ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI), a leading provider of wireless and mobility solutions, today reported financial results for its 2011 third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

“As we previously announced, our third quarter revenues were $12.6 million as we continued to see a decline in our base connection management business, primarily due to the transition to mobile hotspot technologies as a growing way to connect to mobile broadband networks,” said William W. Smith Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro Software. “We continue our efforts to develop new products to address the changing landscape of connected devices and we are making good progress on field trials for our new Mobile Network Director product. We expect that this Smartphone based software will allow our customers to alleviate traffic congestion on their networks by offloading data to Wi-Fi and enabling seamless handovers between 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi networks.”

Also as previously announced, as a result of the continued declines in our stock price and revenues, we tested goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment as of September 30, 2011 as required by generally accepted accounting principles. As a result of this analysis, we recorded an impairment charge of $112.9 million. In addition, we have fully reserved our deferred tax assets of $11.4 million (which is after tax). These charges did not impact the Company’s cash flow or cash position.

Smith Micro reported revenues of $12.6 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to $34.0 million reported in the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Third quarter gross profit on a GAAP basis was $8.9 million, compared to $30.2 million reported in the third quarter of 2010. On a non-GAAP basis (which excludes amortization of intangibles and stock compensation), third quarter gross profit was $10.2 million, compared to $31.8 million for the same quarter last year.

GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 70.7% for the third quarter of 2011, compared to 88.9% for the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 80.7% for the third quarter of 2011, compared to 93.5% for the same quarter last year, primarily due to lower revenue.

GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2011 was $134.5 million, or a loss of $3.76 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $3.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP (which excludes amortization of intangibles, stock compensation, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, and non-cash tax expense) net loss for the third quarter of 2011 was $9.7 million, or a loss of $0.27 per diluted share, compared to net income of $7.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2010.

Fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 were 35.7 million, compared to 34.7 million fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three month period ended September 30, 2010.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company reported revenues of $46.5 million, compared to $95.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

GAAP gross profit was $35.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $83.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Non-GAAP gross profit (which excludes amortization of intangibles and stock compensation) was $39.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $88.4 million for the same period last year.

GAAP net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $150.1 million, or a loss of $4.22 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $6.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. Non-GAAP (which excludes amortization of intangibles, stock compensation, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, and non-cash tax expense) net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $19.7 million, or a loss of $0.55 per diluted share, compared to net income of $20.9 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Total cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at September 30, 2011 were $54.1 million.

The Company uses a non-GAAP reconciliation of gross profit, income before taxes, net income and earnings 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 amortization of intangibles from acquisitions, stock-based compensation, goodwill and long-lived asset impairment and non-cash tax expense are excluded from the non-GAAP earnings calculation. Since we are in a loss position, the non-GAAP income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is computed by using a tax rate of 30.7% using the Company’s combined U.S. federal, state and foreign statutory tax rates less year-to-date 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 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.
