MILPITAS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 22, 2024 / Altigen Technologies (OTCQB:ATGN), a leading provider of digital transformation solutions and services, announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended December 31, 2023.
First Quarter Highlights (Fiscal 2024 versus Fiscal 2023)
Net Revenue decreased 6% to $3.2 million;
Cloud services revenue increased 4% to $1.9 million;
GAAP net loss and loss per share of ($0.3) million and ($0.01), respectively;
Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP loss per share of ($0.2) million and ($0.01), respectively.
The company also announced that Joe Hamblin has joined the leadership team as Chief Digital and Transformation Officer, effective February 19, 2024. Furthermore, the company announced the resignation of Trent Rowley, Chief Operations Officer and Chris Weidemann, Chief Technology Officer, effective March 1, 2024 to pursue other interests.
"Our first quarter results were impacted by a number of issues related to new product rollouts, new internal systems and changes in our organization structure to better align with our business objectives", said Jeremiah Fleming, Altigen President & CEO. "Appropriately dealing with many of these issues required an increase in expenses on a short term basis. The majority of the issues, and associated expenses, have now been addressed with plans to deal with any remaining items this quarter. With the short term expense increases largely behind us along with our new solutions beginning to roll out, Altigen is in a much stronger position to execute than ever before."
"Joe Hamblin's return to the company is also a very exciting development. Joe's experience in the industry, knowledge of the Altigen business, leadership skills and passion for success will be an impactful force in driving the company forward."
Joe Hamblin commented, "I'm pleased to rejoin the Altigen team, particularly at this pivotal point in the company's journey. As Chief Digital and Transformation Officer I have the authority and responsibility to drive all technical, operational and execution strategies. This includes our current solutions and services as well as our new AI initiatives. I believe the company is absolutely poised for success and I'm here to make sure that happens."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of our core operating performance on a period-to-period basis. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation and amortization expenses, acquisition-related costs, change in deferred tax asset valuation allowance, litigation costs and other non-recurring or unusual charges or benefits that may arise from time to time that we do not consider to be directly related to core operating performance. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the core operating performance of our business and to perform financial planning. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that investors benefit from seeing results reviewed by management in addition to seeing GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by facilitating: (i) the comparability of our on-going operating results over the periods presented and (ii) the ability to identify trends in our underlying business.
