Lantronix Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2014 Financial Results
Irvine, Calif., October 31, 2013 – Lantronix, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LTRX), a global provider of smart networking and communications solutions for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, today reported results for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Financial Highlights:
| § | Net revenue of $10.9 million |

| § | GAAP net loss of $(267,000), or ($0.02) per share |
| § | Non-GAAP net income of $220,000, or $0.01 per share |
Operational and Product Highlights:
| § | In August 2013, the Company announced global availability of the xPico® Wi-Fi module, the latest addition to its new xPico product family. The xPico Wi-Fi is designed to enable the convergence of mobility with M2M systems and suitable for a wide range of applications - from small battery powered devices to large industrial installations. |
| § | In August 2013, the Company expanded its presence in Asia with the opening of a new office in Shanghai, China. |
| § | In August 2013, the Company’s award-winning xPrintServer® product family became available on JD.com, one of China’s largest B2C ecommerce companies. |
| § | In August 2013, Lantronix was the official mobile print sponsor of MacWorld/iWorld Asia 2013. |
| § | In September 2013, the Company launched PremierWave® XC HSPA+, a high speed cellular intelligent gateway and application server. The latest addition to Lantronix’ PremierWave product family, PremierWave XC HSPA+ utilizes 3.5G cellular technology and delivers mobile M2M connectivity to devices and equipment previously unable to connect through wired or WiFi solutions. |
| § | In September 2013, Lantronix announced a marketing and sales partnership with Wyless, a global M2M wireless connectivity solution provider, to provide customers with a bundled 3.5G wireless solution. Currently offered in the U.S. with Lantronix PremierWave® XC HSPA+, the Lantronix-Wyless bundle provides everything a customer needs to quickly connect, develop, deploy and use M2M applications on secure mobile data networks. |
“In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, sales of our Enterprise Solutions grew, primarily due to ongoing efforts to expand our sales channels. This partially offset the decline in sales for some of our mature OEM Modules, which resulted in a decrease in overall revenue,” said Lantronix CEO Kurt Busch. “In addition, through our continued fiscal and operational discipline, we achieved non-GAAP net income.”
“With the opportunities being created by new products and ongoing expansion of our sales channels, we continue to expect new product sales to outpace the decline of mature products,” Busch added.

Financial Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2014
Net revenue was $10.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, a decrease of $319,000 compared to $11.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and a decrease of $244,000 compared to $11.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The year-over-year and sequential decline in net revenue was primarily due to a decrease in unit sales of the OEM Module product line that was partially offset by growth in the Enterprise Solutions product line.
Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 49.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to 48.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and 44.7% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
Operating expenses were $5.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, a decrease of $248,000, compared to $5.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and a decrease of $446,000, compared to $6.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 included severance charges of $208,000.
GAAP net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $(267,000), or ($0.02) per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $(430,000), or ($0.03) per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and a GAAP net loss of $(1.1) million, or ($0.08) per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Lantronix believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information, when presented in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management believes that non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share are important measures of the Company’s business. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance.
Non-GAAP operating expenses consist of operating expenses excluding (i) share-based compensation and related payroll taxes and (ii) depreciation and amortization.
Non-GAAP net income (loss) consists of net income (loss) excluding (i) non-GAAP adjustments to operating expenses, (ii) interest income (expense), (iii) other income (expense), and (iv) income tax provision (benefit).
Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted). For purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, the calculation of GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted) is adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, which for GAAP purposes is treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.
