Quarterhill Announces First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

KITCHENER, ON, May 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Quarterhill Inc. ("Quarterhill" or the "Company") (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), announces its financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. The Company historically prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in U.S. dollars. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company has adopted IFRS and the Canadian dollar as its reporting currency. The Company has consistently applied the same accounting policies in its opening IFRS statement of financial position at January 1, 2019, and throughout all periods presented as if these policies had always been in effect. All financial information in this press release is reported in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

First Quarter 2020 Highlights

  • Revenue was $26.0 million, including recurring revenue of $6.2 million

  • Adjusted EBITDA* was $0.8 million

  • Net loss was ($5.1) million, or ($0.04) per basic and diluted common share

  • Cash generated from operations was $9.1 million

  • Cash and equivalents were $103.1 million at March 31, 2020

  • Jury awarded US$85.2 million in damages to WiLAN in its patent suit re-trial against Apple

  • Appointed Paul Hill as President and Chief Executive Officer of Quarterhill, effective June 1st

  • Announced on May 19th that it had completed the sale of its total investment in VIZIYA, which represents its Enterprise Software segment, for total cash proceeds of $49.4 million

  • Announced today its intention to undertake a Substantial Issuer Bid ("SIB") and Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB"), which follows the Company's review of alternatives to return capital to shareholders

  • Effective today, Mr. Paul Hill and Dr. Michel Fattouche have been appointed to Quarterhill's Board of Directors


"In Q1, we made operational progress on several initiatives to strengthen the business and drive shareholder value," said John Gillberry, Chair of Quarterhill. "These included WiLAN winning its second jury trial verdict versus Apple, the Company making significant progress on its CEO search and the Board launching an initiative to return capital to shareholders. Both the CEO search and the initiative to return capital to shareholders were concluded subsequent to quarter-end. Regarding our financial performance, Q1 results reflect some of the variability inherent in the revenue model of our licensing business, as well as the favorable impact from some of the cost-cutting initiatives we have undertaken throughout the organization in recent years."

"Q1's operational and financial results were achieved against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, a factor which led us to pause our M&A strategy in March to focus on our team and on our existing operations. We have taken safety precautions to protect our employees and the communities we serve, and all of our businesses remain in operation, doing their best to serve clients, identify new opportunities and close new business. The enhanced precautions we have taken combined with the current economic environment means that in certain circumstances there is some delay in activity related to providing ongoing services or initiating new engagements; however, overall, the operational prospects for all of our businesses remain sound and are backed by the strong financial position of Quarterhill. We will revisit our M&A strategy as the broader situation evolves and with our new CEO coming onboard in June."

"Subsequent to quarter-end, we announced that Paul Hill will be joining Quarterhill as President and CEO and will start on June 1st. Paul is the ideal leader for our business today. He has extensive experience driving growth in the technology industry and has both run organizations as well as led M&A transactions. Paul will initially focus on enhancing operations with our existing portfolio companies, engaging with employees, customers and the investment community, and updating our growth strategy."

Subsequent Event - VIZIYA Sale

On May 19, 2020, Quarterhill announced that that it had completed the sale of its total investment in VIZIYA, which represents its Enterprise Software segment, for total cash proceeds of $49.4 million.  Proceeds from the transaction will be used to support the Company's growth initiatives. The sale of this business segment and all IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations disclosure requirements will be reported in the second quarter financial statements. 

Originally acquired in May 2017, VIZIYA is a software and services provider that helps companies optimize their asset performance and uptime. VIZIYA has been a solid performer and the Company was not proactively looking to sell this investment; however, this opportunistic transaction provides several strategic benefits to Quarterhill. This sale generated significant cash proceeds and delivered a strong internal rate of return on our initial investment. In addition, it enables us to drive our future growth and return some capital to shareholders as further discussed below.

Subsequent Event - Substantial Issuer Bid

Quarterhill is announcing today its intention to make a Substantial Issuer Bid ("SIB") pursuant to which the Company will offer to purchase for cancellation up to $20.0 million of its outstanding common shares ("Shares") from shareholders for cash (the "Proposed Bid"). Subject to market and other conditions, the Company expects that the Proposed Bid, by way of modified-Dutch auction with a price range of not less than $1.95 per Share and not more than $2.15 per Share (in increments of $0.05 per share within that range), will commence in early June 2020 and is scheduled to be completed in early July 2020. The Company intends to fund the Proposed Bid with cash on its balance sheet. Upon completion of the SIB, the Company intends to apply to the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") for a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB"), subject to regulatory approval.

Mr. Gillberry added: "With the search for our new CEO complete, we can now turn our undivided attention to Quarterhill's portfolio companies and capital allocation strategy announced in March. In light of the cash-flow generating potential of our portfolio companies and the pause in our M&A strategy, our Board of Directors has approved the launch of a Substantial Issuer Bid. This decision reflects our solid financial position, further enhanced by the recently announced divestiture of VIZIYA, strong ongoing earnings potential and confidence in Quarterhill's underlying value. Commencing a Substantial Issuer Bid followed by a Normal Course Issuer Bid are part of our return of capital to shareholders."

