BLOOMINGDALE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in Performance Critical Telecom solutions, announced its 2016 first quarter results.

Quarter Highlights

$21.1 million in revenue for the quarter, a decrease of 20 percent from the same period last year.

Gross profit margin of 33.5 percent in the quarter compared to 38.7 percent for the same period last year.

GAAP operating margin of negative 13 percent for the quarter compared to operating margin of just under break even for the same period last year.

GAAP net loss of $1.5 million for the quarter, or $(0.09) per diluted share compared to just under break even for the same period last year.

Non-GAAP operating profit and net income are measures the company uses to reflect the results of its core earnings. 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.

Non-GAAP operating margin of negative three percent in the quarter, compared to four percent in the same period last year.

Non-GAAP net loss of $494,000 or $(0.03) per diluted share in the quarter, compared to $904,000 or $0.05 per diluted share in the same period last year.

$27.9 million of cash and short-term investments at March 31, 2016, a decrease of approximately $3.9 million from the preceding quarter.

783,000 common shares repurchased in the quarter for $4.1 million.

$870,000 dividends paid in the quarter.

$700,000 of free cash flow in the quarter.

"Over the past 15 months, we took several actions to align the business with significant changes in the industry," said Marty Singer, PCTEL's Chairman and CEO. "These changes include carrier spending declines which impacted our small cell kitting and engineering services revenue. We are confident, though, that our investments in direct sales to infrastructure vendors and in crowd-based, cloud-based network test and measurement will result in revenue growth and profit for the remainder of 2016 and in 2017. We are particularly well-positioned to participate in the growth associated with FirstNet, utilities, fleet, and network performance engineering," added Singer.

This schedule reconciles the Company's GAAP operating loss and GAAP net loss to its non-GAAP operating (loss) income and non-GAAP net (loss) 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.

(a) These adjustments reflect stock based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, and general and administrative expenses associated with the SEC investigation of TelWorx.

(b) These adjustments include the items described in footnote (a) as well as other income for insurance claims related to the SEC investigation of TelWorx, legal settlements, and non-cash income tax expense.
