TORONTO, Oct. 31, 2018 /CNW/ - Baylin Technologies Inc. (TSX: BYL) (the "Company" or "Baylin"), a leading, diversified, global wireless technology management company focused on research, design, development, manufacturing and sales of passive and active radio frequency products and services, today announced its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2018. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS

Key highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2018 include the following:

• Revenue grew to $38.2 million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $11.0 million or 40.7% over the third quarter of 2017.
  
  
• Gross profit was $16.2 million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $7.7 million over the third quarter of 2017. Gross margin was 42.3% in the third quarter of 2018, an improvement of eleven percentage points compared to the prior year period.
  
  
• Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2018 excludes certain non-recurring and one-time expenses of $2.3 million which were primarily expenses related to the acquisition of Alga Microwave.
  
  
• Cash on hand at September 30, 2018 was $19.1 million, a reduction of $16.1 million from December 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to cash utilized for payment of a portion of the purchase price for Advantech Wireless and Alga Microwave and an increase in non-cash working capital offset by an increase in cash from a term loan and a bought deal public offering of subscription receipts and convertible debentures.
  
  
• Revenue in the Embedded Antennas and Wireless Infrastructure Groups have continued to increase further diversifying the Company's revenue base.

 ^{(1)   Adjusted EBITDA refers to operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization plus non-recurring items.}

"We are very pleased with the Company's higher gross margins in the third quarter of 2018 due to a higher percentage of revenue from our Wireless Infrastructure products as well as the two acquisitions that we completed this year," stated Randy Dewey, Baylin's President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Since completing the acquisition of Alga Microwave on July 11, 2018, we have been focussed on moving Advantech Wireless' operations into Alga Microwave's facility which we expect will result in cost reductions and improved manufacturing efficiencies," added Mr. Dewey.
