Smith Micro Reports 2017 First Quarter Financial Results

ALISO VIEJO, CA, May 3, 2017 – Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI), today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

“We have essentially completed the execution of Smith Micro’s restructuring plan, implemented over the past two quarters, to achieve a reduction of costs, improve utilization of our total resources, and streamline our management and business processes,” said William W. Smith, Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro Software. “With our progress on these strategic efforts, we are excited and remain confident about maximizing the opportunities we continue to see ahead, particularly with our SafePath and QuickLink IoT Services (formerly known as NetWise DM/FOTA) Platforms.”

Fiscal First Quarter 2017 Financial Results:

Smith Micro Software reported revenue of $5.6 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to $7.2 million reported in the first quarter of 2016.

First quarter gross profit was $4.3 million, compared to $5.1 million reported in the first quarter of 2016.  

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 77.0 percent for the first quarter of 2017, compared to 70.7 percent for the same quarter last year.  

GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2017 was $2.2 million, or a loss of $0.18 per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $3.7 million, or $0.32 per share, for the first quarter of 2016.

Non-GAAP net loss (which excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, fair value adjustments, non-cash debt issuance and discount costs, and normalizes tax expense) for the first quarter of 2017 was $1.4 million, or $0.11 loss per share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $2.1 million,

or $0.18 per share, for the first quarter of 2016.

Total cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2017 were $2.5 million.

The Company uses a non-GAAP reconciliation of gross profit, income (loss) before taxes, net income (loss), and earnings (loss) per share in the presentation of financial results in this press release. Management believes that this presentation may be more meaningful in analyzing our income generation since stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, fair value adjustments, and non-cash debt issuance and discount costs are excluded from the non-GAAP earnings calculation and adjustments are made for Proforma taxes. Since we are in a cumulative loss position, the non-GAAP income tax expense (benefit) for the fiscal year 2017 was computed by using a tax rate of 38 percent using the Company’s normalized combined U.S. federal, state and foreign statutory tax rates less various tax adjustments. This presentation may be considered more indicative of our ongoing operational performance. The tables below present the differences between non-GAAP earnings and net loss on an absolute and per-share basis. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and the non-financial measures as reported by Smith Micro Software may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
