Airgain Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results;

GAAP EPS of $0.07; Announces Jacob Suen Appointed as CEO

 

San Diego, CA, August 8, 2019 – Airgain, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRG), a leading provider of advanced antenna technologies used to enable high performance wireless networking across a broad range of devices and markets, including consumer, enterprise, and automotive, today announced sales of $14.5 million for the second quarter 2019 and GAAP net income of $0.7 million or GAAP diluted EPS of $0.07.

 

Airgain also announced that the Board of Directors has appointed Jacob Suen as the company’s Chief Executive Officer, effective today. Mr. Suen will assume day-to-day leadership of the company and will also join Airgain’s Board of Directors, as well as retaining his position as President. Mr. Suen succeeds Jim Sims, who will retain his role as the Chairman of the Board.

 

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Highlights

 

 

Sales of $14.5 million

 

Gross margin of 46%

 

Net income of $0.66 million

 

GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.07

 

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.12

 

Adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million

 

“We are very pleased with our second quarter 2019 results with GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.07 and $0.12, respectively, well ahead of our prior expectations of $(0.05)-$(0.03) on a GAAP basis and $(0.01)-$0.01 on a non-GAAP basis,” said Airgain’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jim Sims. “Our efforts over the past several quarters around operational and manufacturing efficiencies culminated in gross margins of 46%, an improvement of 130 basis points from the prior quarter. Additionally, we continue to be engaged with several customers for their next generation product launches across the consumer, enterprise, and automotive markets for a variety of technologies that include 5G and next generation Wi-Fi.”

 

“On the demand environment, the ongoing tension on global trade and macroeconomic trends are impacting the whole supply chain to varying degrees. These macro trends, combined with customer-specific factors, have resulted in continued uncertainty and customers taking longer than expected to return to their normalized demand patterns. The uncertainty has resulted in our third quarter guidance to be down on a sequential basis. As our customers ramp shipment of their products, we  expect the company to bounce back stronger.”

 

“I am also pleased to announce the appointment of Jacob Suen as the Chief Executive Officer. Jacob has been with the company for over 13 years in various management roles, the latest being the President of the company. Jacob has been an effective leader and has been instrumental in the company’s success over the years. I am confident that under his leadership the company will continue growing and maintaining its unique position across the industry. After 15 months in the CEO role, I look forward to continuing to support the company as the Chairman of the Board.”

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

 

Sales decreased slightly to $14.5 million compared to $15.0 million in the same year-ago period. The decrease in sales was primarily driven by a slower than anticipated ramp up in new and existing programs.

 

Gross profit increased 1.3% to $6.7 million from $6.6 million in the same year-ago period. Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 46% in the second quarter of 2019, which increased from 44% in the same year-ago period, largely due to efficiency improvements on the manufacturing front along with favorable product and pricing mix.

 

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2019 decreased 40% to $6.2 million from $10.3 million in the same year-ago period. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in personnel and marketing related expenses, including $2.0 million in executive severance and sales and marketing realignment in the prior year period.

 

Net income totaled $0.7 million or $0.07 per diluted share (based on 10.1 million shares), compared to net loss of $3.2 million or ($0.34) per diluted share (based on 9.4 million shares) in the same year-ago period. Non-GAAP net income totaled $1.2 million or $0.12 per diluted share (based on 10.1 million shares), compared to non-GAAP net income of $0.2 million or $0.02 per diluted share (based on 9.9 million shares) in the same year-ago period (see note regarding "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures," below for further discussion of this non-GAAP measure).

 

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, other income, non-recurring items, and stock-based compensation) increased to $1.3 million from Adjusted EBITDA of $0.4 million in the same year-ago period (see note regarding "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures," below for further discussion of this non- GAAP measure).

 

Financial Outlook

 

The Company expects sales in the 2019 third quarter to be in the range of $12 million to $14 million. The following table summarizes the reconciliation between the projected GAAP EPS and non-GAAP EPS for the 2019 third quarter:

Forward-Looking Statements

Airgain cautions you that statements in this press release that are not a description of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the company's current beliefs and expectations. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the effects of global trade and macroeconomic and customer-specific factors on our business and customer demand in the short and long term, our ability to maintain and grow our industry position, the potential to win new customer product launch engagements, and our third quarter financial outlook. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by Airgain that any of our plans will be achieved. Actual results may differ from those set forth in this press release due to the risk and uncertainties inherent in our business, including, without

limitation: the market for our antenna products is developing and may not develop as we expect; our operating results may fluctuate significantly, including based on seasonal factors and changing and volatile U.S., European, Asian and global economic environments, which makes future operating results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below expectations or guidance; risks and uncertainties related to management and key personnel changes, including the appointment of a new CEO; our products are subject to intense competition, including competition from the customers to whom we sell, and competitive pressures from existing and new companies may harm our business, sales, growth rates and market share; our future success depends on our ability to develop and successfully introduce new and enhanced products for the wireless market that meet the needs of our customers; our ability to identify and consummate strategic acquisitions and partnerships, and risks associated with completed acquisitions and partnerships adversely affecting our operating results and financial condition; we sell to customers who are extremely price conscious, and a few customers represent a significant portion of our sales, and if we lose any of these customers, our sales could decrease significantly; we rely on a few contract manufacturers to produce and ship all of our products, a single or limited number of suppliers for some components of our products and channel partners to sell and support our products, and the failure to manage our relationships with these parties successfully could adversely affect our ability to market and sell our products; if we cannot protect our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be harmed or we could incur significant expenses to enforce our rights; and other risks described in our prior press releases and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent filings with the SEC. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to revise or update this press release to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement, which is made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

 

 

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release and the accompanying tables and the related earnings conference call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share (non-GAAP EPS). We believe these financial measures provide useful information to investors with which to analyze our operating trends and performance.

 

In computing Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP EPS, we also exclude stock-based compensation expense, which represents non-cash charges for the fair value of stock options and other non-cash awards granted to employees, non-recurring expenses, other income, which includes interest income offset by interest expense, depreciation, amortization and provision for income taxes. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company's non-cash operating expenses, we believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude non-cash expense allows for meaningful comparisons between our core business operating results and those of other companies, as well as providing us with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating our own core business operating results over different periods of time.

 

Our Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP EPS measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as

4

3611 Valley Centre Drive, Suite 150

San Diego, CA 92130 USA

+1 760 579 0200


Exhibit 99.1

 

 

other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. Our Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP Net income (loss), and non-GAAP EPS are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating or net income or as an indication of operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. We do not consider these non-GAAP measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of specific adjustments to GAAP results is provided in the last two tables at the end of this release.
