ORBCOMM ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

- Service Revenues, excluding AIS, Increased 19.7% -
- Approximately 14,000 Net Additions, Total Subscribers Grew 12.1% Over Last Year-

Fort Lee, NJ, May 10, 2011 — ORBCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq: ORBC), a global satellite data communications company focusing on two-way Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

The following financial highlights are in thousands of dollars, except per share.

		Three months ended
		March 31,
		2011				2010
Total Revenues		$	7,883			$	7,417
Service Revenues		$	7,397			$	6,882
Product Sales		$	486			$	535
Operating Income (Loss)		$	(722	)		$	(368	)
Net Income (Loss) attributable to ORBCOMM Inc.		$	(731	)		$	(735	)
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share		$	(0.02	)		$	(0.02	)
EBITDA (1) (3)		$	531			$	673
Adjusted EBITDA (2) (3)		$	799			$	1,250

Total Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were $7.9 million, an increase of 6.3% from the first quarter of 2010. Service Revenues for the first quarter of 2011 increased 7.5% to $7.4 million from the comparable period of 2010. As previously reported, ORBCOMM’s AIS service has been interrupted and we are expecting to restore commercial service with the launch of multiple new satellites this year. The impact of the interruption in the first quarter versus the prior year amounts to $0.7 million less revenue in the current period. As a result, Service Revenues, excluding AIS revenues, increased 19.7% versus the first quarter of 2010. Product Sales declined 9.2% in the first quarter to $486,000 from $535,000 in the first quarter of 2010.

Costs and Expenses in the first quarter of 2011 were $8.6 million, representing a 10.5% increase compared to the same period in the prior year. The higher costs are largely associated with Acquisition-related costs of $257,000 and severance costs of $137,000 in the first quarter of 2011 and reversal of bad debt reserve of $220,000 in the first quarter of 2010. Excluding the impact of these items, Costs and Expenses increased 2.6%, or $0.2 million.

Operating loss for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $722,000 compared to a loss of $368,000 in the first quarter of 2010.

Net Loss attributable to ORBCOMM for the first quarter of 2011 was flat compared to the Net Loss attributable to ORBCOMM for the first quarter of 2010 at $731,000 versus $735,000, respectively. Net Loss per share in both the current and prior year periods was $0.02 per share. The Company achieved positive EBITDA for the first quarter of 2011 of $531,000. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $799,000 versus $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2010.

At March 31, 2011, there were approximately 589,000 billable subscriber communicators, a 12.1% increase over the first quarter of 2010. Net subscriber additions during the quarter were just under 14,000, comprised of nearly 11,000 satellite additions and over 3,000 terrestrial additions.

“Increased data usage and improved satellite throughput from our constellation over the past year coupled with continued double-digit growth in subscriber additions has driven growth in Service Revenues of almost 20% over the prior year, excluding AIS revenue,” said Marc Eisenberg, ORBCOMM’s Chief Executive Officer. “Additionally, ORBCOMM anticipates closing the StarTrak acquisition shortly, which we expect to have a positive impact on 2011 revenue and accretive to cash in 2012.”

“We are pleased with the continued growth in Service and Total Revenues that are outpacing the decline in revenue from the AIS business in the first quarter of 2011 versus the prior year quarter,” said Robert Costantini, ORBCOMM’s Chief Financial Officer. “ORBCOMM was able to generate $799,000 in Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter. We remain focused on controlling costs and growing our top line.”

Business Highlights

Selected recent business highlights include:

•

ORBCOMM added a major global diversified manufacturer of cranes and lifts. We signed an extension renewal with one of our largest current transportation VARs and a teaming agreement with Vodafone.

•

ORBCOMM is now authorized to provide two-way satellite data communications services in Ecuador, an important geographic area for many of our customers. ORBCOMM continues to expand its global authorizations, which totals over 100 countries and territories. International expansion is a key component to future growth at ORBCOMM as it provides our customers, many of which already have distribution in these countries, a new outlet to provide ORBCOMM enabled services. It also creates an opportunity for new sales channels with local providers.

•

L-3 Telemetry West, a division of L-3 Communications, has delivered an upgraded, more capable satellite operations control system (SOCS) for ORBCOMM’s Network Control Center in Dulles, Virginia. The new SOCS will support the ongoing operations of ORBCOMM’s existing constellation of low-Earth orbit satellites, as well as ORBCOMM’s new enhanced-capability Generation 2 (OG2) fleet replenishment satellites that will begin launching later this year.

Financial Results and Highlights

Revenue

Total Revenues for the first quarter of 2011 were $7.9 million, an increase of 6.3% from the first quarter of 2010. Service Revenues for the first quarter were $7.4 million, an increase 7.5%, over the prior-year’s first quarter. The growth in core subscriber revenues more than offset a decline in AIS revenue versus the year ago period. Product Sales decreased in the first quarter of 2011 to $486,000 from $535,000 in the first quarter of 2010.

Billable Subscriber Communicators

As of March 31, 2011, there were almost 589,000 billable subscriber communicators, compared to over 525,000 billable subscriber communicators as of March 31, 2010, an increase of 12.1%.

Costs and Expenses

Costs and Expenses in the first quarter of 2011 were $8.6 million, representing a 10.5% increase compared to the same period in the prior year and includes Acquisition-related costs of $0.3 million for the pending acquisition of the StarTrak business. The higher costs are largely associated with Acquisition-related costs of $257,000 and severance costs of $137,000 in the first quarter of 2011 and reversal of bad debt reserve of $220,000 in the first quarter of 2010. Excluding the impact of these items, Costs and Expenses increased 2.6%.

Net Loss

Net Loss attributable to ORBCOMM remained flat at $731,000 for the first quarter of 2011 compared to a Net Loss attributable to ORBCOMM of $735,000 for the first quarter of 2010. The growth in Total Revenues was offset by higher Costs and Expenses during the quarter.

ORBCOMM’s Net Loss per Common Share was $0.02 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to Net Loss per Common Share of $0.02 for the prior year quarter.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA for the first quarter of 2011 totaled $531,000, compared to EBITDA of $673,000 in the first quarter of 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2011 totaled $799,000, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2010.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company. Please see the financial tables at the end of the release for a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Balance Sheet

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Marketable Securities as of March 31, 2011 was $85.5 million, decreasing $3.5 million from $89.0 million at December 31, 2010. The decline is attributable to $2.1 million for next generation satellite related capital expenditures and cash used from operations of $0.6 million, due to shifts in working capital during the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA		$	799			$	1,250

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. ORBCOMM believes EBITDA is useful to its management and investors in evaluating operating performance because it is one of the primary measures used to evaluate the economic productivity of the Company’s operations, including its ability to obtain and maintain its customers, its ability to operate its business effectively, the efficiency of its employees and the profitability associated with their performance. It also helps ORBCOMM’s management and investors to meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of the Company’s operations from period to period on a consistent basis by removing the impact of its financing transactions and the depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments from its operating results. In addition, ORBCOMM management uses EBITDA in presentations to its board of directors to enable it to have the same measurement of operating performance used by management and for planning purposes, including the preparation of the annual operating budget. The Company also believes that EBITDA, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and noncontrolling interests (Adjusted EBITDA), is useful to investors to evaluate the Company’s core operating results and financial performance and its capacity to fund capital expenditures, because it excludes items that are significant non-cash expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not performance measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. While ORBCOMM considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important measures of operating performance, they should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, Net Loss or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different than EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation table is presented above.
