of revenue recognition on sales arrangements, which may include multiple
deliverables; |
|
|
the timing of completion of projects; |
|
|
competitive market conditions, including pricing actions by our competitors; |
34
|
|
seasonality, with fewer construction and upgrade projects typically occurring in winter
months and otherwise being affected by inclement weather; |
|
|
our unpredictable sales cycles; |
|
|
the amount and timing of sales to telcos, which are particularly difficult to predict; |
|
|
new product introductions by our competitors or by us; |
|
|
changes in domestic and international regulatory environments; |
|
|
market acceptance of new or existing products; |
|
|
the cost and availability of components, subassemblies and modules; |
|
|
the mix of our customer base and sales channels; |
|
|
the mix of products sold and the effect it has on gross margins; |
|
|
changes in our operating expenses and extraordinary expenses; |
|
|
impairment of goodwill and intangibles; |
|
|
the outcome of litigation; |
|
|
write-downs of inventory and investments; |
|
|
the impact of SFAS 123(R), an accounting standard which requires us to record the fair
value of stock options as compensation expense; |
|
|
changes in our tax rate, including as a result of changes in our valuation allowance
against certain of our deferred tax assets, and changes in state tax law including apportionment,
as a result of proposed amended tax rules related to the deferral of foreign earnings; |
|
|
the impact of FIN 48, an accounting interpretation which requires us to establish
reserves for uncertain tax positions and accrue potential tax penalties and interest; |
|
|
the impact of SFAS 141(R), a recently revised accounting standard which requires us to
record charges for certain acquisition related costs and expenses instead of capitalizing
these costs, and generally to expense restructuring costs associated with a business
combination subsequent to the acquisition date; |
|
|
our development of custom products and software; |
|
|
the level of international sales; |
|
|
economic and financial conditions specific to the cable,
satellite, broadcast and telco industries;
and |
|
|
general economic conditions. |
The timing of deployment of our equipment can be subject to a number of other risks, including the
availability of skilled engineering and technical personnel, the availability of other equipment
such as compatible set top boxes, and our customers need for local franchise and licensing
approvals.
In addition, we often recognize a substantial portion, or majority, of our revenues in the last
month of the quarter. We establish our expenditure levels for product development and other
operating expenses based on projected sales levels, and expenses are relatively fixed in the short
term. Accordingly, variations in timing of sales can cause
35
significant fluctuations in operating results. As a result of all these factors, our operating
results in one or more future periods may fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities
analysts or investors. In that event, the trading price of our common stock would likely decline.
The markets in which we operate are intensely competitive.
The markets for digital video systems are extremely competitive and have been characterized by
rapid technological change and declining average selling prices. Pressure on average selling prices
was particularly severe during previous economic downturns as equipment suppliers compete
aggressively for customers reduced capital spending, and we may experience similar pressure during
the current economic slowdown. Our competitors for fiber optic access and edge products include
corporations such as Motorola, Cisco Systems and Arris. In our video processing products, we
compete broadly with products from vertically integrated system suppliers including Motorola, Cisco
Systems, Thomson Multimedia and Ericsson, and, in certain product lines, with a number of smaller
companies.
Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have greater financial, technical, marketing
and other resources than us. Many of these large organizations are in a better position to
withstand any significant reduction in capital spending by customers in these markets. They often
have broader product lines and market focus and may not be as susceptible to downturns in a
particular market. These competitors may also be able to bundle their products together to meet the
needs of a particular customer and may be capable of delivering more complete solutions than we are
able to provide. Further, some of our competitors have greater financial resources than we do, and
they have offered and in the future may offer their products at lower prices than we do, which has
in the past and may in the future cause us to lose sales or to reduce our prices in response to
competition. Any reduction in sales or reduced prices for our products would adversely affect our
business and results of operations. In addition, many of our competitors have been in operation
longer than we have and therefore have more long-standing and established relationships with
domestic and foreign customers. We may not be able to compete successfully in the future, which
would harm our business.
If any of our competitors products or technologies were to become the industry standard, our
business could be seriously harmed. For example, new standards for video compression are being
introduced and products based on these standards are being developed by us and some of our
competitors. If our competitors are successful in bringing these products to market earlier, or if
these products are more technologically capable than ours, then our sales could be materially and
adversely affected. In addition, companies that have historically not had a large presence in the
broadband communications equipment market have begun recently to expand their market share through
mergers and acquisitions. The continued consolidation of our competitors could have a significant
negative impact on us. Further, our competitors, particularly competitors of our digital and video
broadcasting systems business, may bundle their products or incorporate functionality into existing
products in a manner that discourages users from purchasing our products or which may require us to
lower our selling prices, resulting in lower revenues and decreased gross margins.
Our future growth depends on market acceptance of several broadband services, on the adoption of
new broadband technologies and on several other broadband industry trends.
Future demand for our products will depend significantly on the growing market acceptance of
emerging broadband services, including digital video, VOD, HDTV, IPTV, mobile video services, very
high-speed data services and voice-over-IP, or VoIP.
The effective delivery of these services will depend, in part, on a variety of new network
architectures and standards, such as:
|
|
new video compression standards such as MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 for both standard definition
and high definition services; |
|
|
fiber to the premises, or FTTP, and digital subscriber line, or DSL, networks designed
to facilitate the delivery of video services by telcos; |
36
|
|
the greater use of protocols such as IP; |
|
|
the further adoption of bandwidth-optimization techniques, such as switched digital
video and DOCSIS 3.0; and |
|
|
the introduction of new consumer devices, such as advanced set-top boxes and personal
video recorders, or PVRs. |
If adoption of these emerging services and/or technologies is not as widespread or as rapid as we
expect, or if we are unable to develop new products based on these technologies on a timely basis,
our net sales growth will be materially and adversely affected.
Furthermore, other technological, industry and regulatory trends will affect the growth of our
business. These trends include the following:
|
|
convergence, or the need of many network operators to deliver a package of video, voice
and data services to consumers, also known as the triple play service; |
|
|
the increasing availability of traditional broadcast video content on the Internet; |
|
|
the entry of telcos into the video business; |
|
|
the use of digital video by businesses, governments and educators; |
|
|
efforts by regulators and governments in the U.S. and abroad to encourage the adoption
of broadband and digital technologies; and |
|
|
the extent and nature of regulatory attitudes towards such issues as competition between
operators, access by third parties to networks of other operators, local franchising
requirements for telcos to offer video, and other new services such as VoIP. |
We need to develop and introduce new and enhanced products in a timely manner to remain
competitive.
