IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 3, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantronix, Inc. (Nasdaq:LTRX) ("the Company"), a leader in device networking and data center management technologies, today announced that the Company entered into an amendment to its Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Silicon Valley Bank, which provides for a three-year $2 million Term Loan and a two-year $3 million Revolving Credit Facility.
"This Loan Agreement exemplifies our strong relationship with Silicon Valley Bank and reflects our commitment to non-GAAP profitability and positive cash flow," stated Reagan Y. Sakai, Chief Financial Officer. "Our working capital initiatives have resulted in annual reductions to accounts payable and net inventories of approximately $3.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively, and the addition of the Term Loan is a logical step towards meeting our anticipated working capital requirements."
Definition of Non-GAAP
The Company defines non-GAAP profitability as net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, interest income (expense), other income (expense), income tax provision (benefit), as well as charges and gains that are driven primarily by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to the company's core operating performance, such as restructurings and litigation settlements.
