CHICAGO, IL USA—Telular Corporation (NASDAQ: WRLS), a global leader in helping businesses use wireless networks for remote monitoring and tracking, today announced financial results for the third fiscal quarter of 2012 ended June 30, 2012. In its fiscal third quarter of 2012, Telular reported revenue of $22.9 million, including $13.3 million from recurring services, and pre-tax income of $2.4 million.
Third quarter 2012 Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $5.0 million. For further information, see the reconciliation of these measures to net income in accordance with GAAP on the last page of this press release.
Total revenue from the Telguard and TankLink lines of business, representing all of the M2M revenue within the Event Monitoring Segment, increased 14% over the prior year period to $14.0 million.
Total Telguard revenue was up 14% year-over-year to $12.0 million. During the quarter, Telular sold approximately 32,100 Telguard units and activated 31,100 new Telguard subscribers. The total number of Telguard subscribers increased sequentially to 592,300 while average revenue per unit, or ARPU, increased sequentially to $4.37 for the quarter.
Total TankLink revenue increased 11% over the prior year period to $2.0 million, including service revenue of $1.0 million.
Total revenue from the SkyBitz line of business, representing all of the Asset Tracking segment revenue, was $8.7 million, including product revenue of $4.2 million and recurring service revenue of $4.5 million.
Adjusted EBITDA for Event Monitoring and Asset Tracking was $4.7 million and $1.2 million respectively, excluding corporate expenses of $900,000.
For both segments combined, Telular ended the period with approximately 809,000 billable units realizing an ARPU of $5.52. The average selling price, or ASP, for the 46,500 monitoring and tracking hardware units sold during the third fiscal quarter was $189.
“We are pleased with the growth and profitability we delivered in the third quarter from our three business lines - Telguard, SkyBitz, and TankLink,” commented Joe Beatty, president and chief executive officer of Telular Corporation. “During the quarter, we grew our event monitoring revenues 14% over the prior year period and achieved the upper half of our Telguard unit sales guidance as we saw increased demand for our new Telguard products for 3G/4G networks. We are focused on accelerating the growth and cash flow generation of our business to further enhance shareholder value,” concluded Mr. Beatty.
“Due to our strong results to date and high visibility in our recurring revenue model, we are increasing our guidance for fiscal year 2012 Adjusted EBITDA to $17.0 - $17.5 million, while maintaining the range of our Telguard unit guidance of 25,000 to 35,000 per quarter. We are excited about the strength of our service offerings and selling strategy and remain optimistic about our long-term growth and profitability.”
Telular declared a quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share on its common stock, payable August 21, 2012, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 14, 2012. During the third quarter, the Company paid shareholders a dividend totaling $1.9 million and ended the quarter with $11.1 million of cash on the balance sheet.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. While we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, is useful within the context described above, it is in fact incomplete and not a measure that should be used to evaluate the full performance of Telular Corporation. Such evaluation needs to consider all of the complexities associated with our business, including, but not limited to, how past actions are affecting current results and how they may affect future results, how we have chosen to finance the business and how regulations and other aforementioned items affect the final amounts that are or will be available to shareholders as a return on their investment. Net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP is the most complete measure available today to evaluate all elements of our performance.
