CORRECTION…by TESSCO Technologies, Inc.

HUNT VALLEY, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 30, 2017-- In the "Cash Dividend" section, the first sentence should read: "TESSCO’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per common share payable on March 1, 2017 to common stockholders of record on February 15, 2017." (instead of: TESSCO’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per common share payable on February 15, 2017 to common stockholders of record on March 1, 2017.)

The corrected release, which otherwise remains unchanged, reads:

“This is the first time in four years in which we achieved both year-over-year and sequential revenue growth,” said Murray Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are optimistic about our success and believe our sales momentum is improving.

“As we seek to drive sustainable growth in revenue and earnings, we are working to align the company’s resources in the most efficient and productive means possible,” Wright continued. “We recently hired two new executives in our efforts to reinvigorate our sales and product management organizations and to improve our go-to-market strategies. Pete Peterson, our new Senior Vice President of Sales, is a seasoned sales executive with over 30 years of experience running sales organizations in industry leading companies like Brocade and Tech Data. Charles Kriete, our new Product and Solutions Senior Vice President has been a successful entrepreneur as well as a seasoned executive with experience in sales, marketing, and product management. We expect their efforts to impact revenue and profitability beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

“While our fourth quarter is seasonally our most challenging, we expect a modest increase in revenues and bottom-line performance, compared with the year-ago period,” Wright said.

“Looking ahead, we are focused on driving stronger top-line growth with improving overall profitability. To that end, we are aggressively reviewing our growth strategy and building a plan to improve sales and enhance profitability and operational productivity. In the upcoming quarters, we expect to share the highlights and the progress we are making on this plan. We are also recalibrating our go-to-market strategy

and looking to rebalance resources as part of our ongoing efforts to acquire significant new customers. TESSCO is in a terrific position to capitalize on the growth of the wireless industry and the Internet of Things during the next several years, and we are excited to accelerate our progress as we look ahead to the new fiscal year.”

Third-Quarter Fiscal 2017 Financial Results

For the fiscal 2017 third quarter, revenues totaled $147.2 million, compared with $139.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and $134.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in revenues resulted in part from significant orders from several key public carrier customers, and to a lesser extent, was driven by strong private system and retail sales.

Gross profit was $30.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, compared with $29.5 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2016 and $28.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of an increase in overall sales. Gross margin was 20.4% of revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, compared with 21.1% in last year’s third quarter and 21.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The decline in gross margin was largely due to a higher level of lower-margin public carrier and retail sales.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $27.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2017. This compares with $24.7 million for the same quarter of the prior year and $26.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in SG&A expenses year-over-year was primarily driven by the increased costs of servicing the Company’s retail market customers and higher compensation and recruiting expenses related to the Company’s sales and marketing initiatives.

Net income and earnings per diluted share were $1.2 million and $0.15, respectively, for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, compared with net income and earnings per diluted share of $2.9 million and $0.35, respectively, for the prior-year third quarter, and $1.0 million and $0.12, respectively, for the second quarter of fiscal 2017.

Cash Dividend

TESSCO’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per common share payable on March 1, 2017 to common stockholders of record on February 15, 2017. Any future declaration of dividends, and the establishment of record and payment dates, is subject to future determinations of the Board of Directors.

Business Outlook

The Company is not providing earnings guidance at this time for fiscal 2017 due to the uncertainty that persists, primarily in the carrier market. While the Company currently anticipates modest year-over-year revenue growth in the fourth quarter, results are expected to be significantly lower than in the sequential third quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily because of seasonal factors, near-term economic conditions, market pressure, pricing pressure in the retail market and the costs associated with ongoing investments in the Company’s transformations.

Forecasting future results or trends is inherently difficult for any business, and actual results or trends may differ materially from those forecasted. The nature of the business is that TESSCO typically ships products within several days after booking orders. The lack of an order backlog makes it even more difficult to forecast future results. The Business Outlook published in this press release reflects only the company’s current best estimate and it assumes no obligation to update the information contained in this press release, including the Business Outlook, at any time.

Non-GAAP Information

EBITDA and EBITDA per diluted share are measures used by management to evaluate the Company’s ongoing operations, and to provide a general indicator of the Company's operating cash flow (in conjunction with a cash flow statement which also includes among other items, changes in working capital and the effect of non-cash charges).

EBITDA is defined as income from operations, plus interest expense, net of interest income, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA per diluted share is defined as EBITDA divided by TESSCO’s diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Management believes EBITDA and EBITDA per share are useful to investors because they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of these Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Neither EBITDA nor EBITDA per diluted share is a recognized term under GAAP, and EBITDA does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, neither EBITDA nor EBITDA per diluted share is intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as certain cash requirements, such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements, are not reflected.

A reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP results is included as an exhibit to this release.
