TORONTO, May 7, 2018 /CNW/ - Baylin Technologies Inc. (TSX: BYL) (the "Company" or "Baylin"), a leading, diversified, global wireless technology management company focused on research, design, development, manufacturing and sales of passive and active radio frequency products and services, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2018. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS

Key highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2018 include the following:

  • The Company acquired the radio frequency, terrestrial microwave and antenna equipment divisions ("Advantech Wireless") of Advantech Wireless Inc. and certain of its affiliates.
  • Revenue grew to $29.4 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of $9.6 million or 48.7% over the first quarter of 2017.
  • Gross profit was $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of $4.6 million over the first quarter of 2017. Gross margin was 36% in the first quarter of 2018, improved by six percentage points compared to the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $1.45 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared to $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2017. Certain non-recurring and one-time expenses of $3.5 million were incurred in the first quarter of 2018, which were primarily related to the acquisition of Advantech Wireless.
  • Cash on hand at March 31, 2018 was $9.4 million, a reduction of $25.8 million from December 31, 2017. This decrease was primarily due to cash utilized for payment of a portion of the purchase price for Advantech Wireless and an increase in non-cash working capital.
  • The Company significantly strengthened the management team of its subsidiary, Advantech Wireless Technologies Inc., with the addition of John Restivo as President and Tony Radford as Vice President of Global Sales. Both Mr. Restivo and Mr. Radford have amassed thirty year careers in the satellite communications industry and will be instrumental in the Company's aggressive expansion plan for the Advantech Wireless line of business.
  • The Company's Embedded Antenna Group also strengthened its management team with the appointment of Simon Yang as Vice President of the engineering team in Tempe, Arizona and John Dakas as Vice President of Sales of the Embedded Antenna Group. Dr. Yang is a thirty year veteran of the wireless community and has made many contributions to the industry as a whole including system level active throughput optimization in product development which is now an industry standard process. Mr. Dakas brings a deep understanding of the embedded antenna industry to the Company and will provide important direction to the group as opportunities in the wireless marketplace continue to expand.
  • The Company's subsidiary, Galtronics Corporation Ltd., signed a manufacturing services agreement with Jabil Inc., a United States based global manufacturing services company with operations around the world. This new partnership was driven by the combination of current product backorders, demand for new base station antenna manufacturing of larger products and shorter delivery lead times required by the Company's customers in North America.

"Our first quarter of 2018 was very active and we are pleased with our accomplishments and financial results," stated Randy Dewey, Baylin's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We completed the acquisition of Advantech Wireless, bolstered the senior management teams of Galtronics and Advantech Wireless and signed a contract manufacturing agreement to accommodate the Company's growth plans."

"We are encouraged by the Company's organic revenue growth in the quarter and the contribution to revenue and profitability from Advantech Wireless," said Michael Wolfe, Baylin's Chief Financial Officer.
