* Please refer to the reconciliation tables later in this earnings release for additional information.

“I’m extremely pleased with the Digi team’s execution and resulting strong financial performance in the third fiscal quarter,” said Joe Dunsmore, Digi’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our revenue momentum continues to be robust with 14.9% growth compared to the year ago quarter. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as a percent of revenue grew to 14.8% in the third fiscal quarter of 2011, increasing from 11.8% of revenue in the second fiscal quarter of 2011. These results demonstrate additional progress in improving these two key metrics. I anticipate a continued strong performance in the fourth quarter as we finish fiscal 2011.”

Business Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

Revenue from wireless products in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $22.5 million, or 41.5% of net sales, compared to $18.9 million, or 40.0% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of $3.6 million, or 19.2%. Revenue from wired products was $31.8 million, or 58.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal

2011 compared to $28.3 million, or 60.0% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of $3.5 million, or 12.0%. Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were favorably impacted by foreign currency translation of $0.7 million when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Revenue in North America was $32.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $28.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of $3.8 million or 13.2%. Revenue in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) was $13.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $11.6 million in the comparable quarter a year ago, an increase of $1.4 million, or 11.9 %. Revenue in the Asia Pacific region was $6.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $5.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of $1.0 million or 16.8%. Latin American revenue was $2.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $1.2 million in the comparable quarter a year ago, an increase of $0.9 million or 74.3%.

Gross profit was $28.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $23.7 million in the same period of the prior year, an increase of $5.1 million or 21.2%. The gross margin was 53.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 50.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of 2.8 percentage points. The gross margin was higher in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 than in the comparable period a year ago primarily due to favorable product mix, product cost reductions, and reduced amortization of purchased and core technology.

Total operating expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were $22.6 million, or 41.6% of revenue, compared to $21.2 million, or 44.8% of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in operating expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same quarter of the prior year primarily is due to increased investment in the iDigi® platform and the full reinstatement for fiscal 2011 of the incentive compensation program which had been only partially reinstated in fiscal 2010.

Digi reported operating income of $6.2 million, or 11.4% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $2.5 million, or 5.4% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of $3.7 million or 142.3%.

Net income was $3.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $3.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 benefited by $2.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share from the reversal of tax reserves associated with the conclusion of an audit of prior tax years and the statutory closing of a prior tax year. Net income in that same quarter also decreased by $0.7 million, net of taxes, or $0.03 per diluted share as a result of expenses incurred in connection with the internal investigation described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the prior fiscal year. Please refer to the table reconciling net income and net income per diluted share to non-GAAP net income and net income per diluted share which is provided later in this earnings release.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions. These statements often can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “expect,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or similar terminology. Among other items, these statements relate to expectations of the business environment in which the company operates, projections of future performance, perceived marketplace opportunities and statements regarding our mission and vision. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including risks related to the highly competitive market in which our company operates, rapid changes in technologies that may displace products sold by us, declining prices of networking products, our reliance on distributors and other third parties to sell our products, delays in product development efforts, uncertainty in consumer acceptance of our products, potential liabilities that can arise if any of our products have design or manufacturing defects, our ability to defend or settle satisfactorily any litigation, uncertainty in global economic conditions which could negatively affect product demand and the financial solvency of customers and suppliers, the impact of natural disasters and other events beyond our control such as the earthquake and tsunami in Japan that could negatively impact our supply chain and customers, the ability to achieve the anticipated benefits and synergies associated with acquisitions, and changes in our level of revenue or profitability which can fluctuate for many reasons beyond our control. These and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions identified from time to time in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation, our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010 and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings, could cause the company’s future results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Many of such factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date for which they are made. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes historical non-GAAP operating income, net income and net income per diluted share data, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

Digi understands that there are material limitations on the use of non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for GAAP measures, such as operating income or net income, for the purpose of analyzing financial performance. The disclosure of these measures does not reflect all charges and gains that were actually recognized by the company. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative


Digi International Reports Third Fiscal Quarter 2011 Results

 

for measures prepared in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Digi believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Additionally, Digi understands that EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, the cash requirements for the replacement of depreciated and amortized assets, or changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs.

Digi believes that providing historical and projected operating income, net income and net income per diluted share exclusive of the investigation expenses, change in estimate of restructuring expenses and reversals of tax reserves and discrete tax benefits permits investors to compare results with prior periods that did not include these items. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of the comparative operating performance of Digi. In addition, certain Digi shareholders have expressed an interest in seeing financial performance measures exclusive of the impact of matters such as the investigation expenses and the impact of decisions relating to taxes and restructuring, which while important, are not central to the core operations of Digi’s business. Additionally, management believes that the presentation of EBITDA as a percentage of net sales is useful to investors because it provides a reliable and consistent approach to measuring our performance from year to year and in assessing Digi’s performance against that of other companies. Management believes that such information helps investors compare operating results and corporate performance exclusive of the impact of Digi’s capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. EBTDA, a variant of EBITDA, is also used by management as a metric for executive compensation, as well as incentive compensation for the rest of the employee base, and it is monitored quarterly for these purposes.
