CATAPULT COMMUNICATIONS REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2007 RESULTS
Mountain View, CA—February 1, 2007— Catapult Communications Corporation (Nasdaq: CATT) today reported revenues of $10.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006. Revenues in the same period in the prior year were $12.1 million.
The Company reported a net loss of $444,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the first fiscal quarter of 2007 compared to net income of $143,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the same period a year ago. These figures reflect the impact of $728,000 in pre-tax, non-cash stock option expenses recognized under FAS 123(R) in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to $574,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the company generated $1.1 million in positive cash flow from operations. The Company’s combined cash, cash equivalent and short-term investment position decreased by $2.5 million to $67.6 million, primarily due to the repurchase during the quarter of 417,118 common shares at a total cost of approximately $3.6 million. This reduced the remaining number of shares authorized for repurchase to 936,531 at December 31, 2006. The Company’s Board of Directors has since authorized a one million share increase in the number of shares available for repurchase.
“While it is encouraging that Catapult returned to positive cash flow from operations, we will need to continue to monitor the impact of industry consolidation in our customer base,” commented Dr. Richard A. Karp, Chairman and CEO.
