CalAmp Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results

IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 21, 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 third quarter of fiscal year 2022 ended November 30, 2021.

"As indicated in the business update announcement last month, the ongoing global component shortages have been more pronounced than expected, causing a significant reduction in our shipments during the quarter," said Jeff Gardner, CalAmp's president and CEO. "We are working closely with our suppliers to source the needed parts, qualify additional components and even redesign certain devices when possible. Despite this challenging situation, we are encouraged with the strong customer demand as evidenced by the consistent high level of customer backlog over the past few quarters as we continue our transformation to a SaaS enterprise."

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Overview

• Total revenue decreased 12% from the prior year quarter to $69 million.
• Software and Subscription Services (S&SS) revenue was $37 million, which was up 7% from the prior year quarter and represented 53% of consolidated revenue.
• Telematics Products revenue was down 14% sequentially to $32 million as supply chain shortages affected shipments despite continuing strong customer demand.
• Sales to our largest customer were $14 million, up 3% sequentially.
• Gross margin was 41% compared to 40% in the prior year quarter.
• GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $11 million, or a loss of $0.30 per share. 
• Adjusted basis non-GAAP net loss was $3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $3 million, or 4% of revenue compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $9 million, or 11% of revenue in the prior year quarter.
• Total core S&SS subscribers were 1 million, a 3% increase from the prior quarter, excluding the Automotive Vehicle Finance business.
• Ended the quarter with $91 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Other Business and Recent Highlights

• Announced that our subsidiary, LoJack® España, has partnered with Bipi, an innovative car subscription services company operating in Spain, Italy and France, to equip its multi-brand car fleet with LoJack España's connected car solutions to improve Bipi's customers' experiences while also allowing it to manage fleet operations more effectively.

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.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES TO GAAP
(Unaudited)

GAAP refers to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This announcement includes historical non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  We believe that our presentation of historical non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to investors.  The presentation of historical non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for results 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 and other adjustments as identified below), and Adjusted EBITDA margin. 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. Specifically, we believe that the use of these non-GAAP measures facilitates the comparison of results of core business operations between current and past periods.  

The reconciliation of GAAP basis net loss to Adjusted basis (non-GAAP) net income (loss) is as follows (in thousands except per share amounts):

(a)	The non-GAAP income tax provision represents cash taxes paid or payable for the period after giving effect to the utilization of net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards.
(b)	Costs incurred in transition of business to acquiror are attributable to the wind-down and transfer of the LoJack North America business to Spireon.
(c)	Other favorable (unfavorable) impacts to Adjusted basis net income and Adjusted EBITDA represent financial impacts that cannot be included in these Non-GAAP measures, but management believes can provide insights into underlying operational earnings for the periods presented above. These items include deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustments resulting from business acquisitions which reduces revenue and gross profit, resolution of a product performance matter with a customer, and inventories related to the automotive vehicle finance business that are obsolete or in excess of demand forecast.
