July 23, 2015 4:05 PM

Refocused Business and Discipline Drives Record Revenue and Improved Earnings

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Digi International® Inc. (NASDAQ: DGII) reported revenue of $54.5 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2015, compared with $47.9 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2014, an increase of $6.6 million, or 13.9%. Net income for the third fiscal quarter of 2015 was $2.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the prior year comparable quarter.

Adjusted net income for the third fiscal quarter of 2015 was $2.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss for the third fiscal quarter of 2014 of $0.4 million, or $0.01 loss per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the third fiscal quarter of 2015 excludes a gain from an insurance recovery of $0.3 million, net of tax, or $0.01 per diluted share, and discrete tax benefits of $0.1 million. Adjusted net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 excludes discrete tax benefits of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. The Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) and Net Income per Diluted Share to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share is provided later in this release.

Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization adjusted for gain from insurance recovery) in the third fiscal quarter of 2015 was $4.3 million, or 8.0% of total revenue, compared to $1.4 million, or 3.0% of total revenue, in the third fiscal quarter of 2014. See Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA later in this earnings release.

“The entire Digi team’s expertise, energy and commitment are lifting our business and financial results. We have more work in front of us and I am confident we are on the right path to higher levels of performance with a relentless focus on the market, our partners, and our customers,” said Ron Konezny, President and Chief Executive Officer.

The $3.1 million increase in operating income resulted almost entirely from the increase in gross profit.

Other income (loss), net increased by $0.5 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter in the prior year, and included approximately $0.4 million of gain from an insurance recovery related to the replacement of our capital equipment destroyed in the November 2014 fire at our subcontract manufacturer’s location. Other income (loss), net also includes foreign currency transaction net gains (losses) and interest income, net. All insurance proceeds resulting from the fire have been received.

Net income was $2.5 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2015, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the third fiscal quarter of 2014.

Adjusted net income, including the items listed above, was $2.1 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2015, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss, including the item listed above, which was $0.4 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2014, or $0.01 loss per diluted share.

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 ability to integrate our products and services with those of other parties in a commercially accepted manner, 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 and economic conditions within particular regions of the world 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 could negatively impact our supply chain and customers, potential unintended consequences associated with restructuring or other similar business initiatives that may impact our ability to retain important employees, 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 United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation, our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014 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 adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, respectively, and adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure.

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 net income (loss), 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 Adjusted 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 and adjusted net income (loss) and net income (loss) per diluted share, respectively, exclusive of such items as reversals of tax reserves and discrete tax benefits, restructuring, and income from insurance proceeds permits investors to compare results with prior periods that did not include these items. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measure 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 related to taxes and restructuring, which while important, are not central to the core operations of our business. Additionally, management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue is useful 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. We believe this information helps compare operating results and corporate performance exclusive of the impact of our capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA is also 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.
