SMSI Smith Micro Software Inc

Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI), today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

“The launch of our SafePath® Family platform by a Tier 1 wireless operator in the U.S. announced earlier this month marked a significant milestone on our path back to growth and profitability,” said William W. Smith, Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro Software. “We expect to see a positive impact from this deployment on our revenue starting in the fourth quarter and building into fiscal 2018, as their user base converts and scales.

“I am pleased with the current strength of the Company, which reflects the restructuring we undertook earlier this year and our recent financings that significantly improved our balance sheet. We are focused on building upon this success, and remain excited and confident as we execute on the opportunities in front of us.”

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company considers and has included in this press release certain non-GAAP financial measures, including a non-GAAP reconciliation of gross profit, income (loss) before taxes, net income (loss), and earnings (loss) per share in the presentation of financial results in this press release. Management believes this non-GAAP presentation may be more meaningful in analyzing our income generation and therefore has excluded the following non-cash items from GAAP earnings calculations: stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, fair value adjustments, and debt issuance and discount costs. Additionally, since we are in a cumulative loss position, a non-GAAP income tax benefit was computed using a 38 percent tax rate using the Company’s normalized combined U.S. federal, state, and foreign statutory tax rates less various tax adjustments. This presentation may be considered more indicative of our ongoing operational performance. The table below presents the differences between non-GAAP earnings and net loss on an absolute and per-share basis. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and the non-financial measures as reported by Smith Micro Software may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
