Digi International Reports Second Fiscal Quarter 2012 Results

(Minneapolis, MN, April 26, 2012)—Digi International® Inc. (NASDAQ: DGII, www.digi.com) reported revenue of $49.0 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2012, compared with $49.7 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2011, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 1.4%. Net income was $2.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the second fiscal quarter of 2012 compared to $2.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the year ago comparable quarter.

“We are disappointed with our most recent quarter financial results that were impacted by lower than expected revenue from our new business pipeline, particularly in the energy sector. We also experienced lower than expected revenue from specific legacy products,” said Joe Dunsmore, Digi’s Chief Executive Officer. “Strategically, we were pleased with our progress during the quarter regarding the positioning of our iDigi platform for broad adoption. We announced key relationships with Freescale, Wind River and Intel to enable the iDigi Device Cloud in their products and applications. These relationships demonstrate our position as a leader in the ongoing transformation of the M2M marketplace that we believe is poised for solid growth in future years,” continued Dunsmore. “As we continue to shift our business towards the delivery of end-to-end M2M solutions, we are taking steps to structure our operations to support those solutions more aggressively.”

Business Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Revenue from embedded products in the second fiscal quarter of 2012 was $25.3 million compared to $22.4 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2011, an increase of $2.9 million, or 12.9%. Revenue from non-embedded products was $23.7 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2012 compared to $27.3 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2011, a decrease of $3.6 million, or 13.1%.

Revenue from wireless products in the second fiscal quarter of 2012 was $21.8 million, or 44.5% of net sales, compared to $19.2 million, or 38.7% of net sales, in the second fiscal quarter of 2011, an increase of $2.6 million, or 13.6%. Revenue from wired products was $27.2 million, or 55.5% of net sales, in the second fiscal quarter of 2012 compared to $30.5 million, or 61.3% of net sales, in the second fiscal quarter of 2011, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 10.8%.

Digi International Reports Second Fiscal Quarter 2012 Results

 

Gross profit was $25.8 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2012 compared to $25.7 million in the same period of the prior year, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.5%. The gross margin was 52.6% in the second fiscal quarter of 2012 compared to 51.6% in the second fiscal quarter of 2011. The gross margin was higher in the second fiscal quarter of 2012 than in the comparable period a year ago primarily due to reduced amortization of purchased and core technology, as certain technologies are fully amortized, and manufacturing expense savings.

Total operating expenses in the second fiscal quarter of 2012 were $22.4 million, or 45.6% of revenue, compared to $22.0 million, or 44.2% of revenue, in the second fiscal quarter of 2011. The increase in operating expenses in the second fiscal quarter of 2012 compared to the same quarter of the prior year is primarily due to increased investment in the iDigi® device cloud platform and additional sales, marketing and business development expenses.

Digi reported operating income of $3.4 million, or 7.0% of net sales, in the second fiscal quarter of 2012 compared to $3.7 million, or 7.4% of net sales, in the second fiscal quarter of 2011.

Net income was $2.1 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2012, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to $2.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the second fiscal quarter of 2011.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in the second fiscal quarter of 2012 were $5.5 million, or 11.1% of revenue, compared to $5.9 million, or 11.8% of revenue in the second fiscal quarter of 2011.

Business Results for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2012

For the six months ended March 31, 2012, Digi reported revenue of $95.7 million compared to revenue of $98.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 2.4%. Revenue from embedded products for the first six months of fiscal 2012 was $47.1 million compared to $43.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2011, an increase of $3.6 million, or 8.3%. Revenue from non-embedded products was $48.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2012 compared to $54.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2011, a decrease of $6.0 million, or 10.9%.