Broadband communications markets are characterized by continuing technological advancement, changes
in customer requirements and evolving industry standards. To compete successfully, we must design,
develop, manufacture and sell new or enhanced products that provide increasingly higher levels of
performance and reliability. However, we may not be able to successfully develop or introduce these
products if our products:
|
|
are not cost effective; |
|
|
are not brought to market in a timely manner; |
|
|
are not in accordance with evolving industry standards and architectures; |
|
|
fail to achieve market acceptance; or |
|
|
are ahead of the market. |
We are currently developing and marketing products based on new video compression standards.
Encoding products based on the MPEG-2 compression standards have represented a significant portion
of our sales since our acquisition of DiviCom in 2000. New standards, such as MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 have
been adopted which provide significantly greater compression efficiency, thereby making more
bandwidth available to operators. The availability of more bandwidth is particularly important to
those DBS and telco operators seeking to launch, or expand, HDTV services. We have developed and
launched products, including HD encoders, based on these new standards in order to remain
competitive and are devoting considerable resources to this effort. There can be no assurance that
these efforts will be successful in the near future, or at all, or that competitors will not take
significant market share in HD

encoding. At the same time, we need to devote development resources to the existing MPEG-2 product
line which our cable and satellite customers continue to require. Also, to successfully develop and market
certain of our planned products, we may be required to enter into technology development or
licensing agreements with third parties. We cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into
any necessary technology development or licensing agreements on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
The failure to enter into technology development or licensing agreements when necessary could limit
our ability to develop and market new products and, accordingly, could materially and adversely
affect our business and operating results.
Conditions and changes in the national and global economic environments may adversely affect our
business and financial results.
Adverse economic conditions in markets in which we operate may harm our business. Recently,
economic conditions in the countries in which we operate and sell products have become increasingly
negative, and global financial markets have experienced a severe downturn stemming from a multitude
of factors, including adverse credit conditions impacted by the subprime-mortgage crisis, slower
economic activity, concerns about inflation and deflation, rapid changes in foreign exchange rates,
increased energy costs, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital
spending, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns and other factors. Economic growth in
the U.S. and in many other countries slowed in the fourth quarter of 2007, remained slow or stopped
in 2008, and is expected to slow further or recede in 2009 in the U.S. and internationally. The
current global economic slowdown has led many of our customers to announce or plan lower capital
expenditures for 2009, and we believe that this slowdown caused certain of our customers to reduce
or delay orders for our products in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009. Many of
our international customers, particularly those in emerging markets, have been exposed to tight
credit markets and depreciating currencies, further restricting their ability to invest to build
out or upgrade their networks. Some customers have difficulty in servicing or retiring existing
debt and the financial constraints on certain international customers required us to significantly
increase our reserves for doubtful accounts in the fourth quarter of 2008. For example, Charter
Communications recently filed for bankruptcy protection in the first quarter of 2009 in order to
implement a restructuring aimed at improving its capital structure.
During challenging economic times, and in tight credit markets, many customers may delay or reduce
capital expenditures. This could result in reductions in sales of our products, longer sales
cycles, difficulties in collection of accounts receivable, slower adoption of new technologies and
increased price competition. If global economic and market conditions, or economic conditions in
the United States or other key markets deteriorate, we may experience a material and adverse impact
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Broadband communications markets are characterized by rapid technological change.
Broadband communications markets are relatively immature, making it difficult to accurately predict
the markets future growth rates, sizes or technological directions. In view of the evolving nature
of these markets, it is possible that cable television operators, telcos or other suppliers of
broadband wireless and satellite services will decide to adopt alternative architectures or
technologies that are incompatible with our current or future products. Also, decisions by
customers to adopt new technologies or products are often delayed by extensive evaluation and
qualification processes and can result in delays in sales of current products. If we are unable to
design, develop, manufacture and sell products that incorporate or are compatible with these new
architectures or technologies, our business will suffer.
If sales forecasted for a particular period are not realized in that period due to the
unpredictable sales cycles of our products, our operating results for that period will be harmed.
The sales cycles of many of our products, particularly our newer products and products sold
internationally, are typically unpredictable and usually involve:
|
|
a significant technical evaluation; |
|
|
a commitment of capital and other resources by cable, satellite, and other network
operators; |
|
|
time required to engineer the deployment of new technologies or new broadband services; |
38
|
|
testing and acceptance of new technologies that affect key operations; and |
|
|
test marketing of new services with subscribers. |
For these and other reasons, our sales cycles generally last three to nine months, but can last up
to 12 months. If orders forecasted for a specific customer for a particular quarter do not occur in
that quarter, our operating results for that quarter could be substantially lower than anticipated.
In this regard, our sales cycles with our current and potential satellite and telco customers are
particularly unpredictable. Orders may include multiple elements, the timing of delivery of which
may impact the timing of revenue recognition. Additionally, our sales arrangements may include
testing and acceptance of new technologies and the timing of completion of acceptance testing is
difficult to predict and may impact the timing of revenue recognition. Quarterly and annual results
may fluctuate significantly due to revenue recognition policies and the timing of the receipt of
orders.
In addition, a significant portion of our revenue is derived from solution sales that principally
consist of and include the system design, manufacture, test, installation and integration of
equipment to the specifications of our customers, including equipment acquired from third parties
to be integrated with our products. Revenue forecasts for solution contracts are based on the
estimated timing of the system design, installation and integration of projects. Because solution
contracts generally span several quarters and revenue recognition is based on progress under the
contract, the timing of revenue is difficult to predict and could result in lower than expected
revenue in any particular quarter.
We must be able to manage expenses and inventory risks associated with meeting the demand of our
customers.
If actual orders are materially lower than the indications we receive from our customers, our
ability to manage inventory and expenses may be affected. If we enter into purchase commitments to
acquire materials, or expend resources to manufacture products, and such products are not purchased
by our customers, our business and operating results could suffer. In this regard, our gross
margins and operating results have been in the past adversely affected by significant charges for
excess and obsolete inventories.
