Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K is a current report filed by Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. on February 4, 2009. The filing announces the company's results of operations and financial condition for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, which ended on January 2, 2009. It also provides guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2009.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text serves as a cover document referencing a press release (Exhibit 99.1) for specific numerical data. Consequently, the text does not provide clear values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity for the reported period. The document notes that the company reports in accordance with U.S. GAAP but also utilizes non-GAAP measures for internal planning and investor communication.
Material Changes and Non-GAAP Measures
The filing highlights the use of non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income/loss and earnings per share. These measures exclude specific items such as:
- Costs of product sales and services
- Amortization of purchased technology and intangible assets
- Research and development expenses
- Selling and administrative expenses
- Restructuring charges
- Provision for income taxes
A reconciliation of these non-GAAP figures to GAAP measures is included in the referenced press release. The filing text does not explicitly detail the magnitude of material changes versus the prior period, deferring to the attached exhibit.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management has issued guidance regarding expected revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2009, though specific figures are not contained in this text. The company states that non-GAAP measures are presented to help investors understand underlying operational performance separate from items that may have a disproportionate impact on results. Management emphasizes that these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial information.
Investor Verification Checklist
