PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCTI) announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Highlights
- Revenue of $17.7 million in the first quarter, 1.1% higher compared to the first quarter 2020.
- Gross profit margin of 47.1% in the first quarter, up 0.2% compared to the gross profit margin in the first quarter 2020. The gross profit percentage in the first quarter reflects a higher gross profit margin for test and measurement products, offsetting a lower gross margin percentage for antennas and Industrial IoT devices.
- GAAP net loss per diluted share of $0.04 in the first quarter which was the same as first quarter 2020.
-
Non-GAAP net income and adjusted EBITDA are metrics the Company uses to measure its core earnings. A reconciliation of those non-GAAP measures to our GAAP financial statements is provided later in the press release.
- Non-GAAP net income per diluted share of ($0.00) in the first quarter compared to Non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.01 in the first quarter 2020.
- Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue of 3.8% in the first quarter which was the same as first quarter 2020.
- $40.6 million of cash and investments (including long-term investments) and no debt at March 31, 2020 compared to $41.0 million and no debt at December 31, 2020.
“Our antenna business was stable and the test and measurement products continue to perform very well as we address 5G deployments and emerging public safety opportunities,” said David Neumann, PCTEL’s CEO. “As we announced on May 3rd, we’re excited about our recent acquisition of Smarteq Wireless AB, a leading European supplier of antennas for vehicular, energy and Industrial IoT applications (“Smarteq”). Smarteq’s product wins for Industrial IoT, EV charging stations and vehicles complement our recent antenna design wins in utilities, 5G and metering. “We expect market conditions and the demand for our antenna, IoT device and scanner products to improve through the year as global economies recover.”
