CalAmp Reports Fiscal 2020 First Quarter Financial Results

IRVINE, Calif., June 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a technology solutions pioneer leading transformation in a global connected economy, today reported its financial results for the fiscal 2020 first quarter ended May 31, 2019.

"We made significant progress on our strategic initiatives in the quarter with the achievement of record Software and Subscription Services revenue and markedly improved supply chain performance, thereby contributing to consolidated revenue at the high-end of our guidance," said Michael Burdiek, president and chief executive officer. "The integration of our recent acquisitions is progressing well with identified incremental revenue synergies that we believe will further bolster our Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") business expansion toward our targeted quarterly run-rate of more than $30 million exiting the year. Looking forward, we believe the first fiscal quarter represents an inflection point in our business, with a positive outlook of revenue and EBITDA growth as we move into the second half of the fiscal year."

First Quarter Fiscal 2020 Financial Highlights

• Consolidated revenue for the first quarter was $89.1 million, down 6% year-over-year due to a decline in Telematics Systems product sales and up 6% sequentially due to increased subscription revenue.
• Software and Subscriptions Services revenue for the first quarter increased 38% year-over-year to $25.5 million, or 29% of consolidated revenue driven by recent acquisitions coupled with CalAmp iOn fleet management and LoJack^® subscription services.
• Telematics Systems revenue for the first quarter was $63.6 million, down 17% year-over-year as expected, principally due to a decline in MRM Telematics and legacy LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery (SVR) product sales.
• Worldwide subscribers increased to over 1.2 million with the recent acquisitions of Tracker (UK) (Tracker), Car Track (LoJack Mexico) and Synovia Solutions, further accelerating the transition to a global software and solutions provider.
• GAAP net loss for the first quarter was $8.7 million, or $0.26 per share, reflecting non-recurring legal expenses and purchase accounting adjustments related to the recent acquisitions.
• Adjusted basis non-GAAP net income for the first quarter was $4.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, at the high-end of guidance.
• Operating cash outflow for the first quarter was $5.6 million, with Adjusted EBITDA of $7.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 8%, in line with guidance.

Business and Recent Highlights

• Secured large SaaS contract with a prominent Mid-Atlantic State Department of Transportation agency valued at $10 million for an initial 5-year term.
• Announced a partnership with Cryoport to provide advanced supply chain visibility solutions to secure global enterprise customers that require temperature-controlled and monitoring solutions for the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry.
• Announced partnership with Dogo Informatique to expand access to fleet and supply chain management solutions with an order from their customer, CTTMX, for CalAmp telematics and supply chain visibility technology to enable cold-chain shipments in Mexico and Latin America using 3G and 4G networks.
• Received the 2019 IoT Evolution "Industrial IoT Product of the Year" award for the CalAmp iON fleet management software solution.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2020 Business Outlook

Mr. Burdiek continued, "Our second quarter outlook reflects revenue momentum across our SaaS businesses combined with an increase in MRM Telematics sales due to customer LTE transitions."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

"GAAP" refers to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This announcement includes non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G promulgated by the SEC. We believe that our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

In this announcement, we report the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted basis net income, Adjusted basis net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Investment Income, Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration expenses, non-cash costs and expenses arising from purchase accounting adjustments, litigation provisions, gain from legal settlement and certain other adjustments as detailed in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliation), and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted basis net income excludes the impact of intangible assets amortization expense, stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense, acquisition and integration expenses, non-cash costs and expenses arising from purchase accounting adjustments, litigation provisions, gain on legal settlement and certain other adjustments as shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation provided in the table at the end of this announcement.  We use these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with an overall understanding of the financial performance and future prospects of our core business activities. Management does not believe that these items are reflective of our underlying performance. Internally, these non-GAAP measures are significant measures used by management for purposes of evaluating our core operating performance, establishing internal budgets, calculating return on investment for development programs and growth initiatives, comparing performance with internal forecasts and targeted business models, strategic planning, evaluating and valuing potential acquisition candidates and how their operations compare to our operations, and benchmarking performance externally against our competitors. We believe this non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into our ongoing performance and have therefore chosen to provide this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate our results of ongoing operations and enable more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. The presentation of these and other similar items in our non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual. We have not included a quantitative reconciliation of our quarterly financial guidance for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted basis net income per diluted share to revenues and net loss per share, respectively, as the GAAP measures that we exclude from our non-GAAP financial information are difficult to reliably provide at this time without unreasonable effort.
