KVH Industries Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results
MIDDLETOWN, RI, December 6, 2022 — KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI), reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 today. The company will hold a conference call to discuss these results at 9:00 a.m. ET today, which can be accessed at investors.kvh.com. Following the call, a replay of the webcast will be available through the company’s website.
Third Quarter 2022 Highlights
•We disposed of our inertial navigation business in the third quarter of 2022, which generated a gain of $30.9 million before tax. Reflecting this gain and the results of these discontinued operations, net income for the third quarter of 2022 amounted to $29.6 million, and diluted EPS was $1.58.
•Total revenues from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2022 were $35.2 million, up 2% from $34.4 million in the third quarter of 2021.
•Our mini-VSAT Broadband airtime revenue increased $2.1 million, to $26.7 million, or 8%, in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021, partially due to a 4% increase in subscribers despite the shutdown of our legacy network on December 31, 2021.
•Net loss from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2022 was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $3.7 million, or $0.20 per share, in the third quarter of 2021. Net income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2021 reflects other income of $7.0 million resulting from the forgiveness of all principal and interest for the loan we received in May 2020 under the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program.
•Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations were $4.1 million and income of $0.07 per share in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $0.8 million and a loss of $0.07 per share in the third quarter of 2021.
Commenting on the quarter, Brent C. Bruun, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “In March, we embarked on a comprehensive restructuring initiative to build a healthy foundation for KVH’s continued growth. These efforts are working, as we successfully reduced our recurring operating expenses roughly 15% from the third quarter of 2021 while increasing our revenue, achieving record airtime gross margins, and moving us closer to our goal of sustained profitability.
“Following the third quarter sale of our inertial navigation assets, we are now focused entirely on our core business of mobile connectivity. We’ve made significant progress in this area as we grew our airtime base to more than 6,800 airtime subscribers. We also launched our new TracNet H-series terminals and KVH ONE hybrid network and won a competitive bid for a five-year contract with the U.S. Coast Guard, which renewed our existing relationship and is worth up to $69 million.”

Third Quarter Financial Summary
Revenue was $35.2 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 2% compared to $34.4 million in the third quarter of 2021.
Product revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were $6.6 million, a decrease of 3%. The decrease in product sales was primarily due to a $0.4 million decrease in VSAT product sales and a $0.2 million decrease in TV land-based product sales, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in marine TV product sales.
Service revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were $28.5 million, an increase of $1.0 million. The increase in service sales was primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in our mini-VSAT Broadband service sales, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in our content service sales primarily driven by the sale of a subsidiary in April 2022.
Our operating expenses decreased $1.6 million to $14.0 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $15.7 million for the third quarter of 2021. This decrease resulted primarily from a $1.1 million decrease in professional fees and a $0.2 million decrease in amortization expense.
Nine Months Ended September 30 Financial Summary
Revenue was $102.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 4% compared to $98.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Product revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $19.8 million, a decrease of 9% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in product sales was primarily driven by a $1.5 million decrease in VSAT product sales and a $0.5 million decrease in TV land-based product sales.
Service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $83.1 million, an increase of 8% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in service sales was primarily due to a $7.5 million increase in our mini-VSAT Broadband service sales, partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in content service sales primarily driven by the sale of a subsidiary in April 2022.
Our operating expenses decreased $3.5 million to $46.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $49.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease resulted primarily from a $4.1 million decrease in professional fees, a $1.6 million decrease in salaries, benefits and taxes (excluding costs associated with the March 2022 reduction in workforce, stock compensation and executive retention), a $0.5 million decrease in amortization expense, and a $0.4 million decrease in stock compensation expenses including stock modifications, and a $0.4 million decrease in external commission expense. The decrease in professional fees was driven by a $3.1 million decrease in event-driven legal and advisory fees, primarily arising from a stockholder’s nomination of a competing slate of directors at our annual meeting of stockholders in 2021. This decrease in expenses was partially offset by additional costs of $1.7 million related to the reduction in our workforce in March 2022, a $0.7 million increase in warranty expense, a $0.6 million increase in recruiting expenses, which was driven by professional fees associated with the search for a new Chief Executive Officer and replacements for two recently departed members of our board of directors, $0.5 million increase in expenses related to the separation and retirement of Mr. Kits van Heyningen in March 2022 and $0.5 million increase in compensation expense related to executive retention agreements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release provides non-GAAP financial information, which may include constant-currency revenue, non-GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations, non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, as a supplement to our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing financial results to assess operational performance. Constant-currency revenue is calculated on the basis of local currency results, using foreign currency exchange rates applicable to the earlier comparative period, and management believes that presenting information on a constant-currency basis helps management and investors to isolate the impact of changes in those rates from other factors. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release adjust for specified items that can be highly variable or difficult to predict. Management generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of our historical operating results, comparison to competitors’ operating results, and determination of management incentive compensation. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.
Some limitations of non-GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations, non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, include the following:
•Non-GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations and diluted EPS from continuing operations exclude, as applicable, amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, employee termination and other non-recurring costs, CEO separation costs, transaction-related and other variable legal and advisory fees, PPP loan forgiveness, non-recurring inventory reserve, gain on sale of a subsidiary, foreign exchange transaction gains and losses, the tax effect of the foregoing and certain discrete tax charges, including changes in our valuation allowance and other tax adjustments.
•Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations represents net income (loss) before, as applicable, income taxes, interest income, net, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, employee termination and other non-recurring costs, CEO separation costs, transaction-related and other variable legal and advisory fees, PPP loan forgiveness, non-recurring inventory reserve, gain on sale of a subsidiary, and foreign exchange transaction gains and losses.
Other companies, including companies in KVH’s industry, may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which will reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that increase or decrease our reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this release.
