Sierra Wireless Reports Third Quarter 2018 Results
Revenue increases 17.9% year-over-year to $203.4 million in the third quarter of 2018
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - November 8, 2018 - Sierra Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW) today reported results for its third quarter ending September 30, 2018. All results are reported in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), except as otherwise indicated below.
“We had strong growth in revenue and adjusted EBITDA on a year-over-year basis in the Third Quarter,” said Kent Thexton, President and CEO. “We continued to strengthen our position as the leader in Device-to-Cloud IoT solutions and our two highest margin businesses - namely Enterprise Solutions and IoT Services - increased to 27% of total revenue in Q3.”
Revenue for the third quarter of 2018 was $203.4 million, an increase of 17.9%, compared to $172.6 million in the third quarter of 2017. Product revenue was $179.4 million, up 11.1% year-over-year, and Services and Other revenue was $24.0 million, up 117.8% compared to the third quarter of 2017. Quarterly revenue for the three business segments was as follows: (i) Revenue from OEM Solutions was $148.3 million in the third quarter of 2018, up 7.6% compared to $137.9 million in the third quarter of 2017; (ii) Revenue from Enterprise Solutions was $32.1 million in the third quarter of 2018, up 22.0% compared to $26.3 million in the third quarter of 2017; and (iii) Revenue from IoT Services was $23.0 million in the third quarter of 2018, up 172.8%, compared to $8.4 million in the third quarter of 2017 driven by the contribution from Numerex and organic subscriber growth.
GAAP RESULTS
• | Gross margin was $67.3 million, or 33.1% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $57.3 million, or 33.2% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2017. |
• | Operating expenses were $66.4 million and earnings from operations was $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to operating expenses of $56.9 million and earnings from operations of $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2017. |
• | Net loss was $1.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018 compared to net earnings of $1.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017. |
NON-GAAP RESULTS(1)
• | Gross margin was 33.1% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to 33.3% in the third quarter of 2017. |
• | Operating expenses were $56.5 million and earnings from operations were $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to operating expenses of $47.9 million and earnings from operations of $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2017. |
• | Net earnings were $10.5 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018 compared to net earnings of $7.7 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017. |
• | Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") were $16.0 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $13.2 million in the third quarter of 2017. |
(1) See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results by Quarter" below.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter of 2018 were $67.5 million, representing a decrease of $5.9 million, compared to the end of the second quarter of 2018. The decrease in cash was primarily due to capital expenditures and repurchase of common shares under our Normal Course Issuer Bid, partly offset by cash provided by operating activities.
Chief Operating Officer Appointment
Jason Krause has been appointed Chief Operating Officer of the company. In his new role, Jason will be responsible for all aspects of Sierra Wireless product and services, including: product portfolio strategy; product management; R&D; supply chain; quality; and global MNVO network and service operations. Prior to his new position, Jason was Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Enterprise Solutions business unit, and before that, he was Senior Vice President of Marketing, Strategy, and Corporate Development. Before joining Sierra Wireless in 2007, Jason worked at the Boston Consulting Group and held marketing and engineering roles at Altera Corporation. He has an MBA from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and a BASc in Electronics Engineering from Simon Fraser University.
Accounting Standard Adoption
We adopted the new accounting standard for revenue recognition (ASC 606) effective January 1, 2018. Our third quarter 2018 financial results reflect the adoption of this new standard and prior periods have been adjusted accordingly.
Financial Guidance
For the fourth quarter of 2018, we expect revenue to be in the range of $200 million to $208 million and non-GAAP net earnings per share to be in the range of $0.22 to $0.30. Included in this guidance range for the fourth quarter is an estimated negative impact of approximately $0.03 on earnings per share related to U.S. tariffs on goods imported from China.
This non-GAAP guidance reflects current business indicators and expectations. Inherent in this guidance are risk factors that are described in greater detail in our regulatory filings. Our actual results could differ materially from those presented above. All figures are approximations based on management's current beliefs and assumptions.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We disclose these non-GAAP financial measures as we believe they provide useful information to investors and analysts to assist them in their evaluation of our operating results and to assist in comparisons from one period to another. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Non-GAAP gross margin excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related social taxes and certain other nonrecurring costs or recoveries.
Non-GAAP earnings (loss) from operations includes allocation of realized gains or losses on forward contracts and excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related social taxes, acquisition-related amortization, acquisition-related and integration costs, restructuring costs, impairment and certain other nonrecurring costs or recoveries.
Non-GAAP income tax expense includes certain tax adjustments and taxes on acquisition-related amortization, acquisition-related and integration costs, restructuring costs, other non-recurring costs and foreign exchange.
In addition to the above, Non-GAAP net earnings (loss) and non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per share exclude the impact of foreign exchange gains or losses on translation of certain balance sheet accounts, foreign exchange gains or losses on forward contracts and certain tax adjustments.
We use the above-noted non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes and to allow us to assess the performance of our business before including the impacts of the items noted above as they affect the comparability of our financial results. These non-GAAP measures are reviewed regularly by management and the Board of Directors as part of the ongoing internal assessment of our operating performance. We also use non-GAAP earnings from operations as one component in determining short-term incentive compensation for management employees.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) plus stock-based compensation expense and related social taxes, acquisition-related and integration costs, restructuring cost, impairment, certain other nonrecurring costs or recoveries, amortization, foreign exchange gains or losses on translation of certain balance sheet accounts, unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses on forward contracts, interest and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes and is an important indicator of our operating performance and our ability to generate liquidity through operating cash flow that will fund future working capital needs and fund future capital expenditures.
