Financial Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2013 Ended December 31, 2012

Net revenue was $12.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, an increase of $1.7 million or 16%, compared to $10.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and an increase of $1.0 million or 9%, compared to $11.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. In large part, the sequential and year-over-year revenue growth was due to increased unit sales of our xPrintServer and SLC console server product families.

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 49.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to 48.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and 48.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Operating expenses were $6.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $6.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and increased by $0.5 million or 9%, compared to $5.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The sequential change in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses related to a marketing plan we initiated in November 2012 to drive sales growth and brand awareness for the xPrintServer product family.

GAAP net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $(412,000), or ($0.03) per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $(1.4 million), or ($0.13) per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and a GAAP net loss of $(430,000), or ($0.03) per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $70,000, or $0.00 per share compared to non-GAAP net loss of $(629,000) or $(0.06) per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and non-GAAP net income of $48,000, or $0.00 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 were $8.5 million, compared to $11.4 million as of June 30, 2012. The decrease in cash was primarily due to an increase in inventory from $6.0 million as of June 30, 2012 to $9.7 million as of December 31, 2012 to support buffer stock and anticipated customer demand.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Lantronix believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information, when presented in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the company's financial condition and results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management believes that non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share are important measures of the company's business. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance.

Non-GAAP operating expenses consist of operating expenses excluding (i) share-based compensation and related payroll taxes (ii) depreciation and amortization, and (iii) restructuring charges.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) consists of net income (loss) excluding (i) non-GAAP adjustments to operating expenses, (ii) interest income (expense), (iii) other income (expense), and (iv) income tax provision (benefit).

Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted). For purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, the calculation of GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted) is adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, which for GAAP purposes is treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.
