Sphere 3D Provides Corporate Update and Announces Investor Conference Call
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY), a containerization, virtualization, and data management solutions provider, today is providing the following corporate update.
The Company continues to make progress on multiple fronts as it works through its assessment of strategic alternatives. Concurrent with such review, the Company continues to focus on driving its overall business towards profitability.
The Company reports that its preliminary net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 is expected to exceed $21.5 million, representing a 16% increase compared to $18.5 million for the third quarter of 2016, and an 11% increase compared to $19.4 million from the previous quarter.
In addition, the Company was able to make significant improvements to its Adjusted EBITDA loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Although still preliminary, the Company anticipates that the Adjusted EBITDA loss will be at the lowest level since it began reporting this non-GAAP metric in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The Company maintained reductions in operating expenses with a slight improvement in the third fiscal quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2017; the Company continues to evaluate its operating expenses to seek opportunities for additional improvements.
Detailed financial results for the third fiscal quarter of 2017 will be contained in the Company’s Form 6-K, expected to be filed with the SEC on November 9, 2017.
As reported earlier this year, the Company refined its go-to-market approach through the creation of a storage group that is branded as the Overland-Tandberg storage business group and the Virtualization group marketed under the HVE brand.
Subsequent to this, and a byproduct of the strategic review being undertaken, the Company has completed an analysis of its Data Protection & Archive products (which includes RDX, Tape, Media and related Services) and associated costs as a pro-forma business unit within the Overland-Tandberg storage business group. This analysis shows that as a standalone business unit, it would have seen positive Adjusted EBITDA for each of the last eight quarters. The Company believes this product group could see additional growth and profitability with a number of recent product launches, such as its RDX Ransom Block solution and the NEO Agility LTFS product line with its new features that enable integration with Microsoft Azure Cloud. The Company continues to review the overall business with an eye towards unlocking potential value for stakeholders.
