“In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, sales of our Enterprise Solutions grew, primarily due to ongoing efforts to expand our sales channels. This partially offset the decline in sales for some of our mature OEM Modules, which resulted in a decrease in overall revenue,” said Lantronix CEO Kurt Busch. “In addition, through our continued fiscal and operational discipline, we achieved non-GAAP net income.”
“With the opportunities being created by new products and ongoing expansion of our sales channels, we continue to expect new product sales to outpace the decline of mature products,” Busch added.
Net revenue was $10.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, a decrease of $319,000 compared to $11.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and a decrease of $244,000 compared to $11.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The year-over-year and sequential decline in net revenue was primarily due to a decrease in unit sales of the OEM Module product line that was partially offset by growth in the Enterprise Solutions product line.
Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 49.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to 48.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and 44.7% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
Operating expenses were $5.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, a decrease of $248,000, compared to $5.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and a decrease of $446,000, compared to $6.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 included severance charges of $208,000.
GAAP net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $(267,000), or ($0.02) per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $(430,000), or ($0.03) per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and a GAAP net loss of $(1.1) million, or ($0.08) per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $220,000, or $0.01 per share compared to non-GAAP net income of $48,000 or $0.00 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and a non-GAAP net loss of $(665,000), or $(0.05) per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Lantronix believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information, when presented in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company-s financial condition and results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management believes that non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share are important measures of the Company-s business. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance.
Non-GAAP operating expenses consist of operating expenses excluding (i) share-based compensation and related payroll taxes and (ii) depreciation and amortization.
Non-GAAP net income (loss) consists of net income (loss) excluding (i) non-GAAP adjustments to operating expenses, (ii) interest income (expense), (iii) other income (expense), and (iv) income tax provision (benefit).
Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted). For purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, the calculation of GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted) is adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, which for GAAP purposes is treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.
