On today's call we have Bill Smith, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Smith Micro; Steve Ziggy Yasbek, Chief Financial Officer; and Carla Fitzgerald, Chief Marketing Officer. Please note that some of the information you will hear during our discussion today will consist of forward-looking statements, including without limitation those regarding the company's future revenues and profitability, new product development and new market opportunities, operating expenses and the company's cash reserves.

Before I turn the call over to Bill Smith, I want to point out that in our forth coming prepared statements we will refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer back to our press release disseminated earlier today for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures. Bill, please go ahead.

Thank you, Todd, and good afternoon, everyone. We are pleased to share very positive results for the first quarter of 2015. First, revenues were up almost 25% year-over-year compared to the first quarter of last year coming in at $10.5 million. Not only did we meet our revenue guidance for the quarter, but we were able to maintain essentially flat revenues from Q4 to Q1, which is a significant accomplishment considering the historical seasonality of our business. The increase in revenues year-over-year was largely driven by the new NetWise business at Comcast, the large multiple service operator or MSO that I have mentioned in previous calls. We also continue to generate strong revenues from NetWise and CommSuite products at Sprint. We were non-GAAP profitable for the second consecutive quarter. We also increased cash for the third consecutive quarter, putting us on a very solid footing for the rest of the year. As you can see we are off to a very good start in 2015. Ziggy will now present the detailed financial results for Q1 and I will follow with some insights into how we see the business developing for the remainder of the year. Ziggy?

Thank you, Bill. Before I go into our customary introductory items, I would like to highlight a few of our accomplishments in the first quarter. Revenues for the quarter were essentially flat with the fourth quarter even though historically Q1 has been a down quarter for us due to the seasonal nature of our business. Revenues were 25% greater than Q1 of last year due to continued strong demand as Sprint for our CommSuite and NetWise products, and our first cable operator Dell adding $1.1 million of revenue for the quarter. We were essentially breakeven on a GAAP basis and we had a non-GAAP net income of $378,000. This is a turnaround of over $3 million from the first quarter of last year. And lastly, cash increase for the third consecutive quarter. Now let me go over our customary introductory items. As we have, in the past quarters, we have provided non-GAAP results and a reconciliation of non-GAAP and GAAP results. The non-GAAP results discussed on this call net out stock-based compensation related expenses and non-cash tax expense or benefit to provide comparable operating results. Accordingly, all results that I refer to in my prepared remarks for both 2015 and 2014 are non-GAAP amounts. Our earnings release, which will be furnished to the SEC on Form 8-K contains a presentation of selected GAAP financial measures and related non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of the differences between the two. The earnings release can also be found in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.smithmicro.com. In terms of our currently completed first quarter, let me provide some details. For the financial modelers, let me provide the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP P&L metrics. In terms of stock-based compensation, stock comp totaled $609,000 for the current period broken out as…

Thanks, Ziggy. As you’ve just heard, Comcast represented more than 10% of our revenues for the quarter. We have recently completed the first commercial launch of NetWise with Comcast. There are several additional phases in this opportunity while we expect revenues to grow over time with Comcast. As I have stated in previous calls and briefings, the revenue stream will be lump based on the fact that cable providers do not preload software on mobile devices, so adoption is less predictable and new licenses are purchased and charged as needed. We are excited about our relationship with Comcast and see it as a catalyst for growth this year and for years to come. Our progress at Comcast has also increased momentum with other MSO prospects. We are currently preparing for a trial with another large MSO in North America, which we hope to convert to new business mid year. And we have active opportunities with MSOs in Europe as well. As these companies look for new ways to extend their services beyond the home and pressure from over-the-top content providers increases, it becomes critical to track and manage quality of experience over any network on any device. Our NetWise solution continues to prove superior to competitive products in achieving this goal. In fact, we have recently completed a trial with a leading mobile network operator, demonstrating our unique capabilities to dynamically adjust connectivity behavior in real-time to maintain a vast connected experience when Wi-Fi access points become congested or fail. To illustrate this dynamic capability, imagine that you are about to meet a colleague at a restaurant within the range of an operator’s Wi-Fi hotspot. Your colleague arrives 10 minutes before you do, connects to the hotspot and begins to experience poor network performance due to congestion. With the typical…

Thank you. [Operator Instructions] And we’ll take our first question from Rich Valera of Needham & Company.

