Smith Micro Reports 2016 Third Quarter Financial Results

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Oct. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMSI) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

"As previously announced, revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was $6.5 million," said William W. Smith Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro Software.  "During the quarter, revenue was significantly impacted by two large orders that did not close as expected, due to timing issues with our customers. We currently expect to receive these orders over the next few quarters.

"With the shortfall in near term revenues, the Company has begun making some significant changes throughout the organization, lowering costs, better integrating the teams from our recent acquisitions, and streamlining our operations.  We don't expect these changes to have an impact on our ability to grow revenue as we look to return to profitability."  

Fiscal Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results:

Smith Micro Software reported revenues of $6.5 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to $9.6 million reported in the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Third quarter 2016 gross profit on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis (which excludes stock-based compensation) was $4.7 million, compared to $7.6 million reported in the third quarter of 2015.

GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 72.2 percent for the third quarter of 2016, compared to 79.6 percent for the third quarter of 2015.  Non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 72.3 percent for the third quarter of 2016, compared to 79.6 percent for the same quarter last year.  

GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2016 was $4.3 million, or $0.35 loss per diluted share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.07 loss per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015.

Non-GAAP net loss (which excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, and non-cash tax expense) for the third quarter of 2016 was $2.4 million, or $0.19 loss per diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $0.1 million, or $0.01 loss per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015.

Fiscal September Year-To-Date 2016 Financial Results:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company reported revenues of $21.2 million, compared to $29.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

GAAP and non-GAAP (which excludes stock-based compensation) gross profit was $15.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $23.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  

GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 72.5 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 79.2 percent for the same period last year.

GAAP net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $11.3 million, or a loss of $0.96 per diluted share, compared to a GAAP net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $2.0 million, a loss of $0.17 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP net loss (which excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, and non-cash tax expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $6.2 million, or $0.52 loss per diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. 

Total cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at September 30, 2016 were $5.9 million.

Fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2016 were 11.8 million, compared to 11.5 million fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2015.

The Company uses a non-GAAP reconciliation of gross profit, income (loss) before taxes, net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share in the presentation of financial results in this press release. Management believes that this presentation may be more meaningful in analyzing our income generation since stock-based compensation and the amortization of intangible assets are excluded from the non-GAAP earnings calculation and adjustments are made for Proforma taxes. Since we are in a cumulative loss position, the non-GAAP income tax expense (benefit) for the period ended September 30, 2016 was computed by using a tax rate of 38 percent using the Company's normalized combined U.S. federal, state and foreign statutory tax rates less various tax adjustments. This presentation may be considered more indicative of our ongoing operational performance. The tables below present the differences between non-GAAP earnings and net loss on an absolute and per-share basis. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and the non-financial measures as reported by Smith Micro Software may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
