PCTEL POSTS $11.5 MILLION IN SECOND QUARTER REVENUE
WIRELESS REVENUE UP 349% OVER SECOND QUARTER LAST YEAR
CHICAGO, IL - AUGUST 3, 2004 - PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a global leader in
simplifying mobility, today announced financial results for the second quarter
ended June 30, 2004. This was the fourth full quarter of operating results
following the company's sale of its legacy HSP modem product line to Conexant
(NASDAQ: CNXT) in May 2003 as part of PCTEL's well-established wireless
transition plan.
Total revenue was $11.5 million for the second quarter of 2004, including $10.1
million of wireless product revenue and $1.4 million of licensing revenue. This
compares to $10.2 million of revenue in the second quarter 2003, which included
$2.3 million of wireless revenue, $0.9 million of licensing revenue, and $7.0
million of HSP modem revenue. The increase in wireless revenue was primarily due
to the acquisition of MAXRAD in the first quarter 2004, wireless carrier
contract wins to date for the Company's Mobility Solutions software products,
and increased demand for its wireless test products through the RF Solutions
Group.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2004 was $(0.7) million, or $(0.03) per
diluted share, compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted
share reported in the second quarter of 2003. The second quarter last year
included a net gain on the HSP modem sale of $1.8 million, which was comprised
of a $4.3 million gain offset by $2.5 million of related restructuring cost.
"We continue to deliver what we promised to the industry and our stockholders:
products that simplify mobility and predictable financial performance," said
Marty Singer, PCTEL's Chairman and CEO. "In the second quarter, we launched new
connectivity tools with T-Mobile and GoRemote; penetrated new markets with our
CLARIFY(TM) Interference Management System and our UMTS scanners; and expanded
our portfolio of WiFi and broadband antennas. PCTEL continues to build upon the
three new business platforms that we acquired over the past two years. Going
forward, we expect to begin to realize the benefits from our efforts in
integrating our sales and marketing across our three product groups," added
Singer.
Cash and short-term investments on June 30, 2004 were $103.6 million, a decrease
of $3.8 million from the first quarter of 2004. The decrease is primarily
attributed to increases in working capital and the stock buyback program. As of
June 30, 2004, the company has repurchased 1.71 million out of the 2.5 million
shares authorized by the Board of Directors under its share buyback program. The
company repurchased 170,300 of its shares during the quarter just ended.
