Note: Throughout this release, we refer to “net income attributable to common stockholders” as “net income.”

(See the reconciliation tables of GAAP net income to non-GAAP adjusted net income near the end of this release for further details.)

Included in third quarter 2024 GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income was approximately $5.9 million, net of tax, non-cash share-based compensation expense. Excluding share-based compensation expense, GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”) and non-GAAP adjusted EPS would have increased by $0.13 per share for the third quarter 2024, compared to $0.07 and $0.06, respectively, for the second quarter 2024 and $0.10 for both in the third quarter 2023.

EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure), which represents earnings before net interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, in third quarter 2024 was $46.9 million, or 13.4 percent of revenue, compared to $41.1 million, or 12.8 percent of revenue, in second quarter 2024 and $90.6 million, or 22.4 percent of revenue, in third quarter 2023. For a reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA, see the table near the end of this release for further details.

For the third quarter 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $54.4 million. Net cash flow was $49.4 million, including borrowing of $9.7 million of total debt. Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) was $39.4 million, which includes $15.0 million of capital expenditures.

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $325 million in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments. Total debt (including long-term and short-term) amounted to approximately $58 million and working capital was approximately $910 million.

The results announced today are preliminary and unaudited, as they are subject to the Company finalizing its closing procedures and completion of the quarterly review by its independent registered public accounting firm. As such, these results are subject to revision until the Company files its Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2024.

Business Outlook

Gary Yu further commented, “For the fourth quarter of 2024, we expect revenue to be approximately $337 million, plus or minus 3 percent, representing a 3.7% sequential decrease at the mid-point, slightly better than typical seasonality. GAAP gross margin is expected to be 33.0 percent, plus or minus 1 percent. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which are GAAP operating expenses adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, are expected to be approximately 28.0 percent of revenue, plus or minus 1 percent. We expect net interest income to be approximately $2.5 million. Our income tax rate is expected to be 18.0 percent, plus or minus 3 percent, and shares used to calculate diluted EPS for the fourth quarter are anticipated to be approximately 46.7 million.”

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $3.1 million, after tax, for previous acquisitions is not included in these non-GAAP estimates.
