Unwired Planet, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results
Unwired Planet, Inc. (UPIP), today announced financial results for the
second quarter 2013.
“Over the past year we have transformed the company into a premier
intellectual property firm. From our enforcement actions in Delaware and
Nevada, and our streamlined corporate structure in Reno, Nevada, to the
prospects of our recently announced patent deal with Ericsson, Unwired
Planet is poised to deliver on its IP model,” said Mike Mulica, Chief
Executive Officer of Unwired Planet. “This quarter we have also made
additions to our Board of Directors, which we believe will further
strengthen the Company as we seek to accelerate the pace on execution on
our long-term strategy and monetize the company’s significant assets.”
On a GAAP basis, net loss for the second fiscal quarter ended December
31, 2012 was $11.6 million, or $0.13 per share, compared with a net loss
of $15.1 million, or $0.17 per share, in the prior quarter and with a
net loss of $10.4 million, or $0.12 per share, in the December quarter
of the preceding year.
On a non-GAAP basis, net loss for the first fiscal quarter ended
December 31, 2012 was $6.1 million, or $0.07 per share, compared with a
net loss of $8.1 million, or $0.09 per share, in the prior quarter and a
net loss of $4.7 million, or $0.05 per share, in the December quarter of
the preceding year. Non-GAAP net loss excludes restructuring,
stock-based compensation, strategic costs, discontinued operations and
the tax impact of these items.
A reconciliation between net income (loss) and net income (loss) per
share on a GAAP basis and a non-GAAP basis is provided below in a table
immediately following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
Non-GAAP Measure
The Company’s stated results include the non-GAAP measures: non-GAAP net
income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. These non-GAAP
measures exclude certain items that generally are non-recurring events
or are non-cash items that many other companies exclude, in order to
compare Unwired Planet with other companies, such as stock-based
compensation. These non-GAAP measures also exclude items which
management does not consider in evaluating Unwired Planet’s on-going
business, such as restructuring costs and discontinued operations.
Unwired Planet considers non-GAAP net income (loss) to be an important
metric because it provides a useful measure of the operational
performance of Unwired Planet and is used by Unwired Planet's management
for that purpose. In addition, investors often use measures such as
these to evaluate the financial performance of a company. These non-GAAP
measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for
understanding Unwired Planet's operating results. These non-GAAP results
should not be considered a substitute for financial information
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
