EXHIBIT 99.1
 

PCTEL Reports Second Quarter Financial Results

PCTEL achieves second quarter revenues of $20.6 million and gross profit margin of 49.1%

BLOOMINGDALE, Illinois – August 8, 2023 – PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCTI) (“PCTEL” or the “Company”), a leading global provider of wireless technology solutions, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Highlights

David Neumann, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We continue to execute our three strategies for growth and are encouraged to see improvements in overall customer demand in the second quarter. We are addressing industry headwinds that include excessive inventory at some OEMs and customer supply chain constraints that impact the short-term need for some of our antenna products. We expect that market conditions will improve through the second half of the year as OEM customers work to decrease their higher than normal inventories and supply chains continue to improve. PCTEL is well positioned in our target markets to grow as market conditions improve, and we look forward to driving growth for years to come.”

Second quarter 2023 revenues were $20.6 million, a decrease of 17.6% from the year ago period. Second quarter 2023 antennas and Industrial IoT device revenue was $14.4 million, a decrease of 18.2% year-over-year, primarily due to customers’ supply chain challenges which continued to delay previously planned projects. Second quarter 2023 test & measurement revenue was $6.2 million, a decrease of 16.2% year-over-year due to a sector slowdown following a particularly strong first quarter and notable strength in the year ago period.

Second quarter 2023 GAAP gross profit margin was 49.1%, compared to 45.8% in the second quarter of 2022. The higher gross profit margin was due to stronger gross margins within antennas and Industrial IoT devices as a result of positive mix shift and improving supply chain conditions.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter decreased to $1.7 million compared to $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Second quarter 2023 GAAP net income was $1.0 million or diluted earnings per share of $0.05 compared to GAAP net income of $0.4 million or $0.02 per share in the second quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP net income was $1.4 million, or $0.07 diluted earnings per share, compared to $1.8 million or $0.10 per share in the second quarter of 2022.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $33.6 million as of June 30, 2023, an increase of approximately $3.4 million as compared to March 31, 2023. Reductions in inventories and accounts receivable contributed to the increase in cash and investments during the second quarter.

Third Quarter 2023 Outlook

The following ranges represent PCTEL’s current expectations for the third quarter 2023 based upon available data and estimates.

Kevin McGowan, Chief Financial Officer, explained, “We are pleased with the profitable performance of the business over the first half of 2023. For the third quarter of 2023, we anticipate revenues to be in the range of $20.0 million to $21.0 million, with similar performance for both test & measurement and antennas and Industrial IoT devices as in the second quarter. Additionally, we expect non-GAPP gross profit margin to be in the range of 48% to 49%, and our non-GAAP earnings per share to be in the range of $0.06 to $0.07. PCTEL remains well positioned to deliver for our customers and shareholders.”
