ALISO VIEJO, CA — February 8, 2011— Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI) announced today that it has suspended its full-year 2011 revenue guidance. Subsequent to providing 2011 revenue guidance on January 11, 2011, the Company has become aware that orders in the first quarter for our core connection manager product, primarily from a key customer, will fall below expected levels. We believe this has occurred as a result of our customer carrying sufficient inventory to support sales of mobile broadband services for the first quarter.
We now expect first quarter 2011 revenues to be in the range of $15-20 million. Based on current information, we anticipate that the pace of sales for mobile broadband devices using our software will begin to return to more typical order levels in future quarters.
As a result of these developments, we feel that it is prudent to suspend our 2011 annual revenue guidance. We intend to provide quarterly revenue guidance during the remainder of 2011.
“The first half of 2011 is a time of exciting developments for the wireless industry. The rollout of new wireless networks are major new initiatives that take time to fully develop,” said William W. Smith, Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro Software. “We believe that our customer relationships remain strong, and the current first quarter revenue impact is due primarily to the timing of new product roll-outs and sales of existing inventory.”
The Company will hold a conference call to discuss these recent developments. The call will begin at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, February 9, 2011 and can be accessed through the following:
