“This quarter, ORBCOMM successfully executed on its growth strategy, which led to strong results this quarter,” said Marc Eisenberg, Chief Executive Officer of ORBCOMM. “Our AIS service got a major endorsement by EMSA to be the sole provider of AIS because our product provides the best service and value on the market. We also added two heavy equipment customers in recent months, extending our position as the leading provider of connectivity to the heavy equipment category. Additionally, both our direct channel and traditional M2M services recorded impressive net subscriber additions for the quarter.”

“We are pleased with ORBCOMM’s substantial revenue growth and continued profitability due to healthy business fundamentals in core network services, direct channel sales and AIS,” said Robert Costantini, Chief Financial Officer of ORBCOMM. “Quarterly Service Revenues grew 38% over prior year, and 8% sequentially, increasing almost $900,000 over the first quarter of 2012. Profit growth continues to be strong, illustrating the solid performance of our business model and its high operating leverage.”

Financial Results and Highlights

Revenues

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2012, Service Revenues were $12.4 million compared to $9.0 million during the same period last year. The year-over-year increase of 38% was the result of an increase of units in service, increases in satellite ARPU, contributions from StarTrak and LMS which were acquired during the past 18 months, and ORBCOMM’s AIS business that contributed $0.5 million to Service Revenues in the second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, Service Revenues were $23.9 million compared to $16.4 million during the same period last year, increasing 46%.

Product Sales during the second quarter of 2012 increased 113% to $3.9 million from $1.8 million during the second quarter last year. The increase in Product Sales was the result of higher sales at StarTrak, including a full quarter contribution from StarTrak in the second quarter of 2012, the inclusion of LMS which was acquired in January 2012, and increased sales at ORBCOMM’s Japanese subsidiary. Product Sales during the first half of 2012 increased 256% to $8.2 million from $2.3 million during the first half last year.

Total Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were $16.3 million compared $10.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 51%. Total Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $32.2 million compared $18.7 million during the same period of 2011, an increase of 72%.

Costs and Expenses

Costs and Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $28.1 million compared to $19.5 million during the same period in 2011. The increases were mostly due to costs associated with growth in the business, higher product sales, and costs and expenses related to the operations of the StarTrak and LMS that were not present in the prior year period, offset by a reduction in Acquisition-related costs.

Costs of Product Sales for the second quarter of 2012 were $2.6 million compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 88% due to higher Product Sales.

Costs of Service, Product Development, and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses were $11.2 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $8.7 million in the prior year second quarter, an increase of $2.5 million primarily related to increased business activity and the addition of operating expenses for the acquisitions. ORBCOMM’s gross margin on services expanded to 60% for the second quarter compared to 58% in the second quarter last year.

Acquisition-related Costs were $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 and were mostly due to the acquisition of the assets of LMS which closed in January 2012.

The following table reconciles our Net Income (Loss) attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods shown:

EBITDA is defined as earnings attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. 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, Loss on disposition of other investment in Alanco, and Noncontrolling interests 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 Income (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.