In addition, we must carefully manage the introduction of next generation products in order to
balance potential inventory risks associated with excess quantities of older product lines and
forecasts of customer demand for new products. For example, in 2007, we wrote down approximately
$7.6 million of net obsolete and excess inventory, with a significant portion of the write-down
being due to product transitions. We also wrote down $1.1 million in 2006 as a result of the end of
life of a product line. There can be no assurance that we will be able to manage these product
transitions in the future without incurring write-downs for excess inventory or having inadequate
supplies of new products to meet customer expectations.
We have made and expect to continue to make acquisitions, and such acquisitions could disrupt our
operations and adversely affect our operating results.
As part of our business strategy, from time to time, we have acquired, and continue to consider
acquiring, businesses, technologies, assets and product lines that we believe complement or expand
our existing business. For example, on March 12, 2009, we completed the acquisition of Scopus Video
Networks Ltd. pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger announced on December 22, 2008. In
addition, on December 8, 2006, we acquired the video networking software business of Entone
Technologies, Inc. and, on July 31, 2007, we completed the acquisition of Rhozet Corporation. We
expect to make additional acquisitions in the future.
We may face challenges as a result of these activities, because acquisitions entail numerous risks,
including:
|
|
difficulties in the assimilation and integration of acquired operations, technologies
and/or products; |
|
|
unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition transaction; |
|
|
difficulties in implementing new or revised accounting pronouncements, such as SFAS
141(R), Business Combinations, which establishes principles and requirements to record
the acquisition method of accounting; |
39
|
|
the diversion of managements attention from the regular operations of the business and
the challenges of managing larger and more widespread operations; |
|
|
difficulties in integrating acquired companies systems controls, policies and
procedures to comply with the internal control over financial reporting requirements of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; |
|
|
adverse effects on new and existing business relationships with suppliers and customers; |
|
|
potential difficulties in completing projects associated with in-process research and
development; |
|
|
risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience; |
|
|
the potential loss of key employees of acquired businesses; |
|
|
difficulties in the assimilation of different corporate cultures and practices; |
|
|
difficulties in bringing acquired products and businesses into compliance with
applicable legal requirements in jurisdictions in which we operate and sell products; |
|
|
substantial charges for acquisition costs, which are now required to be expensed under
SFAS 141(R); |
|
|
substantial charges for the amortization of certain purchased intangible assets,
deferred stock compensation or similar items; |
|
|
substantial impairments to goodwill or intangible assets in the event that an
acquisition proves to be less valuable than the price we paid for it; and |
|
|
delays in realizing or failure to realize the benefits of an acquisition. |
For example, the government grants that Scopus has received for research and development
expenditures limits its ability to manufacture products and transfer technologies outside of
Israel, and if Scopus fails to satisfy specified conditions, it may be required to refund grants
previously received together with interest and penalties, and may be subject to criminal charges.
Also, we closed all operations and product lines related to Broadcast Technology Limited, which we
acquired in 2005 and we have recorded charges associated with that closure.
Competition within our industry for acquisitions of businesses, technologies, assets and product
lines has been, and may in the future continue to be, intense. As such, even if we are able to
identify an acquisition that we would like to consummate, we may not be able to complete the
acquisition on commercially reasonable terms or because the target is acquired by another company.
Furthermore, in the event that we are able to identify and consummate any future acquisitions, we
could:
|
|
issue equity securities which would dilute current stockholders percentage ownership; |
|
|
incur substantial debt; |
|
|
incur significant acquisition-related expenses; |
|
|
assume contingent liabilities; or |
|
|
expend significant cash. |
40
These financing activities or expenditures could harm our business, operating results and financial
condition or the price of our common stock. Alternatively, due to difficulties in the capital and
credit markets, we may be unable to secure capital on acceptable terms, or all, to complete
acquisitions.
Moreover, even if we do obtain benefits from acquisitions in the form of increased sales and
earnings, there may be a delay between the time when the expenses associated with an acquisition
are incurred and the time when we recognize such benefits.
If we are unable to successfully address any of these risks, our business, financial condition or
operating results could be harmed.
We depend on our international sales and are subject to the risks associated with international
operations, which may negatively affect our operating results.
Sales to customers outside of the U.S. in the first three months of 2009 and the fiscal years 2008
and 2007 represented 53%, 44% and 44% of net sales, respectively, and we expect that international
sales will continue to represent a meaningful portion of our net sales for the foreseeable future.
Furthermore, a substantial portion of our contract manufacturing occurs overseas. Our international
operations, the international operations of our contract manufacturers and our efforts to increase
sales in international markets are subject to a number of risks, including:
|
|
a slowdown in international economies, which may adversely affect our customers capital
spending; |
|
|
changes in foreign government regulations and telecommunications standards; |
|
|
import and export license requirements, tariffs, taxes and other trade barriers; |
|
|
fluctuations in currency exchange rates; |
|
|
difficulty in collecting accounts receivable; |
|
|
the burden and costs associated with complying with a wide
variety of foreign laws, regulations, treaties and technical
standards; |
|
|
difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations; |
|
|
political and economic instability, including risks related to terrorist activity; and |
|
|
changes in economic policies by foreign governments. |
In the past, certain of our international customers accumulated significant levels of debt and have
undertaken reorganizations and financial restructurings, including bankruptcy proceedings. Even
where these restructurings have been completed, in some cases these customers have not been in a
position to purchase new equipment at levels we have seen in the past.
While our international sales and operating expenses have typically been denominated in U.S.
dollars, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could cause our products to become relatively more
expensive to customers in a particular country, leading to a reduction in sales or profitability in
that country. A portion of our European business is denominated in Euros, which may subject us to
increased foreign currency risk. Gains and losses on the conversion to U.S. dollars of accounts
receivable, accounts payable and other monetary assets and liabilities arising from international
operations may contribute to fluctuations in operating results.
Furthermore, payment cycles for international customers are typically longer than those for
customers in the U.S. Unpredictable sales cycles could cause us to fail to meet or exceed the
expectations of security analysts and investors for any given period. In addition, foreign markets
may not further develop in the future.
Another significant legal risk resulting from our international operations is compliance with the
U.S. Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA. In many foreign countries, particularly in those with developing
economies, it may
41
be a local custom that businesses operating in such countries engage in business
practices that are prohibited by the FCPA or other U.S. laws and regulations. Although we have
implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with the FCPA and similar laws,
there can be no assurance that all of our employees, and agents, as well as those companies to
which we outsource certain of our business operations, will not take actions in violation of our
policies. Any such violation, even if prohibited by our policies, could have a material adverse
effect on our business.
