Total revenue for the quarter was $26.0 million, up 53% year-over-year. Net income for the quarter was $184,000 or $0.02 per diluted share, up 105% year-over-year. EBITDAS for the quarter was $1.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, up 145% year-over-year. The prior year results were negatively affected by overruns on a project with the Ford Motor Company.

Details on the Company’s financial results are as follows (in 000’s except per share amounts):

CEO Commentary on Business and Financial Results
Brian Crowley, chief executive officer of BSQUARE, commented on the current quarter results and business activity, “Overall, this was a solid quarter. We generated EBITDAS of $0.10 per share and made progress on a number of important business initiatives. The EBITDAS performance is in line with our previously communicated baseline run rate expectation when factoring in the planned investments we discussed last quarter. These investments include an expansion into Europe as a result of our recent agreement with Microsoft to begin selling Microsoft Embedded Products in Europe, additions to our Asia sales team, growth of our Handset Certification Platform support team in China in support of our first HCP customer and a marketing investment to refresh our brand and customer communications.”
Commentary on Quarterly Financial Results
| • | Growth in third-party software sales (up 57% year-over-year) was driven by a 32% increase in Microsoft General Embedded licensing sales primarily attributable to higher purchasing volumes from the Company’s larger customers, coupled with a 256% increase in Microsoft Windows Mobile licensing sales driven by an increase in customer count and average purchasing volumes. One general embedded licensing customer’s purchasing volume was up significantly this quarter and represented 8% of total revenue. |
| • | Engineering service revenue growth (up 47% year-over-year) was driven by growth in both North America and Asia. The North American growth benefited from one significant customer that generated $1.4 million in service revenue this quarter compared to none in the prior year. Ford-related service revenue of $2.3 million this quarter was flat year-over-year. |
| • | Proprietary software revenue grew 45% year-over-year due primarily to increased product support revenue. Texas Instruments OMAP and Qualcomm Snapdragon revenue also contributed to the growth. |
| • | Service margin increased 200% (48 percentage points) primarily because the year-ago quarter’s service revenue, and resulting margin, suffered significantly from overruns on the project with Ford. The project on which the overruns were incurred was completed in the third quarter of 2010 and the Company continues to work with Ford under a different arrangement. Further, the year-ago service margin was negatively affected by a loss contract accrual. |
| • | Opex increased 20% year-over-year due primarily to higher stock compensation expense, higher marketing program costs associated with the Company’s rebranding initiative, higher fringe benefits expense and increased facilities costs resulting from lower allocation to service cost of revenue. |
| • | Quarter-end cash and investments of $21.4 million, including long-term amounts, were up $5.6 million year-over-year but down $1.7 million compared to December 31, 2010. The primary driver of the decline from December was a back loading of sales in the quarter which caused accounts receivable to increase by $1.7 million and DSO to increase to 55 days compared to 47 in Q4. |
Outlook
The Company currently has the following expectations for Q2 compared to the current quarter:
| • | Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $25 million to $27 million. Third-party software revenue is expected to decline driven by lower purchasing volume from the general embedded licensing customer that contributed significantly to this quarter’s sales. Service revenue and |
| proprietary software revenue are expected to increase. The Company expects to recognize its first Handset Certification Platform revenue in Q2. |
| • | Total gross margin is expected to improve based on the shift in revenue mix toward the higher margin revenue components. |
| • | Profitability and EBITDAS are expected to improve. |
| • | Cash and investments are projected to increase by approximately $2.5 million. |

| (1) | EBITDAS is a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDAS is defined as net income (loss) before income taxes, interest income, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. EBITDAS should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (all as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance, financial position and cash flows, as EBITDAS is not defined by GAAP. However, the Company regards EBITDAS as a complement to net income and other GAAP financial performance measures, including an indirect measure of operating cash flow. |
