CalAmp Reports Fiscal 2013 Second Quarter Results

OXNARD, CA, September 25, 2012 -- CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless products, services and solutions, today reported results for its second quarter ended August 31, 2012. Highlights for the quarter include:

  • Consolidated second quarter revenue of $44.0 million, up 30% compared to the second quarter last year; Wireless Datacom revenue up 34% year-over-year to an all-time high of $34.2 million.
  • Second quarter GAAP net income of $3.7 million or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in second quarter of last year.
  • Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) net income of $4.9 million or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $3.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the same period last year.
  • Net cash provided by operations of $4.0 million in the second quarter, and total cash at quarter-end of $10.2 million.

Commenting on the second quarter results, Michael Burdiek, CalAmp's President and Chief Executive Officer said, “We continue to experience operating momentum with strong performance once again driven by the Wireless Datacom segment, where revenue grew 34% year-over-year to $34.2 million. This record-setting revenue was due to continued strong customer demand for our Mobile Resource Management (MRM) products and services, significant contributions from our Rail initiative and improving fundamentals in public safety. In addition, we continue to be pleased with the performance of our Satellite segment and its contribution to the bottom-line.”

Mr. Burdiek continued, “Our backlog exiting the second quarter remains robust and we have a healthy pipeline of new opportunities supporting a good tailwind as we enter the second half of fiscal 2013.”

Fiscal 2013 Second Quarter Results
Total revenue for the fiscal 2013 second quarter was $44.0 million compared to $33.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase of 30%. Wireless Datacom revenue increased 34% to $34.2 million from $25.5 million in the same period last year, and Satellite revenue was $9.8 million compared to $8.3 million in the second quarter last year.

Consolidated gross profit for the fiscal 2013 second quarter was $14.1 million, an increase of $2.3 million over the same quarter last year primarily as a result of higher revenue. The gross margin percentage was 32.1% in the fiscal 2013 second quarter versus 35.0% in the second quarter last year, which included a $3 million patent sale for which there was no associated cost of revenue. Excluding the effects of last year’s patent sale, the consolidated gross margin in the latest quarter was up 3.4 percentage points year-over-year due primarily to substantial improvement in Satellite margins.

GAAP net income for the fiscal 2013 second quarter was $3.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of last year.

Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal 2013 second quarter was $4.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $3.0 million or $0.11 per diluted share for the same quarter last year. A reconciliation of the GAAP basis pretax income to the non-GAAP net income is provided in the table at the end of this press release.

Liquidity
As of August 31, 2012, the Company had cash and equivalents of $10.2 million and total debt of $5.7 million, including the $3.2 million carrying amount of a note payable issued in May 2012 in connection with the Navman Wireless asset purchase and supply agreement. Net cash (reflecting total cash less bank debt) at August 31, 2012 was $7.7 million, versus a net debt position of $4.0 million one year ago. Cash provided by operating activities during the second quarter was $4.0 million, and the unused borrowing capacity on the bank revolver at the end of the second quarter was $9.5 million.

Business Outlook
Commenting on the Company's business outlook, Mr. Burdiek said, "Based on our latest projections, we expect fiscal 2013 third quarter consolidated revenue in the range of $41 to $45 million. We anticipate Wireless Datacom revenue in the third quarter will be significantly higher year-over-year and up slightly on a sequential quarter basis. Satellite revenue in the third quarter is expected to be up year-over-year but lower on a sequential quarter basis due to normal demand fluctuations. At the bottom line, we expect third quarter GAAP basis net income in the range of $0.10 to $0.14 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income in the range of $0.14 to $0.18 per diluted share. Looking further ahead into our fourth quarter, we expect continued strength within our Wireless segment and a strong rebound in Satellite revenues from the third quarter, with consolidated fourth quarter revenues projected to be in the range of $43 to $49 million.

Mr. Burdiek concluded, “We are experiencing strong demand as we drive expansion within our key verticals. Looking ahead to the second half of fiscal 2013 and beyond, we believe we have established a solid foundation for further revenue and earnings growth.”

"GAAP" refers to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. 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 and Adjusted Basis Net Income 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 and Adjusted Basis Net Income 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 to Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) Net Income is as follows (in thousands except per share amounts):
