Sierra Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW) today reported results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2019. All results are reported in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), except as otherwise indicated below.
Revenue for the first quarter of 2019 was $173.8 million compared to $186.8 million in the first quarter of 2018. Our reporting segmentation has changed from those reported at December 31, 2018 when we previously reported three segments. Our new organizational structure clearly delineates our Device-to-Cloud solutions activities and we now have two reportable segments effective the first quarter of 2019: (i) the IoT Solutions segment and (ii) the Embedded Broadband segment. We have adjusted our comparative information.
Quarterly revenue for our two business segments was as follows: (i) Revenue from IoT Solutions was $94.3 million in the first quarter of 2019, up 5.4% compared to $89.4 million in the first quarter of 2018 driven by strong sales of Airlink gateway products; and (ii) Revenue from Embedded Broadband was $79.5 million in the first quarter of 2019, down 18.4% compared to $97.4 million in the first quarter of 2018 due to weaker demand from mobile computing and networking customers.
“We are making good progress driving improved efficiency throughout our operations to accelerate our transformation into a leading global IoT solutions provider,” said Kent Thexton, President and CEO of Sierra Wireless. “At the same time, we are investing in innovative cellular technologies and capabilities to enhance our differentiated Device-To-Cloud offering and grow our recurring subscription-based revenue.”
GAAP RESULTS
NON-GAAP RESULTS(1)
(1) See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results by Quarter" below.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter of 2019 were $74.1 million, representing a decrease of $15.0 million from the end of the fourth quarter of 2018. The net loss from operations, combined with working capital requirements, primarily to fund higher inventory, drove this reduction in cash.
Accounting Standard Adoption
We adopted the new accounting standard for lease accounting (ASC 842) effective January 1, 2019. Our first quarter 2019 financial results reflect the adoption of this new standard.
Financial Guidance - Full Year
For the year ended December 31, 2019, we expect revenue to be flat year-over-year and we expect Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $35 million. We expect non-GAAP net earnings per share to be approximately $0.30 to $0.35 for the full year 2019. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
This non-GAAP guidance constitutes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws and reflects current business indicators and expectations. These statements are based on management's current beliefs and assumptions, which could prove to be significantly incorrect. Forward-looking statements, particularly those that relate to longer periods of time, are subject to substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ significantly from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, including those described in our regulatory filings. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" below.
Subsequent Event
As part of the company’s overall cost savings program, we announced internally two initiatives on April 30th:
i. to optimize the footprint of our design centers, we have launched a process to reduce the size of our development team in Paris and consolidate more of our R&D in both Canada and Asia; and
ii. to improve our administrative efficiency, we have decided to partner with a global outsourcing leader to provide certain transaction-based services. We expect to be fully transitioned by the end of the year.
These two initiatives will impact approximately 125 positions, including approximately 99 in France. Once completed, we expect to incur approximately $28 million in severance and transitional costs.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We disclose these non-GAAP financial measures as we believe they provide useful information to investors and analysts to assist them in their evaluation of our operating results and to assist in comparisons from one period to another. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Non-GAAP gross margin excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related social taxes and certain other nonrecurring costs or recoveries.
Non-GAAP earnings (loss) from operations includes allocation of realized gains or losses on forward contracts and excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related social taxes, acquisition-related amortization, acquisition-related and integration costs, restructuring costs, impairment and certain other non-recurring costs or recoveries.
Non-GAAP income tax expense includes certain tax adjustments and taxes on acquisition-related amortization, acquisition-related and integration costs, restructuring costs, other non-recurring costs and foreign exchange.
In addition to the above, Non-GAAP net earnings (loss) and non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per share exclude the impact of foreign exchange gains or losses on translation of certain balance sheet accounts, foreign exchange gains or losses on forward contracts and certain tax adjustments.
We use the above-noted non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes and to allow us to assess the performance of our business before including the impacts of the items noted above as they affect the comparability of our financial results. These non-GAAP measures are reviewed regularly by management and the Board of Directors as part of the ongoing internal assessment of our operating performance. We also use non-GAAP earnings from operations as one component in determining short-term incentive compensation for management employees.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) plus stock-based compensation expense and related social taxes, acquisition-related and integration costs, restructuring cost, impairment, certain other nonrecurring costs or recoveries, amortization, foreign exchange gains or losses on translation of certain balance sheet accounts, unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses on forward contracts, interest and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes and is an important indicator of our operating performance and our ability to generate liquidity through operating cash flow that will fund future working capital needs and fund future capital expenditures.
