Lantronix Reports Fiscal 2015 Second Quarter Financial Results

IRVINE, CA — (Marketwired) — 01/29/15 — Lantronix, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LTRX) a global provider of smart IoT (Internet of Things) solutions, today reported results for its fiscal 2015 second quarter ended December 31, 2014.

Net revenue of $10.7 million

Gross profit margin of 48.2%

GAAP net loss of $632,000 or $0.04 per share

Non-GAAP net loss of $99,000 or $0.01 per share

Cash and cash equivalents of $5.4 million as of December 31, 2014

“Revenue for the second fiscal quarter was down 2% year-over-year and 7% sequentially primarily as a result of delays in closing project-based opportunities,” said Kurt Busch, Lantronix president and CEO. “While we are disappointed with this quarter–s results, our continued progress in growing new product sales was instrumental in delivering net revenue growth of 2% for the six month period ended December 31, 2014. We believe that our year-to-date progress combined with our expanding engagements with Tier One accounts will enable us to achieve our fiscal 2015 goals.”

In October 2014, the Company launched the industry–s first modular console manager, the SLC 8000. Featuring a groundbreaking design that allows for deployment customization and scalability, the SLC 8000 is designed to help organizations reduce deployment and management costs by providing secure, centralized out-of-band management for most IT equipment.

In November 2014, Lantronix announced Python support for its PremierWave® family of intelligent gateways. Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that is rapidly becoming a standard for creating and deploying industrial IoT applications.

In December 2014, the Company announced that Torquing Group, a developer of autonomous intelligent nano unmanned aerial systems, had selected the Lantronix xPico® Wi-Fi module to provide secure and direct connectivity from its first consumer nano drone, the ZANO, to both iOS and Android devices.

In January 2015, the Company announced that Konica Minolta added Lantronix xPrintServer® Cloud Print edition mobile printing solution to its EnvisionIT portfolio of mobile solutions.

Net revenue was $10.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, a decrease of $233,000, compared with $11.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and a decrease of $801,000 compared with $11.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The sequential and year-over-year decrease in net revenue was primarily due to delays in closing project-based opportunities. Year-over-year results were partially offset by growth in our new products.

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 48.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with 49.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and 48.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was lower primarily due to changes in our product mix.

Operating expenses were $5.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with $5.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and $5.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

GAAP net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $632,000 or $0.04 per share, compared with GAAP net loss of $323,000 or $0.02 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and a GAAP net loss of $262,000 or $0.02 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $99,000 or $0.01 per share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $191,000 or $0.01 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and non-GAAP net income of $264,000 or $0.02 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

Lantronix believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information, when presented in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company–s financial condition and results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share are important measures of the Company–s business. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) consists of net income (loss) excluding (i) non-GAAP adjustments to operating expenses, (ii) interest income (expense), (iii) other income (expense), and (iv) income tax provision (benefit).

Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted). For purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, the calculation of GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted) is adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, which for GAAP purposes is treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.
