Sierra Wireless Reports Third Quarter 2019 Results


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - November 5, 2019 - Sierra Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW) today reported results for its third quarter ended September 30, 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.

“We continue to make strong progress on our transformation to an integrated IoT Solutions company,” said Kent Thexton, President and CEO. “We had a record quarter in new recurring services wins and our services pipeline is growing. In addition, we are continuing to drive greater efficiencies in our business under our two-year cost reduction program.”  

Revenue for the third quarter of 2019 was $174.0 million compared to $203.4 million in the third quarter of 2018.  Quarterly revenue for our two business segments was as follows: (i) Revenue from IoT Solutions was $93.4 million in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of 2.1% compared to $95.5 million in the third quarter of 2018 due to lower Integrated IoT solutions module revenue, partially offset by stronger subscription, support and other services revenue and stronger sales of Enterprise gateway products. Within the IoT Solutions segment, recurring subscription revenue was up 6.7%; and (ii) Revenue from Embedded Broadband was $80.6 million in the third quarter of 2019, down 25.3% compared to $107.9 million in the third quarter of 2018 mainly due to weaker demand from mobile computing, networking and automotive customers. Subscription, support and other services revenue in the third quarter was $24.6 million, representing 14% of consolidated revenue and Product revenue was $149.4 million, representing 86% of consolidated revenue.

 GAAP RESULTS
Gross margin was $55.0 million, or 31.6% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2019 compared to
$67.3 million, or 33.1% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2018.
Restructuring expense was $6.3 million compared to $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Operating expenses were $67.6 million and loss from operations was $12.6 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to operating expenses of $66.4 million and earnings from operations of $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Net loss was $20.2 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2019 compared $1.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018.

NON-GAAP RESULTS(1) 
Gross margin was 31.7% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to 33.1% in the third quarter of 2018.
Operating expenses were $53.3 million and earnings from operations were $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to operating expenses of $56.5 million and earnings from operations of $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Net earnings were $1.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2019 compared to net earnings of $10.5 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") were $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $16.0 million in the third quarter of 2018.

(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 third quarter of 2019 were $86.9 million, representing an increase of $2.1 million from the end of the second quarter of 2019. The increase in cash was primarily due to cash flow from operating activities, partially offset by capital expenditures.

In Q3 2019, we recorded $2.7 million in severance and $3.6 million in transitional costs related to the consolidation of engineering and product management resources as well as the outsourcing initiatives we previously announced. 

Acquisition of M2M Group
On November 5, 2019, we signed an agreement to purchase the M2M group of companies ("M2M Group") in Australia to expand our IoT Solutions business in the Asia-Pacific region. The M2M Group is focused on connectivity services and IoT cellular devices with a strong history of IoT leadership and solid carrier relations in the region. The purchase price of $19.8 million is based on cash consideration of $18.8 million for 100% of the equity plus approximately $1.0 million for the retirement of certain obligations, subject to normal working capital adjustments. The business is an excellent strategic fit with our IoT Solutions business with slightly more than half of the M2M Group’s revenue coming from subscription-based recurring revenue. This segment of the business has been growing rapidly over the last several years. The M2M Group’s revenue in the last twelve months was US$17.9 million, of which $9.2 million was recurring subscription-based revenue. We expect the acquisition to be accretive to earnings immediately following closing in early 2020. The M2M Group has a solid platform for us to increase our IoT services and solutions in Australia and Southeast Asia. We expect the transaction to close early in January 2020, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Accounting Standard Adoption
We adopted the new accounting standard for lease accounting (ASC 842) effective January 1, 2019. Our third quarter 2019 financial results reflect the adoption of this new standard.

Financial Guidance - Full Year

For our full year 2019 outlook, we now expect IoT Solutions segment revenue to increase approximately 3% to 4% year-over-year and Embedded Broadband segment revenue to decrease approximately 22% to 23% year-over-year. We expect this will result in full year 2019 revenue in the range of $708 million to $712 million. We are adjusting our profitability guidance of Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $23 million and non-GAAP EPS to be in the range of zero to 3 cents. 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.

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.
