PT Announces First Quarter 2012 Financial Results

 

“Second Consecutive Quarterly GAAP Profit”

 

ROCHESTER, NY – May 8, 2012 – PT (NASDAQ: PTIX), a leading global supplier of advanced network communications, today announced its financial results for the first quarter 2012.

 

Revenue in the first quarter 2012 amounted to $8.4 million, compared to $9.7 million in the first quarter 2011. 

 

GAAP net income in the first quarter 2012 amounted to $.3 million, or $.03 per diluted share, based on 11.1 million shares outstanding, including stock compensation expense of $.01 per share and amortization of purchased intangible assets of $.03 per share.  The Company incurred a net GAAP loss in the first quarter 2011 amounting to ($1.1 million), or ($.10) per basic share, based on 11.1 million shares outstanding, including restructuring charges of $.01 per share, stock compensation expense of $.01 per share and amortization of purchased intangible assets of $.02 per share. 

 

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company had net income in the first quarter 2012 amounting to $0.6 million, or $.06 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($0.3 million), or ($.03) per basic share in the first quarter 2011.  Please refer to the reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures contained in this release.

 

On March 31, 2012, the Company’s working capital position was $19.6 million including cash and investments amounting to $15.5 million, and the Company had no long-term debt.

 

“We are very pleased to report GAAP profitability for the second consecutive quarter,” said John Slusser, president and chief executive officer.  “As we look forward throughout 2012 and beyond, we believe our strategic plan to further leverage our substantial technology assets and expertise, specifically as applied to Next-Generation Network solutions, directly targets evolving market trends that offer meaningful long-term growth opportunities for our Company.  This strategic focus is clearly epitomized by the recent announcement of our Universal Diameter Router product offering, a very meaningful further evolution of our SEGway Signaling Solutions portfolio.  In the near term, we will continue to cautiously navigate the ongoing limited visibility and business predictability challenges of the current economic climate.”

 

More in-depth discussions of the Company's strategy and financial performance can be found in the Company's periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for certain forward-looking statements.  This press release contains forward-looking statements which reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the safe harbor provisions of those Sections.  The Company’s future operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties and could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements and may be affected by various trends and factors which are beyond the Company’s control.  These risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, business and economic conditions, rapid technological changes accompanied by frequent new product introductions, competitive pressures, dependence on key customers, inability to gauge order flows from customers, fluctuations in quarterly and annual results, the reliance on a limited number of third party suppliers, limitations of PT’s manufacturing capacity and arrangements, the protection of PT’s proprietary technology, errors or defects in our products, the effects of pending or threatened litigation, the dependence on key personnel, changes in critical accounting estimates, potential impairments related to investments, foreign regulations, possible loss or significant curtailment of significant government contracts or subcontracts, and potential material weaknesses in internal control over financial reportingIn addition, during weak or uncertain economic periods, customers’ visibility deteriorates causing delays in the placement of their orders.  These factors often result in a substantial portion of PT’s revenue being derived from orders placed within a quarter and shipped in the final month of the same quarter.  Forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent audited Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes thereto, Risk Factors, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company, as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Management utilizes a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, in making operating decisions and forecasting and planning for future periods.  We also consider the use of the non-GAAP financial measures to be helpful in assessing various aspects of our business operations.

 

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered a substitute for the corresponding GAAP financial information and should not be considered in isolation from measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial information. 

A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures is included herein.

(b)  Stock-based compensation costs - a non-cash expense incurred in accordance with share-based compensation accounting guidance.

(c)  Restructuring costs - costs incurred as a result of restructuring activities taken to bring operating expenses more in line with expected revenues.
