Cash and cash equivalents - $20.5 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $29.0 million at June 30, 2019.
"Results in Q3 were affected mainly by the slowdown in India and a delay in one large project in Latin America," said Ira Palti, president and CEO of Ceragon. "We are seeing areas of strength in demand, excluding India, and we expect revenue in most regions to improve in Q4 and also during 2020, allowing for typical seasonality in Q1. Driving overall growth next year, particularly in the second half, will be new 5G design wins we currently have in hand.
"Like many other companies in our industry, we have found it necessary to adjust our short-term expectations based on growing global uncertainties such as trade and economic trends causing a more cautious spending environment, coupled with the specific challenges facing operators as they gear up to 5G technology. During this period of transition, we intend to focus on reinforcing our technology leadership with ongoing investment in R&D, maintaining our financial strength with tight expense control, strong working capital management and remaining resilient in order to fully capitalize on the ramp in 5G deployments."
Supplemental geographical breakdown of revenue for the third quarter of 2019:
- Europe: 15%
- Africa: 6%
- North America: 11%
- Latin America: 17%
- India: 29%
- APAC: 22%
