Press ReleaseZhone Technologies Reports First Quarter 2006 Financial ResultsOakland, CA — April 20, 2006 — Zhone Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZHNE), the first company dedicated to building total-delivery solutions for voice, data and video worldwide, today reported its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006. Revenue for the first quarter of 2006 was $52.7 million compared with $53.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 and $27.6 million for the first quarter of 2005. Net loss for the first quarter of 2006, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), was $3.9 million or $0.03 per share compared with a net loss of $107.2 million or $0.73 per share for the fourth quarter of 2005 and a net loss of $5.1 million or $0.05 per share for the first quarter of 2005. First quarter 2006 results included incremental non-cash employee stock-based compensation expense associated with the implementation of SFAS 123R. Fourth quarter 2005 results included a non-cash charge of $102.1 million related to impairment of acquisition related intangibles and goodwill. Pro forma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2006, compared to pro forma EBITDA earnings of $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 and pro forma EBITDA loss of $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2005. During the first quarter of 2006, Zhone shipped 296,000 DSL ports, Zhone's strongest quarter for DSL shipments to date and a good indicator of the growing adoption of our flagship SLMS products. This represents more than a 20% increase in DSL ports over last quarter, which had previously been Zhone's biggest quarter for DSL shipments. During the first quarter of 2006, Zhone maintained its broad base of service provider customers with sales into each of its worldwide sales regions and with no single account representing over 10% of revenue. Zhone also won significant new business for its products, including shipments to 19 new customer accounts in both domestic and international sales regions. Zhone maintained its long-standing role as the "Number 1" worldwide market share leader in the highly coveted Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC) market for all of 2005 according to industry analyst firm Broadband Trends. BLCs remain the fastest growing segment of the multi-billion dollar broadband market. Zhone was also among the "Top 3" suppliers of DSL equipment in North America for 2005 according to Broadband Trends. "We are pleased with the sequential quarterly growth of our SLMS business, which increased by more than 11% over Q4 2005, as well as the strong rebound in our optical product line during the first quarter 2006, " said Mory Ejabat, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zhone. "Shipments of our flagship SLMS and optical products continue to fuel our company's growth while the legacy business experienced normal seasonal trends. We also maintained our focus on expense controls, and as a result, we again achieved profitability on a pro forma EBITDA basis."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement Zhone's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Zhone uses pro forma EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure Zhone believes is appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of Zhone's past financial performance and prospects for the future. These adjustments to GAAP results are made with the intent of providing greater transparency to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. These non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators that management uses as a basis for making operating decisions because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the company's operational performance, including the company's ability to provide cash flows to invest in research and development, and fund acquisitions and capital expenditures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management's internal comparisons to the company's historical operating results and comparisons to competitors' operating results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between net loss calculated on a GAAP basis and pro forma EBITDA on a non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
