BAYLIN ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2018
Baylin Technologies Inc. has released its financial results for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2018.
Quarterly highlights
Key highlights for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2018, include the following:
-
The company recorded revenue of $38.2-million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $11-million, or 40.7 per cent, over the third quarter of 2017.
-
Gross profit of $16.2-million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $7.7-million over the third quarter of 2017. The gross margin for the third quarter of 2018 was 42.3 per cent, an improvement of 11 percentage points, compared with the same period last year.
-
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was $7.1-million in the third quarter of 2018, compared with $3.1-million in the third quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2018 excludes certain non-recurring and one-time expenses of $2.3-million, which were primarily expenses related to the acquisition of Alga Microwave.
-
Cash on hand at Sept. 30, 2018, was $19.1-million, a reduction of $16.1-million from Dec. 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to cash utilized for payment of a portion of the purchase price for Advantech Wireless and Alga Microwave, and an increase in non-cash working capital, offset by an increase in cash from a term loan and a bought deal public offering of subscription receipts and convertible debentures.
-
Revenue in the embedded antennas and wireless infrastructure groups have continued to increase further, diversifying the company's revenue base.
"We are very pleased with the company's higher gross margins in the third quarter of 2018 due to a higher percentage of revenue from our wireless infrastructure products as well as the two acquisitions that we completed this year," commented Randy Dewey, Baylin Technologies' president and chief executive officer.
"Since completing the acquisition of Alga Microwave on July 11, 2018, we have been focused on moving Advantech Wireless's operations into Alga Microwave's facility, which we expect will result in cost reductions and improved manufacturing efficiencies," concluded Mr. Dewey.
Selected financial information of the company for the periods indicated is summarized in the attached table.
