Q2 2018 Financial Results

Revenue in the second quarter of 2018 was $5.9 million, as compared to the year-ago record quarter of $7.5 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales to an OEM media and entertainment customer versus the year-ago quarter, and delay in the shipment of flash storage arrays that was anticipated in the second quarter of 2018 valued at approximately $1 million.

Gross margin decreased to 27.8% of revenue, as compared to 35.6% in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in applied labor and overhead for OSS of $278,000 which reduced overall margins by 4.9 percentage points. SkyScale contributed negative gross margin of $148,000 or 2.8 percentage points due to underutilization.

Operating expenses increased by $335,000 to $2.8 million or 47% of revenue as compared to $2.4 million or 32% of revenue in second quarter of 2017, primarily due to increased costs associated with the addition of the Ion Software development team and costs associated with being a public company.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders on a GAAP basis was $1.5 million or $(0.12) per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income attributable to common stockholders on a GAAP basis of $257,000 or $0.03 per diluted share in in the second quarter of 2017.

On a non-GAAP basis, net loss attributable to common stockholders was $724,000 or $(0.06) per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $457,000 or $0.05 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2017 (see definition of non-GAAP EPS and reconciliation to GAAP, below).

Adjusted EBITDA was negative $576,000, as compared to positive $609,000 in the same year-ago quarter (see definition of adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP term, and reconciliation to GAAP, below).

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $9.3 million at June 30, 2018 as compared to $186,000 at December 31, 2017. The increase is due to the proceeds from the company’s IPO on February 1. All outstanding notes, the balance of the company’s bank line of credit, and a significant portion of accounts payable were paid off from the proceeds, resulting in the company operating debt-free.

Management Commentary

“Our Q2 results were disappointing due to our military design-in ramp-up being rescheduled to Q3 and lower than expected revenues from our media and entertainment OEM,” said Steve Cooper, OSS president and CEO. “We are now on the cusp of a major growth phase with record revenues and profitability forecast for Q3 and Q4. The upcoming addition of CDI further enhances our short- and long-term outlook.”

2018 Guidance Update

Inclusive of CDI, revenue outlook is $10.0 million to $10.8 million in the third quarter and $13 million to $14.2 million in the fourth quarter. This represents revenue growth of 68% to 82% in the second half of 2018 versus the second half 2017. For the full year of 2018, revenue is anticipated to be between $36 million and $38 million.

 

2


The ramp-up of military flash array sales and the planned inclusion of CDI are anticipated to increase gross margins in the third and fourth quarter. These two periods are also expected to be highly profitable, with the full year 2018 coming in neutral to slightly profitable.

Quarterly revenue may fluctuate plus or minus 15% from the company’s plan in any given quarter due to variations in delivery.

About the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

OSS management believes that the use of non-GAAP earnings per share (“non-GAAP EPS”) is helpful to assess the company’s financial performance. Non-GAAP EPS is defined as net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders with an adjustment for amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and non-cash tax provision divided by the number of weighted average shares outstanding on a basic and diluted basis.

 

3


OSS management believes the use of adjusted EBITDA is also helpful to assessing the company’s financial performance. The company defines adjusted EBITDA as income before depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred gain and debt discount, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, and the provision for income taxes.

Non-GAAP EPS and adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or GAAP. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash operating expenses, management believes that providing a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes non-cash and non-recurring expenses allows for meaningful comparisons between the company’s core business operating results and those of other companies, as well as providing an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating the company’s own core business operating results over different periods of time.

The company’s non-GAAP EPS and adjusted EBITDA measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in the industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, or unusual items. The company’s non-GAAP EPS and adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or as an indication of operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. The company does not consider non-GAAP EPS or adjusted EBITDA to be substitutes for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results.
