Wave Reports Q3 Net Revenues of $4.3M
Lee, MA—November 6, 2014—Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX), an enterprise security software provider, today reported third quarter (Q3 ’14) results for the period ended September 30, 2014. Wave will host a live webcast http://www.wave.com/resource-center/webcasts and conference call (212-231-2902) today at 4:30 p.m. ET to review its Q3 results and progress to date in 2014.
Q3 Financial Highlights
· Wave’s total net revenues for Q3 ’14 declined to $4.3 million versus $6.3 million in Q3 ’13 and $4.4 million in Q2 ’14. The decline in total net revenues from Q3’13 included a decrease in licensing and maintenance net revenues of $1.8 million — consisting of:
· a $1.4 million decrease in OEM software bundling revenue, resulting primarily from a decline in shipments of Wave’s solutions under its OEM bundling relationship with Dell and
· a $0.4 million decline in consulting revenue from one of the world’s leading international oil and gas companies.
· The decline in total net revenues from Q2’14 consisted of:
· a decrease in licensing and maintenance net revenues of $0.4 million, consisting primarily of a quarter-over-quarter decrease in OEM software bundling revenue as described above and
· an increase of $0.3 million in revenue earned during Q3 ’14 from a service contract with an OEM partner.
· Q3 ‘14 total operating expenses declined to $6.4 million versus $9.1 million in Q3 ’13. Q2 ’14 total operating expenses were $8.2 million.
· Wave’s Q3 ‘14 net loss narrowed to $2.1 million, or ($0.05) per basic share, compared to a net loss of $2.9 million, or ($0.09) per basic share in Q3 ’13, and a net loss of $3.8 million, or ($0.09) per basic share, in Q2 ‘14.
· Q3 ‘14 total billings declined to $3.4 million versus Q3 ‘13 total billings of $7.1 million. Q2 ’14 total billings were $3.6 million. The year-over-year decline was due to a $2.2 million decrease in licensing and maintenance billings, the absence of current services billings versus $0.4 million in Q3 ’13, and a $1.1 million decrease in OEM billings, principally due to a decrease in Dell-related OEM bundling activity.
Working Capital
· Cash and cash equivalents were $4.3 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $2.1 million at December 31, 2013 and $1.8 million at September 30, 2013. Wave’s total current assets were $6.7 million at September 30, 2014 and total current liabilities were $8.6 million, including $5.0 million in deferred revenue.
· On October 15, 2014, Wave entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with DocMagic, Inc. to sell eSignSystems, a product line of Wave, to DocMagic, Inc. for $1.2 million. The transaction closed on October 16, 2014.
CEO Commentary:
“Our revenue and billings remained essentially flat compared to last quarter,” said Bill Solms, Wave’s President and CEO. We had hoped to see the first signs of increased billings from Wave’s revitalized products, sales and marketing efforts in late Q3, but based on the positive interest in Wave’s new Virtual Smart Card 2.0 and some of our legacy products, I stand by my previously stated goals. To attain those goals, we will require strong sales execution in Q4 and continuing into 2015. Wave remains committed to improvement in our sales and marketing execution, and I am continuing to take appropriate steps toward that end.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
As supplemental information, we provide the non-GAAP performance measures that we refer to as total billings and EBITDAS. Total billings is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, GAAP total net revenues. Total billings means the sum of total net revenues determined in accordance with GAAP, plus the increase or minus the decrease in deferred revenue. We consider total billings an important measure of our financial performance, as we believe it best represents the continued increase in our software license upgrades. Total billings is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and, as calculated by us, may not be consistent with computations of total billings by other companies. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, total billings were $3,624,909 and consisted of total net revenues of $4,439,820 adjusted for a decrease in deferred revenue of $814,911.
EBITDAS is defined as net income (loss) before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. EBITDAS should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (all as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance, financial position and cash flows, as EBITDAS is not defined by GAAP. However, we regard EBITDAS as a complement to net income (loss) and other GAAP financial performance measures, including an indirect measure of operating cash flow. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, negative EBITDAS was $(3,093,705) and consisted of net loss as reported of $(3,795,530) adjusted for net interest expense of $39,013, depreciation and amortization of $225,251 and stock-based compensation expense of $437,561.
