VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - February 4, 2016 - Sierra Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW) today reported results for its fourth quarter and full year, ending December 31, 2015. 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.
“In 2015, we delivered year-over-year revenue growth of 10.8% to a record $607.8 million and our non-GAAP operating profit increased 42.0% to $32.4 million. We also completed three strategic managed connectivity acquisitions during the year, adding the technology, scale and talent to enable us to deliver fully integrated device-to-cloud solutions for our customers,” said Jason Cohenour, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In the fourth quarter of 2015, our revenue was slightly below our expectations, as we experienced softer demand at select OEM customers. We believe this reflects increased caution on the part of some customers in the face of an uncertain macro-economic environment. Notwithstanding the current environment, we expect our business to gain strength over the course of the year as we enter commercial production on a number of new customer programs, and continue to bring new industry-leading products and solutions to market."
In 2015, we significantly expanded our cloud and connectivity services business by successfully completing three managed connectivity acquisitions. As a result of these acquisitions and organizational changes designed to provide dedicated leadership and focus to our Enterprise Gateway and Cloud and Connectivity lines of businesses, we commenced operating the Company under three reportable segments, effective October 1, 2015. Our three reportable segments are: (i) OEM Solutions; (ii) Enterprise Solutions; and (iii) Cloud and Connectivity Services. Prior to October 1, our Enterprise Solutions segment included the business operations of both our Enterprise Gateways and our new Cloud and Connectivity Services segment. Comparative information for the Cloud and Connectivity Services segment is not disclosed as the related business prior to 2015 was not material.

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $144.8 million, a decrease of 2.8% compared to $149.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Revenue from OEM Solutions was $121.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, down 6.2% compared to $129.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Revenue from Enterprise Solutions was $16.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, down 15.3% compared to $19.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Revenue from Cloud and Connectivity Services was $6.8 million.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $113.1 million during 2015, reflecting the use of funds for the acquisitions of Wireless Maingate AB, Accel Networks LLC and MobiquiThings SAS in 2015, as well as the purchase of an end of life 2G component in sufficient volume to support future sales of certain legacy products.
We disclose non-GAAP financial measures as we believe they provide useful information on actual operating results and assist in comparisons from one period to another. 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 results exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related social taxes, acquisition-related costs, restructuring costs, integration costs, acquisition amortization, impairment, foreign exchange gains or losses on translation of balance sheet accounts, and certain tax adjustments.
Adjusted EBITDA as defined equates to earnings (loss) from operations plus stock-based compensation expense and related social taxes, acquisition-related costs, restructuring costs, integration costs, impairment, and amortization. The reconciliation between our GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying schedules.
Financial Guidance
For the full year 2016, we expect revenue to be in the range of $630 million to $670 million and non-GAAP earnings per share to be in the range of $0.60 to $0.90. In the first quarter of 2016, we expect revenue to be in the range of $135 million and $145 million and non-GAAP earnings per share to be slightly negative to slightly positive.
This non-GAAP guidance for 2016 reflects current business indicators and expectations. Inherent in this guidance are risk factors that are described in greater detail in our regulatory filings. Our actual results could differ materially from those presented above. All figures are approximations based on management's current beliefs and assumptions.
TSX Approval for Normal Course Issuer Bid
Sierra Wireless has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) of its Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the “Bid”).
Pursuant to the Bid, Sierra Wireless may purchase for cancellation up to 3,149,199 of its common shares (“Common Shares”), or approximately 9.7% of the Common Shares outstanding as of the date of this announcement (representing 10% of the public float). As of January 31, 2016, there were 32,340,186 Common Shares of Sierra Wireless issued and outstanding, and the public float consisted of 31,491,993 Common Shares.
The purchases will be made by Sierra Wireless through the facilities and in accordance with the rules of the TSX and Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 10b-18”), and the price which Sierra Wireless will pay for any such Common Shares will be the market price at the time of acquisition. Sierra Wireless will make no purchases of Common Shares other than open market purchases or other means approved by the TSX. Other than block purchases allowable under the TSX rules, purchases will be subject to a daily restriction of 22,269 Common Shares, being 25% of the average daily trading volume for the preceding six months. In addition, purchases of Common Shares through the facilities of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) will be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which contains similar restrictions on the number of shares that may be repurchased based on the average daily trading volumes of the Common Shares on Nasdaq, subject to certain exceptions for block purchases. In addition, purchases may also be made through other Canadian and U.S. marketplaces.
The actual number of Common Shares of the Company that are purchased for cancellation under the Bid, if any, and the timing of such purchases will be determined by the Company. The Board of Directors of Sierra Wireless
believes that the proposed purchases are in the best interests of Sierra Wireless and are a desirable use of corporate funds.
To the knowledge of the Company, no director, senior officer or other insider of Sierra Wireless currently intends to sell any Common Shares under this Bid. However, sales by such persons through the facilities of the TSX or Nasdaq may occur if the personal circumstances of any such person changes or any such person makes a decision unrelated to these normal course purchases. The benefits to any such person whose shares are purchased would be the same as the benefits available to all other holders whose shares are purchased.
The Bid will commence on February 9, 2016 and will terminate on the earlier of: (i) February 8, 2017, (ii) the date Sierra Wireless completes its purchases pursuant to the notice of intention filed with the TSX, or (iii) the date of notice by Sierra Wireless of termination of the Bid. The Company has not made any purchases of Common Shares pursuant to a normal course issuer bid within the previous 12 months.
Board and Board Committee Changes
The Board of Directors of the Company today appointed Kent Thexton as Chair of the Board of Directors to succeed Charles Levine who will continue to serve as an independent Director. “On behalf of all Board members, I would like to thank Charles for his dedicated leadership during his 10 years of service as Chair of the Board of Directors”, said Mr. Thexton. In conjunction with the appointment of Mr. Thexton as Board Chair and as part of an overall initiative to enhance Board effectiveness, the following Board Committee Chair appointments are being announced: Greg Aasen will become Chair of the Human Resources Committee succeeding Mr. Thexton; Robin Abrams will become Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee succeeding Paul Cataford; and Mr. Cataford will become Chair of the Audit Committee succeeding Ms. Abrams. Mr. Thexton’s appointment is effective February 5, 2016 with the committee chairs transitioning their roles as the various scheduled Board committee meetings occur during the month of February.
