Vyyo Reports First Quarter 2007 Financial Results

Vyyo Reports First Quarter 2007 Financial Results

NORCROSS, Ga., May 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Vyyo Inc. (NASDAQ:VYYO) , a supplier of broadband access equipment for cable system operators, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.

For the first quarter of 2007, Vyyo reported sales of $0.6 million, compared to $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 and $2.4 million in the first quarter of the previous year. Loss for the first quarter of 2007 was $11.0 million, or $0.61 per share, compared to a loss of $6.5 million, or $0.36 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2006 and a loss of $8.0 million, or $0.50 per share, in the first quarter of the previous year. The loss for the first quarter of 2007 included a one-time non-cash charge of $3.3 million in financial expenses from extinguishment of debt, which resulted from expensing the unamortized debt issuance costs and accretion related to the financing with Goldman, Sachs & Co. in March of 2006.

Vyyo ended the first quarter of 2007 with $31.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, up from $18.7 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2006.

"Cable system operators are recognizing the ability of our UltraBand(TM) spectrum overlay platform to provide an unparalleled increase in upstream capacity and to enable the delivery to subscribers of 100 channels of HDTV, HDTV on-demand, and T1, high-bandwidth DOCSIS 3.0 and Ethernet services," said Wayne Davis, CEO of Vyyo. "Through our announced relationships with Cox Communications and StarHub and our new funding from Goldman, Sachs & Co. we are showing that we are making progress with cable and that we have the resources necessary to execute on our strategy."
