Financial Analyst

DZS's Q2 2024 results show a mixed financial picture. Orders increased by 6% year-over-year, but revenue decreased by 21% in 1H 2024. The company's GAAP gross margin improved to 33.6%, up from 32.7% in Q2 2023. However, non-GAAP gross margin declined to 34.5% from 36.2%. Positively, operating expenses were reduced by 27%, showing effective cost management. The net income of $23 million GAAP is noteworthy, but the adjusted non-GAAP loss of $11 million raises concerns. The cash balance of $8 million seems low, especially with $75 million in paid inventory. This inventory situation needs careful monitoring for potential cash flow issues.

Tech Expert

DZS's strategic moves in Q2 2024 are reshaping its business focus. The divestiture of the Asia business allows concentration on North America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand markets, potentially improving gross margins. The acquisition of NetComm is expected to be accretive and is already showing positive cross-selling synergies. This could enhance DZS's product portfolio and market reach. The company's focus on high-quality broadband access solutions aligns with growing global demand for reliable connectivity. However, the softness in service provider capital spending noted for 2H 2023 and 1H 2024 is a concern, as it may impact future revenue growth. The emphasis on converting $150 million of scheduled backlog and numerous active trials to orders will be important for future performance.

Market Research Analyst

DZS's Q2 2024 results reflect broader industry trends. The softness in capital spending by service providers aligns with global economic uncertainties and potential market saturation in some regions. However, DZS's focus on broadband everywhere positions it well for long-term growth as digital transformation continues globally. The improvement in GAAP gross margin suggests potential for better profitability as market conditions improve. The reduction in operating expenses by 27% demonstrates adaptability to market challenges. The positive cross-selling synergy from the NetComm acquisition indicates potential for market share growth. Investors should watch for the conversion of the $75 million paid inventory to cash, as this could significantly impact the company's financial health and stock performance in the near term.

DALLAS, Sept. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DZS (OTC: DZSI), a developer of Networking and Connectivity solutions enabling broadband everywhere, today announced it has filed Q2 2024 financial results.

“The second quarter of 2024 represented a defining period for DZS,” said Charlie Vogt, President and CEO, DZS. “Foremost, we are now current with all restated and delayed Form 10-Q and 10-K filings with the SEC through Q2 2024. From a sales and financial performance perspective, we continue to make progress with our key priorities of 1) creating high-quality, differentiated broadband access solutions for our valued customers, 2) delivering product on-time, 3) optimizing our cost structure and 4) monetizing $75 million of paid inventory. The divestiture of our Asia business in April of this year has enabled us to focus on the North America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand regions and is expected to improve our gross margin. Our acquisition of NetComm in June is expected to be an accretive transaction. We are already experiencing positive cross-selling sales synergy, and we expect the second half of 2024 and 2025 to yield positive sales and inventory conversion results. On Thursday, Sept. 5^th at 10:00 a.m. CDT, we will provide a fulsome report that will give customers, suppliers, investors and employees insights relative to what has been accomplished over the past 15 months and our outlook for the future.”

“As Charlie mentioned, during our earnings call later this week we will share in more detail the various changes and enhancements that have occurred since our last earnings call in early 2023,” said Misty Kawecki, CFO, DZS. “Our priority throughout the restatement and delayed reporting process has been thoroughness. While we are disappointed with the length of time it took to complete this process, including the cost, this chapter is now behind us. While we will learn from the past, our focus is looking forward. Despite the softness in capital spending by service providers, especially during the 2H 2023 and 1H 2024, we improved profitability with favorable gross margin and optimized our cost structure by 29% year-over-year. We remain laser-focused on the conversion of approximately $150 million of scheduled backlog, converting our numerous active trials to orders, cultivating a robust sales pipeline and converting $75 million of paid inventory to cash.”

