$(1.2) million or $(0.05) per share for the three months ended

reflects certain performance-based vesting thresholds achieved
under the Company’s Performance Share Unit Plan.

include foreign exchange loss of $(0.1) million or $(0.00) per

exchange loss of $(1.2) million or $(0.05) per share for the three
months ended December 31, 2020.
“Vecima’s momentum accelerated to the next level in the second
quarter as surging demand for our industry-leading Entra
Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) and MediaScaleX IPTV
solutions drove year-over-year organic sales growth of 47% and
resulted in consolidated revenue of $43.6 million, the best
quarterly sales result in Vecima’s 33-year history,” said Sumit
Kumar, Vecima’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Our phenomenal top-line performance carried through with
leverage to our bottom line, with second quarter adjusted EBITDA
nearly tripling year-over-year to $7.4 million or 17.1% of sales,
gross profit climbing 48% to $21.8 million, and adjusted earnings
per share growing to $0.06. These are significant achievements that
reflect not only the rapidly growing demand for our next-generation
products, but also our disciplined approach to OpEx, inventory and
supply chain management in a period of supply challenges
never-before-seen across the tech sector.”
“As anticipated, second quarter results were led by our Video
and Broadband Solutions segment and a record quarter for our Entra
DAA portfolio,” added Mr. Kumar. “Despite ongoing supply chain
hurdles, Entra revenue grew 130% year-over-year to $18.5 million as
we continued to deploy with a growing roster of Tier 1, 2, and 3
customers. A wide array of broadband service providers have begun
their transition to Distributed Access Architecture, with Vecima’s
pioneering and market-leading DAA technology underpinning the
evolution to the multi-gigabit broadband internet era. Our Content
Delivery and Storage segment added to the momentum, setting a new
quarterly segment record of $15.0 million on robust demand across
the full MediaScaleX IPTV product family.”
“While it was already a ground-breaking quarter for Vecima, I
want to emphasize that the cable and broadcast industries are still
in the early stages of the transformative shift to Distributed
Access Architecture and IPTV. We see significantly greater growth
potential ahead, including multiple investment cycles for our
industry-leading platforms. Accordingly, as we begin to capture the
rewards of the first wave of network transformations, we are
already investing in the next. This includes not only the numerous
new products and feature enhancements we introduced in the second
quarter, but also importantly, future-defining advancements we are
making, such as our recent DOCSIS 4.0 milestone with Charter
Communications. We demonstrated industry-first and leading
multi-gigabit symmetrical broadband speeds over widely-deployed and
highly-leverageable coaxial cable infrastructure, making 10G a
reality.”
“I am pleased to report that we ended the second half in very
strong financial shape, with $10.3 million of cash, working capital
of $42.5 million, and virtually no debt. Our strong balance sheet,
strategic investment in growth inventory, and available liquidity
positions us to continue supporting our rapid growth and
next-generation technology development as we pursue the truly
outstanding opportunities in the worldwide DAA and IPTV markets,”
said Mr. Kumar.

million, a quarter-over-quarter increase of 178%

million in the prior-year period and an increase of 121%
sequentially from $6.8 million in Q1 fiscal 2022

Demand (VOD) network with Vecima’s MediaScaleX, offering a

IPTV video delivery solution and accelerate the next-generation TV
experience to its subscribers
- In January 2022, successfully completed interoperability tests
for MediaScaleX as part of the Streaming Video Alliance (SVA) Open

quality, working with Vecima’s customers and their over 100 million
subscribers worldwide

as municipal government and moveable asset customers

with number of moveable assets being monitored rising significantly
to over 16,000 units
- Achieved trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA of $1.95M and
adjusted EBITDA margin of 35%
“As we move into the second half, we see a continued escalation
of the high demand for our products, tempered only by the
constraints of ongoing worldwide supply chain issues and materials
shortages,” said Mr. Kumar.
“With the industry’s strongest and most relevant portfolio of
DAA and cable access solutions, expanding relationships with 80
cable operators worldwide, and a growing volume of customer
purchase orders and forecasts providing excellent and high demand
visibility, we expect Entra family product orders to continue to
build through the balance of the year and remain our leading sales
generator in fiscal 2022.”
“In our Content Delivery and Storage segment, demand for our
IPTV solutions remains robust and we anticipate another strong
quarter in Q3. On a full-year basis, we continue to anticipate high
single-digit to low double-digit sales growth from this segment in
fiscal 2022.”
“We once again reiterate our caution that the significant
current global supply chain challenges could temper our growth and
margin potential in the near-term. However, the opportunities in
both the DAA and IPTV markets are enormous and Vecima is
exceptionally well-positioned to capitalize on them over an
expected multi-year cycle of investment into the broadband access
network,” concluded Mr. Kumar.
As previously reported, Vecima’s Board of Directors declared a
quarterly dividend of $0.055 per share for the period. The dividend
will be payable on March 28, 2022 to shareholders of record as at
February 25, 2022.
