PCTEL Achieves $24.2 Million in Second Quarter Revenue

Increases to $0.08 Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share

BLOOMINGDALE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in Performance Critical Telecom solutions, announced its 2016 second quarter results.

Quarter Highlights

$24.2 million in revenue for the quarter, a decrease of 12 percent from the same period last year. The Company saw a 15 percent sequential quarterly increase in revenue from the first quarter.

GAAP gross profit margin of 38 percent in the quarter compared to 34 percent for the same period last year.

GAAP operating margin of negative 22 percent for the quarter compared to operating margin of negative six percent for the same period last year. During the quarter the company recorded a non-cash impairment of its acquired intangible assets related to its engineering services of $4.7 million, or 19 percent of revenue.

GAAP net loss of $11.1 million for the quarter, or $(0.69) per diluted share compared to net income of $347,000, or $0.02 per diluted share for the same period last year. In addition to the $4.7 million impairment of intangible assets, the Company recorded expense for the establishment of a $7.6 million valuation allowance on the Company’s U.S. based deferred tax assets to address a growing shift in the Company’s income outside of the United States that began this quarter. The after tax impact of the charges aggregate to $0.66 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP operating profit and net income are measures the company uses to reflect the results of its core earnings. The Company’s reporting of Non-GAAP net income excludes expenses for restructuring, gain or loss on sale of assets, stock based compensation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill related to the Company’s acquisitions, and non-cash related income tax expense.

Non-GAAP gross margin of 39 percent in the quarter, compared to 34 percent for the same period last year.

Non-GAAP operating margin of six percent in the quarter, compared to one percent for the same period last year.

Non-GAAP net income of $1.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share in the quarter, compared to $295,000 or $0.02 per diluted share in the same period last year.

$29.3 million of cash and short-term investments at June 30, 2016, an increase of approximately $1.4 million from the preceding quarter. During the quarter the Company generated free cash flow of approximately $2.4 million and paid a dividend of $853,000.

“Scanning receiver sales, engineering and staffing services, and core antenna products all posted sequential quarterly gains this past quarter,” said Marty Singer, PCTEL’s Chairman and CEO. “This growth, combined with our success in reducing operating expenses to 2013 levels, resulted in an eleven cent improvement in non-GAAP earnings compared to our first quarter. We also made strong progress in reducing our inventory across both businesses and launching new products, including our new SeeHawk Engage™ product. We look forward to a strong second half,” added Singer.
