AUSTIN, Texas, Aug 12, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ENTN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Entorian Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ENTN), a leader in rugged, mission-critical mobile and server computing solutions for use in harsh, demanding environments, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Total revenue for the quarter was $7.7 million, which was at the high end of the company's previously stated guidance range of $5.0 million to $8.0 million. Revenue in the second quarter of 2009 consisted of $6.9 million of product revenue associated with the company's rugged technology solutions and $0.8 million of memory license revenue. This compares to total revenue of $13.0 million in the first quarter of 2009, which included product revenue of $9.5 million associated with the company's rugged technology solutions and $3.4 million from the company's memory solutions business, as well as $96,000 of license revenue. As discussed by the company previously, Entorian completed the transition of its memory solutions business in the first quarter of 2009 by transferring all manufacturing of its stacked memory products to third parties.

"The second quarter represented the final stage in transitioning our business to a rugged computing solutions provider," commented Stephan Godevais, Entorian's president and chief executive officer. "We also continued to make progress towards improving our fundamentals by lowering our cost structure. Our second quarter revenue was impacted in part by the constrained spending levels at state and local municipalities as a result of the current economic situation," stated Mr. Godevais.

Godevais further commented, "Also, our leading OEM customer successfully launched its next-generation fully rugged notebook, which has been well received by the media and customers. This new Augmentix-produced rugged product line is being positioned as one of this customer's top strategic initiatives in the coming quarters. Our strong relationship continues to evolve, creating new market opportunities for both of us."

In accordance with GAAP, gross profit for the second quarter 2009 was $1.1 million, or 14 percent of revenue, compared to 22 percent in the previous quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 22 percent in the second quarter of 2009, compared to 27 percent in the previous quarter.

On a GAAP basis, total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2009 were $4.9 million, compared to $7.7 million in the previous quarter. The first quarter of 2009 operating expenses included a restructuring charge of $2.3 million. SG&A represented approximately 37 percent of net revenue, including stock-based compensation expense of $272,000, compared to 25 percent in the previous quarter. R&D was approximately 27 percent of revenue, compared to 17 percent in the previous quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, total operating expenses for the quarter were $4.7 million, compared to $7.4 million in the previous quarter.

Second quarter GAAP net loss was $3.7 million, or ($0.08) per diluted share, compared to a net loss in the previous quarter of $5.0 million, or ($0.11) per diluted share.

Excluding non-cash charges for stock-based compensation, amortization and impairment of acquisition intangibles and goodwill, the non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter was $2.9 million, or ($0.06) per diluted share, compared to the non-GAAP net loss of $4.1 million, or ($0.09) per diluted share, in the previous quarter. A reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables following the text of this press release.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments on June 30, 2009 were $18.0 million, compared to $19.1 million on March 31, 2009. During the second quarter, the company repurchased approximately 80,000 shares of its common stock under its repurchase program at a cost of approximately $26,000. As of June 30, 2009, the company had approximately $6.7 million remaining under its stock repurchase plan.

Inventory as of June 30, 2009 was $4.8 million, compared to $1.9 million in the previous quarter. Accounts receivable was $11.5 million, compared to $10.7 million in the previous quarter. Capital expenditures were $336,000 and depreciation expense was $433,000.

Business Outlook

"While we expect sequential demand growth in the third quarter, due to our traditional markets' seasonality, our second generation rugged laptop is still early in its market launch and production ramp. We also remain cautious as a result of the overall economy and the uncertainty of federal, local and state government spending levels and timing. In the longer run, we have confidence in the ability of our OEM partner to gain market share," concluded Mr. Godevais.

Cautionary Language

This press release contains forward-looking statements. These statements are generally accompanied by words such as "expect," "believe," and similar expressions. These statements include our expectation regarding sequential demand growth in the third quarter and our confidence in the ability of our OEM partner to gain market share. We do not have sufficient backlog to rely upon when forecasting results, so our future performance is very difficult to predict. Our forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and assumptions and are subject to many risks, uncertainties and unknown future events that could cause actual results to differ materially. Risks and uncertainties that may cause future results to differ include, but are not limited to, the risk of a change in our relationship with our OEM customer with which we have an exclusive sales and marketing agreement regarding certain ruggedized computer notebook products; a change in the efforts by our OEM customer to sell our rugged computing products; the timing and volume of sales of our products by our OEM customer; a shortage of critical parts, which could negatively impact our ability to fulfill orders; fluctuating demand for, and life cycles of, our products; inconsistency in forecasts provided to us by our largest customer, resulting in increased inventory exposure as we build to our customer's current forecast; operational risks from our reliance on suppliers, subcontractors and third-party manufacturers for the production of ruggedized products; a failure by us to develop new products that are successfully qualified and utilized by customers; our ability to manufacture and ship products within a particular reporting period; the risk that foreign or domestic manufacturers develop products that compete successfully with our own on cost or other functionality; our ability to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend claims that we infringe the intellectual property rights of others, and the significant costs to us of related litigation; the risk that our average selling prices decline during the period more than we expect because of competitive pressures, substituted products or overall reduced demand for our products; risks associated with budget constraints of federal, state and local governments that could negatively impact sales of our ruggedized products; risks associated with the failure of our ruggedized products to meet the military specification MIL-STD-810F; risks related to product liability and warranty claims in the event our products do function according to specification or include defective parts; the risks of seasonality, to which we are subject; and the risks associated with our dependence on a few key personnel to manage our business effectively.

For a discussion of these and other factors that could impact our financial results and cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, please refer to our recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in particular, our Form 10-K filed on March 12, 2009. The foregoing information concerning our business outlook represents our outlook as of the date of this news release, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new developments or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measurements

In addition to the GAAP results provided by this document, the company has provided non-GAAP financial measurements that present operating income, net income and earnings per diluted share on a basis excluding non-cash charges for stock-based compensation and amortization and impairment of acquisition intangibles and the associated income tax effect. Details of these excluded items are presented in one of the tables below, which reconcile the GAAP results to non-GAAP financial measurements described in this press release. Entorian has chosen to provide non-GAAP financial measurements to investors because it believes that excluding certain charges represents a better basis for the comparison of its current results to the results of its peer companies. In addition, the company believes that it provides a means to highlight the results of core ongoing operations to investors. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
