Smith Micro Software Reports 2008 Second Quarter Results

"We are pleased to report another record quarter for the Company with revenues increasing 53% year over year to $23.5 million," said William W. Smith Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro Software. "Our Connectivity & Security business segment continued to lead the way with strong growth of 119% year over year to $12.9 million. We expect this business segment to continue to be a strong growth driver for the remainder of the year, as the overall wireless data market continues its rapid adoption, and our customers launch new connectivity solutions. We were also pleased to see our Consumer business segment have its highest revenue contribution in our history. Consumer sales increased 175% year over year to $6.2 million in a quarter that seasonally shows slower buying trends. Our Multimedia business segment performed as expected with revenues up slightly from the first quarter to $3.1 million."

Mr. Smith continued, "As we look back at the first half of the year the Company accomplished several significant milestones while continuing to deliver strong financial results. As we stated earlier in the year, the first half of 2008 was about laying the foundation for long-term financial growth. We believe we accomplished this goal by investing significant resources in the development of new products that our customers plan to launch in the second half of this year. We also invested in the continued integration of new technologies, new customers and employees from the acquisition of the Mobility Solutions Group from PCTEL earlier this year, which was our largest competitor in the Connectivity market."

Mr. Smith concluded, "We remain very optimistic about our position in the wireless software market as we have built a strong platform for long-term sustainable revenue growth and profitability. We look forward to another very solid half of 2008 and in closing I would like to reiterate our annual net revenue guidance of $95 million to $105 million for the year."

Smith Micro reported net revenues of $23.5 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008, a 53% increase when compared to the $15.4 million reported for the second quarter of 2007.

GAAP gross margins of $18.0 million increased $6.6 million, or 58%, from the second quarter ended June 30, 2007. This increase was primarily due to improved product margins on the favorable product mix and higher Multimedia margins due to the change in how the product is delivered. On a non-GAAP basis (which excludes amortization of intangibles, stock compensation and non-cash tax expense), gross margin of $19.0 million increased $7.1 million or 60% from the same period last year.

Of key significance, while the Company's revenues increased a record 53% year-over-year, gross margin dollars increased 58% from the same period last year on a GAAP basis, and 60% on a non-GAAP basis, reflecting the increasing leverage in Smith Micro's financial model.

GAAP gross margin was 77% for the second quarter of 2008 as compared with 74% for the same period last year, and non-GAAP gross margin was 81% for the second quarter of 2008 compared to 78% for the second quarter of 2007.

GAAP net loss was $158,000 or $0.01 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2008 primarily due to non-cash charges for amortization related to acquisitions and stock compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $3.6 million or $0.12 per diluted share, as compared to $5.1 million or $0.16 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Fully diluted shares outstanding as of June 30, 2008 were 30.9 million as compared to 31.4 million shares outstanding as of June 30, 2007.

Total cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments at June 30, 2008 were $26.2 million, equal to the $26.2 million at March 31, 2008.

For the six-months ended June 30, 2008 the Company reported net revenue of $45.3 million, a 37% increase when compared to the $33.0 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

GAAP gross margins of $34.8 million increased $11.4 million, or 49%, from the $23.4 million reported in the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to improved product margins on the favorable product mix and higher Multimedia margins due to the change in how the product is delivered.

On a non-GAAP basis (which excludes amortization of intangibles, stock compensation and non-cash tax expense), gross margin of $36.8 million increased $12.6 million, or 52%, from the same period last year.

GAAP net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $475,000 or $0.02 per diluted share primarily due to non-cash charges for amortization related to acquisitions and stock compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $6.7 million or $0.22 per diluted share, as compared to $11.4 million or $0.37 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

The Company uses a non-GAAP reconciliation of net income and earnings per share in the presentation of financial results in this press release. Management believes that this presentation may be more meaningful in analyzing our income generation, since amortization of intangibles from acquisitions, stock-based compensation, and non-cash tax expense are excluded from the non-GAAP earnings calculation. This presentation may be considered more indicative of our ongoing operational performance. The tables below present the differences between non-GAAP earnings and net income on an absolute and per-share basis. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and the non-financial measures as reported by Smith Micro Software may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