Any or all of these factors could adversely impact our business and results of operations.
Fluctuations in our future effective tax rates could affect our future operating results, financial
condition and cash flows.
In accordance with SFAS 109, we have evaluated the need for a valuation allowance based on
historical evidence, trends in profitability, expectations of future taxable income and implemented
tax planning strategies. As such in 2008, we determined that a valuation allowance was no longer
necessary for certain of our U.S. deferred tax assets because, based on the available evidence, we
concluded that a realization of these net deferred tax assets was more likely than not. We continue
to maintain a valuation allowance for certain foreign deferred tax assets and recorded a valuation
allowance to our California deferred tax assets in the first quarter of 2009 as a result of our
expectation on future usage of the California deferred tax assets. Pursuant to SFAS 109, we are
required to periodically review our deferred tax assets and determine whether, based on available
evidence, a valuation allowance is necessary. In the event that, in the future, we determine
additional valuation allowance is necessary with respect to our U.S. and certain foreign deferred
tax assets, we would incur a charge equal to the amount of the valuation allowance in the period in
which we made such determination as a discrete item, and this could have a material and adverse
impact on our results of operations for such period.
The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of
complex global tax regulations. We recognize potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues
in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which,
additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the
reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we
determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be
less than the ultimate tax assessment, a further charge to expense would result. The Company
adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(FIN 48) on January 1, 2007, the first day of fiscal 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive
model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the consolidated financial
statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.
We are in the process of expanding our international operations and staff to better support our
expansion into international markets. This expansion includes the implementation of an
international structure that includes, among other things, an international support center in
Europe, a research and development cost-sharing arrangement, certain licenses and other contractual
arrangements between us and our wholly-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. As a result of
these changes, we anticipate that our consolidated pre-tax income will be subject to foreign tax at
relatively lower tax rates when compared to the United States federal statutory tax rate and, as a
consequence, our effective income tax rate is expected to be lower than the United States federal
statutory rate. However, the current administration has begun to put forward proposals that may, if
enacted, limit the ability of U.S. companies to continue to defer U.S. income taxes on foreign
income. Our future effective income tax rates could be adversely affected if tax authorities
challenge our international tax structure or if the relative mix of United States and international
income changes for any reason. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our income tax rate will
be less than the United States federal statutory rate in future periods.
We face risks associated with having important facilities and resources located in Israel.
The acquisition of Scopus in March 2009, which was headquartered and had a substantial majority of
its operations in Israel, resulted in the addition of approximately 201 employees based in Israel.
In addition, we maintain a facility in Caesarea in the State of Israel with a total of 83
employees. The employees at the Caesarea facility consist principally of research and development
personnel. We have pilot production capabilities at this facility consisting of procurement of
subassemblies and modules from Israeli subcontractors and final assembly and test operations. As of
April 3, 2009, we have a total of approximately 284 employees based in Israel, or approximately 31%
of our workforce.
42
Accordingly, we are directly influenced by the political, economic and military conditions
affecting Israel, and this influence is expected to increase with the acquisition of Scopus. Any
significant conflict involving Israel could have a direct effect on our business or that of our
Israeli subcontractors, in the form of physical damage or injury, reluctance to travel within or to
Israel by our Israeli and foreign employees or those of our subcontractors, or the loss of
employees to active military duty. Most of our employees in Israel are currently obligated to
perform annual reserve duty in the Israel Defense Forces and several have been called for active
military duty recently. In the event that more employees are called to active duty, certain of our
research and development activities may be adversely affected and significantly delayed. In
addition, the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners could
significantly harm our business. Terrorist attacks and hostilities within Israel, the hostilities
between Israel and Hezbollah, and Israel and Hamas, and the conflict between Hamas and Fatah have
also heightened these risks. Current or future tensions in the Middle East may adversely affect our
business and results of operations.
Changes in telecommunications legislation and regulations could harm our prospects and future
sales.
Changes in telecommunications legislation and regulations in the U.S. and other countries could
affect the sales of our products. In particular, regulations dealing with access by competitors to
the networks of incumbent operators could slow or stop additional construction or expansion by
these operators. Local franchising and licensing requirements may slow the entry of telcos into the
video business. Increased regulation of our customers pricing or service offerings could limit
their investments and consequently the sales of our products. Changes in regulations could have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Negative conditions in the global credit markets may impair the liquidity of a portion of our
investment portfolio.
As of December 31, 2008, we held approximately $10.7 million of auction rate securities, or ARSs,
which were invested in preferred securities in closed-end mutual funds. The recent negative
conditions in the credit markets restricted our ability to liquidate holdings of ARSs because the
amount of securities submitted for sale has exceeded the amount of purchase orders for such
securities. During 2008, we were able to sell $24.1 million of ARSs through successful auctions and
redemptions. The remaining balance of $10.7 million in ARSs as of December 31, 2008 all had failed
auctions in 2008. During August 2008, we received notification from our investment manager who
holds the ARSs that it had reached a settlement with certain regulatory authorities, pursuant to
which we would be able to sell its outstanding ARSs to the investment manager at par, plus accrued
interest and dividends at any time during the period from January 2, 2009 through January 15, 2010.
The entire balance of $10.7 million in ARSs that we held at December 31, 2008 were sold at par plus
interest in February 2009.
In the event we need or desire to access funds from the other short-term investments that we hold,
it is possible that we may not be able to do so due to market conditions. If a buyer is found but
is unwilling to purchase the investments at par or our cost, we may incur a loss. Further, rating
downgrades of the security issuer or the third parties insuring such investments may require us to
adjust the carrying value of these investments through an impairment charge. Our inability to sell
all or some of our short-term investments at par or our cost, or rating downgrades of issuers of
these securities, could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.
In addition, we invest our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of
investment vehicles in a number of countries with and in the custody of financial institutions with
high credit ratings. While our investment policy and strategy attempt to manage interest rate risk,
limit credit risk, and only invest in what we view as very high-quality securities, the outlook for
our investment holdings is dependent on general economic conditions, interest rate trends and
volatility in the financial marketplace, which can all affect the income that we receive, the value
of our investments, and our ability to sell them.
During 2008, we recorded an impairment charge of $0.8 million relating to an investment in an
unsecured debt instrument of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. We believe that our investment
securities are carried at fair value. However, over time the economic and market environment may
provide additional insight regarding the fair value of certain securities which could change our
judgment regarding impairment. This could result in unrealized or realized losses relating to other
than temporary declines being charged against future income. Given the current market conditions
involved, there is continuing risk that further declines in fair value may occur and additional
impairments may be charged to income in future periods, resulting in realized losses.
