Mavenir Systems Reports 2014 Third Quarter Financial Results

RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mavenir Systems (NYSE: MVNR) today reported financial results for the third quarter 2014, provided its outlook for the fourth quarter and updated its outlook for the full year of 2014.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Total revenue for the third quarter of 2014 was $34.1 million, an increase of 31% year-over-year and 2% quarter-over-quarter.
  • GAAP operating loss for the third quarter of 2014 was $3.8 million, compared with $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2013 and $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2014.
  • Non-GAAP operating loss (a) was $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2013 and an income of $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2014.
  • GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2014 was $5.8 million, compared to $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2013 and $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2014.

(a) Non-GAAP operating loss/income excludes stock-based compensation, foreign exchange gains or losses, depreciation and amortization.

GAAP gross profit margin was 53% in the quarter, compared to 48% in the third quarter of 2013 and 55% in the second quarter of 2014. Non-GAAP gross profit margin was 54% in the quarter, above the high end of the guidance range provided in our second quarter earnings release, compared to 49% in the third quarter of 2013 and 57% in the second quarter of 2014.

Net loss per share was $0.21 for the third quarter of 2014 compared with $3.35 for the third quarter of 2013 and $0.16 for the second quarter of 2014. As outlined in the accompanying table entitled “Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share” included in this press release, the non-GAAP net loss per share was $0.03 for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $0.16 for the third quarter of 2013 and $0.04 for the second quarter of 2014.

“We are pleased with our achievement of continued growth and that we exceeded key financial milestones this quarter. The company is well positioned to take advantage of the dynamic mobile service provider market,” said Pardeep Kohli, president and chief executive officer, Mavenir Systems. “With Apple's announcement in June that iOS 8 supports Wi-Fi calling using the operator's voice and text messaging services, we believe Apple will serve as a catalyst for mobile operators to accelerate their IMS vendor selection decisions and/or deployment plans; coupled with the transition to NFV, we are seeing greater opportunities for our software-based IMS and EPC solution.”

“Although we saw some launches in the U.S. along with capacity expansions in the U.S. and EMEA, the majority of our worldwide customers continue to be in the network build-out phase as they work towards VoLTE and RCS launches, and we anticipate several more launches planned for late 2014 and/or early 2015,” said Terry Hungle, chief financial officer, Mavenir Systems.

A description of the non-GAAP calculations and reconciliation to comparable GAAP measures is provided in the accompanying table entitled, "Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Guidance

Mavenir is providing the following fourth quarter and updated full year 2014 guidance with respect to anticipated total revenue, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures & Definitions

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Mavenir discloses non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, as supplemental measures. Non-GAAP operating loss represents operating loss before depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP net loss represents non-GAAP operating loss after interest and taxes, as adjusted for uncertain tax positions component. Non-GAAP net loss per share represents non-GAAP net loss divided by our adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding, which assumes the conversion of preferred shares as of the beginning of the period. These measures are used by management to evaluate our business, and management believes these measures may help investors evaluate the Company’s fundamental operational performance. Management believes these non-GAAP measures facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, tax position, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense and certain other expenses. These measures are not measures of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for net loss, operating loss or other performance measures as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Please refer to the accompanying tables entitled “Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share” for a reconciliation of consolidated GAAP operating loss to non-GAAP operating loss, consolidated GAAP net loss to non-GAAP net loss.

In determining our guidance for the fourth quarter and full year of 2014 set forth in “Guidance,” we have chosen to use non-GAAP measures for all metrics other than revenue. The non-GAAP metrics exclude the effects of depreciation, amortization, foreign exchange gains or losses, and stock-based compensation. The effects of these two items are difficult to forecast in advance as they relate to future foreign exchange rates and future stock prices, which are subject to external factors that are difficult to predict. As a result, Mavenir does not give guidance on GAAP metrics other than revenue.

Forward-looking statements include the statements under “Guidance” above, statements regarding Mavenir’s expectations with respect to revenue, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, as well as statements about the acceleration of IMS vendor selection and deployment plans by mobile service providers, their transition to NFV and Mavenir's views about greater opportunities for its software-based IMS and EPC solutions. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “may,” “can,” “believes,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “likely,” “target,” “will,” “to be” and other expressions that are predictions or indicate future events, trends or prospects, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if Mavenir’s underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those expected, estimated or projected.
