CalAmp Reports Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a connected intelligence company helping businesses and people track, monitor and recover vital assets with real-time visibility and insights, today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2022 ended August 31, 2021.

"We achieved another quarter of solid revenue growth in our Software and Subscription Services business, which also contributed to an increase in our consolidated gross margin," commented Jeff Gardner, CalAmp's president and chief executive officer. "Key to this performance was the initial conversion of a few strategic customers to our new CTC platform as well as the fulfillment of a major trailer retrofit program, all of which are under recurring subscription contracts. In addition, we continued to see ongoing orders globally in support of the 3G-to-4G transition, but the persistent component shortages in the supply chain have limited our ability to fully ship against our backlog."   

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Overview

• Total revenue increased 6% from the prior year quarter to $79 million.
• Software and Subscription Services (S&SS) revenue was a record $41 million, representing 52% of consolidated revenue, which was up 24% from the prior year quarter.
• Telematics Products revenue was $38 million, down 16% sequentially as supply chain shortages affected shipments despite continuing strong demand from customers engaged in the 3G-to-4G transition.
• Sales to its largest customer were $14.0 million, up 2% from the prior-year quarter.
• Gross margin was 42%, an increase of 150 basis points sequentially due to S&SS revenue growth and product mix.
• GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $5.4 million, or a loss of $0.15 per share.
• Adjusted basis non-GAAP net income was $2.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $8.3 million, or 11% of revenue compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $5.0 million, or 7% of revenue in the prior year.
• Total S&SS subscribers were 988,640, a 4% increase from the prior-year quarter, excluding the Automotive Vehicle Finance business.
• Ended the quarter with $101.1 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Other Business and Recent Highlights

• CalAmp's LoJack® Italia subsidiary launched CalAmp iOn™ in Italy, a fully integrated fleet and asset management solution that helps transportation, industrial, government, commercial and service fleet operators reduce costs, increase operational efficiency and improve fleet safety.
• Teamed up with Hyundai Translead to launch HT LinkSense, which includes CalAmp's edge-to-cloud smart trailer solution to offer fleet managers a ground-breaking, open-platform transportation and logistics solution with real-time, granular visibility into their trailer health and cargo status.
• Announced the release of its new iOn Xtreme Temperature Tag for tracking and monitoring shipments of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, biological materials and liquid nitrogen.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Business Outlook

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, impairment losses and certain other adjustments as detailed in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliation), and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted basis net income (loss) excludes the impact of intangible asset 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, income tax provision adjustments, impairment losses 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 additional information about our financial performance and future prospects of our core business activities. 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 to help them evaluate our results of ongoing operations and enable additional 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.