43
In order to manage our growth, we must be successful in addressing management succession issues and
attracting and retaining qualified personnel.
Our future success will depend, to a significant extent, on the ability of our management to
operate effectively, both individually and as a group. We must successfully manage transition and
replacement issues that may result from the departure or retirement of members of our senior
management. We cannot assure you that changes of management personnel would not cause disruption to
our operations or customer relationships, or a decline in our financial results.
In addition, we are dependent on our ability to retain and motivate high caliber personnel, in
addition to attracting new personnel. Competition for qualified management, technical and other
personnel can be intense and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.
Competitors and others have in the past and may in the future attempt to recruit our employees.
While our employees are required to sign standard agreements concerning confidentiality and
ownership of inventions, we generally do not have employment contracts or non-competition
agreements with any of our personnel. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel, the
inability to attract or retain qualified personnel in the future or delays in hiring required
personnel, particularly senior management and engineers and other technical personnel, could
negatively affect our business.
Accounting standards and stock exchange regulations related to equity compensation could adversely
affect our earnings, our ability to raise capital and our ability to attract and retain key
personnel.
Since our inception, we have used equity compensation, including stock options and restricted stock
units, as a fundamental component of our employee compensation packages. We believe that our equity
incentive plans are an essential tool to link the long-term interests of stockholders and
employees, especially executive management, and serve to motivate management to make decisions that
will, in the long run, give the best returns to stockholders. The Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued SFAS 123(R) that requires us to record a charge to earnings for employee stock
options and restricted stock unit grants and employee stock purchase plan rights for all periods
from January 1, 2006. This standard has negatively impacted and will continue to negatively impact
our earnings and may affect our ability to raise capital on acceptable terms. For the three months
ended April 3, 2009, stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) was $2.4
million, which consisted of stock-based compensation expense related to board of directors
restricted stock units, employee equity awards and employee stock purchases.
In addition, regulations implemented by the NASDAQ Stock Market requiring stockholder approval for
all equity incentive plans could make it more difficult for us to grant options or restricted stock
units to employees in the future. To the extent that new accounting standards make it more
difficult or expensive to grant options or restricted stock units to employees, we may incur
increased compensation costs, change our equity compensation strategy or find it difficult to
attract, retain and motivate employees, each of which could materially and adversely affect our
business.
We are exposed to additional costs and risks associated with complying with increasing regulation
of corporate governance and disclosure standards.
We are spending an increased amount of management time and external resources to comply with
changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure,
including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, SEC regulations and the NASDAQ Stock Market rules. In
particular, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires managements annual review and
evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting and attestation of the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting by our independent registered public accounting firm
in connection with the filing of the annual report on Form 10-K for each fiscal year. We have
documented and tested our internal control systems and procedures and have made improvements in
order for us to comply with the requirements of Section 404. This process required us to hire
additional personnel and outside advisory services and has resulted in significant additional
expenses. While our managements assessment of our internal control over financial reporting
resulted in our conclusion that as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial
reporting was effective, and our independent registered public accounting firm has attested that
our internal control over financial reporting was effective in all material respects as of December
31, 2008, we cannot
predict the outcome of our testing and that of our independent registered public accounting firm in
future periods. If
44
we conclude in future periods that our internal control over financial reporting
is not effective or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an
unqualified attestation as of future year-ends, investors may lose confidence in our financial
statements, and the price of our stock may suffer.
We may need additional capital in the future and may not be able to secure adequate funds on terms
acceptable to us.
We have generated substantial operating losses since we began operations in June 1988. We have been
engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of a variety of video products and system solutions
since inception, which has required, and will continue to require, significant research and
development expenditures. As of December 31, 2008 we had an accumulated deficit of $1.8 billion.
These losses, among other things, have had and may have an adverse effect on our stockholders
equity and working capital.
We believe that our existing liquidity sources, including the net proceeds of the public offering
of common stock that we completed in November 2007, will satisfy our cash requirements for at least
the next twelve months. However, we may need to raise additional funds if our expectations are
incorrect, to take advantage of unanticipated strategic opportunities, to satisfy our other
liabilities, or to strengthen our financial position. Our ability to raise funds may be adversely
affected by a number of factors relating to Harmonic, as well as factors beyond our control,
including weakness in the economic conditions in markets in which we operating and into which we
sell our products, increased uncertainty in the financial, capital and credit markets, as well as
conditions in the cable and satellite industries. In particular, companies are experiencing
difficulty raising capital from issuances of debt or equity securities in the current capital
market environment, and may also have difficulty securing credit financing. There can be no
assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
In addition, we actively review potential acquisitions that would complement our existing product
offerings, enhance our technical capabilities or expand our marketing and sales presence. Any
future transaction of this nature could require potentially significant amounts of capital to
finance the acquisition and related expenses as well as to integrate operations following a
transaction, and could require us to issue our stock and dilute existing stockholders. If adequate
funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take
advantage of market opportunities, to develop new products or to otherwise respond to competitive
pressures.
We may raise additional financing through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or
additional corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. To the extent we raise additional
capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience dilution. To the extent that
we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to
relinquish some rights to our technologies or products, or grant licenses on terms that are not
favorable to us. For example, debt financing arrangements may require us to pledge assets or enter
into covenants that could restrict our operations or our ability to incur further indebtedness. If
adequate funds are not available, we will not be able to continue developing our products.
If demand for our products increases more quickly than we expect, we may be unable to meet our
customers requirements.
If demand for our products increases, the difficulty of accurately forecasting our customers
requirements and meeting these requirements will increase. For example, we had insufficient
quantities of certain products to meet customer demand late in the second quarter of 2006 and, as a
result, our revenues were lower than internal and external expectations. Forecasting to meet
customers needs and effectively managing our supply chain is particularly difficult in connection
with newer products. Our ability to meet customer demand depends significantly on the availability
of components and other materials as well as the ability of our contract manufacturers to scale
their production. Furthermore, we purchase several key components, subassemblies and modules used
in the manufacture or integration of our products from sole or limited sources. Our ability to meet
customer requirements depends in part on our ability to obtain sufficient volumes of these
materials in a timely fashion. Also, in previous years, in response to lower sales and the
prolonged economic recession, we significantly reduced our headcount and other expenses. As a
result, we may be unable to respond to customer demand that increases more quickly than we expect.
