Our non-GAAP EBITDA results exclude the following non-cash expenses: tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization and stock compensation expense, as well as expenses for interest, rental income from a property investment, a one-time gain from the sale of an investment security and certain non-recurring costs. The non-cash portion of the 2013 tax benefit was primarily due to a decrease in the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The non-cash portion of the 2014 tax provision relates to the reduction of the Company’s deferred tax asset based on estimated Federal taxable income and estimated utilization of net operating losses thereon. A reconciliation of Net Income to non-GAAP EBITDA results is included as an attachment to this press release.
Paul Genova, CEO of Wireless Telecom Group, Inc. commented, "We continue to experience strong order flow in our Network Solutions segment and are encouraged by our Test and Measurement customers’ recent order flow in our new USB peak power meter. We remain committed to our ongoing investment in products for the DAS and LTE marketplace which we believe will benefit the Company through increased revenue, earnings and improved cash flow."
Genova continued, "In April, we repurchased 4.8M shares from our largest shareholder for $2.00 per share. We believe the stock repurchase represents an attractive use of our capital and reflects our commitment to the enhancement of long-term shareholder value."
Genova continued, "We look forward to continued improvement in our operating activities and cash flows as we execute our strategic plan and pursue opportunities that will increase shareholder value."
