Telular Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results
- Total Recurring Service Revenue Up 14% Year-Over-Year
- Company Reports Adjusted Net Income before Non-Cash Items of $2.2 Million
- Company Declares Regular Quarterly Dividend of $0.10 Per Share
- Company Reaffirms Fiscal 2011 Guidance
CHICAGO, IL USA—Telular Corporation (NASDAQ: WRLS), a global leader in connecting businesses and machines over wireless networks, today announced financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011. In the second quarter 2011, Telular reported revenue of $12.5 million and pre-tax income of $1.5 million.
For the second quarter of 2011, net income before non-cash items was $2.2 million. Net income before non-cash items is a non-GAAP measure that adds back depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and non-cash deferred tax provision to net income. For further information, see the reconciliation of this measure to net income in accordance with GAAP, on the last page of this press release.
As part of the Company’s current dividend policy, Telular also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share on its common stock, payable May 23, 2011, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 16, 2011.
In the second quarter of 2011, total recurring service revenue from both the Telguard and TankLink lines of business increased 14% over the prior year period to $7.8 million.
Total Telguard sales were $10.0 million in the second quarter. During the quarter, Telular sold 21,300 Telguard units and activated 20,700 new Telguard subscribers. The total number of Telguard subscribers decreased sequentially from 571,500 to approximately 568,600, while average revenue per unit, or ARPU, increased sequentially from $4.04 to $4.08. The decline in total subscribers was the effect of a continuing account reconciliation project by a major customer which resulted in the deactivation of a significant number of units. Importantly, these deactivated units generate a lower ARPU and margin than the overall customer base due to the high volume pricing discounts provided to this significant customer.
Total TankLink sales in the second quarter were up over 189% to $1.5 million from $520,000 in the prior year period. TankLink service revenues increased 129% over the prior year period from $352,000 to $805,000, and the period ended with 19,900 billable tanks generating an ARPU of $12.45. The Company sold over 1,300 tank monitoring units, which generated TankLink product revenues of $711,000.
“We are pleased with our second quarter results – posting solid revenue growth and improved profitability,” commented Joe Beatty, president and chief executive officer of Telular Corporation. “Telguard unit sales are tracking in-line with our sales guidance and we are excited about the growth in our TankLink business, as we are now earning higher recurring revenue and are seeing improved operating cash flow margins. This quarter, we declared our regular quarterly dividend and are optimistic we can continue to deliver a steady cash flow stream and increasing shareholder value,” concluded Mr. Beatty.
“Our recurring revenue model and strong balance sheet continue to provide us with optimism and clear visibility into our business,” added Jonathan Charak, chief financial officer of Telular Corporation. “We remain confident in our ability to drive growth and profitability in our Telguard and TankLink businesses, and we are reaffirming our guidance for fiscal 2011 net income before non-cash items of $8.5 - $9.5 million.”
During the quarter, the Company paid shareholders a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock. The total amount of cash paid to shareholders was $1.5 million.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
We use net income before non-cash items as an additional measure of our operating performance. This measure is not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles. The reconciliation below demonstrates how we calculate this measure from our financial statements.

Net income before non-cash items should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. While we believe that net income before non-cash items, as defined above, is useful within the context described above, it is in fact incomplete and not a measure that should be used to evaluate the full performance of Telular Corporation. Such evaluation needs to consider all of the complexities associated with our business, including, but not limited to, how past actions are affecting current results and how they may affect future results, how we have chosen to finance the business and how regulations and other aforementioned items affect the final amounts that are or will be available to shareholders as a return on their investment. Net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP is the most complete measure available today to evaluate all elements of our performance.
