PCTEL Posts $10.7 Million In First Quarter Revenue
CHICAGO, Apr 27, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leading provider of wireless solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004. This was the third full quarter of operating results following the company's sale of its legacy HSP modem product line to Conexant (NASDAQ:CNXT) in May 2003 as part of PCTEL's well-established wireless transition plan.
Total revenue was $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2004, including $8.6 million of wireless product revenue and $2.1 million of licensing revenue. This compares to $13.1 million of revenue in the first quarter 2003, which included $0.7 million of wireless revenue, $1.9 million of licensing revenue, and $10.5 million of HSP modem revenue. Net loss for the first quarter of 2004 was $(0.5) million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $(0.9) million, or $(0.05) per diluted share reported in the first quarter of 2003.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2003, the company grew its wireless revenue from $3.5 million to $8.6 million, an increase of 146 percent. The company acquired MAXRAD, a leading provider of antenna solutions on January 2, 2004. The MAXRAD product group contributed to the strong wireless growth for the quarter.
"Our expanding customer list for Segue products, strong sales of our software-defined radios and CLARIFY into carrier markets, and the anticipated contribution of the new MAXRAD product line have strengthened our wireless presence," said Marty Singer, PCTEL's Chairman and CEO. "As we move onto the rest of the year, we look forward to realizing benefits from the integration of our three product groups under a financially stable and focused PCTEL," added Singer.
Cash and short-term investments on March 31, 2004 were $107.4 million, a decrease of $18.0 million from the fourth quarter of 2003. The decline was primarily due to the acquisition of MAXRAD in the quarter. As of March 31, 2004, the company has repurchased 1.54 million out of the 2.5 million shares authorized by the Board of Directors under its share buyback program. No shares were repurchased during the first quarter.
