Smith Micro Reports Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Achieved Revenue of $11.8 Million, Net Income of

$3.5 million, and GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share of $0.09

PITTSBURGH, PA, October 24, 2019 – Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI) (“Smith Micro” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2019.

“I am pleased to report a very solid third quarter for the Company. We delivered strong revenue growth, profits, and significant cash flow from operations during the quarter,” said William W. Smith, Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro. “It is an exciting time at the Company, as we have achieved excellent results during the first nine months of this fiscal year and believe we are well positioned to finish the year strong, allowing us to enter 2020 full steam ahead.”

Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results:

Smith Micro reported revenue of $11.8 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019, compared to $6.5 million reported in the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Third quarter 2019 gross profit was $10.8 million compared to $5.5 million reported in the third quarter of 2018.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 91 percent for the third quarter of 2019 compared to 85 percent for the third quarter of 2018.

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) net income available to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2019 was $3.5 million, or $0.10 basic earnings per share and $0.09

diluted earnings per share, compared to a GAAP net loss available to common stockholders of $1.0 million, or $0.04 loss per share, for the third quarter of 2018.

Non-GAAP net income (which excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, debt issuance and discount costs, fair value adjustments, preferred stock dividends, and a normalized tax expense) for the third quarter of 2019 was $3.2 million, or $0.09 basic earnings per share and $0.08 diluted earnings per share, compared to a non-GAAP net income of $241 thousand, or $0.01 earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2018.

Third Quarter Year-to-Date 2019 Financial Results:

Smith Micro reported revenue of $31.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $18.9 million reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $28.2 million compared to $15.5 million reported for the same period in 2018.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 91 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 82 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

GAAP net income available to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $6.9 million, or $0.21 basic earnings per share and $0.20 diluted earnings per share, compared to a GAAP net loss available to common stockholders of $5.9 million, or $0.28 loss per share, for the same period in 2018.

Non-GAAP net income (which excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, debt issuance and discount costs, fair value adjustments, transaction gains, acquisition costs, preferred stock dividends, and a normalized tax expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $6.5 million, or $0.19 basic earnings per share and $0.18 diluted earnings per share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.05 loss per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Total cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2019 were $23.9 million. Cash flow for the quarter is primarily a result of $11.4 million in proceeds from the exercise of common stock warrants and free cash flow from operations of $5.9 million.

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company considers and has included in this press release certain non-GAAP financial measures, including a non-GAAP reconciliation of gross profit, income (loss) before taxes, net income (loss) available to common

stockholders, and earnings (loss) per share in the presentation of financial results in this press release. Management believes this non-GAAP presentation may be more meaningful in analyzing our income generation and has therefore excluded the following items from GAAP earnings calculations: stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, debt issuance and discount costs, fair value adjustments, transaction gains, acquisition costs, and preferred stock dividends. Additionally, since we are in a cumulative loss position, a non-GAAP income tax expense (benefit) was computed using a 24 percent tax rate for 2019 and 2018 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 table below presents the differences between non-GAAP net income (loss) 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 may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
