Aug. 4, 2010 (PR Newswire) --

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- UTStarcom, Inc.
(Nasdaq: UTSI), today reported financial results for the second quarter of
2010 ended June 30, 2010.

"Our second quarter performance reflects continued progress towards
restructuring the company and an improved business model," said Peter
Blackmore, UTStarcom's chief executive officer and president. "We are
optimistic about the market opportunity for IPTV and broadband in China, India
and Japan and remain focused on growing bookings in these areas to achieve
profitability."

Second quarter 2010 Financial Results

Net sales for the second quarter of 2010 were $73.2 million as compared to
$80.2 million in the second quarter of 2009. Gross margin for the second
quarter of 2010 was 31% as compared to gross loss of 20% in the second quarter
of 2009. The operating loss for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009 were $5.1
million and $85.4 million, respectively.

The GAAP net loss attributable to UTStarcom for the second quarter of 2010
was $9.0 million, or a loss of $0.07 per share, as compared to a loss of $84.3
million, or loss of $0.66 per share in the second quarter of 2009.

Second quarter 2010 GAAP operating expenses of 28.0 million include a $2.1
million net gain related to the divestiture of our IP Messaging and US PDSN
Assets in the quarter.

Net cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2010
was $308.0 million compared to $266.9 million on December 31, 2009.

Non-GAAP Results

To enable a comparison of the financial results for the Company on a year-
over-year basis the Company has prepared certain non-GAAP results which
present the Company's results as if both the divestiture of PCD and the wind-
down of the Company's Korea-based handset operations were completed as of the
beginning of the earliest time-period presented.

The second quarter of 2010 non-GAAP revenue was $73 million, non-GAAP
gross margin was 30% and non-GAAP operating loss was $6 million. This compares
to the second quarter of 2009 non-GAAP revenue of $83 million, non-GAAP gross
margin of 14% and non-GAAP operating loss of $55 million.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this earnings release, UTStarcom refers to certain non-GAAP financial
measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a
company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes
or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most
directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
A reconciliation between non-GAAP and GAAP measures can be found in the
accompanying tables. UTStarcom believes that, while these non-GAAP measures
are not a substitute for GAAP results, they provide a basis for the Company's
planning and forecasting of future periods. These non-GAAP measures have been
reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure as required under Securities and
Exchange Commission rules.

On July 1, 2008, the Company divested its Personal Communications Division
("PCD") which has historically represented a significant portion of the
Company's revenues. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company announced
actions to wind down its Korea-based handset manufacturing operations. To
enable a comparison of the financial results for the Company on a year-over-
year and a quarter-over-quarter basis the Company has prepared certain non-
GAAP results which present the Company's results as if both the divestiture of
PCD and the wind down of the Company's Korea-based handset operations were
completed prior to each time period presented. The reconciliation between GAAP
and these non-GAAP financial measures is provided at the end of this press
release and on the Company's website.

    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 both PCD had been divested and the Korea
    handsets business had been wound down prior to each time period reflected
    below.  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.

    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 both PCD had been divested and the Korea
    handsets business had been wound down prior to each time period reflected
    below.  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
