BOULDER, CO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/27/2006 -- Carrier Access Corporation (NASDAQ: CACS), a manufacturer of broadband communications equipment, today reported first-quarter 2006 revenue of $21.9 million, up 49% from $14.7 million reported in the first quarter of 2005.
On a GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of 2006 was $63,000, or $0.0 per diluted share as compared with a GAAP net loss of $5.0 million, or $(0.15) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2005. Non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2006 was $1,525,500, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $3,979,000 or $(0.12) per diluted share for the first quarter of 2005. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, and amortization of purchased intangibles, including any income tax effects.
GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2006 includes stock-based compensation expense related to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Statement SFAS 123® of $576,000, net of tax, or $0.02 per diluted share. GAAP net loss for the comparative first quarter of 2005 did not include stock-based compensation expense. Including the pro-forma stock-based compensation expense previously disclosed in Carrier Access' financial statement footnotes, GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2005 would have been $(5,939,000) or $(0.17) per diluted share.
The reconciliation of the GAAP net income and per share amounts to the respective Non-GAAP amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 is set forth at the end of this press release.
"Wireless demand drove significant revenue growth in the first quarter for Carrier Access," said Roger Koenig, Carrier Access' president and chief executive officer. "In addition, while investing heavily in R&D, we increased our gross margin, and ended the quarter profitably, a dramatic improvement over our financial results a year ago. We continue to believe our technology solutions for wired and wireless networks will favorably position us to supply the expansion of multimedia communication services."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The presentation of non-GAAP additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or diluted net income (loss) per share prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We believe that the non-GAAP measures information is used by and is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating results and comparative trends. The non-GAAP results are an indicator of our baseline performance before gain, losses or other charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results and are excluded by management for purposes of evaluating performance against internal budgets and in making operational decisions. In addition, these non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods.
