Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On January 31, 2007, Harmonic Inc. (“Harmonic”) issued a press release regarding its preliminary unaudited financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2006. In the press release, Harmonic also announced that it would be holding a conference call on Wednesday, January 31, 2007, to discuss its preliminary financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2006. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, and the information in Exhibit 99.1 is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, and this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing by Harmonic under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Exchange Act.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In establishing operating budgets, managing its business performance, and setting internal measurement targets, Harmonic excludes a number of items required by GAAP. Management believes that these accounting charges and credits, which typically are non-cash nature or affect the period-to-period comparability of results, are not useful in managing its operations and business. Historically, Harmonic has publicly presented supplemental non-GAAP measures in order to assist the investment community to see Harmonic “through the eyes of management,” and thereby enhance understanding of its operating performance. The non-GAAP measures used by management are gross margins, operating expenses, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share. The presentation of non-GAAP information is subject to material limitations, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP results published by other companies. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP is included with the financial statements contained in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
