WARREN, N.J., Feb. 17, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq:ANAD) (the "Company"), a world leader in radio frequency solutions reported fourth quarter 2014 net sales of $20.9 million, a sequential increase of 10.6%. Revenue for the full year 2014 was $86.3 million.
GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $5.4 million, or ($0.06) per diluted share, a sequential improvement of 18.5%. GAAP net loss for the full year 2014 was $38.9 million, or ($0.45) per share. Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $4.7 million, or ($0.05) per share, representing a sequential improvement of 17.4%. Non-GAAP net loss for the year was $27.8 million or ($0.32) per diluted share.
As of December 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $18.4 million, or net cash of $14.4 million, after excluding $4.0 million drawn under the Company's credit facility.
"We have made remarkable progress since we announced our strategic restructuring late last June, and in virtually all aspects, outperformed our stated objectives in the second half of 2014," said Ron Michels, chairman & CEO. "Infrastructure is taking the leadership position in the Company with strength across all of our key target markets, and we believe the Company is well positioned for success."
"The benefits of our new business model are evident in our improving metrics, including cash efficiency and expanding gross margin," said Terry Gallagher, executive vice president and CFO. "Our expense base, particularly R&D investments, is very well aligned with our growth plan."
ANADIGICS' financial outlook for Q1:
- Revenue growth in Infrastructure is expected to offset some of the normal seasonal decrease in mobile revenue, which should result in a less-than-typical sequential decline in total revenue of only 10 to 13%
- Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to improve sequentially by approximately 400 basis points
- Operating expenses are expected to be approximately flat, sequentially
The statements regarding the Company's anticipated future performance are forward-looking in nature and actual results may differ materially. Please see the safe harbor statement at the end of this press release for additional information.
This press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP, consisting of non-GAAP net income and loss per share. Management uses these measures to evaluate the Company's operating and financial performance in light of business objectives, for planning purposes, when publicly providing our business outlook and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. ANADIGICS believes that these measures are useful to investors because they enhance investors' ability to review the Company's business from the same perspective as the Company's management and facilitate comparisons of this period's results with prior periods. These non-GAAP measures exclude amounts related to stock-based compensation, marketable securities' adjustments, certain non-recurring charges to cost of goods and restructuring charges. Non-GAAP measures are used by some investors when assessing the ongoing operating and financial performance of our Company. These financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Management acknowledges that stock-based compensation is a recurring cost and is an important part of our employee's compensation and impacts their performance. However, the expense is non-cash in nature and there are various valuation methodologies and assumptions used in determining stock-based compensation that may be unrelated to operations, such as volatility and current interest rates. The presentation of the additional information should not be considered a substitute for net income or loss or income or loss per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Limitations of non-GAAP financial measures. The primary material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP measures as compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are (i) they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in ANADIGICS industry, and (ii) they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. We compensate for these limitations by providing reconciliations of reported net income or loss and income or loss per share to non-GAAP net income or net loss and non-GAAP income or loss per share, respectively, within this press release.
