PCTEL Posts $19.0 Million in Second Quarter Revenue

PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in wireless broadband solutions, announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007. Financial highlights of the quarter were: $19.0 million in revenue for the quarter compared to $26.8 million in the same quarter last year. Last year’s revenue included a one time $7.0 million intellectual property licensing settlement with Agere. $16.2 million in revenue for the quarter from the Broadband Technology Group, down three percent from the same quarter last year. The company saw year over year growth in its scanning receiver product line and a decline in its antenna product revenue. The decline in antenna product revenue reflects the company’s decision to exit the UMTS antenna market and the continued pruning of low margin product lines. Gross profit improved to 44 percent, compared to 43 percent in the second quarter of last year. The gross profit improvement reflected a greater contribution from our scanning receiver product line and the elimination of low cost antenna products. $2.5 million in revenue for the quarter from the Mobility Solutions Group, compared to $2.7 million in the same quarter last year. This is a decrease of eight percent over the second quarter last year. The second quarter last year included a heavy concentration of software customization fees related to a large carrier win. $0.3 million in licensing revenue for the quarter, compared to $7.4 million in the second quarter last year. Last year’s second quarter results included a one time $7.0 million licensing settlement with Agere. GAAP net loss of $(3.2) million for the quarter, or $(0.15) per basic share, compared to net income of $6.3 million, or $0.29 per diluted share for the same period in 2006. The second quarter this year included a $2.1 million restructuring charge related to the exiting of UMTS antenna operations. Last year’s GAAP net income included the one-time $7.0 million IP settlement. Non-GAAP net income of $1.0 million for the quarter, or $0.05 per diluted share compared to net income of $7.2 million, or $0.33 per diluted share for the same period in 2006. The Company’s reporting of non-GAAP income excludes expenses for restructuring, stock based compensation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill related to the Company’s acquisitions, and non cash income tax expense. Last year’s non-GAAP results also included the previously mentioned IP settlement. $68.6 million of cash and short-term investments at June 30, 2007, as compared to $67.7 million at the end of the first quarter 2007. The company repurchased 146,000 shares in the quarter for $1.5 million under its share repurchase plan. The shares were purchased at an average price of $9.91. "We took several decisive actions in the quarter to improve our long term results, specifically shutting down our operation in Ireland which was not meeting our financial objectives and focusing on sales growth by hiring a seasoned Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing,” said Marty Singer, PCTEL’s Chairman and CEO. "We now have a sharper focus and great opportunities to leverage a strong customer base and our technology investments as we move forward,” added Singer.
