“In the third quarter, we saw sequential growth across all three of our product lines — broadband, mobile and infrastructure — which translated into meaningful revenue and profitability improvements compared to Q2 2014,” said Ephraim Ulmer , President and Chief Executive Officer of Baylin. “Emerging from a challenging first half of 2014, we’re encouraged by our success in diversifying the business by product line and customer. Our infrastructure revenue continues to grow strongly and we have sales momentum with our in-building, stadium, and, more recently, our outdoor DAS products. Third-quarter revenue from these products was more than double the revenue we generated in all of 2013. We’re also pleased with the results and pipeline in broadband, where our sales efforts over the past 18 months are yielding results, and we have become a leader in carrier-grade home gateways, a new product area. This will be one of the growth drivers for the broadband product line, moving into 2015. Lastly, despite significant industry headwinds in the mobile space, we are winning new projects and a number of phone and tablet OEMs are evaluating our 4GA™* leading broadband antenna technology which is specifically optimized for devices with high speed LTE Advanced connectivity.”

Third quarter 2014

Financial Summary Revenue for Q3 2014 was $13.4 million, an increase of 25.0% from $10.7 million in Q2 2014, driven by higher sales in the Company’s three product lines. Compared with Q3 2013, revenue decreased by 32.7%. The year-over-year decrease was as a result of a previously disclosed substantial reduction in orders from a key mobile customer. This was the main factor in the year-over-year decreases in revenue, gross profit and adjusted EBITDA. The reduction in revenue from this one customer was offset, in part, by strong sales of new antenna products in broadband and infrastructure.

Gross profit for Q3 2014 was $3.2 million, an increase of $1.2 million over $2.0 million in Q2 2014. Gross margin for Q3 2014 was 23.8%, compared with 18.8% in Q2 2014. These sequential improvements reflect higher sales in all product lines, particularly in broadband and infrastructure. Q3 2013 gross profit was $5.8 million and gross margin was 29.2%.

General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses for Q3 2014 were $2.3 million, a 71.1% decrease compared to $7.9 million for Q3 2013. The year-over-year decrease was a result of a $6.1 million share-based compensation expense recognized in Q3 2013.

Sales and Marketing expenses for Q3 2014 were $1.0 million, a 44.4% increase compared to $0.7 million in Q3 2013. The increase is due to greater trade show participation and recruitment of new sales and marketing employees, which are aimed at generating increased support for the continued growth in sales momentum and greater brand awareness.

Q3 2014 adjusted EBITDA improved by $1.2 million to $(1.4) million onlinepharmacies247.com/zovirax_generic.html compared to $(2.6) million in Q2 2014. Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2013 was $2.5 million. The year-over-year decrease reflects the above mentioned reduction in orders from a key mobile customer.

As at September 30, 2014 there were 18.7 million common shares outstanding.

(1) Non-IFRS Measures

Baylin use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure its strength and its future ability to generate and sustain earnings. EBITDA refers to earnings before interest (finance expenses, net), taxes, depreciation and amortization and discontinued operations. Adjusted EBITDA refers to EBITDA less items of an exceptional nature that are outside of the ordinary course of business. Such items include, but are not limited to, certain exceptional, non-recurring share-based compensation, capital gains and losses, restructuring costs, recognition of significant provisions and other significant non cash transactions. Baylin does not believe these items reflect the underlying performance of its business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS performance measures.

Baylin believes that, in addition to net earnings, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful complementary measures of pre-tax profitability and are commonly used by the financial and investment community for valuation purposes.
