BLOOMINGDALE, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCTI) announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020.
Highlights
- Revenue of $21.2 million in the quarter and $77.5 million for the year, 7.5% lower compared to the fourth quarter 2019 and 14.5% lower in the year compared to 2019. Revenue was higher by 9.5% for the test and measurement product line, and lower by 15.2% for the antenna product line compared to the fourth quarter 2019. For the year, revenue was lower by 2.0% for the test and measurement product line and lower by 19.4% for the antenna product line.
- Gross profit margin of 50.1% in the fourth quarter and 49.0% for the year, down 0.2% compared to the gross profit margin in the fourth quarter 2019 and up 3.2% in the year compared to 2019. The gross profit percentage in the fourth quarter reflects a higher mix of higher margin test and measurement products, offsetting lower gross margin percentages for both test and measurement products and antenna products.
- GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.10 in the fourth quarter and $0.18 in the year compared to GAAP net income per share of $0.10 in the fourth quarter 2019 and $0.21 for the year in 2019.
-
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 $0.12 in the fourth quarter and $0.31 for the year compared to Non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.16 in the fourth quarter 2019 and $0.47 for the year in 2019.
-
Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue of 15.1% in the fourth quarter and 11.7% in the year compared to 16.3% in the fourth quarter and 12.4% for the year in 2019.
- $41.0 million of cash and investments (including long-term investments) and no debt at December 31, 2020 compared to $41.3 million and no debt at September 30, 2020.
“We’re pleased with the strong performance for both our antenna and scanning receiver product lines in the fourth quarter. We saw improvements in revenue and earnings in the second half of the year and incoming orders were at the highest level since the second quarter of 2019,” said David Neumann, PCTEL’s CEO. “We expect demand to increase for our antennas, IoT devices and 5G solutions through the year as market conditions improve.”

This schedule reconciles the Company’s GAAP operating income 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. |
|
The adjustments to GAAP operating income (a) consist of stock compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets. The adjustments to GAAP net income include the non-GAAP adjustments to operating income as well as adjustments for (b) non-cash income tax expense. |

This schedule reconciles the Company’s GAAP operating income to Adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes that 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 Adjusted EBITDA when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s GAAP results. |
|
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The adjustments on this schedule consist of depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, and stock compensation expenses. |