For the six months ended March 31, 2012, Digi reported net income of $2.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to net income for the six months ended March 31, 2011 of $4.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2012 benefited by $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, resulting from a reversal of tax reserves for various jurisdictions’ tax matters and the gain on sale of an investment, net of taxes, offset by expenses of $0.2 million, net of taxes, or $0.01 per diluted share, as a result of the restructuring charge for the Breisach, Germany manufacturing operations. Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2011 benefited by $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, resulting from a reversal of tax reserves for various jurisdictions’ tax matters and the enactment of legislation extending the research and development credit that allowed Digi to record tax credits earned during the last three quarters of fiscal 2010 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Digi’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities balance, including long-term marketable securities, was $115.6 million at March 31, 2012, an increase of $9.4 million from December 31, 2011. Please refer to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows that are included in this earnings release for additional cash flow details.

Fiscal 2012 Guidance

For the third fiscal quarter of 2012, Digi projects revenue in a range of $46 million to $51 million. Digi projects net income per diluted share in a range of $0.03 to $0.10 cents. Projected net income per diluted share for the third fiscal quarter of 2012 includes the impact of an anticipated pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $0.9 million to $1.1 million, or $0.02 to $0.03 per diluted share, pertaining to the North American region. The anticipated restructuring charge relates to changes being implemented to focus more aggressively on the shift to end-to-end M2M solutions, as discussed above.


Digi International Reports Second Fiscal Quarter 2012 Results

 

For the full fiscal year 2012, Digi projects revenue in a range of $190 million to $200 million. Digi projects annual net income per diluted share to be in a range of $0.26 to $0.38, including the aforementioned restructuring charge. The full fiscal year 2012 revenue and net income per diluted share guidance have both decreased from the guidance provided in our first fiscal quarter 2012 earnings release and conference call.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions. These statements often can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “expect,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or similar terminology. Among other items, these statements relate to expectations of the business environment in which the company operates, projections of future performance, perceived marketplace opportunities and statements regarding our mission and vision. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including risks related to the highly competitive market in which our company operates, rapid changes in technologies that may displace products sold by us, declining prices of networking products, our reliance on distributors and other third parties to sell our products, delays in product development efforts, uncertainty in user acceptance of our products, the ongoing shift of our sales efforts to focus more on the delivery of broader based solutions which can be a more complex sales process and involve longer sales cycles than the sale of our legacy hardware products, potential liabilities that can arise if any of our products have design or manufacturing defects, our ability to defend or settle satisfactorily any litigation, uncertainty in global economic conditions which could negatively affect product demand and the financial solvency of customers and suppliers, the impact of natural disasters and other events beyond our control that negatively impacted our supply chain and customers including the flooding in Thailand that impacted the operations of one of our contract manufacturers and impacted our operations and financial results, the ability to

achieve the anticipated benefits and synergies associated with acquisitions, and changes in our level of revenue or profitability which can fluctuate for many reasons beyond our control. These and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions identified from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation, our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011 and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings, could cause the company’s future results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Many of such factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date for which they are made. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes historical non-GAAP net income and net income per diluted share data, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

We understand that there are material limitations on the use of non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for GAAP measures, such as operating income or net income, for the purpose of analyzing financial performance. The disclosure of these measures does not reflect all charges and gains that were actually recognized by the company. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Additionally, we understand that EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, the cash requirements for the replacement of depreciated and amortized assets, or changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs.

We believe that providing historical net income and net income per diluted share exclusive of restructuring expenses and reversals of tax reserves and discrete tax benefits permits investors to compare results with prior periods that did not include these items. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. In addition, certain of our stockholders have expressed an interest in seeing financial performance measures exclusive of the impact of matters such as the impact of decisions relating to taxes and restructuring, which while important, are not central to the core operations of our business. Additionally, management believes that the presentation of EBITDA as a percentage of net sales is useful to investors because it provides a reliable and consistent approach to measuring our performance from year to year and in assessing our performance against that of other companies. Management believes that such information helps investors compare operating results and corporate performance exclusive of the impact of our capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. EBITDA is used as an internal metric for executive compensation, as well as incentive compensation for the rest of the employee base, and it is monitored quarterly for these purposes.
