The non-GAAP loss from operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was $10.5 million, or $0.29 per basic share, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per fully diluted share, in the same period of fiscal 2018.
Ed Terino, Chief Executive Officer, SeaChange, said, Our third quarter revenues were a substantial improvement over our prior two quarters of fiscal 2019. We were successful in closing several seven figure deals in Q3, as well as deals with several new companies. We are seeing good pipeline opportunities for sequential bookings growth in Q4'19, including software upgrade opportunities within our service provider customer base as well as several PanoramiC opportunities with new customers.
He added, As we head into FY2020, we are excited by the market's reaction to several product innovations for cFlow and PanoramiC that we have demonstrated at recent industry trade shows and expect to launch in the first half of fiscal 2020.
Peter Faubert, Chief Financial Officer, SeaChange, said, In the third quarter, we completed most elements of the cost reduction program announced in September, which was designed to save approximately $6 million on an annualized basis. We are focused on the goal of returning SeaChange to operating profitability and positive cash flow in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
SeaChange ended the third quarter of fiscal 2019 with cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $32.4 million, and no debt outstanding.
Outlook
SeaChange anticipates fourth quarter fiscal 2019 revenue to be in the range of $16 million to $20 million, U.S. GAAP operating loss from operations of $0.08 to $0.01 per basic share, and non-GAAP operating results between a loss of $0.05 per basic share to income of $0.02 per fully diluted share.
For the full fiscal year 2019, the Company has revised its expectations to anticipate revenue in the range of $61 million to $65 million, U.S. GAAP operating loss of $0.53 to $0.46 per basic share and a non-GAAP operating loss between $0.34 to $0.27 per basic share. Previously the Company had expected revenue in the range of $70 million to $75 million, U.S. GAAP operating loss of $0.37 to $0.26 per basic share and a non-GAAP operating loss between $0.15 to $0.04 per basic share.
These GAAP estimates are subject to a number of variables that are outside of management's control, including the size of restructuring expenses, which are influenced by the timing of certain non-U.S. restructuring activities, and stock price fluctuations.
