CalAmp Reports Fiscal 2012 First Quarter Results
 
OXNARD, Calif., June 30, 2011--CalAmp Corp. (Nasdaq: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless products, services and solutions, today reported results for its fiscal first quarter ended May 31, 2011. Key elements include:
  • Consolidated first quarter revenues up 31% year-over-year to $34.6 million; wireless datacom revenues up 39% year-over-year to $22.0 million.
  • Consolidated first quarter gross margin percentage of 27.3%, up from 23.2% in the first quarter of prior year; wireless datacom first quarter gross margin percentage of 39.0%, up from 33.7% in first quarter of prior year.
  • First quarter GAAP net income of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share; Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) net income of $1.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.
  • First quarter net cash provided by operations of $2.3 million.
  • Net debt balance reduced by $2.1 million during first quarter to $5.6 million.
Commenting on the fiscal 2012 first quarter results, Michael Burdiek, CalAmp’s President and Chief Executive Officer said, “We’re off to a strong start in fiscal 2012. Consolidated revenues in the latest quarter increased 31% compared to the first quarter of last year, and our bottom line improved by $3 million. Both our wireless datacom and satellite businesses contributed to the year-over-year revenue growth. We continue to see strong demand for our mobile resource management (MRM) products and services from the local fleet management, vehicle finance, asset tracking and stolen vehicle recovery markets. We also experienced a solid quarter with our wireless networks products with significant contribution from an important project in the railroad sector. An uptick in our satellite business helped revenues of that unit more than double on a sequential quarter basis and increase 19% year-over-year. We are on track with our previously announced plans to transition the satellite business to a more variable cost model and expect these changes to be fully implemented by the end of our second quarter.”
 
Mr. Burdiek continued, “With our improving financial performance, we continue to strengthen our liquidity position and balance sheet. First quarter net cash provided by operations of $2.3 million helped reduce our net debt balance by $2.1 million to $5.6 million at the end of the quarter. These improvements provide us with added financial flexibility and should further enable our growth objectives going forward.”
 
Fiscal 2012 First Quarter Results
Total revenue for the fiscal 2012 first quarter was $34.6 million compared to $26.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 due to higher revenues in the Company’s wireless datacom and satellite segments. Wireless datacom revenue increased 39% to $22.0 million from $15.8 million in the same period last year, while satellite revenue increased 19% to $12.5 million from $10.5 million in the same period last year.

Consolidated gross profit for the fiscal 2012 first quarter was $9.4 million, or a 27.3% gross margin, compared to gross profit of $6.1 million, or a 23.2% gross margin, for the same period last year. The increases in gross profit and gross margin percentage in the latest quarter compared to the fiscal 2011 first quarter were due primarily to higher wireless datacom revenues.
 
Results of operations for the fiscal 2012 first quarter as determined in accordance with GAAP was net income of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the first quarter of last year.
 
The Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) net income for the fiscal 2012 first quarter was $1.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted Basis net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.06 loss per diluted share, for the same period last year. The Adjusted Basis net income (loss) excludes intangible asset amortization and stock-based compensation expense, and includes an income tax provision or benefit that reflects income taxes paid/payable (or received/receivable) based on the results of operations for the quarter. A reconciliation of the GAAP basis pretax income (loss) to the Adjusted Basis net income (loss) is provided in the table at the end of this press release.
 
Liquidity
As of May 31, 2011, the Company had total cash of $4.3 million and total debt of $9.9 million. Total debt at that date consisted of $5.4 million drawn under the Company’s revolving bank credit facility and subordinated debt of $4.5 million. The unused borrowing capacity on the bank revolver was $6.6 million at May 31, 2011. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three month period ended May 31, 2011 was $2.3 million.
 
Business Outlook
Commenting on the Company's business outlook, Mr. Burdiek said, “Based on our latest projections, we expect fiscal 2012 second quarter consolidated revenues in the range of $31 to $35 million, with wireless datacom revenues up sequentially and satellite revenues down from the first quarter. We expect fiscal second quarter GAAP basis net income in the range of $0.01 to $0.05 per diluted share. The Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) net income for the second quarter is expected to be in the range of $0.07 to $0.11 per diluted share. Our outlook for the second quarter includes revenue of $3 million generated from the sale of two patents and restructuring charges associated with winding up the operations of our French subsidiary.”
 
Mr. Burdiek concluded, “Our pipeline of sales opportunities is expanding as we execute our global product and marketing strategy. Based on our current forecast, we continue to expect year-over-year revenue growth in fiscal 2012 from both our wireless datacom and satellite businesses, and we continue to expect full year profitability on a GAAP basis.”

NON-GAAP EARNINGS RECONCILIATION
(Unaudited, in thousands except per share amounts)
 
Non-GAAP Earnings Reconciliation
"GAAP" refers to financial information presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States. This press release includes historical non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. CalAmp believes that its 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 press release, CalAmp reports the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Basis Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Basis Net Income (Loss) Per Diluted Share. CalAmp uses these non-GAAP financial measures to enhance the investor's overall understanding of the financial performance and future prospects of CalAmp's core business activities. Specifically, CalAmp believes that a report of Adjusted Basis Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Basis Net Income (Loss) Per Diluted Share provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates the comparison of results of core business operations between its current and past periods.
 
The reconciliation of the GAAP Basis Pretax Income (Loss) to Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) Net Income (Loss) is as follows:
 
        Three Months Ended
    May 31,
    2011       2010
GAAP basis pretax income (loss)   $      529     $      (2,477 )
                 
Amortization of intangible assets     352       306  
Stock-based compensation expense     532       523  
Pretax income (loss) (non-GAAP basis)     1,413       (1,648 )
                 
Income tax provision (non-GAAP basis) (a)     (9 )     -  
Adjusted Basis net income (loss)   $ 1,404     $ (1,648 )
                 
Adjusted Basis net income (loss) per diluted share (b)   $ 0.05     $ (0.06 )
                 
Weighted average common shares outstanding                
       on diluted basis     28,226       26,982  

(a)       In order to enhance clarity of the non-GAAP financial measure, effective with the quarter ended May 31, 2011 the Company changed its method of calculating the income tax benefit (provision) used in the Adjusted Basis net income (loss) per diluted share. This new method was applied retroactively to the comparable period of the prior year. Under this new method, the non-GAAP income tax provision now reflects the income taxes paid/payable (or received/receivable) based on the results of operations for the quarter. The Company has net operating loss carryforwards to offset the pre-tax book income for the quarter ended May 31, 2011.
 
(b)   The method previously used to compute Adjusted Basis net income (loss) per diluted share included a pro forma income tax provision or benefit computed without giving effect to increases or decreases in the deferred income tax valuation allowance that are recognized for GAAP basis financial reporting. Under this previously used method, Adjusted Basis net income (loss) per diluted share would have been $0.03 and $(0.04) for the three months ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
