PCTEL Posts $20.1 Million in Third Quarter Revenue from Continuing Operations

October 27, 2008

BLOOMINGDALE, Ill., Oct 27, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a leader in propagation and optimization solutions for the wireless industry, announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008.

The Company completed the sale of its Mobility Solutions Group (MSG) on January 4, 2008. The Company's financial statements reflect MSG as a discontinued operation.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights -- Continuing Operations (excludes MSG)

-- $20.1 million in revenue from continuing operations for the quarter, an increase of 14 percent over the same period last year.

-- Gross Profit Margin from continuing operations of 48%, versus 45% from the same period last year.

-- GAAP Operating Margin from continuing operations of 3% as compared to negative (1)% in the same period last year. The operating results of the third quarter this year include a $0.9 million impairment charge (4%) related to the sale of several antenna product lines during the quarter.

-- Non-GAAP Operating Margin from continuing operations of 15% versus 6% in the same period last year. The Company's reporting of non-GAAP operating profit 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 income from continuing operations of $10.9 million for the quarter, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $0.5 million, or $0.03 per share for the same period in 2007. The results from the third quarter this year include a $10 million benefit to the tax provision related to the reversal of a valuation allowance that the company had carried on its deferred tax assets. The company reversed the allowance as it believes its long term profit profile will reasonably assure the realization of those assets.

-- Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations of $2.6 million for the quarter, or $0.14 per diluted share compared to $1.8 million of net income, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the same period in 2007. The Company's reporting of non-GAAP 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.

-- $80 million of cash and investments at September 30, 2008, of which $13 million is classified as long term. The Company repurchased 503,000 shares of its common stock during the quarter at an average price of $9.92 under its recently announced 1.0 million share buyback program.

"Although WiMAX antenna sales are lower than expected, we were pleased with the performance of other product areas," said Marty Singer, PCTEL's Chairman and CEO. "The new product introductions that we announced in late September should give us some momentum in GPS, WiMAX, and new cellular opportunities as we move into 2009," added Singer.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights -- Discontinued Operations (MSG)

-- GAAP net income from discontinued operations of $157,000 in the third quarter 2008 represents an adjustment to accrued income tax related to the gain on sale of the Mobility Solutions Group recorded in the first quarter 2008. The Company excludes discontinued operations from its non-GAAP earnings.

PCTEL's management team will discuss the Company's results during its scheduled earnings teleconference today at 5:15 PM ET. Management will host the call from their corporate headquarters in Bloomingdale, Illinois.

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