Wireless
Telecom Group Closes Microlab Sale
Parsippany,
New Jersey, USA - March 1, 2022 -
Wireless Telecom Group (NYSE American: WTT) (the "Company"), announced
today that the sale of Microlab to RF industries, Ltd. has closed, effective March 1, 2022.
Tim
Whelan, CEO of Wireless Telecom Group, Inc. stated, "We are pleased to close the transformative sale of Microlab. As a well-capitalized
and streamlined business, we have a strong competitive position to pursue large, fast-growing global market opportunities. Wireless Telecom
Group is now comprised of our higher-growth, higher-margin Test & Measurement ("T&M") and Radio, Baseband, and Software
("RBS") product groups which we previously announced we intend to operate as two segments from this date forward. In addition,
the Company has repaid its outstanding Term Loan Facility with Muzinich BDC, and has greater cash liquidity and a strengthened balance
sheet following the close".
Mr.
Whelan continued, "In 2021, revenues for our T&M and RBS product groups increased over the prior year by 10% and 150%, respectively.
In addition, T&M and RBS combined operating results for the year ending 2021 delivered $31.5 million of revenue, $33.1 million of
bookings and ended the year with $9.2 million of backlog. These represent 30.8% revenue growth, 12.7% bookings growth, and 30.4% backlog
growth compared to 2020".
Scott
Gibson, Vice Chairman of Wireless Telecom Group stated, "We believe our more focused business, streamlined with a strong balance
sheet, enables an expansion of existing and new customers in our growth markets. I am encouraged by the direction Wireless Telecom Group
is headed, and the enhanced opportunities the Company's evolving products and services have to create value for our shareholders".
