Sierra Wireless Reports Second Quarter 2020 Results

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 second quarter of 2020 was $144.1 million compared to $191.4 million in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of 24.7%.  Quarterly revenue for our two business segments was as follows: (i) Revenue from Embedded Broadband at $62.2 million in the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of 32.5% compared to $92.2 million in the second quarter of 2019, reflecting lower automotive revenue due to the impact of COVID-19 and lower mobile computing module sales. (ii) Revenue from IoT Solutions was $81.8 million in the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of 17.5% compared to $99.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 due to lower hardware sales in Enterprise gateway products and IoT Solutions modules due to the impact of COVID-19. Within this segment we had solid year-over-year recurring and other service revenue growth of 12.2% driven by growth in connected devices and the addition of revenue from the M2M Group acquisition. Recurring and other services revenue in the second quarter was $28.1 million, representing 19.5% of consolidated revenue and Product revenue was $116.0 million, representing 80.5% of consolidated revenue.
 GAAP RESULTS
Gross margin was $45.9 million, or 31.8% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $59.0 million, or 30.8% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2019.
Operating expenses were $63.7 million and loss from operations was $17.8 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to operating expenses of $82.2 million and loss from operations of $23.3 million in the second quarter of 2019. In the second quarter of 2019, we recorded restructuring expenses of $18.2 million.





Net loss was $15.6 million, or loss of $0.43 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $28.2 million, or loss of $0.78 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2019.
Short-term borrowings were $15.0 million as at June 30, 2020 compared to $25.0 million as at March 31, 2020.
NON-GAAP RESULTS(1) 
Gross margin was 31.8% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 30.8% in the second quarter of 2019.
Loss from operations was $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to earnings from operations of $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2019.
Net loss was $11.1 million, or loss of $0.30 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020 compared to net earnings of $2.5 million, or earnings of $0.07 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2019.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") loss were $5.3 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to Adjusted EBITDA earnings of $7.9 million in the second quarter of 2019.
(1) See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results by Quarter" below.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of the second quarter of 2020 was $62.5 million, representing a decrease of $10.3 million from the end of the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in cash was primarily driven by the partial repayment of our revolving credit facility and capital expenditures, partially offset by cash flow provided by operating activities.
Divestiture of Automotive Embedded Module Product Line
On July 23, 2020, we entered into a definitive agreement with Rolling Wireless (H.K.) Limited ("Rolling Wireless"), a consortium led by Fibocom Wireless Inc. of Shenzhen to divest our Shenzhen, China-based automotive embedded module product line for $165 million in cash, subject to normal working capital adjustments at closing. The automotive product line includes approximately $19 million in cash. Revenue for the automotive product line is part of our Embedded Broadband reportable segment and was approximately $166 million in 2019. The Company will exit automotive applications but will continue to invest in other products in its Embedded Broadband segment, specifically high-speed cellular modules typically used in Enterprise applications. We expect that approximately 150 employees will become employees of Rolling Wireless, of which approximately 120 employees are located in Mainland China and 30 are located in Europe or the Asia-Pacific region. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020 and remains subject to customary closing conditions, including approval from China's Ministry of Commerce.
The divestiture enables the Company to strengthen its focus on fully integrated, device-to-cloud IoT solutions, driving high value recurring revenue and allows the Company to invest further in 5G embedded modules and routers. The transaction will also strengthen our balance sheet by providing additional liquidity.
Credit Facilities
During the second quarter, we amended our revolving credit agreement with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC") to increase our total borrowing capacity from $30.0 million to $50.0 million and extended the maturity date of the facility form July 2021 to April 2023. On July 22, we entered into a Cdn$12.5M term loan agreement with CIBC backed by the Canadian Government under the Business Credit Availability Program to provide for additional liquidity to the Company.
Financial Guidance
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our global business continues to remain uncertain. While we continue to evaluate the effects of COVID-19 on our business, the overall severity and duration of adverse impacts related to COVID-19 on our business, financial condition, cash flows and/or results of operations for the third quarter 2020





and beyond cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate size of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on future developments which cannot be currently predicted.
Given these conditions, we continue not to provide guidance although we are seeing some business improvements. In conjunction with the recently announced divestiture of the embedded automotive business, we have begun to initiate actions to reduce operating expenses by approximately $20 million which serves to rightsize the remaining business and improve ongoing earnings and cashflows.
We will continue to monitor the effects of COVID-19 on our business.
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 non-recurring 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.
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.
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.
