Irvine, CA – May 14, 2020 – Lantronix, Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRX), a global provider of secure data access and management solutions for the industrial Internet of Things (IoT), today reported results for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 that ended March 31, 2020.

 

Net revenue totaled $16.5 million, up 34% year over year and 25% sequentially.

 

GAAP EPS was ($0.19), compared to $0.04 in the year-ago quarter and ($0.06) in the prior quarter and included acquisition and severance related costs.

 

Non-GAAP EPS was $0.02, compared to $0.05 in the year-ago third quarter and $0.03 in the prior fiscal quarter.

 

Business Outlook

 

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, Lantronix expects net revenue and non-GAAP EPS growth on a sequential basis. Due to the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that may impact our supply chain, Lantronix is suspending more specific guidance.

 

“We are pleased with our execution in the extremely challenging COVID-19 environment. Despite significant supply chain and business disruption, we were able to achieve significant revenue growth, drive customer engagements and realize synergies,” said Paul Pickle, president and CEO of Lantronix. “Bolstered by quarter-to-date order strength and backlog in our IoT products and given that Covid-19 has focused the world including our customer base on the importance of connectivity, we expect to deliver sequential revenue and non-GAAP earnings growth in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.”

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. 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. 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.

 

Non-GAAP net income (loss) consists of net income (loss) excluding (i) share-based compensation and the employer portion of withholding taxes on stock grants, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) interest income (expense), (iv) other income (expense), (v) income tax provision (benefit), (vi) severance and restructuring charges, (vii) acquisition related costs, (viii) impairment of long-lived assets, (viiii) amortization of purchased intangibles, and (x) amortization of manufacturing profit in acquired inventory.

 

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.

 

Guidance on earnings per share growth is provided only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of certain items that have been excluded from the forward-looking non-GAAP measures, and a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP guidance has not been provided because certain factors that are materially significant to Lantronix’s ability to estimate the excluded items are not accessible or estimable on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort.
