VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sierra Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW) today reported results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2020. All results are reported in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), except as otherwise indicated below.
“We are on-track to complete the sale of our Automotive product line and expect the deal to close in the coming weeks. Our Continuing Operations in the Third Quarter, excluding the Automotive product line being divested, improved sequentially with Recurring and Other Services revenue up 11% sequentially and 22% year-over-year,” said Kent Thexton, President and CEO. “Combining revenue from our Continuing Operations with the discontinued Automotive product line, total revenue in the Third Quarter was $180.3 million compared to $174.0 million the prior year. Going forward, we are improving the Company’s operating efficiency and we have announced and are implementing a series of cost reduction initiatives.”
Revenue, including our Automotive Business, for the third quarter of 2020 was $180.3 million compared to $174.0 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of 3.6% in a challenging environment. Revenue, excluding our Automotive Business, for the third quarter of 2020 was $113.4 million compared to $136.7 million in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of 17.1%. Revenue, excluding Automotive was up 1.5% sequentially from Q2 2020. Our transformation to an IoT Solutions company is progressing well with record recurring revenue design wins year to date and increasing device design wins. Additionally, in our Enterprise Networking we are seeing strong growth in our opportunities pipeline.
Quarterly revenue for our two business segments was as follows:
(i) |
Revenue from IoT Solutions was $79.1 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of 15.4% compared to $93.4 million in the third quarter of 2019 due to lower hardware sales in Enterprise gateway products and IoT Solutions modules driven by the impact of COVID-19, the economic impact on energy, sales & payment and public safety, competitive pressure in hardware only segments, and a transition to lower device ASPs with the increasing sales of LPWA technologies. Within this segment we had solid year-over-year recurring and other service revenue growth of 21.6% driven by growth in connected devices. |
|
|
||
(ii) |
Revenue from Embedded Broadband, excluding our Automotive Business, was $34.3 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of 20.8% compared to $43.3 million in the third quarter of 2019, reflecting lower mobile computing and networking sales due to previously communicated design losses of two higher-margin computing customers. |
Recurring and other services revenue in the third quarter of 2020 was $29.8 million, representing 26.3% of consolidated revenue and Product revenue was $83.6 million, representing 73.7% of consolidated revenue.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the results of operations of the Automotive Business are reported as discontinued operations in our consolidation statements of operations and comprehensive earnings (loss) for each of the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

- Operating expenses, excluding our Automotive Business, were $57.2 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $62.5 million in the third quarter of 2019. In the third quarter of 2020, we recorded government grants under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) of $5.6 million and other COVID-19 related subsidies of $0.7 million, totaling $6.3 million.

(1) See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results by Quarter" below.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (including cash held for sale) at the end of the third quarter of 2020 was $72.0 million, representing an increase of $9.5 million from the end of the second quarter of 2020. The increase in cash was primarily driven by additional borrowings under our credit facility, offset by cash flow used in operating activities and capital expenditure. Our cash flow from operating activities were negatively impacted by the unwinding of our receivables factoring program related to the Automotive business prior to the completion of the divestiture.
Credit Facilities
During the third quarter, we entered into a Cdn$12.5M term loan agreement with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC") backed by the Canadian Government under the Business Credit Availability Program to provide for additional liquidity to the Company.
Financial Guidance
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our global business continues to remain uncertain. While we continue to evaluate the effects of COVID-19 on our business, the overall severity and duration of adverse impacts related to COVID-19 on our business, financial condition, cash flows and/or results of operations for the fourth quarter 2020 and beyond cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate size of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on future developments which cannot be currently predicted.
Given these conditions, we continue not to provide guidance although we are seeing continued business improvements. In conjunction with the recently announced divestiture of the embedded automotive business, we have begun to initiate actions to reduce operating expenses by approximately $25 to $30 million on an annualized basis to rightsize the remaining business and improve ongoing earnings and cash flows.
We will continue to monitor the effects of COVID-19 on our business.
This non-GAAP guidance constitutes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws and reflects current business indicators and expectations. These statements are based on management's current beliefs and assumptions, which could prove to be significantly incorrect. Forward-looking statements, particularly those that relate to longer periods of time, are subject to substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ significantly from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, including those described in our regulatory filings. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" below.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We disclose these non-GAAP financial measures as we believe they provide useful information to investors and analysts to assist them in their evaluation of our operating results and to assist in comparisons from one period to another. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Non-GAAP gross margin excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related social taxes and certain other non-recurring costs or recoveries.
Non-GAAP earnings (loss) from operations includes allocation of realized gains or losses on forward contracts and excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related social taxes, acquisition-related amortization, acquisition-related and integration costs, restructuring costs, impairment, government grants related to COVID-19 relief and certain other non-recurring costs or recoveries.
Non-GAAP income tax expense includes certain tax adjustments and taxes on acquisition-related amortization, acquisition-related and integration costs, restructuring costs, other non-recurring costs and foreign exchange.
Non-GAAP net earnings (loss) and non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per share exclude the impact of foreign exchange gains or losses on translation of certain balance sheet accounts, foreign exchange gains or losses on forward contracts and certain tax adjustments.
Non-GAAP net earnings (loss) from continuing operations is equal to non-GAAP earnings (loss) from operations as described above, excluding operating results of our Automotive Business and excluding the impact of foreign exchange gains or losses on translation of certain balance sheet accounts, foreign exchange gains or losses on forward contracts and certain tax adjustments.
Non-GAAP net earnings (loss) from discontinued operations is equal to non-GAAP earnings (loss) from operations as described above pertaining to our Automotive Business, excluding the impact of foreign exchange gains or losses on translation of certain balance sheet accounts, foreign exchange gains or losses on forward contracts and certain tax adjustments.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) plus stock-based compensation expense and related social taxes, acquisition-related and integration costs, restructuring cost, impairment, certain other non-recurring costs or recoveries, amortization, foreign exchange gains or losses on translation of certain balance sheet accounts, unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses on forward contracts, interest, government grants related to COVID-19 relief and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes and is an important indicator of our operating performance and our ability to generate liquidity through operating cash flow that will fund future working capital needs and fund future capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA (continuing and discontinued) is equal to the Adjusted EBITDA as defined above including operating results of our Automotive Business.
We use the above-noted non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes and to allow us to assess the performance of our business before including the impacts of the items noted above as they affect the comparability of our financial results. These non-GAAP measures are reviewed regularly by management and the Board of Directors as part of the ongoing internal assessment of our operating performance. We also use non-GAAP earnings from operations as one component in determining short-term incentive compensation for management employees.
