NEWS RELEASE

For Immediate Release

 

Xyratex Ltd Announces Results for the Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2005

Q4 Revenues $203.6 million, up 74.4% Year over Year

Fiscal year 2005 Revenues $679.6 million, up 48% Year over Year

 

Havant, UK – January 5, 2006 – Xyratex Ltd (Nasdaq: XRTX), a leading provider of modular enterprise class data storage subsystems and storage process technology, today announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended November 30, 2005.  Revenues for the fourth quarter were $203.6 million, an increase of 74.4% compared to revenues of $116.7 million for the same period last year and a 24.2% increase compared to $163.9 million in the prior quarter.

 

For the fourth quarter, GAAP net income was $13.8 million, or $0.48 per diluted share compared to GAAP net income of $8.2 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations increased 185.3% to $15.5 million, or a diluted earnings per share of $0.54, compared to non-GAAP net income of $5.4 million in the same quarter a year ago. A reconciliation between net income on a GAAP basis and net income on a non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows”, below.

 

Gross profit margin in the fourth quarter was 21.7%, compared to 20.7% in the same period last year and 20.2% in the prior quarter primarily due to business mix, particularly related to an increased proportion of Storage Infrastructure revenues.

 

Revenues for fiscal year 2005 were $679.6 million, an increase of 48%, compared to revenues of $459 million for fiscal year 2004.

 

GAAP net income for fiscal year 2005 was $42.2 million or $1.45 per diluted share compared to a GAAP net loss of $135.2 million for fiscal year 2004. The net loss for fiscal year 2004 includes non-cash equity compensation expense of $181.1 million. Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2005 increased 52.2% to $46.9 million, or a diluted earnings per share of $1.62, compared to non-GAAP net income from continuing operations of $30.8 million for fiscal year 2004.

 

“Xyratex posted an excellent performance during the quarter with revenues growing over 74% year over year. Our fiscal year performance was outstanding and reflects the continued strength of our customers in a growing market and the strong industry trends that our technology supports,” said Steve Barber, CEO of Xyratex. “The markets we serve are continuing to project strong growth and we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of this through our increased technology and growing OEM customer base.”

Business Highlights

 

                  We achieved record revenues in both divisions while continuing to successfully integrate the recent acquisitions of Oliver Design and nStor.

 

                  We expanded our Storage Infrastructure manufacturing facility in Malaysia with the addition of 40,000 square feet. This facility now has the additional manufacturing capability to meet the increased demand for our capital equipment.

 

                  We announced the general availability of our Application Platform. This 2U 12 drive ATX based enclosure is the first in a family of products to be offered by Xyratex, specifically targeted at the Small-to-Medium size Business (SMB).

 

                  We demonstrated the new 5402 4Gb/s RAID enclosure, which leverages technology from the nStor acquisition.

 

                  We secured new design wins with Bright Systems, Compellent Technologies, Concurrent, Lefthand Networks, PowerFile, Rorke Data as well as a number of other Tier 2 and Tier 3 customers.

 

                  We shipped 14 Media Precision Cleaning machines in the second half of fiscal year 2005 after the acquisition of Oliver Design as compared to 7 equivalent systems in the whole of 2004. In addition, we broadened the number of products we now ship to Komag to include both Media Precision Cleaning machines and Automation equipment.

 

Business Outlook

 

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. These statements do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions or divestitures.

 

                  Revenue in the first quarter of 2006 is projected to be in the range $167 to $177 million.

 

                  Fully diluted earnings per share is anticipated to be between $0.10 and $0.17 on a GAAP basis in the first quarter. On a non-GAAP basis fully diluted earnings per share is anticipated to be between $0.18 and $0.25. Non-GAAP earnings per share excludes non-cash equity compensation, amortization of intangible assets, certain other acquisition related charges and related taxation expense.

Safe Harbor Statement

 

This press release contains forward–looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include projected revenue and fully diluted earnings per share data (on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis) for the first quarter. Such statements are only predictions and involve risks and uncertainties such that actual results and performance may differ materially. Factors that might cause such a difference include successful integration of nStor’s assets and employees into Xyratex, building future disk cleaning products, Xyratex’s inability to compete successfully in the competitive and rapidly changing marketplace, failure to retain key employees, cancellation or delay of projects and adverse general economic conditions in the U.S. and internationally. These risks and other factors include those listed under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in Xyratex’s Annual Report on Form 20-F as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 000-50799). In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

(a)                                  Non-GAAP Adjustment for the three and twelve month periods ended November 30, 2005 includes non-cash amortization of intangible assets and in process research and development expense and the related tax effects and non-cash equity compensation expense. Non-GAAP Adjustment in these periods also includes expenses of $830,000 resulting from withdrawing from a major research and development project and the related tax effect and a tax benefit of $864,000 resulting from a reorganization of our legal structure. Non-GAAP Adjustment for the three and twelve month periods ended November 30, 2004 includes non cash equity compensation expense and the related tax effect, non-cash amortization of intangible assets and the related tax effect and in process research and development expense and the related tax effect. Non-GAAP Adjustment for the twelve months ended November 30, 2004 also includes elimination of the bad debt allowance on a supplier loan of $6,000,000 and accrued interest of $933,000 together with the related tax on the accrued interest and expenses recorded in connection with our preparation for our initial public offering.

 

We believe these Non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide an alternative method of measuring the operating performance of our business by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses which we believe are not indicative of our core operating results.

 

(b)                                 Pro forma net earnings per share reflects the effect on the year ended November 30, 2004 of the conversion of Xyratex Group Limited class A and class B preferred ordinary shares and class C ordinary shares to common shares of Xyratex Ltd on completion of its initial public offering, on June 29, 2004, by assuming the conversion had taken place at the beginning of the year.
