Smith Micro Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2015 Financial Results
Achieves non-GAAP Profitability in the Fourth Quarter
ALISO VIEJO, CA, March 8, 2016 – Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMSI), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015, including a return to profitability for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
“Revenue for the fourth quarter was $10.0 million and we were profitable on a non-GAAP basis,” said William W. Smith Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro Software. “In 2015, we were able to increase revenues seven percent year over year to $39.5 million, increase gross profit 13 percent, decrease non-GAAP operating expenses by 11 percent, and hold cash and cash equivalents essentially flat for the year.”
“We worked hard in 2015 to engage significant new customers, and we signed multiple new deals in the fourth quarter that included a North America wireless carrier, our second MSO/cable company, and a well-known handset OEM, all using our NetWise solution. We anticipate these new agreements will begin to ramp by mid-year, which will help offset the decreased revenue we expect from Sprint as a result of their cost cutting measures,” Mr. Smith concluded.
Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2015 Financial Results:
Smith Micro reported revenues of $10.0 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to $10.6 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Fourth quarter 2015 gross profit on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis (which excludes stock compensation) was $8.0 million, compared to $8.3 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2014.

GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 80.0 percent for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to a GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenues of 78.7 percent and 78.8 percent, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2014.
GAAP net loss was $591,000, or $0.01 loss per share, for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to GAAP net income of $205,000, or $0.00 earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2014.
Non-GAAP net income (which excludes stock-based compensation and normalizes tax expense) for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $4,000, or $0.00 earnings per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $492,000, or $0.01 earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2014.
Fiscal 2015 Financial Results:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, the Company reported revenues of $39.5 million, compared to $37.0 million for fiscal year 2014, an increase of 6.8 percent.
Fiscal year 2015 gross profit on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis (which excludes stock compensation) was $31.4 million, compared to $27.7 million on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for the fiscal year 2014, an increase of 13.4 percent.
GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 79.4 percent for fiscal year 2015, compared to 74.8 percent for the fiscal year 2014.
GAAP net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was $2.6 million, or $0.06 loss per share, compared to a net loss of $11.8 million, or $0.29 loss per share, for fiscal year 2014. GAAP net loss for fiscal 2014 included restructuring charges to expense of $2.4 million.
Non-GAAP net loss (which excludes stock-based compensation and normalizes tax expense) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was $0.2 million, or $0.00 loss per share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $4.9 million, or $0.12 loss per share, for fiscal year 2014.
Total cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 2015 were $12.9 million.
The Company uses a non-GAAP reconciliation of gross profit, income (loss) before taxes, net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share in the presentation of financial results in this press release. Management believes that this presentation may be more meaningful in analyzing our income generation
| Smith Micro Software Fourth Quarter 2015 Financial Results | Page 3 of 7 |
since stock-based compensation is excluded from the non-GAAP earnings calculation and adjustments are made for Proforma taxes. Since we are in a cumulative loss position, the non-GAAP income tax expense (benefit) for the fiscal year 2015 was computed by using a tax rate of 38 percent using the Company’s normalized combined U.S. federal, state and foreign statutory tax rates less various tax adjustments. This presentation may be considered more indicative of our ongoing operational performance. The tables below present the differences between non-GAAP earnings and net loss on an absolute and per-share basis. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and the non-financial measures as reported by Smith Micro Software may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