If we fail to meet customers supply expectations, our net sales would be adversely affected and we
may lose business.
45
We purchase several key components, subassemblies and modules used in the manufacture or
integration of our products from sole or limited sources, and we are increasingly dependent on
contract manufacturers.
Many components, subassemblies and modules necessary for the manufacture or integration of our
products are obtained from a sole supplier or a limited group of suppliers. For example, we depend
on a small private company for certain video encoding chips which are incorporated into several new
products. Our reliance on sole or limited suppliers, particularly foreign suppliers, and our
increased reliance on subcontractors involves several risks, including a potential inability to
obtain an adequate supply of required components, subassemblies or modules and, reduced control
over pricing, quality and timely delivery of components, subassemblies or modules. In particular,
certain optical components have in the past been in short supply and are available only from a
small number of suppliers, including sole source suppliers. These risks are heightened during the
current economic slowdown, because our suppliers and subcontractors are more likely to experience
adverse changes in their financial condition and operations during such a period. While we expend
resources to qualify additional component sources, consolidation of suppliers in the industry and
the small number of viable alternatives have limited the results of these efforts. We do not
generally maintain long-term agreements with any of our suppliers. Managing our supplier and
contractor relationships is particularly difficult during time periods in which we introduce new
products and during time periods in which demand for our products is increasing, especially if
demand increases more quickly than we expect. Furthermore, from time to time we assess our
relationship with our contract manufacturers. In 2003, we entered into a three- year agreement with
Plexus Services Corp. as our primary contract manufacturer, and Plexus currently provides us with a
majority of the products that we purchase from our contract manufacturers. This agreement has
automatic annual renewals unless prior notice is given and has been renewed until October 2009.
Difficulties in managing relationships with current contract manufacturers, particularly Plexus,
could impede our ability to meet our customers requirements and adversely affect our operating
results. An inability to obtain adequate deliveries or any other circumstance that would require us
to seek alternative sources of supply could negatively affect our ability to ship our products on a
timely basis, which could damage relationships with current and prospective customers and harm our
business. We attempt to limit this risk by maintaining safety stocks of certain components,
subassemblies and modules. As a result of this investment in inventories, we have in the past and
in the future may be subject to risk of excess and obsolete inventories, which could harm our
business, operating results, financial position or cash flows. In this regard, our gross margins
and operating results in the past were adversely affected by significant excess and obsolete
inventory charges.
Cessation of the development and production of video encoding chips by C-Cubes spun-off
semiconductor business may adversely impact us.
Our DiviCom business, which we acquired in 2000, and the C-Cube semiconductor business (acquired by
LSI Logic in June 2001) collaborated on the production and development of two video encoding
microelectronic chips prior to our acquisition of the DiviCom business. In connection with the
acquisition, we have entered into a contractual relationship with the spun-off semiconductor
business of C-Cube, under which we have access to certain of the spun-off semiconductor business
technologies and products on which the DiviCom business depends for certain product and service
offerings. The current term of this agreement is through October 2009, with automatic annual
renewals unless terminated by either party in accordance with the agreement provisions. On July 27,
2007, LSI announced that it had completed the sale of its consumer products business (which
includes the design and manufacture of encoding chips) to Magnum Semiconductor, and the agreement
providing us with access to certain of the spun-off semiconductor business technologies and
products was assigned to Magnum Semiconductor. If the spun-off semiconductor business is not able
to or does not sustain its development and production efforts in this area, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flow could be harmed.
We need to effectively manage our operations and the cyclical nature of our business.
The cyclical nature of our business has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a significant
strain on our personnel, management and other resources. We reduced our work force by approximately
44% between December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2003 due to reduced industry spending and demand for
our products. Our purchase of the video networking software business of Entone in December 2006
resulted in the addition of 43 employees, most of whom are based in Hong Kong, and we added
approximately 18 employees on July 31, 2007, in connection with
the completion of our acquisition of Rhozet. In addition, upon the closing of the acquisition of
Scopus, we added a
46
significant number of employees. Our ability to manage our business effectively
in the future, including any future growth, will require us to train, motivate and manage our
employees successfully, to attract and integrate new employees into our overall operations, to
retain key employees and to continue to improve our operational, financial and management systems.
We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations that could impose substantial costs
upon us and may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Some of our operations use substances regulated under various federal, state, local and
international laws governing the environment, including those governing the management, disposal
and labeling of hazardous substances and wastes and the cleanup of contaminated sites. We could
incur costs and fines, third-party property damage or personal injury claims, or could be required
to incur substantial investigation or remediation costs, if we were to violate or become liable
under environmental laws. The ultimate costs under environmental laws and the timing of these costs
are difficult to predict.
We also face increasing complexity in our product design as we adjust to new and future
requirements relating to the presence of certain substances in electronic products and making
producers of those products financially responsible for the collection, treatment, recycling, and
disposal of certain products. For example, the European Parliament and the Council of the European
Union have enacted the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive, which regulates
the collection, recovery, and recycling of waste from electrical and electronic products, and the
Restriction on the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(RoHS) directive, which bans the use of certain hazardous materials including lead, mercury,
cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDEs) that exceed certain specified levels. Legislation similar to RoHS and WEEE has been
or may be enacted in other jurisdictions, including in the United States, Japan, and China. Our
failure to comply with these laws could result in our being directly or indirectly liable for
costs, fines or penalties and third-party claims, and could jeopardize our ability to conduct
business in such countries. We also expect that our operations will be affected by other new
environmental laws and regulations on an ongoing basis. Although we cannot predict the ultimate
impact of any such new laws and regulations, they will likely result in additional costs or
decreased revenue, and could require that we redesign or change how we manufacture our products,
any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are liable for C-Cubes pre-merger liabilities, including liabilities resulting from the
spin-off of its semiconductor business.
Under the terms of the merger agreement with C-Cube, Harmonic is generally liable for C-Cubes
pre-merger liabilities. As of April 3, 2009, approximately $1.1 million of pre-merger liabilities
remained outstanding and are included in accrued liabilities. These liabilities represent estimates
of C-Cubes pre-merger obligations to various authorities in five countries. The full amount of the
estimated obligations has been classified as a current liability. Harmonic and LSI Logic reached a
settlement agreement after April 3, 2009, which resulted in Harmonic reimbursing LSI Logic $1.0
million of the outstanding liability to settle any future outstanding claims. To the extent that
these obligations are finally settled for more than the amounts reimbursed by Harmonic, LSI Logic
is obligated, under the terms of the settlement agreement, to reimburse Harmonic.
