Q3 Financial Summary

Revenue in the third quarter of 2020 totaled $13.0 million, up 12% from $11.6 million in the previous quarter and lower by 13% compared to $14.9 million in the same year-ago quarter. The sequential improvement in the third quarter of 2020 was due to increased military related sales. The decrease compared to the year-ago quarter was primarily due to the company’s media and entertainment business being lower by approximately $1.8 million because of issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This industry is expected to be impacted well into 2021.

In the third quarter of 2020, OSS core business contributed $9.0 million of revenue as compared to $9.7 million of revenue in the same year-ago period. The company’s Bressner subsidiary contributed $4.0 million of revenue in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease compared to $5.2 million of revenue in the same year-ago quarter.

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2020 was $4.9 million or 37.8% of revenue, representing an improvement in gross margin percentage compared to $5.0 million or 33.7% of revenue in the same year-ago quarter.

Gross margin for the company’s core OSS business increased to 44.6% in the third quarter of 2020 from 39.0% in the same year-ago quarter, which was attributed to higher margin military sales combined with a decrease of the lower margin media and entertainment business. Bressner’s gross margin decreased to 22.5% in the third quarter of 2020, as compared to 23.7% in the same year-ago quarter.

Operating expenses in Q3 decreased 15% to $3.9 million compared to $4.6 million in the same year-ago quarter. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue improved to 30.2% in Q3 2020 versus 30.9% in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily due to the cost reduction initiative the company began in April, when it reduced its workforce and new cost containment efforts were implemented.

Net income on a GAAP basis totaled $858,000 or $0.05 per share in Q3 2020 compared to a net income of $545,000 or $0.03 per share in the year-ago period.

Non-GAAP net income increased to $1.2 million or $0.07 per share in Q3, as compared to $901,000 or $0.05 per diluted share in the same year-ago period.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP term, improved to $1.6 million in Q3, as compared to $1.0 million in the same year-ago period.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $5.5 million as of September 30, 2020, as compared to $4.7 million at June 30, 2020. The company believes its cash position and other available funds provide it with sufficient liquidity to meet its cash requirements for current operations.

First Nine Month of 2020 Financial Summary

For the first nine months of 2020, revenue was $38.0 million, a decrease of 5% from $39.9 million in the same year-ago period. The decrease was primarily due to $3.8 million in lower revenue from a media and entertainment customer, which was attributed to COVID-related issues. This decrease was partially offset by growth of new business from the U.S. Navy, autonomous vehicles customers, and PCIe-Gen 4 test equipment suppliers, which totaled $5.9 million.

OSS core business contributed revenue of $24.7 million in the first nine months of 2020, a decrease of 6% from $26.2 million in the same year-ago period. Bressner contributed revenue of $13.2 million, down from $13.7 million in the same year-ago period.

Gross profit was $11.6 million or 30.6% of revenue in the first nine months of 2020, compared to $12.9 million or 32.2% of revenue in the same year-ago period.

Gross margin for the company’s core OSS business declined to 35.7% in the first nine months of 2020 from 37.2% in the same year-ago period, which was attributable to the reduction of sales and change in product mix as compared to the same year-ago period. Bressner’s gross margin decreased to 21.1% in the first nine months of 2020, as compared to 22.8% in the same year-ago period.

Operating expenses decreased 19% to $12.6 million in first nine months of 2020 from $15.4 million in the same year-ago period. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue improved to 33.1% versus 38.7% in the year-ago period. On a pro forma basis, after adjusting for the prior year nine months goodwill impairment charge of $1.7 million, operating expenses decreased 8.6% to $12.3 million as compared to the same prior year period. This lower expense level reflects the $2.5 million to $3.0 million in anticipated annual savings resulting from the expense reduction program.

Net loss on a GAAP basis totaled $250,000 or $(0.02) per share in the first nine-month period of 2020, as compared to a loss of $2.0 million or $(0.13) per share in the first nine months of 2019. On a proforma basis, after giving effect to the goodwill impairment charge in the prior year, the change in net loss was relatively flat versus the prior year.

Non-GAAP net income totaled $773,000 or $0.05 per share, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.0 million or $0.06 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP term, was $682,000 in the first nine months of 2020, as compared to $881,000 in the same year-ago period.

Management Commentary

“In Q3, we exceeded our minimum revenue guidance of $11.8 million, coming in at $13 million,” said OSS president and CEO, David Raun. “We also strengthened our gross margins to 37.8%, compared to 28.6% in the previous quarter and 33.7% in the same year-ago quarter. This helped drive net income up 57% to $858,000 or $0.05 per share.

“During the third quarter, we also further improved efficiency and strengthened our operations for both the near and long term. So far this year we have reduced operating expenses by more than $1.2 million and we remain on track for our targeted $2.5 million to $3 million in reduced costs on an annual basis.

“On the new product front, we recently expanded our PCI Express Gen 4 product line with the 4U Pro, a professional expansion platform that delivers twice the high-performance edge computing performance of our popular Gen 3 products. For this industry-leading solution, we are seeing strong customer interest from industry leaders in instrumentation, measurement, factory automation, automotive, military and other edge computing markets. One of our first shipments of the 4U Pro will be for the world’s largest composable high-performance computer being developed by one of our customers for the U.S. Army.

“Such new product introductions have helped our opportunity pipeline to continue to grow. During the quarter, we closed four additional major opportunities, including industrial, medical and two new military programs in edge computing. This brings the total to 13 program wins so far this year, compared to 14 wins this time last year despite the headwinds of the pandemic.

“While this quarter continued to be challenging for OSS and many of our customers, we made significant progress in multiple areas that positioned us for strengthened performance ahead. This includes diversifying our customer base, new product development, greater efficiency, lower operating expenses, improved profitability and a healthier balance sheet.”

Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2020, OSS expects revenue of approximately $13.0 million, with similar gross margins compared to the previous quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management believes that the use of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, is helpful for an investor to assess the performance of the Company. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition expenses, impairment of long-lived assets, financing costs, fair value adjustments from purchase accounting, stock-based compensation expense and expenses related to discontinued operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash operating expenses, management believes that providing a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes non-cash and non-recurring expenses allows for meaningful comparisons between the company’s core business operating results and those of other companies, as well as providing the company with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating its core business operating results over different periods of time.

The company’s adjusted EBITDA measure may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the same industry, as other companies in the same industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. The company’s adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or as an indication of operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Management does not consider adjusted EBITDA to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results.

Adjusted EPS excludes the impact of certain items and, therefore, has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that exclusion of certain selected items assists in providing a more complete understanding of the underlying results and trends and allows for comparability with the company’s peer company index and industry. Management uses this measure along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage the business and to evaluate the company’s performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace. The Company defines Non-GAAP (loss) income attributable to common stockholders as (loss) or income before amortization, stock-based compensation, expenses related to discontinued operations, impairment of long-lived assets and non-recurring acquisition costs. Adjusted EPS expresses adjusted (loss) income on a per share basis using weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. Management expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS financial adjustments described above, and investors should not infer from the company’s presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.
