"We are pleased with the strong recovery we achieved in the second half of 2015, which brought our revenue back to levels comparable with the second half of 2014," said Ray Dolan, president and chief executive officer. "We had no 10% customers in the fourth quarter of 2015, although revenue from one of our historical 10% customers fell just short of this threshold. Instead, our fourth quarter revenue results were driven by a high volume of orders from a diverse set of customers. We are also very pleased with our cash and investments of approximately $142 million at the end of the year."
"Looking forward to 2016, we are confident that we will be able to realize the full year benefit of our 2015 cost reduction program and benefit from our strategy of continuing to drive gross margin improvements and leverage our existing cost infrastructure," continued Dolan.
"Sonus is and will continue to be a company with a culture of innovation, and we expect our future revenue growth to stem not only from our existing core products, but also from new, cutting-edge offerings. In 2015, for instance, we introduced our Web Real-Time Communications (WebRTC) Services Solution, and we were recently selected under a Verizon Request for Proposal as the vendor for Verizon's Enterprise WebRTC solution. Our WebRTC technology allows both service providers and enterprises to extend Unified Communications (UC) by enabling web browsers to participate in audio, video and data communications without requiring any additional plug-ins or application downloads, and it also leverages Sonus' Session Border Controllers to provide secure and critical UC services. We believe this is another proof point that Sonus' strategic plan is aligned with our customers' long-term goals of providing an easy migration path to network functions virtualization and the evolving Cloud architecture," added Dolan.
Mark Greenquist, chief financial officer, commented, "We generated $18.2 million of cash from operating activities in our fourth quarter of 2015, primarily as a result of delivering the highest non-GAAP quarterly earnings per share in the past five years. Additionally, we achieved a record high non-GAAP quarterly gross margin of 71.4%, driven primarily by favorable product mix. We continued to manage our working capital closely as evidenced by our improved Days Sales Outstanding, which was reduced to 61 days in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to 68 days in the third quarter of 2015. We ended 2015 with approximately 1,050 employees, in line with our restructuring targets. Our solid finish in 2015 allowed us to exceed our October 2015 revenue, gross margin and EPS guidance."
Stock Buyback Program
During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company repurchased a total of 0.3 million shares at a weighted average price of $6.65 per share, for a total of $1.8 million. Since the inception of the stock buyback program in July 2013, the Company has repurchased a total of 5.3 million shares at an average price of $15.92, for a total of $85.1 million as of December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, there were 49.5 million shares of the Company's common stock outstanding. Under the current stock buyback program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to an additional $14.9 million of the Company's common stock.

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this release, including statements in the section "Q116 and FY16 Guidance", statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, strategic position, plans and objectives of management for future operations and plans for future product development and manufacturing, are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "anticipates", "believes", "could", "estimates", "expects", "expectations", "intends", "may", "plans", "seeks", "projects" and other similar language, whether in the negative or affirmative, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, the timing of customer purchasing decisions and our recognition of revenues; economic conditions; our ability to recruit and retain key personnel; difficulties supporting our strategic focus on channel sales; difficulties retaining and expanding our customer base; difficulties leveraging market opportunities; the impact of restructuring activities; our ability to realize benefits from the Network Equipment Technologies, Inc. (NET) and Performance Technologies, Incorporated (PT) acquisitions and the Treq Labs, Inc. (Treq) asset acquisition; the effects of disruption from the PT and Treq transactions, making it more difficult to maintain relationships with employees, customers, business partners or government entities; the success implementing the integration strategies of NET, PT and Treq assets; litigation; actions taken by significant stockholders; difficulties providing solutions that meet the needs of customers; market acceptance of our products and services; rapid technological and market change; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; our ability to maintain partner, reseller, distribution and vendor support and supply relationships; higher risks in international operations and markets; the impact of increased competition; currency fluctuations; changes in the market price of our common stock; and/or failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We therefore caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in these forward-looking statements are discussed in Part I, Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", Part I, Item 3 "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" and Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Sonus management uses a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of the business, making operating decisions, planning and forecasting future periods, and determining payments under compensation programs. Our annual financial plan is prepared both on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, and the non-GAAP annual financial plan is approved by our board of directors. Continuous budgeting and forecasting for revenue and expenses are conducted on a non-GAAP basis (in addition to GAAP) and actual results on a non-GAAP basis are assessed against the annual financial plan. We consider the use of non-GAAP financial measures helpful in assessing the core performance of our continuing operations and liquidity, and when planning and forecasting future periods. By continuing operations, we mean the ongoing results of the business excluding certain expenses and credits, including, but not limited to: cost of product revenue related to the fair value write-up of acquired inventory, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation expense related to an abandoned facility, divestiture costs, acquisition-related expense, restructuring and other income arising from certain transactions. We consider the use of non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share helpful in assessing the performance of the continuing operations of our business. While our management uses non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance their understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance, our management does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP measures. In addition, our presentations of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives for, or in isolation from, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to Sonus' financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future.