In the view of management and the Board of Directors, the recent trading price of the Shares is not fully reflective of the value of the Company's business and future prospects and therefore, the purchase of Shares under the Proposed Bid represents an attractive investment and an equitable and efficient means of providing value to its shareholders. Quarterhill's management and its Board of Directors have agreed not to tender any Shares to the Proposed Bid.

Quarterhill has engaged CIBC Capital Markets as its financial advisor and dealer manager in connection with the Proposed Bid.

Subsequent Event - Board of Directors Appointments

Effective today, Mr. Paul Hill and Dr. Michel Fattouche have been appointed to Quarterhill's Board of Directors. "We are very pleased to add these two to our Board," said Mr. Gillberry. "Each is an accomplished technology-industry veteran with Board and leadership experience, and we look forward to leveraging their expertise in areas such as operations, licensing, governance and M&A."

Mr. Hill, as previously announced, will be joining Quarterhill on June 1st as its President and CEO. Dr. Fattouche, who co-founded Wi-LAN Inc. in 1993, is currently a professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Calgary where his work has focused on 5G cellular standards. Dr. Fattouche previously served on the Quarterhill board from 2006 to 2018. 

Mr. Gillberry continued: "We are very excited to have Michel back on our Board. He is an entrepreneur and true innovator whose inventions on 3G and 4G cellular standards led to some of the most commonly used wireless technology today. Michel remains one of Quarterhill's largest shareholders, and we look forward to once again being in a position to benefit from his insightful and trusted counsel as we execute on our growth opportunities."

Approval of Eligible Dividend

The Board of Directors has declared an eligible quarterly dividend of $0.0125 per common share payable on July 3, 2020, to shareholders of record on June 12, 2020.

Q1 2020 Consolidated Financial Review

Consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 ("Q1 2020") were $26.0 million, compared to $53.0 million in Q1 2019. Virtually all of WiLAN's licenses are one-time in nature and accordingly significant fluctuations in revenue, gross margin, and Adjusted EBITDA can result when the volume or dollar value of licenses changes from one period to the next. Revenue was lower year-over-year due primarily to the closure of larger licensing contracts in Q1 2019 in comparison to Q1 2020 wherein WiLAN completed smaller sized contracts. This was offset, in part, by an increase in revenue at VIZIYA.

Recurring revenue was $6.2 million in Q1 2020 compared to $7.5 million in Q1 2019. Certain revenues characterized as recurring have a timing component to them and are recognized when the related work is completed. As such, the decrease in recurring revenue in Q1 2020 is primarily a timing-based issue and does not reflect lower renewal or retention rates.

Gross margin for Q1 2020 was $11.0 million, or 42%, compared to $26.6 million, or 50%, in Q1 2019. Gross margin was lower year-over-year due primarily to lower revenue at WiLAN as described above.

Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative costs ("SG&A"), research and development costs ("R&D"), depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and special charges. Operating expenses for Q1 2020 were $16.6 million, compared to $19.5 million in Q1 2019. Operating expenses in Q1 2020 were lower year-over-year due primarily to lower SG&A, amortization of intangibles and special charges, offset, in part, by higher R&D at IRD and VIZIYA.

Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2020 was $0.8 million compared to $17.1 million in Q1 2019. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA reflects the lower revenue at WiLAN and IRD, offset in part, by higher revenue at VIZIYA and lower corporate expenses.

Net loss for Q1 2020 was ($5.1) million, or ($0.04) per basic and diluted common share, compared to net loss of ($0.05) million, or ($0.00) per basic and diluted common share, in Q1 2019. The year-over-year change was due primarily to the factors described above that impacted Adjusted EBITDA.

Cash generated from operations for Q1 2020 was $9.1 million, compared to ($16.0) million of cash used in operations in Q1 2019. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments increased to $103.1 million at March 31, 2020, compared to $89.4 million at December 31, 2019. The Company had debt of $2.7 million at March 31, 2020, compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2020.

*Non-IFRS Disclosure

Quarterhill  has  historically  used  a  set  of  metrics  when  evaluating  our  operational  and  financial  performance.  We continually monitor, evaluate and update these metrics as required to ensure they provide information considered most useful, in the opinion of our management, to any decision-making based on Quarterhill's performance. This section defines, quantifies and analyzes the key performance indicators used by our management and referred to elsewhere in this  press release,  which  are  not  recognized  under  IFRS  and  have  no  standardized  meaning  prescribed  by  IFRS.  These indicators and measures are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

In this press release, we use the Non-IFRS term "Adjusted EBITDA" to mean net income (loss) from continuing operations before: (i) income taxes; (ii) finance expense or income; (iii) amortization and impairment of intangibles; (iv) special charges and other one-time items; (v) depreciation of right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment; (vi) effects of  deleted  deferred  revenue;  (vii)  stock-based  compensation;  (viii)  foreign  exchange  (gain)  loss;  and  (ix)  equity  in earnings and dividends from joint ventures. Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management to assess our normalized cash generated on a consolidated basis and in our operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA is also a performance measure that may be used by investors to analyze the cash generated by Quarterhill and our operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to net income and cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with IFRS or as a measure of liquidity.
