May 07, 2020

BLOOMINGDALE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2020-- PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCTI) announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Highlights

  • Revenue of $17.5 million in the quarter, 15% lower compared to the first quarter 2019. Revenue was higher by 10% for the test and measurement product line, but lower by 24% in the higher volume antenna product line compared to the first quarter 2019.
  • Gross profit margin of 46.9% in the first quarter, up 4.9% compared to the gross profit margin in the first quarter 2019. The percentage increase in the first quarter is a result of higher revenues for test and measurement products and an increase in the gross margin percentage for antenna products.
  • GAAP net loss per share of $0.04 in the first quarter compared to a GAAP net loss per share of $0.02 in the first quarter 2019.
  • Non-GAAP net income and adjusted EBITDA are measures the Company uses to measure its core earnings. A reconciliation of those non-GAAP measures to our GAAP financial statements is provided later in the press release.
    • Non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.01 in the first quarter compared to Non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.04 in the first quarter 2019.
    • Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue of 3.8% in the first quarter compared to 6.6% in the first quarter 2019.
  • $38.3 million of cash and short-term investments and no debt at March 31, 2020 compared to $39.7 million and no debt at December 31, 2019. During the first quarter 2020, the Company repurchased shares valued at $2.0 million pursuant to a share repurchase program that has been terminated.

“Our priorities during this COVID-19 pandemic are to keep our employees safe and to serve our customers in critical infrastructure markets,” said David Neumann, PCTEL’s CEO. “While first quarter revenue didn’t meet our financial plan, we are pleased with our record-setting scanning receiver revenue in the quarter. This result reinforces our belief that 5G will be a growth driver for several years. We are well-positioned for the long-term with our cost structure and competitive products that enable wireless connectivity for mission critical applications.”

This schedule reconciles the Company's GAAP operating income (loss) to its non-GAAP operating income (loss). The Company believes that presentation of this schedule provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company's core operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's GAAP results.

The adjustments to GAAP operating income (loss) (a) consist of stock compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets. The adjustments to GAAP net income (loss) include the non-GAAP adjustments to operating income (loss) as well as adjustments for (b) non-cash income tax expense.
