BLOOMINGDALE, Ill., Apr 30, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a leader in propagation and optimization solutions for the wireless industry, announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009.

First Quarter Financial Highlights - Continuing Operations

$14.1 million in revenue from continuing operations for the quarter, a decrease of 23% over the same period last year.
GAAP Gross Profit Margin from continuing operations of 47%, as compared to 48% for the same period last year.
Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin is 48%, unchanged from the same period last year.
GAAP Operating Margin from continuing operations of a negative (17) % as compared to a positive 2% in the same period last year. The current quarter includes a $1.3 million (9%) goodwill impairment charge, representing all of the company's remaining goodwill, including $922,000 related to the recent Wi-Sys acquisition. The charge was caused by goodwill impairment accounting rules as they relate to the total company's market capitalization versus book value, and not the profitability of the underlying operations.
Non-GAAP Operating Margin from continuing operations of 3% versus13% in the same period last year. The Company's reporting of non-GAAP operating margin excludes expenses for restructuring, gain or loss on sale of assets, stock based compensation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill related to the Company's acquisitions.
GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $(1.6) million for the quarter, or $(0.09) per diluted share, compared to a net income of $475,000, or $0.02 per share for the same period in 2008.
Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations of $451,000 for the quarter, or $0.03 per diluted share compared to $2.7 million of net income, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the same period in 2008. The Company's reporting of non-GAAP net income excludes expenses for restructuring, gain or loss on sale of assets, stock based compensation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill related to the Company's acquisitions, and non-cash related income tax expense.

$77 million of cash, short term investments, and long term investments at March 31, 2009, compared to $78 million at December 31, 2008. During the quarter, the Company spent $2 million for the purchase of Wi-Sys, a Canadian based antenna company, and generated approximately $1 million in cash and investments from all other activities. The Company repurchased approximately 20,000 shares of its common stock during the first quarter at an average price of $4.26. The company has approximately $4.9 million remaining under previously authorized share repurchase programs.

"The first quarter revenue reflects the challenging economic environment that is constraining both Enterprise and Public Carrier spending on infrastructure growth and maintenance," said Marty Singer, PCTEL's Chairman and CEO. "To some extent, we anticipated this downturn and moderated our spending in mid-2008. Our cost structure and relatively stable gross margins permitted us to generate a small profit and, more importantly, positions the company to benefit from modest improvements in the broader economy. We continue to invest aggressively in our product lines in anticipation of stronger markets in the future," added Singer.

The Company completed the sale of its Mobility Solutions Group (MSG) in January, 2008. The Company's financial statements reflect MSG as a discontinued operation.

This schedule reconciles the company's GAAP operating income and GAAP net income from continuing operations to its non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income from continuing operations. 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 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.

(a) These adjustments reflect stock based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges and impairment charges

(b) These adjustments include the items described in footnote (a) as well as the non-cash income tax expense
