        margin, was 39.5% compared to 31.1% in the first quarter 2011. First
        quarter 2011 gross margin excluding PHS deferred revenue amortization

"Closing out the first quarter, we are pleased with the year-over-year growth of our traditional equipment business and our progress in ramping up our media operational support services business," said UTStarcom Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Jack Lu. "We continue to experience an uptick in demand in China among higher-margin cable customers, as the country's cable operators increase their investments in network infrastructure upgrades. For 2012, we anticipate a healthy revenue growth rate, stable gross margin and improvement in operational cash flow."

Mr. Lu continued, "Our current growth initiative to build out our media operational support service business, namely our video service cloud or VSC platform, is rolling out smoothly. The VSC's video distribution network service and video conferencing service now serve several clients in a trial phase, and we expect some of them to commercialize in the second quarter of this year."

First Quarter 2012 Financial Results

Revenues

UTStarcom's total revenues for the first quarter 2012 were $46.7 million, a decrease of 23.8% year over year from $61.3 million for the corresponding period of 2011. First quarter 2012 and first quarter 2011 GAAP total revenues are not comparable as deferred revenue amortization related to PHS of $23.6 million was only included in the first quarter 2011 but not included in the first quarter 2012 because deferred revenue amortization related to PHS ended at the end of 2011. Excluding first quarter 2011 amortization of PHS deferred revenue, total revenues for the first quarter 2012 increased 23.8% year over year.


    --  Net sales from equipment for the first quarter 2012 were $38.7 million,
        a decrease of 26.8% year over year. Deferred revenue amortization
        related to PHS of $23.6 million was included in net sales from equipment
        in the first quarter 2011 results.  Excluding first quarter 2011 PHS
        deferred revenue amortization, net sales from equipment for the first
        quarter 2012 increased 32.2% year over year. The increase was mainly
        driven by increased sales of MSTP products in Taiwan and MSAN products
        in Japan compared to the first quarter 2011.
    --  Net sales from equipment-based services for the first quarter 2012 were
        $7.8 million, a decrease of 6.6% year over year. The decrease was
        primarily driven by less next generation network ("NGN") service
        contracts in China, partially offset by increased service revenue from
        the Company's international business.
    --  Net sales from operational support services for the first quarter 2012
        were approximately $0.2 million as a result of IP signage revenue
        sharing project and technology service revenue generated by the
        Company's iTV.cn subsidiary.

Gross Profit

UTStarcom's gross profit was $18.4 million, or 39.5% of net sales, for the first quarter 2012, compared to $19.1 million, or 31.1% of net sales, for the corresponding period of 2011. Deferred revenue amortization related to PHS of $23.6 million with 34.8% gross margin was included in the first quarter 2011 results. First quarter 2011 gross profit, excluding PHS-related gross profit, was $10.9 million, or 28.8% of net sales.


    --  Gross profit for equipment sales in the first quarter 2012 was $16.3
        million, a decrease of 5.0% year over year. Gross margin for equipment
        sales in the first quarter of 2012 was 42.1%, compared to 32.4% for the
        corresponding period in 2011. The margin increase was primarily due to
        increased sales of higher gross margin MSAN and MSTP products in the
        first quarter 2012 and gross margin improvement in China. Gross margin
        for equipment sales in the first quarter 2012 also included $1.3 million
        for reversal of third party commission reserve, purchase order liability
        accrual and sale of previously reserved inventory, which positively
        impacted the Company's gross margin in the first quarter 2012.
    --  Deferred revenue amortization related to PHS of $23.6 million with 34.8%
        gross margin was included in equipment sales in the first quarter 2011
        results. Gross profit and gross margin for equipment sales, excluding
        PHS-related gross profit and gross margin, was $8.9 million and 30.5%
        for the first quarter 2011.
    --  Gross profit for equipment-based services in the first quarter 2012 was
        $2.2 million, an increase of 2.4% year over year. Gross margin for
        equipment-based services in the first quarter of 2012 was 28.8%,
        compared to 26.2% for the corresponding period of 2011. The margin
        increase was primarily due to gross margin improvement of
        RollingStream® service contracts in China.
    --  Gross loss for operational support services in the first quarter 2012
        was approximately $0.1 million as a result of the amortization of the
        costs of revenue-sharing projects and equipment leasing by iTV.cn
        subsidiary.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the first quarter 2012 were $22.2 million, a decrease of 26.5% year over year, from $30.2 million in the corresponding period in 2011.


    --  Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter 2012
        were $14.4 million, a decrease of 25.4% year over year. The decrease was
        primarily due to a decrease in bad debt expense, a decrease in personnel
        costs as a result of continued restructuring efforts in 2011, and a
        reduction in rental costs after relocating the Company's Hangzhou and
        Beijing offices to new sites in the second quarter 2011.
    --  Research and Development ("R&D") expenses in the first quarter 2012 were
        $7.1 million, a decrease of 5.8% year over year. The decrease was
        primarily due to a reduction in personnel costs as a result of the
        Company's restructuring efforts in 2011, the proceeds from the sale of
        certain patents and a decrease in prototype parts used in R&D.
    --  Amortization of intangible assets in the first quarter 2012 was
        approximately $0.3 million, which remained the same year over year.
    --  Restructuring costs for the first quarter 2012 were $0.5 million,
        compared to costs of $3.1 million for the corresponding period of 2011.
        The decrease in restructuring costs was primarily the result of
        substantial completion of the restructuring plans in 2011. UTStarcom
        does not expect to incur significant additional restructuring charges in
        2012 related to previous restructuring plans.
    --  Net gain on divestitures in the first quarter 2012 was $0.2 million
        which was the contingent gain realized upon releasing of the remaining
        obligations in connection with the sale of China Packet Data Services
        Node ("PDSN") assets in the third quarter of 2010.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating loss for the first quarter 2012 was $3.8 million, compared to an operating loss of $11.1 million in the corresponding period of 2011.

Net Other Income (Expense)

Net other income for the first quarter of 2012 was $0.6 million, compared to net other income of $1.0 million for the corresponding period of 2011. Net other income for the first quarter of 2012 primarily consisted of a $0.5 million foreign exchange gain, primarily attributed to the depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar and the appreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollars. Net other income for the first quarter of 2011 primarily consisted of a $0.7 million foreign exchange gain mainly as a result of the appreciation of the Chinese renminbi, Euro and Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar, and the depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar, and $0.4 million of subsidy income from the Chinese government, which was offset by other miscellaneous expenses.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss attributable to UTStarcom shareholders for the first quarter 2012 was $4.2 million. Net loss attributable to UTStarcom shareholders for the first quarter 2011 was $10.3 million.

Basic and diluted loss per share for the first quarter 2012 amounted to $0.03. Basic and diluted loss per share for the first quarter 2011 was $0.07.

Cash Flow

    --  Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter 2012 was
        $14.7 million. The Company's operating activities were impacted by the
        change in operating assets and liabilities of $11.7 million.
    --  Net cash used by investing activities for the first quarter 2012 was
        $0.7 million.
    --  Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter 2012 was

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures which are adjusted to present those metrics as if PHS-related deferred revenue amortization had been excluded prior to each time period reflected. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Data" set forth at the end of this press release.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its operating performance by excluding amortization of PHS revenue that may not be indicative of its operating performance. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its operating performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical performance. The Company computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. However, these non-GAAP measures 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.
