Financial Summary

Revenue in the second quarter of 2019 increased 153% to $14.9 million from $5.9 million in the same year-ago quarter. Q2 revenue included shipments that were delayed from the first quarter into the second.

The increase in revenue was driven by revenue increases from traditional OSS customers as well as contributions from acquisitions. The traditional OSS business increased by $4.1 million. Bressner, acquired in October 2018, contributed $4.0 million. CDI, acquired in August 2018, contributed $895,000.

Revenue on an organic basis (excluding 2018 acquisitions) increased 70% to $10.0 million as compared to same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to shipments of military flash arrays and media and entertainment servers.

Given the quarterly shift in timing of shipments, a more insightful measure of the company’s growth can be understood by looking at the first half of the year rather than only the second quarter. In the first half, revenue grew 92% overall, with organic growth at $2.3 million or 17%.

Gross profit in Q2 increased 230% to $5.4 million, with gross margin improving to 36.4% from 27.8%. For the first half of 2019, margins were 31.4% versus 29.6% in the previous year.

Total operating expenses increased 132% to $6.4 million from $2.8 million in second quarter of 2018. The increase was due to increased expenses associated with CDI and Bressner, and a $2.0 million goodwill impairment charge.

In Q2, the company made two accounting adjustments to intangible assets and goodwill. The first adjustment relates to our intangible assets associated with the acquisition of the CDI business. GAAP accounting allows the company to adjust the assigned values of intangible assets for an acquisition within a one-year period. The result was to re-allocate $1.2 million of purchase consideration from intangible assets to goodwill.

In conjunction with the re-allocation, the company also performed a test for impairment of goodwill. The result of this analysis was that the goodwill was impaired by $1,988,701. And as a result, we took a charge in the second quarter. This charge is reflected in the company’s operating expenses within the General and Administrative expenses.

Net loss on a GAAP basis totaled $1.6 million or $(0.11) per share in Q2 compared to net loss of $1.5 million or $(0.12) per share in the year-ago period. Net loss in Q2 2019 included the $2.0 million goodwill impairment charge.

Non-GAAP net income on a basis totaled $821,000 or $0.06 per share in Q2, as compared to a loss of $1.3 million or $(0.10) per share in the same year-ago period. Among other items, non-GAAP income in Q2 2019 excludes the goodwill impairment.

Adjusted EBITDA was $1.6 million in Q2, as compared to a loss of $576,000 in the same year-ago period. Among other items, adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2019 excludes the goodwill impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.9 million at June 30, 2019, as compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to debt funding and a customer overpayment, less cash used for working capital and capital expenditures.

Management Commentary

“In Q2, we produced strong revenue growth and solid non-GAAP earnings – both well ahead of expectations,” said OSS president and CEO, Steve Cooper. “Thus far this year we have also won several high-value contracts and a number of design-ins that will drive continued growth and profitability.

“We are particularly pleased to have won a $60 million, five-year OEM agreement with Disguise Systems for video display servers. This major OEM contract builds upon our long-standing collaboration with Disguise and provides confidence for a continued long-term relationship.

“Today we announced that OSS was awarded a five-year sole source agreement valued at $36 million to provide flash storage arrays to Raytheon, a prime contractor for the U.S. Navy. The systems will be used within state-of-the-art Navy surveillance aircraft deployed worldwide, where they will deliver the benefits of our award-winning flash array technology, including high-performance, small size, light weight and portability.

“Overall in 2019, we have seen an increase in major OEM opportunities, and we have been winning an increasing percentage. These factors are helping to drive our organic growth with increasing momentum.

“For the first half of 2019, we’ve won 11 new design-ins with multi-year values over $1 million each, and currently have 18 additional major account design-in opportunities.

“Our design win success is being driven by our breakthrough technologies, particularly our industry leading PCIe Gen 4 products and our AI on the Fly compute accelerators. The PCIe Gen 4 products provide significant system performance increases by doubling the data transfer rates, while our AI on the Fly accelerators allow AI compute performance to be deployed in the field.

“Our strong first half results, recent contracts, major design-ins and technology breakthroughs, are driving our record growth in 2019 and provide the foundation for continued growth.”

Guidance
OSS anticipates revenue of $13.5 million to $15.5 million in Q3, increasing to $15.5 million to $17.5 million in Q4. The actual timing of shipments from quarter to quarter may vary depending upon changes in customer delivery schedules and other external factors.

The company reiterates its outlook for the full year 2019: revenue is anticipated to be between $54 million and $58 million, representing overall growth of 51% to 54% and organic growth of 12% to 18%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
OSS management believes that the use of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, is helpful for an investor to assess the performance of the company. Starting this quarter, the company changed its definition of adjusted EBITDA to include impairment of goodwill. The company defines adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition expenses, impairment of long-lived assets, financing costs, fair value adjustments from purchase accounting, stock-based compensation expense and expenses related to discontinued operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash operating expenses, OSS management believes that providing a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes non-cash and non-recurring expenses allows for meaningful comparisons between the company’s core business operating results and those of other companies, as well as providing OSS management with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating the company’s own core business operating results over different periods of time.

The company’s adjusted EBITDA measure may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the company’s industry, as other companies in its industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. The company’s adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or as an indication of operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. OSS management does not consider adjusted EBITDA to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results.

Adjusted EPS excludes the impact of certain items and, therefore, has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that exclusion of certain selected items assists in providing a more complete understanding of the company’s underlying results and trends and allows for comparability with its peer company index and industry. Management uses this measure along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage the company’s business and to evaluate its performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace. The company defines Non-GAAP (loss) income attributable to common stockholders as (loss) or income before amortization, stock-based compensation, expenses related to discontinued operations, impairment of long-lived assets and non-recurring acquisition costs. Adjusted EPS expresses adjusted (loss) income on a per share basis using weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

As compared to the previously reported quarter, the company has changed its definition of non-GAAP EPS to include impairment of goodwill.

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS financial adjustments described above, and investors should not infer from the company’s presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.
