PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI) (“Smith Micro” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

“Our efforts in the first quarter, highlighted by the successful launch of SafePath^® 7 at a Tier One U.S wireless carrier, are expected to be catalysts to support and grow our revenues in future periods,” said William W. Smith, Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro Software. “We continue to invest in the critical development resources that we believe will pave the way for successful migration to the SafePath platform at our other carrier customers and further position us for success.”

“We believe Smith Micro to be the clear leader in family safety applications for the wireless carrier space and anticipate that we will be able to leverage this position to open up an even larger market opportunity for us with SafePath Home, SafePath Drive, and SafePath IOT,” Smith continued.

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Smith Micro reported revenue of $12.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $11.4 million reported in the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $9.1 million, compared to $9.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 71 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to 86 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

GAAP net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $7.0 million, or $0.13 loss per share, compared to GAAP net loss of $3.2 million, or $0.07 loss per share, for the same period in 2021.

Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $4.3 million, or $0.08 loss per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $0.7 million, or $0.02 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Non-GAAP net (loss) income excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, and acquisition costs.

Total cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 were $9.8 million and available borrowing capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility was $7.0 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 and a non-GAAP reconciliation from GAAP gross profit, net (loss) income before taxes, and net (loss) income to the following non-GAAP metrics: non-GAAP net (loss) income, and non-GAAP diluted 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 intangible assets, and acquisition costs. Additionally, since the Company currently has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards that can be utilized to reduce future cash payments for income taxes, these non-GAAP adjustments have not been tax effected, and the resulting income tax expense reflects actual taxes paid or accrued during each period. This presentation may be considered more indicative of our ongoing operational performance. The table below presents the differences between non-GAAP net (loss) income and net (loss) income 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-GAAP financial measures as reported by Smith Micro may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
