Q1 2020 Financial Results Summary:

Revenue for the first quarter of 2020 was $132.9 million, compared to $155.3 million for the same period last year. The 14.4% reduction was driven primarily by the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the company’s customers throughout the industries into which the company sells its products and services.

• Non-GAAP gross margin was 48.4% for the quarter, compared to 52.0% for the same period last year.
  • Gross margin decline is due primarily to the lower proportion of hardware and consumables out of the total revenue mix due to the COVID-19 crisis, not to discounting or material ASP reductions.
