Milpitas, CA – January 31, 2023 – Altigen Communications, Inc.

Jerry Fleming, CEO of Altigen said: “Our first quarter results reflected the continuation of our efforts to manage our existing business at a break-even run rate, as we roll out new and updated products that we expect to drive future revenue and profit growth. During the quarter we have now launched our new UCaaS platform, MaxCloud, which is deployed in both Altigen’s and Fiserv’s datacenters, to serve our respective customers. We also launched a new version of our FrontStage CCaaS solution in conjunction with Fiserv, targeting financial services institutions. Finally, just after quarter close, we released a major new version of CoreInteract for Microsoft Teams enabling us to address our customer’s requirements for a cost-effective departmental customer engagement platform.
“In summary, our business has remained stable while we’ve been working hard on the introduction of multiple new products. We are positioned to see a return to revenue growth, margin expansion and higher profits as these ramp.”

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.
