  • Gross profit margin of 45.9% in the second quarter, down 2.1% compared to the gross profit margin in the second quarter 2020. The gross profit percentage decline in the second quarter is primarily due to a higher mix of antennas and Industrial IoT devices.

  • $33.4 million of cash and investments and $0.1 million of debt at June 30, 2021 compared to $41.0 million and no debt at December 31, 2020.

“Our antenna business was stable and the test and measurement products continue to perform very well as we address 5G deployments and emerging public safety opportunities,” said David Neumann, PCTEL’s CEO. “We’re excited about our recent acquisition of Smarteq Wireless AB, a leading European supplier of antennas for vehicular, energy and Industrial IoT applications (“Smarteq”). Smarteq’s design wins for Industrial IoT, EV charging stations and vehicles complement our recent antenna design wins in utilities, 5G and metering. We expect market conditions and the demand for our antenna, IoT device and scanner products to improve through the year as global economies recover.”
