SAN JOSE, Calif., April 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NETGEAR, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTGR), a global networking company that delivers innovative networking and Internet connected products to consumers and growing businesses, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended April 2, 2017.

Net revenue for the first quarter ended April 2, 2017 was $323.7 million, as compared to $310.3 million in the first quarter ended April 3, 2016, and $367.9 million in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016. Net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, for the first quarter of 2017 was $16.0 million, or $0.47 net income per diluted share. This compared to GAAP net income of $16.6 million, or $0.50 net income per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2016, and GAAP net income of $22.1 million, or $0.65 net income per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP net income was $0.64 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2017, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $0.74 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2016 and $0.88 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Operating margin, computed in accordance with GAAP, for the first quarter of 2017 was 7.0%, as compared to 8.3% in the year ago comparable quarter, and 9.0% in the fourth quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP operating margin was 10.0% in the first quarter of 2017, as compared to 11.9% in the first quarter of 2016 and 11.4% in the fourth quarter of 2016.

The accompanying schedules provide a reconciliation of financial measures computed on a GAAP basis to financial measures computed on a non-GAAP basis.

Patrick Lo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NETGEAR, commented, “The first quarter of 2017 marks a strong start to the new year for NETGEAR, driven by an impressive 150% year-over-year growth in our Arlo segment. We believe we can continue to outpace this fast growing market with continued strong investment in R&D, channel and brand marketing.”

Christine Gorjanc, Chief Financial Officer of NETGEAR, added, “We are debuting a modified segment structure this quarter that reflects our current view of the NETGEAR business. We have included nine quarters of financial results for the modified segments in the tables contained within this release. To summarize these modifications, the performance of our home WiFi networking products, which includes the industry-leading Nighthawk and Orbi brands, as well as all the WiFi and LTE products sold to service providers, will now be reported under the new Connected Home segment. The performance of our Arlo cameras and associated services and accessories is now reported under the new Arlo segment. While sales of Arlo to service providers has been relatively low, we expect such sales to expand in coming quarters. And our Commercial Business Unit will now be called the SMB segment. Sales of SMB products to service providers has been minimal and we don’t expect future expansion. We believe that this new structure reflects our current operational and financial management, and provides the best structure for us to focus on the growth opportunities for both Connected Home and Arlo while maintaining our financial discipline.”

Mr. Lo continued, “Despite a $28.3 million year-over-year decline in sales to service providers during Q1, we were able to grow our overall revenue by $13.4 million on the strength of Arlo and Orbi sales in the retail channel. We continue to expand our product offerings, most recently with the release of two new Orbi Tri-Band AC2200 WiFi Systems that are designed to deliver seamless mesh WiFi to small and mid-sized homes at lower price points than the original AC3000 Orbi. We also expect Arlo Baby and Arlo Go to hit the shelves in Q2, which we are particularly excited about as they bring the security and convenience of the Arlo system to new users everywhere. These are just a few examples of the many innovative products that we have in our pipeline for 2017.”

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a program to repurchase up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or approximately 9.1% of the outstanding shares. This is incremental to the approximate 1,123,000 shares remaining on the Company’s previous share repurchase program. “We continue to believe that stock repurchases are an effective way of returning capital to shareholders, and plan to be opportunistic buyers of our stock in the coming quarters,” said Ms. Gorjanc.

Business Outlook

Christine Gorjanc, Chief Financial Officer of NETGEAR, added, “Looking forward to the second quarter of 2017, we expect net revenue to be in the range of $315 million to $330 million. GAAP operating margin is expected to be in the range of 5.3% to 6.3% and non-GAAP operating margin is expected to be in the range of 8.0% to 9.0%. Our GAAP tax rate is expected to be approximately 37.0% and our non-GAAP tax rate is expected to be 34.5% for the second quarter of 2017.”

New material income and expense items such as these could have a significant effect on our guidance and future GAAP results.

Non-GAAP Financial Information:
To supplement our unaudited selected financial data presented on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain charges, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP general and administrative, non-GAAP total operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP other income (expense), net, non-GAAP segment contribution income, non-GAAP segment contribution margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. These supplemental measures exclude adjustments for amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other charges, losses on inventory commitments due to restructuring, litigation reserves, net, gain on litigation settlements and the related tax effects. Additionally, non-GAAP segment contribution income, which is used, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, each of the segments, includes all product line segment revenues less the related cost of sales, research and development, and sales and marketing costs. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We compensate for the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.

In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such items are not, in our view, related to our ongoing operational performance. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans, and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. In addition, management’s incentive compensation is determined using certain non-GAAP measures. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that investors benefit from seeing results “through the eyes” of management in addition to seeing GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:

  • the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our on-going operating results;
  • the ability to better identify trends in our underlying business and perform related trend analyses;
  • a better understanding of how management plans and measures our underlying business; and
  • an easier way to compare our operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

The following are explanations of the adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP measures, as well as the reasons for excluding them in the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures:

Amortization of intangibles consists primarily of non-cash charges that can be impacted by, among other things, the timing and magnitude of acquisitions. We consider our operating results without these charges when evaluating our ongoing performance and forecasting our earnings trends, and therefore exclude such charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the assessment of our operations excluding these costs is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of our competitors.

Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges for the estimated fair value of stock options, restricted stock units and shares under the employee stock purchase plan granted to employees. We believe that the exclusion of these charges provides for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition, we believe it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact stock-based compensation expense has on our operating results.

Other items consist of certain items that are the result of either unique or unplanned events, including, when applicable: restructuring and other charges, litigation reserves, net, and gain on litigation settlements. It is difficult to predict the occurrence or estimate the amount or timing of these items in advance. Although these events are reflected in our GAAP financial statements, these unique transactions may limit the comparability of our on-going operations with prior and future periods. The amounts result from events that arise from unforeseen circumstances, which often occur outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations. Therefore, the amounts do not accurately reflect the underlying performance of our continuing business operations for the period in which they are incurred.

Tax effects consist of various adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP measures in order to provide a more meaningful measure on non-GAAP net income. We also believe providing financial information with and without the income tax effects relating to our non-GAAP financial measures provides our management and users of the financial statements with better clarity regarding the on-going performance of our business.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we reorganized our operating segment structure, resulting in a change to our reportable segments. The former Service Provider segment was integrated into our new segments, with the new segments organized on product group. The following segments were established:

  • Arlo: Focused on intelligent internet-connected products for consumers and business that provide security and safety;
  • Connected Home: Focused on consumers and consists of high-performance, dependable and easy-to-use LTE and WiFi internet networking solutions; and
  • SMB: Focused on small and medium-sized businesses and consists of business networking, storage and security solutions that bring enterprise-class functionality down to small and medium-sized businesses at an affordable price.

The table above provides quarterly recast segment revenue and contribution income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The recasting of previously issued financial information does not represent a restatement of previously issued financial statements and does not impact the previously reported consolidated net revenue, income from operations, net income per share, total assets or stockholders’ equity. From Q1 2017, it is our intention to disclose service provider net revenue within each of the reportable segments as supplementary data.
