Quarterhill Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial Results
TORONTO, Nov. 10, 2021 /CNW/ - Quarterhill Inc. ("Quarterhill" or the "Company") (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), announces its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. All financial information in this press release is reported in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
Q3 Fiscal 2021 Highlights
- Consolidated Revenue was $36.3 million
- Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA1 was $7.6 million
- Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $37.0 million at September 30, 2021
- Working capital of $60.0 million at September 30, 2021
- Completed acquisition of Electronic Transaction Consultants, LLC ("ETC") a leading provider of tolling and mobility systems to some of the largest tolling authorities in the U.S.
- Subsequent to quarter-end, completed a $57.5 million bought-deal public offering of convertible debentures, which included the exercise of the full over-allotment option
"In Q3, we acquired ETC, an ITS leader in tolling, which represents significant progress on two fundamental objectives of our M&A growth strategy," said Paul Hill, President and CEO of Quarterhill. "First, it brings scale to our ITS business which enhances the overall financial profile of Quarterhill with more visible and consistent revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Second, it positions us in a vertical - tolling - that we think has significant tailwinds behind it and it also provides us with a second platform in the ITS industry from which we can further accelerate growth via tuck-in acquisitions. So far in 2021 we have deployed approximately $160.0 million on three acquisitions and with our recently completed convertible debenture financing, we look forward to building on our M&A track record in the coming quarters."
"Q3 was a good quarter operationally with both WiLAN, our licensing business, and our ITS segment generating positive Adjusted EBITDA. WiLAN signed multiple licensing agreements and made a patent portfolio acquisition during the quarter, while IRD signed new agreements in Oklahoma, Illinois and Idaho. With ETC, its Q3 contribution reflects only a one-month period post-closing of the acquisition, however, during the quarter the company signed a contract with the Louisville-Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Joint Board to provide back-office technology for services such as billing and account management for a ten-year period. So far the integration of ETC is going well and already here in Q4 they are making good progress advancing opportunities in their pipeline."
Approval of Eligible Dividend
The Board of Directors has declared an eligible quarterly dividend of $0.0125 per common share payable on January 10, 2022, to shareholders of record on December 10, 2021.
Q3 Fiscal 2021 Financial Review
The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ("financial statements") for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and for the respective comparison periods have been prepared to reflect continuing operations and therefore exclude results in 2020 during those periods from VIZIYA, which was sold by Quarterhill on May 15, 2020. The 2020 operating results from VIZIYA, up to the date of sale on May 15, 2020, are reported as net income from discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5.
Quarterhill's revenue is broadly segmented into Licensing, reflecting the WiLAN business, and ITS, reflecting the IRD and ETC businesses. ETC was acquired September 1, 2021 and as a result, the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 include approximately one-month of ETC's financial results.
Quarterhill's Management's Discussion and Analysis and financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are available at the Company's website and at its profile at SEDAR.
Consolidated revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 ("Q3 2021") were $36.3 million, compared to $88.0 million in Q3 2020. Consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 ("YTD 2021") were $74.5 million, compared to $126.4 million in the same period last year. ITS revenue increased in Q3 2021 and YTD 2021 due primarily to the three acquisitions completed in 2021. With the close of the recent quarter, the ITS segment has reported revenue growth quarter over quarter this year to date. WiLAN's revenue decreased in Q3 2021 and in the YTD 2021 period compared to the respective periods in the prior year as the majority of its licenses are generally one-time in nature and significant fluctuations in revenue, gross margin, and Adjusted EBITDA can result when the volume or dollar value of licenses changes from one period to the next. Despite headwinds related to the COVID-19 pandemic, WiLAN continues to show it can complete licensing agreements in a challenging environment with Q3 2021 being its strongest quarter of the year so far.
Gross margin for Q3 2021 was 42% compared to 52% in Q3 2020. Gross margin for the YTD 2021 period was 34% compared to 45% in the same period last year. Gross margin in the ITS segment was 37% in Q3 2021 compared to 50% in Q3 2020, and for the YTD 2021 period was 38%, compared to 42% in the same period last year. ITS margins may fluctuate on a quarterly basis depending primarily on the nature of projects underway during the period and the related margin profile. WiLAN gross margins rose slightly in the quarter and decreased for the YTD 2021 period. Gross margin at WiLAN will fluctuate depending primarily on the level of litigation and contingent legal and partner costs incurred in a respective period relative to revenue generated.
Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative costs ("SG&A"), research and development costs ("R&D"), depreciation and amortization and special charges. Operating expenses for Q3 2021 were $19.1 million compared to $12.1 million in Q3 2020. Operating expenses for the YTD 2021 period were $43.8 million compared to $37.3 million in the same period last year. Operating expenses for Q3 2021 and YTD 2021 included special charges of $3.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Overall, operating expenses have increased in 2021 due primarily to special charges and the addition of expenses from the acquired ITS companies.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2021 was $7.6 million compared to $39.0 million in Q3 2020. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the YTD 2021 period was $4.2 million compared to $37.3 million in the same period last year. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA decreased in the 2021 periods due to the significant level of licensing activity at WiLAN in Q3 2020. On a segment basis, the ITS business generated Adjusted EBITDA of $4.5 million in Q3 2021 and $8.6 million for the YTD 2021 period. WiLAN's Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2021 was $5.4 million and for the YTD 2021 period was $2.7 million.
Cash (used in) generated from continuing operations for Q3 2021 was ($10.9) million compared to $4.5 million in Q3 2020. Cash (used in) generated from continuing operations for the YTD 2021 period was ($15.0) million compared to $9.9 million in the same period last year. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $37.0 million at September 30, 2021, compared to $141.3 million at December 31, 2020, with the decrease reflecting cash deployed on the acquisitions made so far in 2021. Working capital at September 30, 2021, was $60.0 million compared to $159.7 million at December 31, 2020. Subsequent to quarter-end, on October 27, 2021, Quarterhill completed a $57.5 million bought-deal public offering of unsecured subordinated convertible debentures which will be reflected in the balance sheet as at December 31, 2021.

1Non-IFRS Disclosure
Quarterhill has historically used a set of metrics when evaluating our operational and financial performance. We continually monitor, evaluate and update these metrics as required to ensure they provide information considered most useful, in the opinion of our management, to any decision-making based on Quarterhill's performance. This section defines, quantifies and analyzes the key performance indicators used by our management and referred to elsewhere in this press release, which are not recognized under IFRS and have no standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. These indicators and measures are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
In this press release, we use the Non-IFRS term "Adjusted EBITDA" to mean net income (loss) from continuing operations before: (i) income taxes; (ii) finance expense or income; (iii) amortization and impairment of intangibles; (iv) special charges and other one-time items; (v) depreciation of right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment; (vi) stock-based compensation; (vii) foreign exchange (gain) loss; and (viii) equity in earnings and dividends from joint ventures. Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management to assess our normalized cash generated on a consolidated basis and in our operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA is also a performance measure that may be used by investors to analyze the cash generated by Quarterhill and our operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA should not be interpreted as an alternative to net income and cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with IFRS or as a measure of liquidity.
