PT Announces First Quarter 2013

Financial Results

 

 

ROCHESTER, NY – May 2, 2013 – PT (NASDAQ: PTIX), a leading global provider of advanced network communications solutions, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter 2013.

 

Revenue in the first quarter 2013 amounted to $6.3 million, compared to $8.4 million in the first quarter 2012.

 

On the basis of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the net loss in the first quarter 2013 amounted to ($.9 million), or ($.08) per basic share, based on 11.1 million shares outstanding, including restructuring costs of $.02 per share, amortization of purchased intangible assets of $.02 per share and stock-based compensation expense of $.01 per share. GAAP net income in the first quarter 2012 amounted to $.3 million, or $.03 per diluted share, based on 11.1 million shares outstanding, including stock compensation expense of $.01 per share and amortization of purchased intangible assets of $.03 per share.

 

The non-GAAP net loss in the first quarter 2013 amounted to ($.3 million), or ($.03) per basic share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $.6 million, or $.06 per diluted share in the first quarter 2012. Please refer to the reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures contained in this release.

 

On March 31, 2013, the Company had cash and investments amounting to $12.5 million, working capital of $16.5 million and no long-term debt.

 

“While we are pleased with our 19% sequential quarterly revenue growth and improvement in our working capital position, our objective firmly remains on driving to bottom line profitability,” said John Slusser, president and chief executive officer. “As we execute our refined business strategy announced in January, we continue to make meaningful progress in our key 2013 initiative - advancement of our SEGway Universal Diameter Router product line. During the quarter, we added new Diameter Routing capabilities and features, responded to several major Diameter RFIs/RFPs, quoted over a dozen Diameter opportunities and recognized our first Diameter revenues. We remain very enthusiastic about the opportunities in the Diameter Signaling space, recently further highlighted by the very positive feedback we received on our Signaling Evolution strategy during our participation at the Mobile World Congress, the CCA Global Expo and the Latin America LTE Summit. We expect to increase our sales and marketing investments in our Diameter product line to accelerate its penetration in this growing market.”

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for certain forward-looking statements. This press release contains forward-looking statements which reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the safe harbor provisions of those Sections. The Company’s future operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties and could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements and may be affected by various trends and factors which are beyond the Company’s control. These risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, business and economic conditions, rapid technological changes accompanied by frequent new product introductions, competitive pressures, dependence on key customers and the potential loss of key customers, inability to gauge order flows from customers, fluctuations in quarterly and annual results, the reliance on a limited number of third party suppliers, limitations of PT’s manufacturing capacity and arrangements, the protection of PT’s proprietary technology, errors or defects in our products, the effects of pending or threatened litigation, the dependence on key personnel, changes in critical accounting estimates, potential impairments related to investments, foreign regulations, possible loss or significant curtailment of significant government contracts or subcontracts, possible effects related to compliance with new conflict-free mineral regulations, potential material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, and the potential ramifications of our possible inability to comply with NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements. In addition, during weak or uncertain economic periods, customers’ visibility deteriorates causing delays in the placement of their orders. These factors often result in a substantial portion of PT’s revenue being derived from orders placed within a quarter and shipped in the final month of the same quarter. Forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent audited Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes thereto, Risk Factors, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company, as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

As a supplement to the GAAP-based consolidated financial statements contained in this press release, the Company is providing a presentation of non-GAAP financial measures which can be useful to investors to gain an overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance. Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors by excluding certain expenses the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain expenses such as the effects of (a) amortization of purchased intangible assets, (b) stock-based compensation costs, and (c) restructuring costs.

 

 
 

Management utilizes a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, in making operating decisions and forecasting and planning for future periods. We also consider the use of the non-GAAP financial measures to be helpful in assessing various aspects of our business operations.

 

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered a substitute for the corresponding GAAP financial information and should not be considered in isolation from measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial information.

 

A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures is included herein.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(unaudited)

   2013  2012

 

Gross Profit Reconciliation

          
   GAAP gross profit  $2,829,000   $4,559,000 
Amortization of purchased intangible assets(a)   234,000    279,000 
Stock-based compensation(b)   5,000    3,000 
Non-GAAP gross profit   3,068,000    4,841,000 
Non-GAAP gross profit percentage of sales   48.8%   57.9%
           
Operating Expense Reconciliation          
   GAAP operating expense   3,668,000    4,261,000 
Stock-based compensation (b)   (52,000)   (64,000)
Restructuring costs(c)   (243,000)     
Non-GAAP operating expenses   3,373,000    4,197,000 
           
Net (Loss) Income Reconciliation          
   GAAP net (loss) income   (866,000)   289,000 
   Amortization of purchased intangible assets(a)   234,000    279,000 
Stock-based compensation (b)   57,000    67,000 
Restructuring costs(c)   243,000      
Non-GAAP net (loss) income  $(332,000)  $635,000 
           
Net (Loss) Income per Common Share          
  GAAP basic and diluted(d) net (loss) income per share  $(0.08)  $0.03 
  Non-GAAP basic and diluted(d) net (loss) income per share  $(0.03)  $0.06 

 

The Non-GAAP measures above, and the reconciliation to our GAAP results for the periods presented, reflect adjustments relating to the following items:


(a) Amortization of purchased intangible assets - a non-cash expense arising from the acquisition of intangible assets that the Company is required to amortize over their expected useful life. The amount of purchased intangible assets increased significantly as a result of the acquisition of the USP and SP2000 signaling technologies acquired from GENBAND.

 

(b) Stock-based compensation costs - a non-cash expense incurred in accordance with share-based compensation accounting guidance.

 

(c) Restructuring costs - costs incurred as a result of restructuring activities taken to bring operating expenses more in line with expected revenues.

 

(d) Basic and diluted net income per common share are identical for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
