SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adesto Technologies Corporation IOTS, a leading provider of application-specific, ultra-low power and smart non-volatile memory products, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Third Quarter Highlights:

  • Revenue was a record $15.2 million, increasing 36.3% from the third quarter of 2016 and 13.6% from the second quarter of 2017;
  • GAAP gross margin was 49.0%, compared to 48.1% in the prior year quarter and 50.1% last quarter;
  • GAAP operating expenses were $8.3 million, and non-GAAP operating expenses were $6.9 million, a $0.8 million decrease year-over-year;
  • Adjusted EBITDA was a positive $0.9 million, compared to a positive $0.1 million in the prior quarter and a loss of $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2016.
  • GAAP net loss was $1.0 million, or ($0.05) per share, and non-GAAP net income was $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share; and
  • Ended the quarter with $30.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, and restructured existing debt facility by expanding borrowing capacity, deferring principal payments and lowering interest rates.

Commenting on the quarter, Narbeh Derhacobian, Adesto's president and CEO, stated "We achieved another quarter of record revenue, increasing 36% year-over-year to $15.2 million and exceeding our guidance range of $14.3 to $14.7 million. Notably, we achieved non-GAAP profitability one quarter ahead of plan as a result of our strong revenue growth and expense management. Our significant momentum is a direct result of our past design wins ramping into production with increasing traction on new product introductions. Also during the quarter, we continued to make great strides expanding our tier-one customer base by leveraging our new standard serial flash offerings allowing us to showcase the value-added features of our smart-memory devices.

"We also continue to see strong design win activity, with over 75% of our design wins within our two largest end-markets of industrial and consumer, where our products are ideally suited for connected, low-energy applications. An increasing number of our design wins involve applications such as smart meters, smart lighting, fitness devices, voice-activated home appliances, touch-sensor applications as well as many other types of IoT and embedded devices."

Mr. Derhacobian concluded, "As we look to the fourth quarter, we expect to continue our growth trajectory and for the third consecutive quarter are projecting revenue to grow approximately 30% over the prior year period. We also expect to maintain non–GAAP operating expenses, as a percent of revenue, consistent with the third quarter to improve bottom-line results."

Third Quarter 2017 Results
Revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was a record $15.2 million, an increase of 36.3% from $11.2 million in the third quarter of 2016 and an increase of 13.6% from $13.4 million last quarter.

Gross margin in the third quarter of 2017 was 49.0%, compared to 48.1% in the third quarter of 2016 and 50.1% in the second quarter of 2017. Gross margin continues to be within the Company's targeted range.

GAAP operating expenses in the third quarter of 2017 were $8.3 million, compared to $8.8 million in the prior year quarter and $8.3 million last quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating expenses in the third quarter of 2017 were $6.9 million, compared to $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $7.0 million in the prior quarter.

GAAP net loss in the third quarter of 2017 was $1.0 million, or ($0.05) per share, compared to a net loss of $4.1 million, or ($0.27) per share, in the third quarter of 2016 and a net loss of $1.8 million, or ($0.11) per share, in the previous quarter.

Gross margin is expected to be between 47% and 50%. GAAP operating expenses are expected to range between $8.1 million and $8.3 million, or $7.1 million and $7.3 million on a non-GAAP basis, which excludes approximately $0.7 million in stock-based compensation expense and $0.3 million in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables and the related earnings conference call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share and non-GAAP operating expenses. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our past financial performance and future results. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our business strategies and assess operational efficiencies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Our non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments based on the following items:  

  • Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures. Although stock-based compensation is an important part of our employees' compensation affecting their performance, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.
  • Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets: We have excluded the effect of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets from our non-GAAP financial measures. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets is a non-cash expense, and it is not part of our core operations. Investors should note that the use of acquisition-related intangible assets contributed to revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well.
  • Gains from dispute settlements:  We have excluded the effect of the gain on settlement of an alleged liability with a former foundry supplier from our non-GAAP financial measures.  The gain on settlement is a non-cash gain, is not a recurring event and is not part of our core operations and was excluded when evaluating our financial performance.

Our non-GAAP Financial Measures are described as follows:

  • Non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is GAAP net loss as reported on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and gains from dispute settlements. Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by weighted average shares outstanding and, if dilutive, incremental shares based upon the conversion of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and warrants.
  • Non-GAAP operating expense.  Non-GAAP operating expenses are GAAP operating expenses as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and gains from dispute settlements.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net loss as reported on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, excluding the impact of the same items excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP net income (loss) as well as interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and our provision for income taxes.

For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information."
