SARASOTA, Fla., Nov. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- xG Technology, Inc. ("xG" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: XGTI, XGTIW), a leading provider of wireless video solutions to broadcast, law enforcement and defense markets, and private mobile broadband networks for critical communications, announced its third quarter 2017 results. All results are reported in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), except as otherwise indicated below. Management will hold a conference call to discuss the results on Wednesday, November 15, 2017, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. (details below).
Key Recent Accomplishments by xG Businesses
George Schmitt, CEO and Chairman of the Board of xG Technology, said, "During the third quarter, our businesses continued to solidify their positions as leading providers of wireless video solutions for electronic news gathering, sports and entertainment, and law enforcement applications. Our third quarter revenues were negatively impacted by delays in the receipt of key components for several of our new products, for which we have received significant pre-orders. While this resulted in over $2 million in orders not being shipped in the period, it has upwardly revised our Q4 2017 revenue forecast to approximately $20 million, which would be a record for the Company. This puts us in range for achieving our previous revenue guidance of approximately $55 million for calendar year 2017, with positive adjusted EBITDA for the year."
Roger Branton, CFO and co-founder of xG Technology, said, "We are pleased to report that we had record third quarter revenue of $10.2 million and a record $33.7 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2017. An adverse movement in the British Pound to US Dollar exchange rate reduced revenues by approximately $188,000, otherwise revenue was $10.4 million for the quarter. We ended the nine months September 30, 2017 with $4.7 million in cash, positive adjusted cash flow from operations and a continued improvement in working capital."
Mr. Branton continued, "Our year to date results include significant one-time charges related to purchase price amortization, acquisition related expenses and restructuring expenses. When these are excluded from our results, we reported positive net income of $13 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $15.1 million."
GAAP RESULTS
NON-GAAP RESULTS
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We disclose non-GAAP financial measures as we believe they provide useful information on actual operating
performance. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Non-GAAP gross margin excludes the impact of purchase price amortization on the step up of assets as a result of the bargain purchase gain and the impact of foreign exchange gains or losses.
Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations excludes the impact of purchase price amortization related to the Vislink acquisition, acquisition-related expenses and restructuring expenses.
We use the above-noted non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes and to allow us to assess the performance of our business before including the impacts of the items noted above as they affect the comparability of our financial results. These non-GAAP measures are reviewed regularly by management and the Board of Directors as part of the ongoing internal assessment of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus purchase price amortization, acquisition-related expense, restructuring expense, depreciation and amortization, foreign exchange gains or losses and interest expense.
Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes and we believe that it is an important indicator of our operating performance.
