FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
Alvarion® Reports Q2 2010 Results

Tel Aviv, July 28, 2010 — Alvarion Ltd. (NASDAQ:ALVR), the world’s leading provider of 4G networks in the Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) market today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2010.

Q2 Highlights:
·
Shipments of $57.7 million, a 20.6% sequential increase
·
Revenues of $49.0 million, a 5.6% sequential decline
·
GAAP net loss of ($0.17) per share; non-GAAP net loss of ($0.11) per share.

“We are pleased with the increase in shipments, as existing customers continue to expand their networks and prepare to serve more subscribers.  In addition, two new customers each accounted for over $1 million in shipments and revenues in Q2,” said Eran Gorev, President and CEO of Alvarion.

In the second quarter of 2010, total revenues were $49.0 million, a decrease of 5.6% from $51.9 million in the first quarter of 2010, and a decrease of 16.5% from $58.7 million in the second quarter of 2009.

The decline in gross margin to 36.1% reflects continued progress in deploying a number of large programs, including a significantly higher proportion of third-party equipment in the revenue mix compared with the prior period and the same quarter in 2009.

GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2010 was ($10.6) million, or ($0.17) per share, including restructuring and other charges of approximately $3.6 million related mainly to employee termination expenses and vacating office space.  This compares to a net loss of ($4.9) million, or ($0.08) per share in Q1 2010. GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2009 was ($4.0) million, or ($0.06) per share, including charges of approximately $0.9 million.
 
Excluding the amortization of intangibles, stock based compensation, restructuring and other charges, net, on a non-GAAP basis, the company reported net loss of ($6.7) million in the second quarter of 2010, or ($0.11) per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net loss of ($3.7) million, or ($0.06) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2010, and non-GAAP net loss of ($0.6) million, or ($0.01) per diluted share in the second quarter of 2009.

Please refer to the accompanying financial table for reconciliation of GAAP financial information to non-GAAP for the second quarter of 2010 and the comparative periods.
 
Cash used in operations was ($8.3) million. As of June 30, 2010, cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $91 million.

“We have been pursuing a number of large opportunities in different regions," said Gorev. “Recently, after a long tender process, a major operator in India signed Letters of Intent with three of Alvarion’s local partners to build and operate 4G networks in multiple areas of the country. While these partners are working to finalize their respective agreements with the operator, we are actively engaged with them negotiating equipment supply agreements and finalizing plans. At the same time, we are preparing to support large deployments in India and other countries."

Q3 2010 Guidance

Management continues to expect gradual improvement in shipments in the second half of the year. Meanwhile, the company is not giving detailed guidance for Q3 because the timing of revenue from several large projects cannot be predicted with accuracy.
