NEWS RELEASE

Westell Technologies Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2016 Results

Year-over-year revenue grew 44% to $20.2 million
AURORA, IL, February 3, 2016 – Westell Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSTL), a leading provider of in-building wireless, intelligent site management, cell site optimization, and outside plant solutions, today announced results for its fiscal 2016 third quarter ended December 31, 2015 (3Q16). Management will host a conference call to discuss financial and business results tomorrow, Thursday, February 4, 2016 at 9:30 AM Eastern Time (details below).
Consolidated revenue was $20.2 million, consisting of $8.7 million from the In-Building Wireless (IBW) segment and $11.5 million from the Communication Solutions Group (CSG) segment. Both IBW and CSG segment revenues for 3Q16 were up year-over-year by 60% and 34%, respectively.
“Westell’s third quarter results showed continued progress in executing our growth and operational turnaround strategy. Revenue grew 44% compared to the same quarter last year, while down sequentially as expected. Additionally, Intelligent Site Management (ISM) revenue grew to its highest quarterly level in two years, contributing to a CSG segment gross margin above 40%,” said Tom Gruenwald, Chairman and CEO of Westell Technologies. “We have completed the rebuilding of our management team with performance-focused leaders in all key positions, have added new products such as our new tower mounted amplifier (TMA), and are progressing with trials and testing of our new ClearLink DAS solution - all of which bolsters our confidence going forward.”

Cash and short-term investments were $34.8 million at December 31, 2015, compared to $36.4 million at September 30, 2015. The $1.6 million use of cash was driven primarily by the net loss in the quarter, partly offset by favorable working capital.





In-Building Wireless (IBW) Segment
IBW’s revenue improvement year-over-year was due largely to increased demand for passive DAS conditioners; while the sequential decrease was due to the expected seasonal slowdown in sales of our active DAS conditioner, the Universal DAS Interface Tray (UDIT). Gross margins varied in line with changes in segment revenue.

Communication Solutions Group (CSG) Segment
CSG’s revenue improvement year-over-year was due to higher revenues across all product categories - ISM, TMAs, and outside plant; whereas the sequential decrease was driven by the typical seasonal slowdown in sales of TMAs. Gross margin improved year-over-year due primarily to lower excess and obsolete inventory costs, and improved sequentially due primarily to a more favorable mix.

The Company conforms to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the preparation of its financial statements. The schedules above reconcile the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The adjustments share one or more of the following characteristics: they are unusual and the Company does not expect them to recur in the ordinary course of its business; they do not involve the expenditure of cash; they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course; or their magnitude and timing is largely outside of the Company's control. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial information provides meaningful supplemental information to investors. Management also believes the non-GAAP financial information reflects the Company's core ongoing operating performance and facilitates comparisons across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results. Non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's GAAP results.
 

(1)
On April 1, 2013 and March 1, 2014, the Company purchased Kentrox and Cellular Specialties, Inc. (CSI), respectively. These acquisitions required the step-up of certain assets to fair value, which resulted in cost that will not recur once those assets have fully settled. The adjustments remove the increased costs associated with the third-party sales of inventory that was stepped-up and the step-down on acquired deferred revenue that was recognized.
(2)
The Company recorded a non-cash charge during the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2015 to record the impairment of the full carrying value of the Company's goodwill related to the Kentrox and CSI acquisitions, respectively.
(3)
Amortization of intangibles is a non-cash expense arising from the acquisition of intangible assets.
(4)
Restructuring expenses are not directly related to the ongoing performance of our fundamental business operations. This adjustment also includes severance benefits related to the departure of certain former executives.
(5)
Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense incurred in accordance with share-based compensation accounting standards.
(6)
The release of contingent liabilities related to the sale of ConferencePlus are presented as discontinued operations.
