Netlist Reports Full Year And Fourth Quarter 2016 Results

As of December 31, 2016, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $12.6 million, total assets were $20.0 million, working capital was $13.0 million, total debt, net of debt discounts, and accrued interest was $14.4 million, and stockholders' deficit was ($0.5) million.

"We delivered improved financial performance in 2016, highlighted by substantial revenue growth. Our more diversified revenue stems from our Joint Development Agreement with Samsung which included Non-Recurring Engineering Fees (NRE) to support the development of HybriDIMM, our plug and play storage class memory technology, and unique access to Samsung's enterprise-grade, memory products for resale," said C.K. Hong, Netlist's Chief Executive Officer. "During the year we took significant steps toward defending our valuable intellectual property by commencing legal actions against SK hynix at the ITC and in the federal district court based on the infringement of Netlist patents. We are seeking, among other things, a ban on the importation of infringing SK hynix server memory products and look forward to the opportunity to present our case in the ITC at trial in May." 

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are described below under the heading "Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure net income (loss) below under the heading "Unaudited Schedule Reconciling GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA." Adjusted EBITDA was ($3.8) million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to adjusted EBITDA of ($1.4) million for the prior year period.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain of the information set forth herein, including EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization), may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. Netlist believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring Netlist's available capital resources, the operating performance of Netlist's business and Netlist's cash flow, excluding net interest expense, provisions for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and net other  expense that would normally be included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Netlist's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating Netlist's operating performance, capital resources and cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-financial measures as reported by Netlist may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA loss is a non-GAAP measure in which the net interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and net other (income) expense are added back to the GAAP basis loss. The non-GAAP measures are described above and are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure in the condensed consolidated financial statements portion of this release under the heading "Unaudited Schedule Reconciling GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA."