The merger agreement stipulates that we will be indemnified by the spun-off semiconductor business
if the cash reserves are not sufficient to satisfy all of C-Cubes liabilities for periods prior to
the merger. If for any reason, the spun-off semiconductor business does not have sufficient cash to
pay such taxes, or if there are additional taxes due with respect to the non-semiconductor business
and we cannot be indemnified by LSI Logic, we generally will remain liable, and such liability
could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
We rely on value-added resellers and systems integrators for a substantial portion of our sales,
and disruptions to, or our failure to develop and manage our relationships with these customers and
the processes and procedures that support them could adversely affect our business.
We generate a substantial portion of our sales through net sales to value-added resellers, or VARs,
and systems
integrators. We expect that these sales will continue to generate a substantial percentage of our
net sales in the
47
future. Our future success is highly dependent upon establishing and maintaining
successful relationships with a variety of VARs and systems integrators that specialize in video
delivery solutions, products and services.
We have no long-term contracts or minimum purchase commitments with any of our VAR or system
integrator customers, and our contracts with these parties do not prohibit them from purchasing or
offering products or services that compete with ours. Our competitors may be effective in providing
incentives to our VAR and systems integrator customers to favor their products or to prevent or
reduce sales of our products. Our VAR or systems integrator customers may choose not to purchase or
offer our products. Our failure to establish and maintain successful relationships with VAR and
systems integrator customers would likely materially and adversely affect our business, operating
results and financial condition.
Our failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights may adversely affect us.
We currently hold 44 issued U.S. patents and 18 issued foreign patents, and have a number of patent
applications pending. Although we attempt to protect our intellectual property rights through
patents, trademarks, copyrights, licensing arrangements, maintaining certain technology as trade
secrets and other measures, we cannot assure you that any patent, trademark, copyright or other
intellectual property rights owned by us will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged, that
such intellectual property rights will provide competitive advantages to us or that any of our
pending or future patent applications will be issued with the scope of the claims sought by us, if
at all. We cannot assure you that others will not develop technologies that are similar or superior
to our technology, duplicate our technology or design around the patents that we own. In addition,
effective patent, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain
foreign countries in which we do business or may do business in the future.
We believe that patents and patent applications are not currently significant to our business, and
investors therefore should not rely on our patent portfolio to give us a competitive advantage over
others in our industry. We believe that the future success of our business will depend on our
ability to translate the technological expertise and innovation of our personnel into new and
enhanced products. We generally enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our
employees, consultants, vendors and customers as needed, and generally limit access to and
distribution of our proprietary information. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that the steps
taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our technology. In addition, we have taken in the
past, and may take in the future, legal action to enforce our patents and other intellectual
property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the
proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such
litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could negatively affect
our business, operating results, financial position or cash flows.
In order to successfully develop and market certain of our planned products, we may be required to
enter into technology development or licensing agreements with third parties. Although many
companies are often willing to enter into technology development or licensing agreements, we cannot
assure you that such agreements will be negotiated on terms acceptable to us, or at all. The
failure to enter into technology development or licensing agreements, when necessary or desirable,
could limit our ability to develop and market new products and could cause our business to suffer.
Our products include third-party technology and intellectual property, and our inability to use
that technology in the future could harm our business.
We incorporate certain third-party technologies, including software programs, into our products,
and intend to utilize additional third-party technologies in the future. Licenses to relevant
third-party technologies or updates to those technologies may not continue to be available to us on
commercially reasonable terms, or at all. In addition, the technologies that we license may not
operate properly and we may not be able to secure alternatives in a timely manner, which could harm
our business. We could face delays in product releases until alternative technology can be
identified, licensed or developed, and integrated into our products, if we are able to do so at
all. These delays, or a failure to secure or develop adequate technology, could materially and
adversely affect our business.
48
We or our customers may face intellectual property infringement claims from third parties.
Our industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent claims and
related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. In particular, leading
companies in the telecommunications industry have extensive patent portfolios. From time to time,
third parties have asserted and may assert patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual
property rights against us or our customers. Our suppliers and customers may have similar claims
asserted against them. A number of third parties, including companies with greater financial and
other resources than us, have asserted patent rights to technologies that are important to us. Any
future litigation, regardless of its outcome, could result in substantial expense and significant
diversion of the efforts of our management and technical personnel. An adverse determination in any
such proceeding could subject us to significant liabilities, temporary or permanent injunctions or
require us to seek licenses from third parties or pay royalties that may be substantial.
Furthermore, necessary licenses may not be available on satisfactory terms, or at all. An
unfavorable outcome on any such litigation matters could require that Harmonic pay substantial
damages, or, in connection with any intellectual property infringement claims, could require that
we pay ongoing royalty payments or could prevent us from selling certain of our products and any
such outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial
position or cash flows.
On July 3, 2003, Stanford University and Litton Systems (now Northrop Grumman Guidance and
Electronics Company, Inc.) filed a complaint in U.S. District Court for the Central District of
California alleging that optical fiber amplifiers incorporated into certain of our products
infringe U.S. Patent No. 4859016. This patent expired in September 2003. The complaint sought
injunctive relief, royalties and damages. On August 6, 2007, the District Court granted our motion
to dismiss. The plaintiffs appealed this motion and on June 19, 2008 the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit issued a decision which vacated the District Courts decision and remanded for
further proceedings. At a scheduling conference on October 6, 2008, the judge ordered the parties
to mediation. Two mediation sessions were held in November and December 2008. Following the
mediation sessions, Harmonic and Litton entered into a settlement agreement on January 15, 2009.
The settlement agreement provides that in exchange for a one-time lump sum payment from Harmonic to
Litton of $5 million, Litton (i) will not bring suit against Harmonic, any of its affiliates,
customers, vendors, representatives, distributors, and its contract manufacturers from having any
liability for making, using, offering for sale, importing, and/or selling any Harmonic products
that may have incorporated technology that was alleged to have infringed on one or more of the
relevant patents and (ii) would release Harmonic from any liability for making, using, selling any
Harmonic products that may have infringed on such patents. Harmonic paid the settlement amount in
January 2009.
