CalAmp Reports Fiscal 2015 First Quarter Results
OXNARD, CA, July 1, 2014 -- CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless products, services and solutions, today reported results for its first quarter ended May 31, 2014. Highlights for the quarter include:
- Consolidated first quarter revenue of $59.0 million, up 10% compared to the first quarter last year, with Wireless Datacom revenue up 17% over prior year first quarter to $47.8 million and Satellite revenue down 14% to $11.1 million.
- First quarter GAAP net income of $2.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to $1.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share for the first quarter last year.
- Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) net income of $6.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $5.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the same period last year.
- Net cash provided by operations for the first quarter of $7.3 million, and total cash and short term marketable securities balance at May 31, 2014 of $34.2 million.
Commenting on the first quarter fiscal 2015 results, Michael Burdiek, CalAmp's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Overall, I am pleased with the solid first quarter performance across our enterprise. Demand for our Mobile Resource Management (MRM) products drove a 17% year-over-year increase in Wireless Datacom segment first quarter revenues, which in turn contributed to a 23%, growth in non-GAAP earnings. I am particularly encouraged by continued growth in auto insurance telematics revenue and a return to growth in fleet management in the first quarter. These factors more than offset a temporary decline in energy revenues and continued weakness in Latin America. In our Satellite segment, shipments made late in the quarter coupled with some demand for a high margin legacy product resulted in meaningful contributions from this segment to our operating cash flow and bottom-line profitability.”
Fiscal 2015 First Quarter Results
Total revenue for the fiscal 2015 first
quarter was $59.0 million compared to $53.7 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 2014, an increase of 10%. Wireless Datacom revenue increased to $47.8
million from $40.9 million in the same period last year, and Satellite revenue
was $11.1 million compared to $12.9 million in the first quarter last year.
Consolidated gross profit for the fiscal 2015 first quarter was $20.2 million, an increase of $1.7 million over the same quarter last year, primarily attributable to higher revenue. The consolidated gross margin was essentially unchanged at 34.3% in the fiscal 2015 first quarter, compared to 34.4% in the first quarter last year.

GAAP net income for the fiscal 2015 first quarter was $2.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the first quarter of last year. While the Company’s GAAP-basis effective tax rate approximates the combined US federal and state statutory tax rate, the Company’s pretax income is still largely sheltered from taxation by NOL and research and development tax credit carryforwards, and is expected to remain so for the next several years.
Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal 2015 first quarter was $6.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP earnings of $5.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP net income excludes the impact of intangibles amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and acquisition-related expenses, and includes an income tax provision for cash taxes paid or payable for the period. A reconciliation of the GAAP-basis pretax income to the non-GAAP net income and earnings per diluted share is provided in the table at the end of this press release.
Liquidity
As of May 31,
2014, the Company had total cash and marketable securities of $34.2 million and
no bank debt outstanding. Net cash provided by operating activities during the
first quarter was $7.3 million, and the unused borrowing capacity on the bank
revolver as of the end of the first quarter was $15 million.
Business Outlook
Commenting on the Company's business
outlook, Mr. Burdiek said, “In the fiscal 2015 second quarter, we expect
consolidated revenue in the range of $57 to $61 million. We anticipate Wireless
Datacom revenue in the second quarter will be higher on both a sequential
quarter and year-over-year basis due primarily to the resumption of shipments to
our key OEM customer in the solar power industry and healthy customer demand for
our products and services within most of our core verticals, offset by a sharp
decline in Positive Train Control (PTC) revenues and only modest contribution
from MRM product sales in Latin America. Satellite revenue in the second quarter
is expected to be down on a sequential quarter basis to the lower end of its
normal quarterly operating range. At the bottom line, we expect second quarter
GAAP-basis net income in the range of $0.05 to $0.09 per diluted share and
non-GAAP net income in the range of $0.17 to $0.21 per diluted
share.”
Mr. Burdiek continued, “For the full year in fiscal 2015, we expect consolidated revenues to gain momentum as the year progresses. As a result, we anticipate the second half of fiscal 2015 will be significantly stronger than the first half of the year, with Wireless Datacom revenue growth expected to accelerate as we move through the last two quarters of the year driven by the emerging auto insurance telematics and heavy equipment markets. However, this momentum is expected to be partially offset by the full year outlook for our Satellite business, which is now anticipated to be below earlier projections.”
