Packeteer(R), Inc. (Nasdaq: PKTR), the global leader in high-performance, intelligent WAN Application Delivery, today announced results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.


Net revenues for the first quarter 2007 were $34.7 million, compared with $32.3 million for the first quarter 2006, an increase of 7%. Although slightly higher than our preliminary estimate reported on April 4, 2007, net revenues decreased sequentially nearly 19% from the $42.7 million reported in the fourth quarter 2006. GAAP net loss for the first quarter 2007 was $6.1 million or $0.17 per diluted share. This compares to first quarter 2006 GAAP net income of $4.5 million or $0.13 per diluted share.


Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter 2007 was $3.1 million or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income for the first quarter 2006 of $7.2 million or $0.20 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income (loss) includes adjustments for stock-based compensation and amortization of purchased intangible assets, net of the related tax impact. See our "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP Net Income" for further information.


Total cash and investments at March 31, 2007 was $84.1 million compared to $76.6 million at December 31, 2006. Accounts receivable of $24.0 million represents 62 days sales outstanding (DSO), compared to $31.7 million representing 68 DSO at December 31, 2006. The lower receivable balance and related DSO were primarily due to lower and more linear quarterly revenues compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. Total inventories increased to $6.0 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $4.0 million at December 31, 2006, primarily due to the decrease in sales in the quarter.


"After reviewing the most recent quarter, we believe that the revenue shortfall resulted mostly from longer product evaluations and proof of concept trials performed by various customers," said Dave Cote, president and CEO of Packeteer. We believe this resulted from an increasingly competitive marketplace, and our inability to deliver several product enhancements to our acceleration product lines by quarter end. We currently expect to deliver these enhancements by mid May, and as a result expect a 5-10% sequential revenue increase in our upcoming second quarter.


"Along with modestly slowing our planned second and third quarter investments in various functional areas in the company, and continuing to accelerate the development and launch of several new products later in the year, we remain very optimistic about our long-term business opportunities. We also recognize the importance of returning to our target levels of profitability as quickly as possible, while delivering new products that are important to our customers and the expanding market."
