Earnings per share, assuming dilution, were $0.29 for the quarter, compared to $0.24 for the first quarter of 2009.

ADTRAN Chief Executive Officer Tom Stanton stated, “We are pleased with our first quarter results which were driven by accelerating deployments of our wide portfolio of converged access solutions. Our Broadband Access category led the increase in revenue growing a notable 64% over the prior year and setting a new record level. Internetworking revenues also showed an impressive performance posting 45% year over year growth. The broad based increase in revenue points to the success of our positioning in an environment where carriers and enterprises are selectively accelerating investment to realize benefit from this new era of converged services.”

The Company also reported that the provision for income taxes in the first quarter of 2010 was higher due to delays in federal legislation required to extend research tax credits for the 2010 year.
