SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 24, 2019 / Altigen Communications, Inc. (OTCQB: ATGN), a Silicon Valley based Microsoft ISV and Cloud Solutions provider, announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Total revenue for fiscal 2019 third quarter grew 4% to $2.7 million, in comparison to $2.5 million in the preceding quarter, and compared to $2.6 million during the same period in fiscal 2018.

GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $612,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with net income of $403,000, or $0.02 per diluted share in the preceding quarter, and compared to net income of $92,000, or $0.00 per diluted share during the same period a year ago. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $662,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $440,000, or $0.02 per diluted share in the preceding quarter, and compared to non-GAAP net income of $458,000, or $0.02 per diluted share in the same period of the prior year.

GAAP operating expenses totaled $1.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2019, compared with $1.7 million in the preceding quarter, and compared with $2.0 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Non-GAAP operating expenses totaled $1.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2019, compared with $1.6 million in the preceding quarter, and $1.7 million in the comparable period last year. The year-over-year expense decrease was primarily due to reduced litigation related costs. For additional information, please refer to the Company’s filings with the OTC Markets, including the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report filed on May 20, 2019.

Year-to-Date Financial Results

For the nine months of fiscal year 2019, revenue grew 9% to $7.9 million, in comparison to $7.3 million during the same period in fiscal 2018.

GAAP net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 was $1.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $813,000, or $0.03 per diluted share in the prior year period.

Non-GAAP operating expenses decreased 4% to $4.7 million for the nine months of fiscal 2019, compared to $4.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2018. The expense decrease was primarily due to reduced litigation related costs. For additional information, please refer to the Company’s filings with the OTC Markets, including the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report filed on May 20, 2019.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $4.6 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $4.7 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

Working capital was $3.4 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2019, compared with $2.9 million at the end of the preceding quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of our core operating performance on a period-to-period basis. The excluded items represent stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expenses and other non-recurring or unusual items that may arise from time to time that we do not consider to be directly related to core operating performance. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the core operating performance of our business and to perform financial planning. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that investors benefit from seeing results reviewed by management in addition to seeing GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by facilitating: (i) the comparability of our on-going operating results over the periods presented and (ii) the ability to identify trends in our underlying business.

The following are explanations of each type of adjustment that we incorporate into non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense

Stock-based compensation expense is impacted by the Company’s future hiring and retention needs and the future fair market value of the Company’s common stock, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change. Furthermore, stock-based compensation expense is generally fixed at the time of grant, then amortized over a period of several years, and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the grant. The Company believes that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense assists investors in the comparisons of operating results to peer companies. Stock-based compensation expense can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted.

Depreciation and amortization expenses

Depreciation and amortization expense includes the depreciation of property and equipment, as well as amortization of intangible assets. Such expenses are fixed at the time of an acquisition, then amortized over a period of several years. While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under GAAP, these expenses primarily represent non-cash current period expense which vary widely from company to company. Management believes that the exclusion of depreciation and amortization expense provides a supplemental measure of the Company’s ongoing operating performance.

Other non-recurring or unusual charges

The Company has excluded certain other expenses that are the result of other, non-comparable events to measure operating performance. These events arise outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations. Given the unique nature of the matters relating to these costs, the Company believes these items are not normal operating expenses. For example, legal settlements and judgments vary significantly, in their nature, size and frequency, and, due to this volatility, the Company believes the costs associated with legal settlements and judgments are not normal operating expenses. The Company believes that the exclusion of such out-of-the-ordinary-course amounts provides supplemental information to assist in the comparison of the financial results of the Company from period to period and, therefore, provides useful supplemental information to investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation. They should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