Our suppliers and customers may have similar claims asserted against them. We have agreed to
indemnify some of our suppliers and customers for alleged patent infringement. The scope of this
indemnity varies, but, in some instances, includes indemnification for damages and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys fees).
We may be the subject of litigation which, if adversely determined, could harm our business and
operating results.
In addition to the litigation discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we may be
subject to claims arising in the normal course of business. An unfavorable outcome on any
litigation matter could require that we pay substantial damages, or, in connection with any
intellectual property infringement claims, could require that we pay ongoing royalty payments or
could prevent us from selling certain of our products. In addition, we may decide to settle any
litigation, which could cause us to incur significant costs. A settlement or an unfavorable outcome
on any litigation matter could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results,
financial position or cash flows.
We are subject to import and export controls that could subject us to liability or impair our
ability to compete in international markets.
Our products are subject to U.S. export controls and may be exported outside the United States only
with the required level of export license or through an export license exception, in most cases
because we incorporate encryption technology into our products. In addition, various countries
regulate the import of certain technology and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to
distribute our products or could limit our customers ability to
implement our products in those countries. Changes in our products or changes in export and import
regulations may
49
create delays in the introduction of our products in international markets, prevent
our customers with international operations from deploying our products throughout their global
systems or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our products to certain countries
altogether. Any change in export or import regulations or related legislation, shift in approach to
the enforcement or scope of existing regulations, or change in the countries, persons or
technologies targeted by such regulations, could result in decreased use of our products by, or in
our decreased ability to export or sell our products to, existing or potential customers
internationally.
In addition, we may be subject to customs duties and export quotas, which could have a significant
impact on our revenue and profitability. While we have not encountered significant difficulties in
connection with the sales of our products in international markets, the future imposition of
significant increases in the level of customs duties or export quotas could have a material adverse
effect on our business.
The ongoing threat of terrorism has created great uncertainty and may continue to harm our
business.
Current conditions in the U.S. and global economies are uncertain. The terrorist attacks in the
U.S. in 2001 and subsequent terrorist attacks in other parts of the world have created many
economic and political uncertainties that have severely impacted the global economy, and have
adversely affected our business. For example, following the 2001 terrorist attacks in the U.S., we
experienced a further decline in demand for our products. The long-term effects of the attacks, the
situation in the Middle East and the ongoing war on terrorism on our business and on the global
economy remain unknown. Moreover, the potential for future terrorist attacks has created additional
uncertainty and makes it difficult to estimate the stability and strength of the U.S. and other
economies and the impact of economic conditions on our business.
The markets in which we, our customers and our suppliers operate are subject to the risk of
earthquakes and other natural disasters.
Our headquarters and the majority of our operations are located in California, which is prone to
earthquakes, and some of the other locations in which we, our customers and suppliers conduct
business are prone to natural disasters. In the event that any of our business centers are affected
by any such disasters, we may sustain damage to our operations and properties and suffer
significant financial losses. Furthermore, we rely on third-party manufacturers for the production
of many of our products, and any disruption in the business or operations of such manufacturers
could adversely impact our business. In addition, if there is a major earthquake or other natural
disaster in any of the locations in which our significant customers are located, we face the risk
that our customers may incur losses, or sustained business interruption and/or loss which may
materially impair their ability to continue their purchase of products from us. A major earthquake
or other natural disaster in the markets in which we, our customers or suppliers operate could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
Some anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and stockholder
rights plan, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.
We have provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each of which could have the
effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an acquisition deemed undesirable by our Board
of Directors. These include provisions:
|
|
authorizing blank check preferred stock, which could be issued with voting, liquidation,
dividend and other rights superior to our common stock; |
|
|
limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers; |
|
|
limiting the ability of our stockholders to call and bring business before special
meetings; |
|
|
requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at
meetings of our stockholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our Board of
Directors; |
|
|
controlling the procedures for conduct and scheduling of Board and stockholder meetings;
and |
50
|
|
providing the Board of Directors with the express power to postpone previously scheduled
annual meetings and to cancel previously scheduled special meetings. |
These provisions, alone or together, could delay hostile takeovers and changes in control or
management of us.
In addition, we have adopted a stockholder rights plan. The rights are not intended to prevent a
takeover of us, and we believe these rights will help our negotiations with any potential
acquirers. However, if the Board of Directors believes that a particular acquisition is
undesirable, the rights may have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging that
acquisition. The rights would cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to
acquire us on terms or in a manner not approved by our Board of Directors, except pursuant to an
offer conditioned upon redemption of the rights.
As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203
of the Delaware General Corporation law, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of
our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the
holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock.
Any provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, our stockholder rights plan or
Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the
opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and
could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.
Our common stock price may be extremely volatile, and the value of your investment may decline.
Our common stock price has been highly volatile. We expect that this volatility will continue in
the future due to factors such as:
|
|
general market and economic conditions; |
|
|
actual or anticipated variations in operating results; |
|
|
announcements of technological innovations, new products or new services by us or by our
competitors or customers; |
|
|
changes in financial estimates or recommendations by stock market analysts regarding us
or our competitors; |
|
|
announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic
partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
|
|
announcements by our customers regarding end market conditions and the status of
existing and future infrastructure network deployments; |
|
|
additions or departures of key personnel; and |
|
|
future equity or debt offerings or our announcements of these offerings. |
In addition, in recent years, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Stock Market and the
securities of technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating
performance of individual companies. These broad market fluctuations have in the past and may in
the future materially and adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating results.
Investors may be unable to sell their shares of our common stock at or above the purchase price.
51
Our stock price may decline if additional shares are sold in the market.
Future sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock by our existing stockholders in
the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, may cause the market price of
our common stock to decline. In addition, we may be required to issue additional shares upon
exercise of previously granted options that are currently outstanding. Increased sales of our
common stock in the market after exercise of currently outstanding options could exert significant
downward pressure on our stock price. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell
equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price we deem appropriate.
If securities analysts do not continue to publish research or reports about our business, or if
they downgrade our stock, the price of our stock could decline.
The trading market for our common stock relies in part on the availability of research and reports
that third-party industry or financial analysts publish about us. Further, if one or more of the
analysts who do cover us downgrade our stock, our stock price may decline. If one or more of these
analysts cease coverage of us, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause
the liquidity of our stock and our stock price to decline.
