(NASDAQ: PCTI), a leading provider of wireless solutions and access technology, today announced financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2003. Total revenue was $10.2 million for the second quarter of 2003 compared to $9.6 million reported in the second quarter of 2002. Net income for the second quarter of 2003 was $1.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(0.1) million, or $(0.01) per diluted share reported in the second quarter of 2002. Second quarter 2003 results included a $4.3 million gain on sale of its HSP modem line and a restructuring charge of $2.5 million. During the second quarter ending June 30, 2003, PCTEL sold its HSP modem product line to Conexant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNXT). Total revenue in the quarter included $7.3 million related to HSP modems up to the time of the sale, and $2.9 million related to the company's ongoing wireless and licensing products. A year ago in the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the company had no revenue in wireless products and $0.7 million in licensing revenue. "We are pleased to report revenue from all our new business activities -- licensing, Wi-Fi, and software-defined radios," said Marty Singer, PCTEL's Chairman and CEO. "In addition to our financial results, our Segue(TM) Roaming Client achieved significant traction in the industry as a result of our recently announced agreement with AT&T Wireless. With the divestiture of the HSP modem product line, we are now sharply focused on our wireless and intellectual property initiatives. We will leverage our strong balance sheet to invest aggressively in these activities and our shareholders should anticipate additional acquisitions and elevated product development and legal expenses as we build momentum for 2004. Cash and short-term investments ended the quarter at $111.8 million, an increase of $10.7 million from the first quarter of 2003. Both the initial cash received from the HSP modem product line divesture and employee stock options exercised during the quarter positively impacted the cash position. The company anticipates an additional $4 million in cash from the HSP modem product line divestiture in the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2003. As of June 30, 2003, the company has repurchased 1.281 million out of the 2.0 million shares authorized by the board of Directors under its two share buyback programs. During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, 20,000 shares were repurchased under these programs.
