The company will hold a conference call to discuss these results at 10:30 a.m. ET today, which can be accessed at investors.kvh.com.

Recent KVH Highlights

• Selected after competitive bid to provide mini-VSAT Broadband hardware, airtime, and value added services to a maritime fleet for a minimum of 100 vessels.
• Announced that one of the world’s leading ship managers, Thome Ship Management, selected KVH Media Group’s MOVIElink service for 41 vessels.
• Announced that one of the largest global transportation, logistics and terminal companies, Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL), renewed its fleet-wide KVH Videotel Maritime Training Contract.
• Sales of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) continued strong in both commercial and military markets, including key sales replacing competitors’ products.

For the second quarter of 2016, our revenues were $46.0 million, up 2.5% from a year ago; our net loss was $0.8 million, or $0.05 per share, while non-GAAP net income was $1.2 million, or $0.08 per share. During the same period last year, we reported a GAAP net profit of $0.0 million, or $0.00 per share, and a non-GAAP net income of $2.1 million, or $0.13 per share.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $4.6 million in the prior year quarter. Included in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $1.2 million and $1.3 million related to the amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

“Overall, given the continued headwinds in the commercial maritime markets, we are pleased with our financial results in the second quarter, approaching the high end of the range of our guidance for EPS and adjusted EBITDA and the midpoint for revenue,” said Martin Kits van Heyningen, KVH’s chief executive officer. “Our gross profit margins of 43% for the quarter were up 2% sequentially and flat with the second quarter of 2015. We had another solid quarter in our mini-VSAT business, with average revenue per subscriber (ARPUs), and airtime revenues increasing sequentially, and we came to an agreement to upgrade a customer with a large fleet of vessels to KVH's new, high speed, usage-based service plan, mini-VSAT Broadband 2.0.”

Second Quarter Financial Summary

Revenue was $46.0 million for the second quarter of 2016, an increase of 2.5% compared to the second quarter of 2015, notwithstanding weakness in the British Pound that negatively impacted revenue by $0.4 million or 1.0%. Second quarter product revenues of $20.1 million were 12.3% higher than the prior year quarter, due to a 40.4% year-over-year increase in guidance and stabilization product revenues, partially offset by a decrease in sales of our mobile communications products of 2.6%. Service revenues for the second quarter of 2016 were $25.9 million a decrease of 3.7% compared to the second quarter of 2015. Airtime service revenues of $16.0 million, which include mini-VSAT Broadband airtime revenues, were down 1%, year-over-year, primarily driven by flat mini-VSAT airtime revenues and a 28% decrease in Inmarsat FleetBroadband revenues. Content and services revenues, which include our entertainment, e-Learning and safety content, were down 7.3% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015. British Pound weakness negatively impacted content and service revenue by $0.4 million, or 4.5%.

Six-Months Ended June 30 Financial Summary

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, revenue was $86.4 million, up 0.2% compared to $86.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Weakness in the British Pound negatively impacted revenue in 2016 by $0.9 million or 1.0%. Product revenues for the 2016 six-month period of $35.5 million, were 6.3% higher than the comparable period last year, primarily as a result of a 24.2% increase in guidance and stabilization product revenues year-over-year, which was partially offset by a decrease in sales of our mobile communications products of 2.0% year-over-year. Service revenues for the 2016 six-month period of $50.9 million were 3.6% lower than the comparable period last year. Airtime service revenues in the 2016 six-month period decreased 1.6% year-over-year while content and services revenues decreased 6.8%.

Third Quarter 2016 and Full Year 2016 Outlook

Overall KVH expects continued growth and improving profitability for the second half of the year. We expect solid year-over-year growth in our marine mini-VSAT business and our defense business. For the full year, we still anticipate at least two significant TACNAV orders that will be received and shipped during Q4. Fulfillment of these orders are critical to meeting our full-year guidance, which we are reaffirming as set out below. Also, a portion of our revenues and costs are denominated in pounds sterling, and there have recently been significant fluctuations in currency movements relative to the U.S. dollar. Significant changes to currency exchange rates, particularly between the U.S. dollar and pounds sterling, may have a material impact on our earnings.

• Revenue for the full year is projected to be in the range of $190 million to $210 million.
• For the full year, net income is projected to be in the range of $2.0 million to $6.7 million with GAAP diluted EPS projected to be in the range of $0.12 to $0.42, with non-GAAP diluted EPS for the full year projected to be in the range of $0.66 to $0.96. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is projected to be in the range of $21.0 million to $28.0 million.
• Revenue for the third quarter is projected to be in the range of $44 million to $46 million.
• For the third quarter, net income (loss) is projected to be in the range of a net loss of $0.5 million to net income of $0.4 million with GAAP net income (loss) per share to be in the range of a net loss of $0.03 per share to net income of $0.02 per share and with non-GAAP diluted net income per share for the third quarter projected to be in the range of $0.08 to $0.13. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is projected to be in the range of $3.8 million to $5.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Provided in this release is non-GAAP financial information, including non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted EPS, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, as a supplement to the condensed financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing financial results to assess operational performance and (only in the case of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA) liquidity. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. KVH believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. KVH believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used in making operating decisions and because its investors and analysts use them to help assess the health of its business.

Some limitations of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP diluted EPS, include the following:

• Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, and adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting in connection with acquisitions.
• Non-GAAP net income (loss) and basic and diluted EPS exclude acquisition-related expenses, adjustments resulting from the application of purchase accounting in connection with acquisitions, adjustments related to stock-based compensation and intangible amortization, and also excludes any discrete tax items.

Other companies, including companies in KVH’s industry, may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which will reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures together with other financial performance measures, including net income (loss), diluted net income (loss) per share, and KVH’s other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. See the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations below for further details.

For example, forward-looking statements include statements regarding our financial goals for future periods, our anticipated revenue, competitive positioning, profitability, and product orders. The actual results could differ materially from the statements made in this press release. Factors that might cause these differences include, but are not limited to: our competitive bid for the 100-vessel mini-VSAT Broadband contract described above is presently subject only to a letter of intent, which could expire without a definitive agreement or could result in an agreement with less favorable terms; we may not satisfy the minimum criteria set forth in the letter of intent; continued adverse impacts of currency fluctuations; risks associated with the impact of Brexit on sales and operations in the U.K. and Europe and on the overall global economy; potential reduced sales to companies in or dependent upon the turbulent oil and gas industry; continued substantial fluctuations in military sales, including to foreign customers; the unpredictability of defense budget priorities as well as the order timing, purchasing schedules, and priorities for defense products, including possible order cancellations; the uncertain impact of potential budget cuts by government customers; the impact of extended economic weakness on the sale and use of motor vehicles and marine vessels; the need to increase sales of the TracPhone V-IP 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-IP series, including with respect to new pricing models; recent increases in airtime termination rates and lower unit sales in our mobile business; increased price and service competition in the mobile communications market; potential increased expenses associated with investments in new technology; exposure for potential intellectual property infringement; potential additional litigation expenses; fluctuations in interest rates; potential changes in tax and accounting requirements or assessments, including management’s assessment of the probability and effect of future events; stock price volatility; and export restrictions, delays in procuring export licenses, and other international risks.
