CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading
provider of wireless products, services and solutions, today
reported results for its fiscal 2012 second quarter ended August
31, 2011. Key elements include:
- Consolidated revenue of $33.8 million, up 14.6% over prior year
period; wireless datacom revenue of $25.5 million, up 41% over
prior year period
- GAAP net income of $1.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share;
Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) net income of $3.0 million, or $0.11 per
diluted share, both at the high end of the Company's guidance
range
- Net debt balance reduced by $1.6 million to $4.0 million at
August 31, 2011
Michael Burdiek, CalAmp's President and Chief Executive Officer,
commented, "Our wireless datacom business continued to experience
strong growth in the second quarter with our mobile resource
management (MRM) business posting record revenues. We have
experienced consistently strong demand for our MRM products and
services with applications in fleet management, vehicle finance,
asset tracking, stolen vehicle recovery and remote car start. In
addition, we believe we are competitively positioned for several
emerging MRM applications such as pay as you drive (PAYD)
insurance."
Mr. Burdiek added, "In wireless networks we made progress on a
number of projects in the public safety and energy sectors,
including a recent win on a smart grid project with one of our tier
one utility metering channel partners. In our Positive Train
Control rail project we achieved a key milestone in the second
quarter by completing the design phase and shipment of pilot units.
Subsequent to the second quarter we began the pre-production phase
of the project and are on track to begin shipments of radios during
the current quarter. Recent contract change orders have increased
the overall value of this project to more than $14 million and we
expect meaningful revenue from this project into the second quarter
of fiscal 2013."
Mr. Burdiek continued, "Our satellite business results were in
line with our expectations. During the second quarter we completed
the transition of our satellite business to a variable cost
operating model, further lowering our breakeven point for this
business. We expect this transition will enhance the operating
flexibility of our satellite business and we expect positive
operating income from our satellite business for the second half of
this fiscal year."
As previously announced, last month the Company renewed and
enhanced its credit facility with Square 1 Bank to reduce its
borrowing cost and provide greater financial flexibility to
capitalize on market growth opportunities. Concurrently, the
Company retired its $5 million 12% subordinated notes that were
scheduled to mature next year. As a result of these actions, the
Company expects to reduce its annual cash interest expense by
approximately $0.5 million.
Fiscal 2012 Second Quarter Results Total
revenue for the fiscal 2012 second quarter was $33.8 million
compared with $29.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
The year-over-year increase in consolidated revenue was primarily
due to higher sales in the Company's wireless datacom business
segment. Wireless datacom revenue increased 41% to $25.5 million
from $18.1 million in the same period last year, while satellite
revenue declined to $8.3 million from $11.4 million in the same
period last year. Wireless datacom revenue in the latest quarter
includes $3.0 million generated by the sale of two patents.
Consolidated gross profit for the fiscal 2011 second quarter was
$11.8 million or 35.0% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $7.4
million or 25.0% of revenue for the same period last year. The
increases in gross profit and gross margin percentage in the latest
quarter compared to fiscal 2011 second quarter were due in large
part to the increase in wireless datacom revenue including the $3.0
million patent sale, for which there was no associated cost of
revenue.
Results of operations for the fiscal 2012 second quarter as
determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") was net income of $1.4 million, or $0.05 per
diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.9 million or $0.03 per
diluted share, in the second quarter of last year. In the fiscal
2012 second quarter, in connection with the closing of its French
subsidiary, the Company recorded non-recurring charges of $1.2
million including a non-cash foreign currency translation loss of
$0.8 million. The Company also recorded non-recurring costs and
expenses of approximately $0.35 million related to the transition
of its satellite business. In addition, the Company incurred a
non-cash charge of approximately $0.5 million upon prepaying its
$5.0 million 12.0% subordinated notes for the accelerated write-off
of debt issue costs and discount that would otherwise have been
recognized as interest expense in subsequent quarters.
The Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) net income for the fiscal 2012
second quarter was $3.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share,
compared to an Adjusted Basis net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.01
loss per diluted share, for the same period last year. The Adjusted
Basis net income excludes the impact of amortization of intangible
assets, stock-based compensation expense and the non-recurring
foreign currency translation loss of $0.8 million associated with
the shut-down of the Company's French subsidiary, and includes an
income tax provision or benefit that reflects income taxes
paid/payable (or received/receivable) based on the non-GAAP pretax
income (loss) for the period. 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 At August 31, 2011, the Company
had total cash of $4.3 million and total debt of $8.3 million
consisting of $5.3 million drawn under the bank revolver and $3.0
million outstanding under a bank term loan. Net cash provided by
operating activities was $3.1 million during the fiscal 2012 second
quarter, and the unused borrowing capacity on the bank revolver was
$3.7 million at quarter-end.
Business Outlook Commenting on the
Company's business outlook, Mr. Burdiek said, "Based on our most
recent projections, we expect fiscal 2012 third quarter
consolidated revenues in the range of $30 to $34 million, with
wireless datacom revenues, net of the second quarter patents sale,
to be up and satellite revenues to be flat. We anticipate third
quarter GAAP Basis net income per share in the range of $0.02 to
$0.06 per diluted share. The Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) net income
for the fiscal 2012 third quarter is expected to be in the range of
$0.05 to $0.09 per diluted share."
Mr. Burdiek concluded, "Though there are macroeconomic
uncertainties in the overall business environment, based on our
current backlog and robust pipeline of opportunities, we expect
continued profitable growth in our core wireless datacom business
over the coming quarters. Likewise, prospects for our satellite
business are improving and we expect it to achieve operating
profitability in the second half of the year. On a consolidated
basis, we expect higher net income in the second half of this year
than the amount generated in the first half."
