DZS Files Q1 2024 Financial Results
August 20 2024 - 8:03AM
DZS (OTC: DZSI), a developer of Network Edge, Connectivity and
Cloud Software solutions enabling gigabit broadband everywhere,
today announced that it has filed its Q1 2024 financial results.
“As previously disclosed, we completed the restatements with
respect to 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, as well as the
reports for the remaining periods in 2023 and now completed the
delayed filing for Q1 2024,” said Charlie Vogt, President and CEO,
DZS. “Our priority throughout this process has been thoroughness
and accuracy.”
Vogt added, “During the first six months of 2024, we divested
our low margin Asia business, acquired NetComm’s fixed wireless,
fiber extension, IoT and broadband connectivity business and raised
approximately $40 million. On August 13, 2024, we filed our 2022
and 2023 GAAP financials and shortly we expect to provide non-GAAP
financials for 2022 and 2023 which will illustrate the adjustments
to bridge GAAP to non-GAAP. Today, we filed our Form 10-Q for Q1
2024 which reflects our former Asia business reported as
discontinued operations. Our Q1 2024 financial results do not
include our newly acquired NetComm business, which closed on June
1, 2024. Our priorities are aligning with customer requirements,
completing our numerous FTTx trials currently underway, converting
$31.8 million (exclusive of NetComm) of paid inventory as of March
31, 2024, to cash, executing on $102 million of scheduled backlog
and capitalizing on our encouraging sales pipeline.”
DZS is taking advantage of new opportunities fueled by the
accelerating demands of emerging applications, the industry
evolution moving bandwidth and intelligence closer to the network
edge and the operational requirements to deliver enhanced network
assurance for improving the subscriber experience. The Company
continues to advance its fiber, fixed wireless and AI-influenced
broadband solutions aligned with service providers spanning North
America, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Australia and
New Zealand (ANZ) while optimizing its operational cost.
“Q1 2024 represented an industry-wide pause in capital
investments due to an over-rotation of inventory by many service
providers and delays with government broadband stimulus programs,
including the United States Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment
(BEAD) Program,” said Misty Kawecki, CFO, DZS. “We are
in the final phase of optimizing our cost savings initiatives that
began in Q3 2023. We reduced operating expenses 33% in Q1 2024
compared to 2022. We are laser-focused on working through our $102
million of scheduled backlog, transitioning our numerous on-going
trials to orders, cultivating a robust sales pipeline and
converting our paid inventory to cash which, as of the end of Q1
2024 was $31.8 million, excluding any acquired inventory with
NetComm.”
DZS is now current with its Form 10-Q and 10-K filings with the
SEC through Q1 2024. The inability to file these reports prior to
August 5, 2024, was the reason for the Company’s suspension of
trading from Nasdaq and announced delisting notice.
Following the release of second quarter 2024 financial results,
DZS intends to host an earnings call to discuss restated results,
which will include all of 2022, 2023, the financial results for the
first and second quarters of 2024, and the divestiture of its Asia
business along with its recent acquisition of NetComm.
