Irvine, Calif., October 29, 2015 – Lantronix, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LTRX) a specialized networking company providing smart IoT and M2M solutions, today reported results for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015.
Quarterly Financial Highlights
| · | Net revenue of $10.6 million |
| · | Gross profit margin of 47.9% |
| · | GAAP net loss of $331,000 or $0.02 per share |
| · | Non-GAAP net income of $124,000 or $0.01 per share |

“We were pleased to achieve sequential topline growth and a return to non-GAAP profitability during the first fiscal quarter,” said Kurt Busch, Lantronix president and CEO. “New Products continued to make significant revenue contribution during the quarter, in particular our xPico Wi-Fi IoT module and SLC 8000 advanced console server.”
Busch continued: “Year-over-year results continue to be impacted by declining sales of Legacy Products. At the same time, with a pipeline of New Product opportunities and design wins, new platforms and solutions expected to launch over the next several quarters, and an expanding sales channel, we remain confident that our strategy will yield double-digit New Product revenue growth in fiscal 2016.”
Operational and Product Highlights for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2016:
| § | Lantronix SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Server was selected by a new Tier One customer deploying a networking lab automation and test solution. The SLC 8000 was chosen because it is the first and only modular advanced console server supporting both USB and RS232 (RJ45) device modules and is designed to provide scalable, highly secure next-generation data center and IT infrastructure management capabilities. |
| § | Completed delivery of the first significant production order for a consumer drone application using the xPico® Wi-Fi IoT Module. The xPico Wi-Fi is ideally suited to enable the Internet of Things in a wide range of verticals such as environmental monitoring, entertainment, security, and other industrial and consumer applications. |
| § | Expanded the available market for the SLC 8000 by obtaining FIPS 140-2 Level 1 certification. FIPS 140-2 is a security standard for IT systems that is mandatory for many U.S. and Canadian government and military applications and also is increasingly becoming a requirement for financial services and healthcare applications. |
| § | Launched the next generation xPrintServer® Office edition, the only print server appliance that supports thousands of printer models and is both Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print certified. In July 2015, the Apple Online store began carrying the newest xPrintServer Office edition. |
| § | Yesterday, the Company announced the signing of a distribution agreement with Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT) – a $27 billion leading technology distributor. Under terms of the agreement, Avnet will distribute Lantronix’s IoT-enabling modules and solutions throughout North and South America. |

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Lantronix believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information, when presented in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management believes that non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share are important measures of the Company’s business. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance.
Non-GAAP net income (loss) consists of net income (loss) excluding (i) non-GAAP adjustments to operating expenses, (ii) interest income (expense), (iii) other income (expense), and (iv) income tax provision (benefit).
Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted). For purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, the calculation of GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted) is adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, which for GAAP purposes is treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.
