Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
|
On March 15, 2012, ORBCOMM Inc. (the Company) released its earnings for the third fiscal quarter of 2011 and is furnishing a copy of the earnings release to the Securities and Exchange
Commission under Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The press release is attached herewith as Exhibit 99 and is incorporated herein by reference. In addition, the Company will discuss its financial results during a webcast and
teleconference call Thursday, March 15, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. (ET). To access the webcast and teleconference call, go to the Companys website at www.orbcomm.com.
The information contained in Exhibit 99 shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or
incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
EBITDA is defined as earnings attributable to the Company before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. The Company believes EBITDA is useful to its
management and investors in evaluating operating performance because it is one of the primary measures used by the Company to evaluate the economic productivity of its 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 the Companys management and investors to meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of
its 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, the Companys
management uses EBITDA in presentations to the Companys 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 Companys annual
operating budget. The Company also believes that EBITDA, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, noncontrolling interests, impairment charges and loss on disposition of other investment in Alanco (Adjusted EBITDA), is useful to investors
to evaluate the Companys 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 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 the Company 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.
