  • Non-GAAP net loss of $0.3 million (or loss of $0.01 per share), compared to a non-GAAP net income of $0.2 million (or $0.00 per share) for the second quarter of fiscal 2012.  For the six months ended October 31, 2012, non-GAAP net income was $0.2 million (or $0.00 per share).

"While year-to-date sales growth was solid based on an exceptionally strong first quarter, growth in the second quarter was affected by some delays in sales from our channel partners as we transition a greater share of our contract business from direct sales to the channel, as well as the continued economic challenges in Europe," stated Donovan Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "The opportunity continues to grow for our offerings with carriers looking to offer voice and video on multiple end user devices, leveraging data and WiFi networks and enterprises looking to create cost savings and increased productivity extending communications services to mobile devices. Overall, with a strong sales pipeline, channel partners coming on-line and favorable long-term market trends, our outlook for continued growth remains very positive." continued Jones.

Recent Operational Highlights

  • Announced an agreement to provide the Bria mobile and tablet softphone applications to Altibox, a leading Norwegian triple-play service provider, enabling their customers to make mobile calls using their home phone number regardless of their location.

  • Announced an agreement with Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Software Corporation that will enable Japanese enterprises to extend unified communications and fixed-mobile convergence services to their customers' mobile workers, telecommuters and business travelers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains "non-GAAP financial measures". The non-GAAP financial measures in this news release may include non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP income (loss) from operations which exclude non-cash stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible asset charges relative to gross margin and income (loss) from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures may also include non-GAAP net income (loss) which excludes non-cash stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and fair value adjustment on derivative instruments charges relative to net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.  CounterPath utilizes both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to assess what it believes to be its core operating performance and to evaluate and manage its internal business and assist in making financial operating decisions.  CounterPath believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures, together with GAAP measures, provides investors with an alternative presentation useful to investors' understanding of CounterPath's core operating results and trends.
