KVH Industries Reports First Quarter 2013 Results
• | EPS $0.13; record quarterly revenue of $39.9 million |
• | mini-VSAT Broadband airtime revenue up 42% year-over-year |
• | Guidance & Stabilization Q1 revenue up 189% year-over-year |
MIDDLETOWN, RI, March 31, 2013 -- KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. Revenue for the first quarter of 2013 was $39.9 million, up 49% from the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter totaled $0.13 on net income of $2.0 million. During the same period last year the company reported a net loss of $1.4 million or $(0.09) per share on revenues of $26.7 million.
“Our third sequential record revenue quarter reflects continued growth from both our broadband communications and guidance and stabilization businesses,” said Martin Kits van Heyningen, KVH's chief executive officer. “Our TACNAV and FOG product lines generated solid results in the first quarter of 2013, with year-over-year growth of 586% and 93%, respectively. On the marine side, our VSAT airtime business continues to grow rapidly with revenues in the first quarter increasing 42% compared to the same quarter last year.”
KVH's mobile communications revenue, including satellite television products, was $22.9 million for the first quarter of 2013, a 10% increase year-over-year. Combined, in the first quarter, mini-VSAT Broadband airtime and TracPhone product revenues amounted to $14.8 million, up 16% compared to the same period last year.
Mr. Kits van Heyningen commented, “Overall, our marine business continues to grow. However, our marine leisure business in Europe and North America was impacted by an unusually cold spring which hopefully has merely delayed purchases into the next quarter. In Europe, our commercial marine business was also impacted by the continuing economic conditions, particularly in southern Europe.”
KVH's guidance and stabilization revenue, which relates to our fiber optic gyro (FOG) solutions, TACNAV military navigation systems and related services, was $17.0 million in the first quarter of 2013, up 189% year-over-year. Sales of TACNAV and related services for the previously announced Saudi Arabian National Guard contract were approximately $8.9 million, consisting of product sales, construction services for an installation facility, and project management services. During the first quarter, sales of our FOGs were up 93%, at $5.9 million, compared to the same period last year.
Speaking about the company's financial results, Peter Rendall, KVH's chief financial officer, said, “We are pleased with the financial performance of both the mobile communications and guidance and stabilization businesses. Our gross margin for the first quarter was 39.5%, which showed an improvement of 230 basis points over the first quarter last year. This was largely the result of very strong shipments of our military tactical navigation products, and also reflects ongoing improvements in our overall manufacturing efficiencies.”
“Our mini-VSAT Broadband airtime service revenues for the quarter continued to demonstrate the leverage of our model and were close to $10 million, despite temporary seasonal service suspensions. Compared to the same period last year, gross profit amounts in the first quarter of 2013 from our mini-VSAT Broadband airtime were approximately 63% higher in the current first quarter, while the gross margin percentage increased from 28% to 32%. Operating expenses were higher than the first quarter of 2012 largely due to sales-related costs associated with the relatively large TACNAV shipments in the first quarter of 2013.”
“Our expectation for the remainder of 2013 includes an expectation that our mini-VSAT Broadband business will show strong year-over-year growth. Although we have seen the first hint of a slowdown in future U.S. defense sales resulting from the implementation of sequestration measures, our FOG business is expected to benefit from new commercial applications throughout the rest of the year. In fact, for the first time, our sales of FOGs to commercial customers exceeded 50% of our total FOG revenues during the first quarter. Our guidance and stabilization backlog grew by approximately $5 million during the quarter and amounted to $38 million at March 31, 2013. We remain cautious with respect to expectations for growth in leisure markets, due to ongoing challenges in global economies. We also have factored in the anticipated decline in TACNAV product
sales in the second half of 2013 as hardware shipments under the Saudi Arabian National Guard program come to an end. With this context, we continue to hold our guidance for top line growth for the year to be in the range of 10% to 17%, which equates to $151 million to $160 million in revenue. We expect to achieve a full year operating margin in the range of approximately 4% to 8%. We are projecting that our annual effective tax rate will be 35% or higher, subject to the effect of unforeseen discrete items, resulting in a 39% tax rate for the remaining nine months of the year. The net result is that we are holding to our previous EPS guidance for the full year, which we expect to be in the range of $0.37 to $0.48 per diluted share.”
“For the second quarter of 2013, we expect revenue to be in the range of $39.5 million to $41.5 million, up 23% to 30% compared to the second quarter last year and expect both our mini-VSAT Broadband and guidance and stabilization businesses to achieve strong year-over-year growth. We expect our operating margin to show significant improvement year-over-year, and we expect net income in the range of $0.08 to $0.12 per diluted share compared to a net income per diluted share of $0.03 in the second quarter of 2012.”
Mr. Kits van Heyningen concluded, “We are very pleased with our overall progress so far this year and feel that we are on the path toward achieving our longer-term strategic objectives. During the quarter, we continued with a significant upgrade to the capacity of our network by deploying new modulation technology. By enhancing the efficiency of our network, we effectively more than doubled our data-carrying capacity, putting us in a good position to capture additional market share.”
“In addition, we plan to introduce new valued-added services to our mini-VSAT Broadband customers that we believe will continue to disrupt the maritime communications market and develop new products that will drive further demand from the inertial guidance market. With our current product portfolio and market position, we are also optimistic that we will be able to leverage our investments to even greater benefit as the economy continues to recover.”

This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. For example, forward-looking statements include statements regarding our financial goals for future periods, and our anticipated revenue growth, market share, competitive positioning, profitability, and product orders. The actual results we achieve could differ materially from the statements made in this press release. Factors that might cause these differences include, but are not limited to: the impact of extended economic weakness and increasing fuel prices on the sale and use of motor vehicles and marine vessels; the need to increase sales of the TracPhone V-series products and related services to improve airtime gross margins; the need for, or delays in, qualification of products to customer or regulatory standards; unanticipated declines or changes in customer demand, due to economic, seasonal, and other factors, particularly with respect to the TracPhone V-series products; potential declines in military sales, including to foreign customers, such as the anticipated decline in sales of TACNAV to the Saudi Arabian National Guard; the unpredictability of defense budget priorities as well as the order timing, purchasing schedules, and priorities for our defense products, including possible order cancellations; the uncertain impact of potential budget cuts by government customers, including the effects of sequestration; potential reductions in our overall gross margins in the event of a shift in product mix; and currency fluctuations, export restrictions, delays in procuring export licenses, and other international risks. These and other factors are discussed in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2013.

Adjusted net loss excluding the income tax expense from shortfalls associated with stock options and restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is presented in the table above. This is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered a replacement for GAAP results. We believe the adjusted information is useful to investors because it is reflective of underlying operational trends, as it excludes significant non-recurring or otherwise unusual transactions as described above. Our criteria for adjusted net loss may differ from models used by other companies and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss prepared in accordance with US GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance.
