PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCTI) announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Highlights
- Revenue of $22.4 million in the third quarter, 18.4% higher compared to the third quarter 2020 and $0.7 million higher compared to the second quarter 2021.
- Gross profit margin of 45.8% in the third quarter compared to 50.6% in the third quarter 2020 and 45.9% in the second quarter 2021. The decline from the third quarter of 2020 is primarily due to a higher mix of antennas and Industrial IoT devices.
- GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.04 in the third quarter compared to $0.06 in the third quarter 2020 and ($0.01) in the second quarter 2021.
-
Non-GAAP net income and adjusted EBITDA are metrics the Company uses to measure its core earnings.
- Non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.08 in the third quarter compared to Non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.08 in the third quarter 2020 and $0.07 in the second quarter 2021.
- Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue of 10.4% in the third quarter compared to 12.4% in the third quarter 2020 and 10.2% in the second quarter 2021.
- $32.5 million of cash and investments and $0.1 million of debt at September 30, 2021 compared to $41.0 million and no debt at December 31, 2020.
“Despite the significant supply chain issues that impacted our revenues, we’re encouraged that our earnings were within our guidance and our revenue was modestly below guidance,” said David Neumann, PCTEL’s CEO. “Demand for our products remains strong as evidenced by another sequential increase in orders. We continue to invest in exciting new 5G products, including the Gflex™ scanning receiver, new 5G/IoT antenna platforms and industrial IoT devices. The Gflex scanning receiver opens new opportunities in the government signal intelligence market and we believe market demand for our 5G, vehicular and IIoT products will remain high through next year.”

| This schedule reconciles the Company's GAAP operating income (loss) to its non-GAAP operating income. The Company believes that presentation of this schedule provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company's core operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's GAAP results. | |||||||||||||