As previously disclosed, DZS will host an earnings call to discuss restated results, which will include all of 2022, 2023, the financial results for the first and second quarters of 2024, and the divestiture of its Asia business along with its recent acquisition of NetComm.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement DZS’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, DZS reports Adjusted Cost of Revenue, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (including on a per share basis), EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures DZS believes are appropriate to provide meaningful comparison with, and to enhance an overall understanding of, DZS’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. DZS believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific items that DZS believes are not indicative of core operating results. These items share one or more of the following characteristics: they are unusual and DZS does not expect them to recur in the ordinary course of its business; they do not involve the expenditure of cash; they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course; or their magnitude and timing is largely outside of the Company’s control. Further, each of these non-GAAP measures of operating performance are used by management, as well as industry analysts, to evaluate operations and operating performance and are widely used in the telecommunications and manufacturing industries. Other companies in the telecommunications and manufacturing industries may calculate these metrics differently than DZS does. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

DZS defines Adjusted Cost of Revenue as GAAP Cost of Revenue less (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) restructuring charges, including freight charges and other elevated inventory related costs directly related to the transition to a contract manufacturer, and (iv) the impact of material transactions or events that we believe are not indicative of our core product cost and are not expected to be recurring in nature. We believe Adjusted Cost of Revenue provides the investor more accurate information regarding the actual cost of our products and services, excluding the impact of costs of revenue that are not routine components of our core product cost, for better comparability of our costs of revenue between periods and to other companies.

DZS defines Adjusted Gross Margin as GAAP Gross Margin less (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) restructuring charges, including freight charges and other elevated inventory related costs directly related to the transition to a contract manufacturer, and (iv) the impact of material transactions or events that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance and are not expected to be recurring in nature. We believe Adjusted Gross Margin provides the investor more accurate information regarding our core profit margin on sales, excluding the impact of cost of revenue that are not routine components of our core product cost, for better comparability of gross margin between periods and to other companies.

DZS defines Adjusted Operating Expenses as GAAP operating expenses plus or minus (as applicable) (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) stock-based compensation, and (iii) the impact of material transactions or events that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance, such as acquisition costs, restructuring and other charges, including termination related benefits, headquarters and facilities relocation, executive transition, restatement related costs, and legal costs related to certain litigation, each of which is not expected to be recurring in nature. We believe Adjusted Operating Expenses provides the investor more accurate information regarding our core operating expenses, which include research and development costs, selling, general and administrative costs, and amortization of intangible assets, excluding the impact of charges that are not routine components of our core operating expenses, for better comparability between periods and to other companies.

DZS defines EBITDA as Net Income (Loss) plus or minus (as applicable) (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax provision (benefit), and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense.

DZS defines Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), or Adjusted EBITDA, as GAAP Operating Income (Loss) plus or minus (as applicable) (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) stock-based compensation, and (iii) the impact of material transactions or events that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance, such as acquisition costs, restructuring and other charges, including termination related benefits, headquarters and facilities relocation, executive transition, restatement related costs, and legal costs related to certain litigation, each of which is not expected to be recurring in nature. We believe Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) provides the investor more accurate information regarding our core operating Income (Loss), excluding the impact of charges that are not routine components of our core operating expenses, for better comparability between periods and to other companies. The DZS definition of Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) equates to the DZS definition of Adjusted EBITDA.
DZS defines Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) as GAAP Net Income plus or minus (as applicable) (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) the impact of material transactions or events that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance, such as acquisition costs, restructuring and other charges, including termination related benefits and restructuring charges, including freight charges and other elevated inventory related costs directly related to the transition to a contract manufacturer, headquarters and facilities relocation, executive transition, bad debt expense primarily related to a large customer in India, restatement related costs, and legal costs related to certain litigation, each of which is not expected to be recurring in nature, (iv) unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, (v) a non-GAAP income tax benefit (provision) based on an estimated tax rate applied against forecasted annual non-GAAP income and (vi) i the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS. DZS determines non-GAAP income taxes by computing an annual rate for the Company and applying that single rate (rather than multiple rates by jurisdiction) to its consolidated quarterly results. For 2023, the non-GAAP income tax rate was 18.1% and for 2022 the rate was 20.8%. DZS expects that this methodology will provide a consistent rate throughout the year and allow investors to better understand the impact of income taxes on its results. Due to the methodology applied to its estimated annual tax rate, the Company’s estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income will differ from its GAAP tax rate and from its actual tax liabilities. DZS believes Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) provides the investor more accurate information regarding our core income, excluding the impact of charges that are not routine components of our core product cost or core operating expenses, for better comparability between periods and to other companies.
