Financial Highlights
On a GAAP basis, revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $7.9 million, a decrease of approximately 32% from revenue of $11.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, and a decrease of approximately 23% from revenue of $10.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. These decreases were attributable to a combination of the continuing impact of the worldwide economic slowdown on broadband wireless sales and the first quarter typically being the weakest quarter of the year for Proxim.
In the first quarter ended March 31, 2009, gross margins were 55.1%, compared to 38.4% for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, and 42.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The margin improvement for the first quarter consisted primarily of a 14% increase due to one-time benefits, including catch up billings and the release of inventory reserves.
On a GAAP basis, the net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $0.2 million or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, and a net loss of $5.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
The net income was $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, on a non-GAAP basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, which excludes depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets, and stock based compensation, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $1 million or $0.04 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, and a non-GAAP net loss of $4.1 million or $0.17 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
The financial results above reflect discontinued operations accounting treatment for a portion of Proxim's consolidated operations. The discontinued operations consisted of the Harmonix Division discontinued during the second quarter of 2008.
"While the first quarter of 2009 certainly had its challenges, we are very pleased to report our first operating income since the quarter ended December 31, 2005," said Pankaj Manglik, President and CEO of Proxim Wireless. "During these difficult economic times, we have focused on watching our expenses carefully while continuing our commitment to new product introductions. Our focus on controlling expenses will continue while we also work to increase our revenues from existing and new products as we move through 2009."
Highlights of recent press announcements include:
-- Proxim's Tsunami(TM) MP.16 3500 licensed band WiMAX radios were deployed to provide the wireless backhaul for Turkey's largest video surveillance network in the port city of Bodrum, which currently has over 70 wireless video surveillance cameras deployed.
-- The California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) and California Highway Patrol (CHP) deployed Proxim's Tsunami(TM) MP.11 5054 base stations and 5012 subscriber units to provide the wireless connectivity for their "Fog Pilot" Intelligent Transportation System (ITS).
-- Cybermoor, a UK leader in community broadband, selected Proxim's Tsunami(TM) MP.11 license-free WiMAX technology to provide wireless broadband to one of England's most remote, rural communities.
-- Proxim enabled the town of Elk River, Idaho to receive rural broadband connectivity for the first time via a combination of Tsunami MP.11 5054-R point-to-multipoint radios providing the wireless backhaul and ORiNOCO(R) AP-700 and AP-4000 access points providing Wi-Fi access.
-- The New Town at St. Charles, a new community in Missouri, was built using Proxim's wireless technology to provide the entire town the capability of broadband access, wireless VoIP, and video surveillance. The community utilizes Proxim's wireless backhaul, WiMAX and Wi-Fi technologies for a complete end-to-end wireless network that saves the town up to $4,000 per month in leased line costs.
-- Proxim's Tsunami MP.11 HS (High Security) line of base stations and subscriber units were the first point-to-multipoint wireless broadband products to be certified with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Publications 140-2 Level 2 validation.
-- Proxim announced a new bundle of wireless broadband products -- the Tsunami(TM) 5012-CPE license-free WiMAX subscriber units -- designed to help global ISPs and carriers deliver broadband connectivity, as well as IPTV and VoIP services, at a fraction of the cost of delivering basic data services with wired technology.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement Proxim Wireless' condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Proxim uses certain measures of financial performance that are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These non-GAAP measures may include gross margin, net income (loss), and net income (loss) per share data that are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains, and losses, and to enhance investors' overall understanding of Proxim's current financial performance and Proxim's prospects for the future. Specifically Proxim believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of its core operating results. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the GAAP results in the attached tables.
