“Record quarterly revenues and record annual recurring revenues of $36.0 million headlined our third fiscal quarter," said Ron Konezny, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Demand for Digi’s solutions and products, enabling secure, automated and zero touch applications, was at an all-time high, as bookings surpassed our ability to fulfill all orders in a challenging supply chain environment. We welcome the Ctek team into our Infrastructure Management family, addressing the remote monitoring and control needs of our industrial customers. A heartfelt thank you to my outstanding teammates, as we put our customers first while fighting through the dynamic supply chain challenges and evolving pandemic.”

Segment Results

IoT Product & Services

The segment's third fiscal quarter 2021 revenues of $66.8 million increased 5.3% from the same period in the prior fiscal year and increased 1.8% from the previous fiscal quarter. This increase from the prior year fiscal quarter is primarily attributable to revenue from our console server and embedded products. Annualized Recurring Revenue, or ARR, grew 13% from prior year to approximately $13 million. Gross profit margin increased 170 basis points to 55.1% of revenues for the third fiscal quarter of 2021 primarily due to favorable mix within and among our console server, cellular router, embedded, and Xbee® products partially offset by increased production and distribution costs driven by the global supply challenges. Operating income of $6.1 million decreased 5.9% from the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Digi International Reports Third Fiscal Quarter 2021 Results

IoT Solutions

The segment's third fiscal quarter 2021 revenues of $12.3 million increased 78.6% from the same period in the prior fiscal year and increased 5.1% from the previous fiscal quarter. This increase from the prior year fiscal quarter was driven by hardware installations with new and existing customers and increased subscription revenue. Annualized Recurring Revenue, or ARR, grew nearly 37% from prior year to over $23 million. We now service over 79,000 sites as of June 30, 2021, compared to nearly 69,000 sites as of June 30, 2020. Gross profit margin decreased 330 basis points compared to the prior year third fiscal quarter. This is due to volume growth in hardware installations that carry a lower gross margin than subscriptions and increased material and overhead expenses associated with the production and distribution of our products as a result of global supply challenges. Operating loss of $2.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 improved $1.5 million, or 42.6%, versus the $3.6 million operating loss from the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Fiscal 2021 Fourth Quarter Guidance

We anticipate the current supply chain challenges to continue into the fourth fiscal quarter and beyond. High demand for Digi products and services will be tempered by access to key components. For the fourth fiscal quarter 2021, Digi projects revenue to be in a range of $75 million to $79 million, or approximately 3%-8% annual growth. Adjusted EBITDA is projected to be in a range of $10.9 million to $11.9 million. With a diluted share count of 35.1 million shares, we projected EPS to be in a range of $0.07 to $0.09 per diluted share, while our adjusted EPS is projected to be in a range of $0.23 to $0.25 per diluted share.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that arebased on management’s current expectations and assumptions. These statements often can be identified by the use of forward-lookingterminology such as "assume," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "target," "may," "will," "expect," "plan," "potential," "project," "should,"or "continue," or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or similar terminology. Among other items, these statementsrelate to expectations of the business environment in which Digi operates, projections of future performance, perceived marketplace opportunitiesand statements regarding our mission and vision. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertaintiesand assumptions. Among others, these include risks related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the same, risks relatedto global economic volatility and the ability of companies like us to operate a global business in such conditions, the current supplychain and shipping market pressures that are negatively impacting both manufacturing and distribution timelines as well as operating costsfor a wide range of companies globally, the highly competitive market in which our company operates, rapid changes in technologies thatmay displace products sold by us, declining prices of networking products, our reliance on distributors and other third parties to sellour products, the potential for significant purchase orders to be canceled or changed, delays in product development efforts, uncertaintyin user acceptance of our products, the ability to integrate our products and services with those of other parties in a commercially acceptedmanner, potential liabilities that can arise if any of our products have design or manufacturing defects, our ability to defend or settlesatisfactorily any litigation, uncertainty in global economic conditions and economic conditions within particular regions of the worldwhich could negatively affect product demand and the financial solvency of customers and suppliers, the impact of natural disasters andother events beyond our control that could negatively impact our supply chain and customers, potential unintended consequences associatedwith restructuring, reorganizations or other similar business initiatives that may impact our ability to retain important employees orotherwise impact our operations in unintended and adverse ways, the ability to achieve the anticipated benefits and synergies associatedwith acquisitions or divestitures and changes in our level of revenue or profitability which can fluctuate for many reasons beyond ourcontrol. These and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions identified from time to time in our filings with the United States Securitiesand Exchange Commission, including without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020and other filings, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made byus or on our behalf. Many of such factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. These forward-looking statements speak only asof the date for which they are made. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a resultof new information, future events or otherwise.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes adjusted net income, adjusted net income perdiluted share and Adjusted EBITDA, each of which is a non-GAAP measure.

We understand that there are material limitations on the use ofnon-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for GAAP measures, such as net income, for the purpose of analyzing financialperformance. The disclosure of these measures does not reflect all charges and gains that were actually recognized by Digi. These non-GAAPmeasures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principlesand may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies or presented by us in prior reports. In addition, these non-GAAP measuresare not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe that non-GAAP measures have limitations in thatthey do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe thesemeasures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Additionally,Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, the cash requirements for the replacement of depreciated and amortized assets,or changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs.

Digi International Reports Third Fiscal Quarter 2021 Results

We believe that providing historical and adjusted net income andadjusted net income per diluted share, respectively, exclusive of such items as reversals of tax reserves, discrete tax benefits, restructuringcharges and reversals, intangible amortization, stock-based compensation, other non-operating income/expense, changes in fair value ofcontingent consideration,, acquisition-related expenses and interest expense related to acquisitions permits investors to compare resultswith prior periods that did not include these items. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoingoperating results and trends and to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance. In addition, certain of our stockholdershave expressed an interest in seeing financial performance measures exclusive of the impact of these matters, which while important, arenot central to the core operations of our business. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-basedcompensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring charges and reversals, and changes in fair value of contingent considerationis useful to investors to evaluate our core operating results and financial performance because it excludes items that are significantnon-cash or non-recurring items reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We believe that the presentation ofAdjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue is useful because it provides a reliable and consistent approach to measuring our performancefrom year to year and in assessing our performance against that of other companies. We believe this information helps compare operatingresults and corporate performance exclusive of the impact of our capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.
