AURORA, Ill., May 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westell Technologies, Inc. WSTL, a leading provider of high-performance network infrastructure solutions, today announced results for its fiscal 2019 fourth quarter ended March 31, 2019 (4Q19) and its fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 (FY19). Management will host a conference call to discuss financial and business results tomorrow, Thursday, May 30, 2019 at 9:30 AM Eastern Time (details below).
"4Q19 revenue was largely affected by the performance of our IBW segment. While sales of commercial repeaters and DAS conditioners decreased as expected, delays in expanding our product portfolio for a larger addressable public safety market further contributed to the IBW decline. Seasonally lower sales of remote units affected ISM revenue after a strong performance in 3Q19. CNS revenue increased sequentially, led by power distribution and network connectivity products, and growing traction for our new suite of fiber access solutions," said Stephen John, Westell's President and CEO.
"Moving forward, our IBW business remains committed to the public safety market and the development of our OnGo small cell for private LTE networks. For our CNS and ISM businesses, we are focused on densification initiatives for 5G and IoT where our fiber access and remote monitoring solutions address the critical requirements of more capacity, deployment simplification, and intelligence at the edge of communication networks," added John.

In-Building Wireless (IBW) Segment
IBW's revenue decrease was primarily due to new public safety product introduction delays and lower sales of commercial repeaters and DAS conditioners, partly offset by increased sales of existing public safety repeaters and passive RF system components. IBW's gross margin decrease was primarily due to higher excess and obsolete inventory costs.

The Company conforms to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the preparation of its financial statements. The schedules above reconcile the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The adjustments share one or more of the following characteristics: they are unusual and the Company does not expect them to recur in the ordinary course of its business; they do not involve the expenditure of cash; they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course; or their magnitude and timing is largely outside of the Company's control. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial information provides meaningful supplemental information to investors. Management also believes the non-GAAP financial information reflects the Company's core ongoing operating performance and facilitates comparisons across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results. Non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's GAAP results.
