Looking ahead, the Company is fully committed to broadband as the driver of the business and primary revenue contributor going forward. As mentioned last quarter, new higher quality and higher margin products are still in early stages of their product life cycle and given a relative decline in carrier capital expenditures in 2014, including with the Company’s core customers, the uptake of these higher-end products has shifted from 2014 into the second half of 2015.

With respect to 2015 revenue results, the Company currently expects to generate total revenue in the range of $25 million to $30 million in the first quarter of 2015 and anticipates double-digit growth in non-GAAP revenue for the full year.

Further, it will maintain a tight focus on financial controls as it has consistently throughout since its restructuring efforts. With all of this said, the Company believes that in 2015 it will deliver incremental improvements in incremental improvements in non-GAAP operating income compared to 2014.

Mr. Wong concluded, “We believe we have taken the aggressive steps required to position us for improved performance as we enter 2015. The fact that we have market leading products coming to market, strong and growing client relationships around the world, and significantly improved global sales and marketing efforts gives us confidence that we are on the right track to monetize the initiatives that have been part of our transformation. In return, we intend to deliver value to our customers, partners and shareholders.”

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL DATA

(Unaudited)

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, UTStarcom uses certain non-GAAP measures which are adjusted to present those metrics as if stock compensation expenses, China IPTV- related deferred revenue amortization, divestiture loss had been excluded in prior years comparatives. We believe this enables year over year comparisons to our recent financial results. These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of UTStarcom’s underlying results and trends. In addition, these adjusted non-GAAP results are among the information management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
