PCTEL Posts $19 Million in First Quarter Revenue

PCTEL Posts $19 Million in First Quarter Revenue

April 24, 2007

CHICAGO, Apr 24, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in wireless broadband solutions, announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. Financial highlights of the quarter were:

-- $19.0 million in revenue for the quarter compared to $18.6 million in the same quarter last year.

-- $16.3 million in revenue for the quarter from the Broadband Technology Group, up 2 percent from the same quarter last year. An increase in scanner sales was offset by lower antenna revenue resulting from the company's continued elimination of lower margin antenna product lines. Gross profit improved to 44 percent, compared to 39 percent in the first quarter last year. The gross profit improvement reflected a favorable product mix, the elimination of the Dublin factory, and greater manufacturing efficiency.

-- $2.3 million in revenue for the quarter from the Mobility Solutions Group. This is an increase of 10 percent over the first quarter last year.

-- $0.3 million in licensing revenue for the quarter, a decrease of $0.1 million from the first quarter last year.

-- GAAP net loss of $(0.8) million for the quarter, or $(0.04) per basic share, compared to $(2.2) million net loss, or $(0.11) per share for the same period in 2006.

-- Non-GAAP net income of $1.3 million for the quarter, or $0.06 per diluted share compared to net income of $0.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share for the same period in 2006. The Company's reporting of non-GAAP income excludes expenses for restructuring, stock based compensation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill related to the Company's acquisitions.

-- $67.7 million of cash and short term investments at March 31, 2007, as compared to $70.8 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2006. The change is primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable which is expected to return to historical levels over the next two quarters.

"We had an outstanding presence at 3GSM, CTIA, and IWCE during the first quarter where we had the opportunity to demonstrate the results of our investment in WiMAX, improved test tools, and our Roaming Client(TM) and IMS product lines," said Marty Singer, PCTEL's Chairman and CEO. "Combined with our cost control and improving gross margins, those product development efforts should continue to favorably impact our financial results," added Singer.

PCTEL's management team will discuss the company's results during its scheduled earnings teleconference today at 6:15 PM EDT.

(a) These adjustments reconcile the company's GAAP results of
 operations to its non-GAAP results of operations. The company
 believes that presentation of results excluding items such as non-
 cash compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and
 restructuring charges 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.

(b) This adjustment reflects the non-cash stock based compensation
 expense for restricted grants, stock bonuses, and stock options
 awarded to the company's employees.
