Vislink Technologies Reports Q3 2019 Financial Results

917 Days ago

HACKETTSTOWN, NJ, Nov. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vislink Technologies, Inc. (“Vislink” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: VISL), whose brands are recognized as the global leaders in live video communications, announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019. The Company has issued a Corporate Update that includes a review of the financial results and news regarding recent corporate developments (more information below).

Recent Company Highlights:

Was awarded a $2.8 million U.S. Army contract for handheld intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) receiver devices. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company announced it had completed the first delivery against the contract.
Received orders valued at $1.6 million from global clients for satellite communications equipment.
Was awarded a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) from the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA).
Announced a further three-year contract with Dorna Sports as Official RF Systems Supplier for the MotoGP motorcycle racing circuit.
Closed on a $12 million public offering that allowed the Company to pay off convertible debt incurred during 2018 in full and ahead of schedule.
Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company received $3 million in new orders in live production, military-government and satcom markets, which represent part of a $13 million current backlog (a 42% year-over-year increase).
Also subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company received a $300,000 order for wireless camera systems for use by the U.S. Army.

“In the third quarter, we received an injection of capital which allowed us to pay off convertible debt incurred during the financial turnaround we began in 2018,” said Roger Branton, CEO of Vislink Technologies. “This allowed the Company to de-lever its balance sheet and be free of all funded debt for the first time. However, our performance was impeded during the quarter by lingering negative effects to our supply chain. This impacted our ability to book and ship orders and was reflected in our Q3 results. As the quarter progressed, the investments we started making to realign the supply chain began to bear fruit. This was reflected in the new orders and strong backlog that significantly exceeds the previous year’s, both of which we announced after the end of the quarter. We are confident that we are well-positioned operationally to profitably build our order book, as we focus on pursuing new growth areas, as well as capturing the ongoing demand we are experiencing in our main business sectors.”

GAAP RESULTS

Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $5 million and $20.5 million, compared to $8.3 million and $27.4 million in the corresponding periods in 2018.

¹NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We disclose non-GAAP financial measures as we believe they provide useful information on actual operating
performance. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) consists of net income (loss) excluding (i) share-based compensation and (ii) one-time expenses including severance and restructuring charges and discontinued operations.

Non-GAAP EBITDA income (loss) consists of net income (loss) excluding (i) share-based compensation, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) interest expense and (iv) one-time expenses including severance and restructuring charges and discontinued operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes and we believe that it is an important indicator of our operating performance.

We use the above-noted non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes and to allow us to assess the performance of our business before including the impacts of the items noted above as they affect the comparability of our financial results. These non-GAAP measures are reviewed regularly by management and the Board of Directors as part of the ongoing internal assessment of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus purchase price amortization, acquisition-related expense, restructuring expense, depreciation and amortization, foreign exchange gains or losses and interest expense.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP on a basis consistent for all periods presented. In addition to results reported in accordance with US GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental indicators of our operating performance. We disclose non-GAAP measures as we believe that these measures provide better information on actual operating results.

Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by US GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
