“We–ve worked hard to enhance our product portfolio, streamline our operations, and turn around our business case, and we are extremely proud to post a profit once again. We will continue to push ourselves to build a balanced, predictable base of business. We are reiterating our previously announced guidance for fiscal 2015 and expect to remain profitable for the entire year,” Mr. Smith concluded.
Revenue for the first quarter should be approximately the same as the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

The Company uses a non-GAAP reconciliation of gross profit, profit (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 since stock-based compensation is excluded from the non-GAAP earnings calculation and adjustments are made for Proforma taxes. Since we are in a loss position, the non-GAAP income tax expense (benefit) for the period ended December 31, 2014 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 income (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.
