Sierra Wireless Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results

Sierra Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW) (the "Company", "Sierra Wireless", "we", "us", or "our") reported results for its third quarter of 2021. All results are reported in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP"), except as otherwise indicated below.

Revenue in the third quarter of 2021 was $82.5 million compared to $113.4 million in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in revenue was due to the reduction in hardware sales due to manufacturing capacity constraints in Vietnam as a result of COVID-19 related restrictions.

Quarterly revenue for our two business segments was as follows:

 

(i)

Revenue from IoT Solutions was $53.7 million compared to $79.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in revenue was due to the previously discussed manufacturing capacity constraints.

 
 

(ii)

Revenue from Enterprise Solutions was $28.8 million compared to $34.0 million in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease was due to the reduction in hardware sales of Enterprise gateways due to the previously discussed manufacturing capacity constraints.

“We continue to experience very strong customer demand, and we had record backlog at the end of the Third Quarter,” said Phil Brace, President and CEO of Sierra Wireless. "The manufacturing capacity constraints we experienced in Q3 are improving in the current quarter but we are still facing the industry-wide tight supply for parts and components. I would like to thank our customers, suppliers and employees as we collectively work through the current environment."

Product revenue decreased 43.5% year-over-year to $47.2 million, representing 57.3% of consolidated revenue in the quarter. Connectivity, software, and services revenue increased 18.2% year-over-year to $35.2 million, representing 42.7% of consolidated revenue. Monthly recurring revenue ("MRR"1) was $11.5 million in September, a year-over-year increase of 21.1%.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the results of operations of the Automotive Business are reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures referred to in this news release are labeled as a "non-GAAP measure" or are designated as such with an asterisk (*). Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for explanations of why the Company uses these non-GAAP measures and "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results by Quarter" for reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

__________________

1 MRR is defined as the monthly subscription revenue including usage fees from current subscribers. MRR is a key performance metric to measure our performance and growth in our recurring revenue, both to help investors better understand and assess the performance of our business and also because our mix of revenue generated from recurring sources has increased in recent years. MRR does not have any standardized meaning and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. MRR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items. MRR is not a forecast.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

  • Gross margin was 29.3% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 34.8% in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily impacted by fixed costs spread over lower production volumes due to previously discussed manufacturing capacity constraints, increased component costs, and certain non-recurring COVID-19 costs in Vietnam.
  • IoT Solutions gross margin was 19.9% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 28.5% in the third quarter of 2020, and Enterprise Solutions gross margin was 46.8% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 49.6% in the third quarter of 2020.
  • Operating expenses were $61.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $57.2 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to an $11.5 million impairment charge related to the intangible assets of Maingate that was acquired in 2015 in Sweden. Excluding this impairment, our operating expenses in the third quarter of 2021 decreased compared to the third quarter of 2020.
  • Net loss from continuing operations was $38.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $14.5 million in the third quarter of 2020 due to lower revenue, lower gross margin, and impairment expense.
  • Adjusted net loss from continuing operations* was $20.7 million, or loss of $0.56 per share, in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $11.7 million, or loss of $0.32 per share, in the third quarter of 2020.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* loss was $15.0 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to a loss of $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2020.
  • Long-term debt was $9.9 million as at September 30, 2021 compared to nil as at June 30, 2021.

Cash Position

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of the third quarter of 2021 were $75.5 million compared to $118.5 million at the end of the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $42.9 million. The decrease in cash was primarily driven by the impact of the previously discussed manufacturing capacity constraints and our continued investment in inventory, partially offset by new financing of $9.9 million from attractive long-term debt.

Financial Guidance

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our global business continues to remain uncertain. While we continue to experience and evaluate the effects on our business, the overall severity and duration of adverse impacts related to COVID-19 on our business, financial condition, cash flows, and operating results for the fourth quarter of 2021 and beyond cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Demand for our products remains very strong. While our manufacturing capacity is expected to improve in the fourth quarter and we expect to build and ship more modules and gateways, the ongoing potential impact of COVID-19 and tight supply chain makes for an uncertain operating environment. Given this landscape and potential risks and uncertainties we are providing guidance range for revenue in the fourth quarter of $120 million to $135 million.

This non-GAAP guidance constitutes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws and reflects current business indicators and expectations. These statements are based on management's current beliefs and assumptions, which could prove to be significantly incorrect. Forward-looking statements, particularly those that relate to longer periods of time, are subject to substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ significantly from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, including those described in our regulatory filings. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP on a basis consistent for all periods presented. In addition to results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental indicators of our operating performance. The term “non-GAAP financial measure” is used to refer to a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that: (i) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP in a company’s statement of earnings, balance sheet or statement of cash flows; or (ii) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented.

Our non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are adjusted net earnings (loss) from continuing operations*, adjusted basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations*and adjusted EBITDA* (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization).

Adjusted net earnings (loss) from continuing operations* excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related social taxes, phantom RSU expense which represents expenses related to compensation units settled in cash based on the stock price at vesting, restructuring costs, acquisition-related and integration costs, government grants related to COVID-19 relief, CEO retirement/search, impairment, the ransomware incident, COVID-19 factory constraint incremental costs, certain other non-recurring costs or recoveries, acquisition-related amortization, the impact of foreign exchange gains or losses on translation of certain balance sheet accounts, foreign exchange gains or losses on forward contracts, and certain tax adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA* from continuing operations is defined as net earnings (loss) from continuing operations plus stock-based compensation expense and related social taxes, phantom RSU expense which represents expenses related to compensation units settled in cash based on the stock price at vesting, restructuring costs, acquisition-related and integration costs, government grants related to COVID-19 relief, CEO retirement/search, impairment, the ransomware incident, COVID-19 factory constraint incremental costs, certain other non-recurring costs or recoveries, amortization, interest and other income (expense), foreign exchange gains or losses on translation of certain balance sheet accounts, unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses on forward contracts, and income tax expense (recovery). Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes and is an important indicator of our operating performance and our ability to generate liquidity through operating cash flow that will fund future working capital needs and fund future capital expenditures.

We use the above-noted non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes and to allow us to assess the performance of our business before including the impacts of the items noted above as they affect the comparability of our financial results. These non-GAAP measures are reviewed regularly by management and the Board of Directors as part of the ongoing internal assessment of our operating performance.

We disclose these non-GAAP financial measures as we believe they provide useful information to investors and analysts to assist them in their evaluation of our operating results and to assist in comparisons from one period to another. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