Thank you. I wanted to get a little more color on the second quarter revenue expectations. You mentioned you wouldn't have Comcast particularly which is a little over $1 million. Do you expect to be down sequentially by the full amount of Comcast or might there be some other business that could offset some of that Comcast quarter-over-quarter decline?

Yeah. Rich, it’s Bill. Yeah. I think it would not be the full amount. I think it would be a part of that. But, nonetheless, it does look lumpy and we wanted to call that fact out now just so everybody sets their expectations correctly.

Fair enough. So, I mean, maintaining the full year that’s going to imply a second half averaging looks like $12 million-ish or more per quarter. Do you have anything in hand at this point that wins in hand that should be driving that growth or is that predicated on some of these other trials you’ve talked about one with another MSO and I think one with the telco that you hope to convert over the next quarter or two?

We have a number of opportunities that we believe we are going to close. We are looking for a strong second half. We also look for additional revenues from Comcast in the second half. It just will be -- it will just look lumpy based on the nature of how they purchase licenses. But net-net as historically is always the case, we believe our second half will be very strong and will bring us into the range that we said that we would be in.

Okay. And OpEx, should we expect them flattish from this level or will there be some bit of creep in there?

Richard, this is Ziggy. There would be some creep in the -- in the second quarter. So we are still hiring some, so it will go up slightly in Q2.

Good. Are we talking maybe a couple hundred K something of that magnitude?

I’d say maybe more likely the $500,000 range.

Okay. And then sustaining at that level as we move through the year?

If it goes up, it will be very little as we add a few heads here and there but if we start to see softer revenues or if they push out then we’ll slow down the hiring.

Right, right. And then Bill, I just wondered if you could maybe dig in to these couple of big trials that sounds like you have one with another MSO beside Comcast. What needs to happen to get that one over the finish line in any technical issues or is it just down to kind of business agencies, any color on that one?

Yeah. I think from the standpoint of how MSO is viewed as they want to see that the benefits that they believe they are going to get are realized during the trials. So then they can move forward with a certain degree of confidence. The mere fact that the largest MSO in North America is now our customer but really pleased that Comcast allow us to identify as such. Also it’s a great vote of confidence and I think will also help us in the MSO marketplace. As far as the other trial that we just completed this is a -- this is kind of a big deal into quality of service question is a very strong driver to retention of customers. And so every carrier, everywhere in the world, it’s focused on how do we hold on to subs we got. And this product offering with a dynamic change in the policies on the fly really speaks to that need and delivers the best possible connectivity for the curious customer. So we’re very bullish about that. We are way out in front of competition in this field. And we look for this to service well then only the rest of this year, we’re going into 2016 as well.

Hey, Rich, this is Ziggy. We are also expecting some second half business from our relationship with Comverse. So we are looking for something out of that also.

That’s helpful. I was actually going to ask about that Comverse. So you’ve add identified some opportunities through Comverse on the CommSuite side, and you’re hoping to get some business from that in the second half?

Yes.

That’s great. Those are my questions. Thank you, gentlemen.

Thanks.

[Operator Instruction] And we’ll take our next question from Kevin Dede of H.C. Wainwright.

Yeah. Thank you, gentlemen. Congrats and nice job.

Thank you.

Let me just sort of….

Kevin, I think we lost you.

That caller did just disconnect.

Okay. We can re-queue him when he dials back in.

Yeah. Let him to go ahead and repoll operator.

[Operator Instruction] And there are no questions, at this time.

Okay. Thank you, Operator. Thank you for joining everyone today. We look forward to updating everyone on our progress over the coming months. And of course, if anyone has any follow-up questions, please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to answer them for you. Thanks again and this concludes our call. Have a great day.

This does conclude today’s conference. We thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
