Revenue for the third quarter of 2015 was $44.5 million, up 1% from the quarter ended September 30, 2014. A net loss for the period of $0.5 million, or $0.03 per share, was reported. Non-GAAP net income of $1.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, was also reported. The company will hold a conference call to discuss these results at 10:30 a.m. ET today, which can be accessed at investors.kvh.com.

Highlights
- Subscription-based service revenue represented 61% of total revenue in Q3, up from 58% a year ago
- Record training revenues drove our 6% year-over-year increase in content and service revenues
- Although TACNAV revenues were down 44% year-over-year, strong TACNAV backlog is in place for deliveries scheduled to occur in the fourth quarter
- Record fiber optic gyro IMU sales in Q3
- Record 50% gross profit margins for services revenue
“Overall we reported solid results in the third quarter with both revenue and EPS coming in within our previous guidance range,” said Martin Kits van Heyningen, KVH’s chief executive officer. “We recorded record sales of our new IMU product line, which has been well accepted by our customers. Although we continued to see more vessels serving the offshore oil and gas services being laid up, other sectors, like commercial shipping and leisure, remained strong during the quarter. We’re expecting record revenue in the fourth quarter with strong sales of our TACNAV products based on the current backlog.”

Third Quarter Financial Summary
Revenue was $44.5 million for the third quarter, up 1% compared to $44.3 million in the third quarter of 2014. Third quarter product revenues of $15.6 million were 7% lower than the prior year quarter, primarily driven by an expected decline in TACNAV revenues, which were down 44%. Service revenues in the third quarter were $28.8 million, an increase of 5% compared to the third quarter of 2014. Airtime service revenues, which include mini-VSAT Broadband airtime revenues, were up 5% year-over-year. Content and services revenues, which include our entertainment and e-Learning and safety content, were up 6% in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014, primarily driven by higher Videotel revenues.
For the third quarter, the net loss on a GAAP basis was $0.5 million, or $0.03 per share, while non-GAAP net income was $1.8 million or $0.12 per diluted share. We did experience a currency loss during the quarter that negatively impacted the current quarter EPS by two cents on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. During the same period last year, the company reported GAAP net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income of $3.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $5.9 million in the prior year quarter. Included in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $1.4 million and $1.5 million related to the amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Nine Months Ended September 30 Financial Summary
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, revenue was $130.6 million, up 7%, compared to $122.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Product revenues for the 2015 nine-month period of $49.0 million were 12% lower than the comparable period last year, which was driven primarily by a 33% decline in guidance & stabilization product revenues year-over-year, most notably TACNAV product revenues. Service revenues for the 2015 nine-month period of $81.7 million were 23% higher than the comparable period last year. Airtime service revenues in the 2015 nine-month period increased 7% year-over-year while content and services revenues increased 57%, reflecting the acquisition of Videotel in July 2014.
The company reported a GAAP net loss of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, or $0.12 per share. During the same period last year, the company recorded a GAAP net loss of $0.9 million, or $0.06 per share. The company recorded non-GAAP net income of $4.9 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to non-GAAP net income of $4.9 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
Fourth Quarter 2015 Outlook
As we have previously guided, we expect to see a substantial increase in TACNAV revenues in the fourth quarter. At this point, all of the TACNAV in our guidance is in backlog for Q4 delivery.
A portion of our revenues and costs are denominated in pounds sterling, and there have recently been significant fluctuations in currency movements relative to the U.S. dollar throughout the year. Significant changes to currency exchange rates, particularly between the U.S. dollar and pounds sterling, may have a material impact on our earnings. Our guidance for the fourth quarter is as follows:
- Revenue for the fourth quarter is projected to be in the range of $52 million to $56 million.
- For the fourth quarter, GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.23 to $0.28. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.38 to $0.43. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is projected to be in the range of $10.5 million to $12.0 million.
Other Recent Announcements
- We announced that Seaspan, a leading independent owner, operator and manager of containerships, selected our mini-VSAT Broadband service and IP-MobileCast content delivery service for 18 of its newest vessels.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We are providing non-GAAP financial information, including non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP diluted EPS, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, as a supplement to the condensed financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing financial results to assess operational performance and liquidity. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. KVH believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. KVH believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used in making operating decisions and because its investors and analysts use them to help assess the health of its business.
Some limitations of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP diluted EPS, include the following:
- Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting in connection with acquisitions.
- Non-GAAP net income (loss) and diluted EPS exclude acquisition-related expenses, adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting in connection with acquisitions, adjustments related to stock-based compensation and intangible amortization, all net of tax, and also excludes any discrete tax items.
Other companies, including companies in KVH’s industry, may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which will reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures together with other financial performance measures, including net income (loss), diluted net income (loss) per share, and KVH’s other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. See the GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations below for further details.
