Altigen Communications, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results for Fiscal Year 2022

Secures initial customers for each of its new CoreInteract, MaxCloud and FrontStage platforms

MILPITAS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 18, 2022 / Altigen Communications, Inc. (OTCQB:ATGN), a Silicon Valley-based cloud solutions provider for the Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) and our Customer Engagement as a Service (CEaaS) markets, announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2022.

"I'm excited to say that customer interest in our new UCaaS, CCaaS and CEaaS platforms has been substantial, and, in fact, we signed our first customers for each during the second quarter," said Jerry Fleming, chairman and CEO of Altigen. "Additionally, we made great strides towards building a robust pipeline of opportunities and further advancing our new product roadmap, both of which we believe will drive higher revenue growth and profitability in fiscal 2023 and beyond.

"Looking to the future, we have a tremendous opportunity ahead in the UCaaS, CCaaS and CEaaS markets. In addition to CoreInteract (CEaaS) recently being named a Microsoft Preferred Solution, to date, we have closed over a dozen customers for our CoreInteract products for Microsoft Teams. Additionally, our pipeline continues to grow, and we now have about 50 potential opportunities for which we have submitted proposals. We are also continuing to enhance CoreInteract with new features and functionality that customers are requesting for this market.

"I am also very optimistic about our relationship with fintech giant Fiserv for our MaxCloud (UCaaS) and FrontStage (CCaaS) platforms, both of which were recently deployed for a mid-size regional bank. There is a large opportunity here to upgrade existing Fiserv customers to MaxCloud as well as introduce these new solutions to new customers. Additionally, there is a strong demand for contact center solutions by Fiserv customer base, presenting a large upsell opportunity for FrontStage over time.

"Finally, we are seeing customer wins in our third-party channel, whether it be converting our roughly 500 on premise clients to the cloud first model or upgrading our existing base of 350 cloud customers to MaxCloud. We anticipate converting most of these existing customers over the next 18-24 months, which we expect will be an incremental contributor to revenue growth while reducing our costs to service these customers."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of our core operating performance on a period-to-period basis. The excluded items represent stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expenses and other non-recurring or unusual items that may arise from time to time that we do not consider to be directly related to core operating performance. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the core operating performance of our business and to perform financial planning. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that investors benefit from seeing results reviewed by 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 facilitating: (i) the comparability of our on-going operating results over the periods presented and (ii) the ability to identify trends in our underlying business.

The following are explanations of each type of adjustment that we incorporate into non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense

Stock-based compensation expense is impacted by the Company's future hiring and retention needs and the future fair market value of the Company's common stock, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change. Furthermore, stock-based compensation expense is generally fixed at the time of grant, then amortized over a period of several years, and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the grant. The Company believes that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense assists investors in the comparisons of operating results to peer companies. Stock-based compensation expense can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted.

Depreciation and amortization expenses

Depreciation and amortization expense includes the depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of capitalized software, as well as amortization of intangible assets. Such expenses are fixed at the time of an acquisition, then amortized over a period of several years. While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under GAAP, these expenses primarily represent non-cash current period expense which vary widely from company to company. Management believes that the exclusion of depreciation and amortization expense provides a supplemental measure of the Company's ongoing operating performance.

Acquisition-related amortization

Acquisition-related amortization consists of customer relationships recorded in connection with our acquisition of Blue Panda Communications in September 2020. We exclude acquisition-related amortization as we believe the amount of such non-cash expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations.

Gain on forgiveness of PPP loan

Gain on forgiveness of PPP loan has been excluded because this is a one-time forgiveness of debt that is not recurring across all periods, and we believe inclusion of the gain is not representative of operating performance.

Other non-recurring or unusual charges

The Company has excluded certain other expenses that are the result of other, non-comparable events to measure operating performance. These events arise outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations. Given the unique nature of the matters relating to these costs, the Company believes these items are not normal operating expenses. For example, legal settlements and judgments vary significantly, in their nature, size and frequency, and, due to this volatility, the Company believes the costs associated with legal settlements and judgments are not normal operating expenses. The Company believes that the exclusion of such out-of-the-ordinary-course amounts provides supplemental information to assist in the comparison of the financial results of the Company from period to period and, therefore, provides useful supplemental information to investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation. They should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
