Westell Technologies Reports Fourth Quarter and Annual Results
 
Fourth quarter revenue for the Westell Division of $10.7 million represented the strongest quarter since March 2012
Revenue from custom systems integration services reached record levels, and the outlook for new products continues to improve
Cash and short-term investments were $115.1 million at March 31, 2013
The Kentrox acquisition was successfully completed on April 1, 2013
AURORA, IL, May 22, 2013 – Westell Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSTL), a leading provider of telecommunications equipment for wireline and wireless networks, today announced results for its fiscal fourth quarter and year ended March 31, 2013. Consolidated revenue from continuing operations was $10.7 million for the quarter and $40.0 million for the year. The net loss was $38.2 million for the quarter, equal to $0.66 per diluted share, and $44.0 million for fiscal 2013, equal to $0.73 per share.
The major contributor to the loss for the quarter and year was $36.9 million of non-cash expense recorded in the fourth quarter to fully reserve deferred tax assets and to record impairment of goodwill. Without such non-operating items, the non-GAAP net loss was $1.3 million for the quarter, equal to $0.02 per share, and a non-GAAP net loss of $6.2 million for the year, equal to $0.10 per share.

New Products Improve Outlook
“Custom systems integration -- a cornerstone for our growth strategy -- produced its best quarter ever, with revenues up more than 300% from a year ago,” said Chairman and CEO Rick Gilbert. “Some expected fourth-quarter revenue from distributed antenna system (DAS) panels was delayed. However, sales of Tower-Mounted





Amplifiers accelerated as expected, and we experienced a sharp increase in new product sales during April, putting them on track to double the strong results they posted in our third quarter. This, coupled with a great start by Kentrox, should translate into a solid first quarter.”

Consolidated Results Reflect the Wind-Down of Non-Core Business, and Non-Cash Items
Consolidated revenue from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $10.7 million, compared to $11.3 million in the prior-year period. The decrease reflected the planned wind-down of the Customer Networking Solutions (CNS) Division.
The consolidated net loss for the fourth quarter was $38.2 million, equal to $0.66 per share, compared to net loss of $2.4 million, equal to $0.04 per share, in the same quarter last year. The latest year's loss included a $34.0 million non-cash expense to increase valuation allowance to fully reserve deferred tax assets. It also included a $2.9 million non-cash charge for impairment of goodwill. These two charges are driven primarily by recent losses in the Westell Division. Adjusting for these charges and other items as shown in the attached financial tables, non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter was $1.3 million, equal to $0.02 per share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $0.7 million, equal to $0.01 per share, in the same quarter a year ago.
For the fiscal year, consolidated revenue from continuing operations was $40.0 million, compared to $69.7 million in the prior year. The decrease reflected the wind-down of CNS sales and lower revenues from legacy products in the Westell Division. The net loss for fiscal 2013 was $44.0 million, equal to $0.73 per share, compared to net income of $42.0 million, equal to $0.62 per share, in the prior year.
The most recent year's loss included the non-cash charges discussed above. Prior-year net income included after-tax gains of $18.8 million and $20.5 million from the CNS and ConferencePlus sale transactions, respectively. On a non-GAAP basis – excluding the effects of the items noted above, the impact of discontinued operations, and restructuring charges – the net loss for fiscal 2013 was $6.2 million, equal to $0.10 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $2.6 million, or $0.04 per share, in the prior year.
Westell Division Benefits from New and Traditional Product Sales
Fourth quarter revenue for the Westell Division, while unchanged from the prior-year's $10.7 million, rose 20.2% over the fiscal 2013 third quarter. Revenues from Custom Systems Integration and Tower Mounted Amplifiers were particularly strong. Gross margin was 37.6%, down slightly from last year's fourth quarter. Gross margin continues to reflect the reduced absorption of fixed costs on lower revenues, and the higher costs of producing new products during their introductory periods. Operating expenses were $7.7 million, up $3.9 million from the





prior-year's quarter, reflecting the $2.9 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, higher cost allocations, and increased costs for developing new products and supporting their sales. As a result, the division reported a fourth quarter operating loss of $3.7 million, compared to operating income of $0.3 million in the same period a year ago.
Since the CNS Division is winding down, CNS had no material revenue in the latest quarter versus $0.6 million in the same period during fiscal 2012. CNS operating expenses in the most recent period declined to $0.4 million, due to lower project expenditures following the limited product release for HomecloudTM on September 26, 2012.
Kentrox to Bolster Results in New Fiscal Year
On April 1, 2013, the Company acquired Kentrox, Inc. for $30.0 million in cash, subject to an adjustment for working capital. Kentrox is a worldwide leader in intelligent site management solutions, providing comprehensive monitoring, management and control of a broad range of equipment. Kentrox offers a suite of Remote monitoring and control devices which, when combined with its Optima management system, provide a comprehensive, bi-directional solution. The machine-to-machine (M2M) communications Kentrox provides enable service providers, tower operators, and other network operators to reduce operating costs while improving network performance. The Company expects to operate Kentrox as a separate division during fiscal year 2014.

(1)
The Company recorded a non-cash charge of $2.9 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 to record the impairment of the full carrying value of the Company's goodwill. Based on financial market considerations, a history of recent losses and other factors, the Company's goodwill did not pass a two-step goodwill impairment valuation test, resulting in the impairment charge.
(2)
The Company sold certain assets and transferred certain liabilities of the CNS segment to NETGEAR, Inc. on April 15, 2011.
(3)
In fiscal year 2013, the Company considered both the positive and negative evidence available to assess its ability to realize the value of its deferred tax assets. The Company considered negative factors, which include recent losses and a forecasted cumulative loss position, as well as positive evidence consisting primarily of projected future earnings. The Company concluded that the negative evidence outweighed the objectively verifiable positive evidence. As a consequence, the Company increased the valuation allowance reserve and tax expense by $34.0 million. This reserve, taken together with the tax contingency reserve, has the effect of reserving in full all of the Company's deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2013.
(4)
The Company sold ConferencePlus on December 31, 2011. The 12 months ended March 31, 2012, included a $20.5 million after-tax gain. In the 12 months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded an after-tax charge of $0.8 million for an indemnification claim related to the ConferencePlus sale transaction and an unrelated tax benefit of $0.3 million that resulted from finalizing income tax filings related to the sale.

The Company conforms to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the preparation of its financial statements. This schedule reconciles the company's GAAP net income to adjusted net income on a non-GAAP basis. Management believes that these non-GAAP results provide meaningful supplemental information to investors, indicate the Company's core performance, and facilitate comparison of results across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results. Non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's GAAP results.
 
(1)
On April 15, 2011, the Company sold certain assets and transferred certain liabilities of the CNS segment. The adjustments remove the gain on the sale, costs associated with the transaction, and related income tax effects. Fiscal year 2013 amounts reflect the costs to resolve a dispute related to the CNS sale.
(2)
Adjustment removes tax effects of changes in valuation allowance reserves.
(3)
The Company recorded a non-cash charge of $2.9 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 to record the impairment of the full carrying value of the Company's goodwill.
(4)
On December 31, 2011, the ConferencePlus Division was sold. In the 12 months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded an after-tax charge of $0.8 million for an indemnification claim related to the ConferencePlus sale transaction, and an unrelated tax benefit of $0.3 million that resulted from finalizing income tax filings related to the sale. Historical results of operations of ConferencePlus are presented as discontinued operations.
