PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCTI) announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.
Highlights
- Revenue of $23.6 million in the quarter, 28% higher compared to the prior year. The third quarter revenue was higher by 104% for the test and measurement product line and higher by 11% for the antenna product line compared to the third quarter 2018.
- Gross profit margin of 45.1% in the quarter, up 8.6% compared to gross profit margin in the prior year. The increase in the third quarter is a result of higher revenues for test and measurement products and improved profitability for antenna products.
- GAAP net income per share of $0.07 in the quarter compared to a GAAP loss of $0.10 per share in the third quarter last year. In the quarter, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $0.3 million related to the transition plan for China manufacturing, which was approximately $0.02 per share.
- Non-GAAP net income and adjusted EBITDA are measures the Company uses to reflect the results of 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 share of $0.14 in the quarter compared to a net loss per share of $0.06 in the third quarter last year.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percent of revenue of 13.1% in the quarter compared to negative 3.4% in the third quarter last year.
- $38.1 million of cash and short-term investments at September 30, 2019 and no debt.
- The Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $7.0 million of its common stock, effective immediately through the end of 2020. Such purchases may be made from time to time at prevailing prices in the open market, by block purchases, in private transactions or otherwise. The repurchases will be funded with cash on hand.
“We are pleased with our fourth consecutive quarter of solid performance with significant improvement in revenue and earnings per share compared to a year ago,” said David Neumann, PCTEL’s CEO. “Our 5G scanning receiver business continues to drive revenue growth and gross margins in a market that is in its early stages. We are also encouraged by the number of industrial IoT applications and the need for our antenna solutions which will drive long term growth for PCTEL.”

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.