As part of the assessment of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the PT acquisition, we were required to increase the aggregate fair value of acquired inventory by $1.8 million. The acquired inventory was recorded as cost of product revenue through June 27, 2014. We believe that excluding the incremental cost of product revenue resulting from the fair value write-up of this acquired inventory facilitates the comparison of our operating results to our historical results and to other companies in our industry.
Stock-based compensation is different from other forms of compensation, as it is a non-cash expense. For example, a cash salary generally has a fixed and unvarying cash cost. In contrast, the expense associated with an equity-based award is generally unrelated to the amount of cash ultimately received by the employee, and the cost to us is based on a stock-based compensation valuation methodology and underlying assumptions that may vary over time. We believe that excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense from our operating results facilitates the comparison of our financial statements to compare our financial results to our historical operating results and to other companies in our industry.
We exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets from non-GAAP expense and income measures. These amortization amounts are inconsistent in frequency and amount and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of acquisitions. Although we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets from our non-GAAP expenses, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. We believe that excluding the non-cash amortization of intangible assets facilitates the comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results and to other companies in our industry as if the acquired intangible assets had been developed internally rather than acquired.
During the second quarter of 2015, we reached an agreement with the landlord of one of our previously restructured facilities to vacate the facility without penalty or future payments. As a result, we were able to vacate the facility earlier than originally planned. In connection with this settlement, we recorded incremental depreciation expense to account for the change in estimated life of the fixed assets related to this facility. We believe that excluding this incremental depreciation expense facilitates the comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results and to other companies in our industry.
In the second quarter of 2014, we sold the Multi-Protocol Server (MPS) business that we acquired in connection with the acquisition of PT. We incurred transaction costs related to this divestiture in the second quarter of 2014. We do not consider these divestiture costs to be related to our continuing operations. We believe that excluding divestiture costs facilitates the comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results and to other companies in our industry.
We consider certain transition, integration and other acquisition-related costs to be unpredictable and dependent on a significant number of factors that may be outside of our control. We do not consider these acquisition-related costs to be related to the continuing operations of the acquired business or the Company. In addition, the size, complexity and/or volume of an acquisition, which often drives the magnitude of acquisition-related costs, may not be indicative of such future costs. We believe that excluding acquisition-related costs facilitates the comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results and to other companies in our industry.
We have recorded restructuring expense to streamline operations and reduce operating costs by closing and consolidating certain facilities and reducing our worldwide workforce. We review our restructuring accruals regularly and record adjustments (both expense and credits) to these estimates as required. We believe that excluding restructuring expense and credits facilitates the comparison of our financial results to our historical operating results and to other companies in our industry.
In October 2015, we sold the PT domain name and recognized a gain, net of commission and fees, of $0.9 million. This amount is included as a component of Other income, net. We believe that excluding the other income arising from this sale facilitates the comparison of our financial results to our historical results and to other companies in our industry.
In the first quarter of 2014, we recorded other income related to the settlement of a litigation matter in which we recovered a portion of our losses related to the impairment of certain prepaid royalties for software licenses that we had written off in fiscal 2012. This amount is included as a component of Other income, net. We believe that excluding the other income arising from this settlement facilitates the comparison of our results to our historical results and to other companies in our industry.
We believe that providing non-GAAP information to investors, in addition to the GAAP presentation, will allow investors to view the financial results in the way management views the operating results. We further believe that providing this information helps investors to better understand our financial performance and evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by our management to evaluate and measure such performance.
