Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Total Revenues

Three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2015 were $27.3 million, a decrease of 15.5 % from $32.3 million for the corresponding period of 2014.

Total Non-GAAP revenues for the third quarter of 2015 were $26.8 million, a decrease of 17.0% from $32.3 million for the corresponding period of 2014.

  • Non-GAAP net sales from equipment for the third quarter of 2015 were $21.1 million, a decrease of 20.2% from $26.5 million for the corresponding period in 2014. The decrease was mainly due to 1) a strategic reduction of the lower margin value added Third Party Sales (“TPS”) by more than $3.0 million in Japan; and 2) more than $2.0 million Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (“GEPON”) revenues in China in the third quarter of 2014.
     
  • Non-GAAP net sales from equipment-based services for the third quarter of 2015 were $5.7 million, a decrease of 2.2% from $5.8 million for the corresponding period in 2014.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

Total revenues for the first nine months of 2015 were $91.0 million, a decrease of 5.7% from $96.5 million for the corresponding period of 2014.

Total Non-GAAP revenues for the first nine months of 2015 were $75.9 million, a decrease of 21.3% from $96.5 million for the corresponding period of 2014.

  • Non-GAAP net sales from equipment for the first nine months of 2015 were $58.4 million, a decrease of 25.0% from $77.9 million for the corresponding period in 2014. The decrease was mainly due to GEPON last-time buy completed in 2014 and the reduction of TPS sales partially offset by the increased sales of the Packet Optical Transport Network (“PTN”) product line.
     
  • Non-GAAP net sales from equipment-based services for the first nine months of 2015 were $17.5 million, a decrease of 5.4% from $18.5 million for the corresponding period in 2014.The decrease was mainly due to the decline in Multi-Service Access Network (“MSAN”) product related service in India.

Gross Profit

Three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

Gross profit was $6.1 million, or 22.3% of net sales, for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $7.7 million, or 23.9% of net sales, for the corresponding period in 2014.

Non-GAAP gross profit was $6.1 million, or 22.8% of net sales, for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $7.7 million or 24.0% of net sales, for the corresponding period in 2014.

  • Non-GAAP gross profit for equipment sales for the third quarter of 2015 was $5.2 million, a decrease of 26.0% from $7.1 million for the corresponding period in 2014. Non-GAAP gross margin for equipment sales for the third quarter of 2015 was 24.9%, compared to 26.8% for the corresponding period in 2014. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the reduction of the lower margin TPS sales in the third quarter of 2015 and MSAN last-time buy with higher margin in the third quarter of 2014 in Japan.
  • Non-GAAP gross profit for equipment-based services for the third quarter of 2015 was $0.9 million, compared to gross profit of $0.7 million for the corresponding period in 2014. Non-GAAP gross margin for equipment-based services for the third quarter of 2015 was 15.0%, compared to 11.2% for the corresponding period in 2014. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily caused by the reduction of India MSAN product related service with lower margin.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

Gross profit was $20.0 million, or 22.0% of net sales, for the first nine months of 2015, compared to $18.7 million, or 19.4% of net sales, for the corresponding period in 2014.

Non-GAAP gross margin for equipment sales for the first nine months of 2015 was 25.5%, compared to 23.7% for the corresponding period in 2014. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily caused by the favorable mix of relatively high margin PTN products sales in Japan.
     
  • Non-GAAP gross profit for equipment-based services for the first nine months of 2015 was negative $1.2 million, compared to gross profit of $0.3 million for the corresponding period in 2014. Non-GAAP gross margin for equipment-based services for the first nine months of 2015 was negative 7.1%, compared to 1.8% for the corresponding period in 2014. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily caused by relatively high India MSAN product related service cost in the first quarter and second quarter of 2015.

  • Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses in the first nine months of 2015 were $17.4 million, compared to $17.1 million for the corresponding period in 2014.

  • Non-GAAP research and development expenses in the first nine months of 2015 were $8.8 million, compared to $7.8 million for the corresponding period in 2014. The increase was mainly due to merge of product marketing team and R&D team into Product Development Department (PDD).

UTStarcom Holdings Corp.  
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations  
                 
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, UTStarcom uses certain non-GAAP measures which are adjusted to present those metrics as if stock compensation expenses, one-time India DoT related and China IPTV- related deferred revenue amortization had been excluded in prior years comparatives. We believe this enables year over year comparisons to our recent financial results. These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of UTStarcom’s underlying results and trends. In addition, these adjusted non-GAAP results are among the information management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
