Highlights

Revenue of $26.7 million in the quarter, a 2% increase over the same period last year. $96.7 million in revenue for the year, a decrease of 9% as compared to 2015.

Net loss of $0.33 per share in the quarter, compared to a net loss of $0.05 per share in the same period last year. Net loss of $1.09 per share for the year, compared to a net loss of $0.09 last year. 2016 results include non-cash expenses for intangible asset impairments and the establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance which cost $0.35 per share in the quarter and $1.00 per share for the year.
Non-GAAP net income and adjusted EBITDA are measures the company uses to reflect the results of its core earnings. A reconciliation of those Non-GAAP measures to our financial statements is provided later in the press release.

Non-GAAP net income of $0.08 per share in the quarter compared to $0.04 for the same period last year, and $0.20 per share for the year compared to $0.11 in 2015. The non-cash expenses for intangible asset impairments and the establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance are responsible for most of difference between GAAP & non-GAAP results.
Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percent of revenue in the quarter of 9% compared to 6% for the same period last year, and 7% for the year compared to 5% in 2015.

$33.3 million of cash and short-term investments at December 31, 2016, an increase of approximately $2.1 million from the preceding quarter. The Company generated free cash flow of approximately $3.0 million for the quarter (11% of revenue) and $8.5 million for the year (9% of revenue).

"Strong small cell antenna demand coupled with scanning receiver sales contributed to improved revenue and gross profit margin for the quarter," said David Neumann, PCTEL's CEO.
