IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a connected intelligence company that helps organizations monitor, track and protect their vital assets, today reported financial results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2024 ended November 30, 2023.

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Overview   

  • Revenue was $53.6 million, representing a 13% decline QoQ and a 32% decline YoY driven primarily by softer demand in the TSP market segment.
  • Gross margin was 33%, representing a decline of approximately 340 bps QoQ and 100 bps decline YoY as a result of a shift in product mix and a higher-than-normal reserve for excess and obsolete inventory.
  • S&SS revenue was $34.5 million, representing a 15% decline QoQ and a 30% decline YoY. 
  • Telematics Products revenue was $19.2 million, representing a 10% decline QoQ and a 35% decline YoY. 
  • Recurring Application Subscription revenues were $17.8 million in the quarter, representing a 5% decline QoQ as well as YoY.  
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $1.0 million, representing a $4.8 million decline QoQ and a $3.7 million decline YoY.  
  • GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $85 million, or a loss of $2.27 per share.  This includes the impact of a $74 million goodwill impairment charge. 
  • Ended the quarter with $38.2 million in cash and cash equivalents down $400K QoQ. 

“In the third quarter, strength in our industrial and connected car segments was offset by soft demand in our TSP segment.  Soft demand with TSPs led to lower than expected consolidated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.  We continue to work closely with our TSP customers as they rebalance inventory levels and respond to an overall competitive environment.  We are optimistic that our rejuvenated efforts in this segment will result in a return to revenue growth from current levels” said Interim CEO, Jason Cohenour. “During the quarter, we also implemented initiatives to narrow our strategic focus and to reduce cash expenses by approximately $16 million on an annualized basis.  Our sharpened focus on core segments, combined with a more efficient cost structure, adds considerable leverage to our operating model as we strive for a return to profitable growth.” 

Business and Recent Highlights  

  • Announced on January 8, 2024, the appointment of veteran technology leader Chris Adams as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective January 22, 2024.
  • Announced on December 18, 2023, the closing of a $45 million term loan with Lynrock Lake Master Fund LP to provide the company with additional financial capacity in support of its business transformation. 
  • CalAmp’s international connected car solution was granted Toyota “Genuine” status, enabling port installation, and streamlining the sales and customer delivery process.
  • Released the new Vision 2.1 solution, enabling telematics functionality through the standalone dash cam. 
  • Completed the technical migration of devices from legacy PULS device management platform to DMCTC.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Business Outlook

We expect Q4 FY24 revenues to be down slightly on a sequential basis and adjusted EBITDA to be stable.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance financial measures to corresponding GAAP guidance financial measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and potential variability of expenses, such as stock-based compensation expense-related charges, that may be incurred in the future and cannot be reasonably determined or predicted at this time. It is important to note that these factors could be material to our results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“GAAP” refers to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This announcement includes non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G promulgated by the SEC. We believe that our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

In this announcement, we report the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before investment income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration expenses, non-cash costs and expenses arising from purchase accounting adjustments, litigation and legal expenses, impairment losses and certain other adjustments as detailed in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliation), and Adjusted EBITDA margin. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with additional information about our financial performance and future prospects of our core business activities. Internally, these non-GAAP measures are significant measures used by management for purposes of evaluating our core operating performance, establishing internal budgets, calculating return on investment for development programs and growth initiatives, comparing performance with internal forecasts and targeted business models, strategic planning, evaluating and valuing potential acquisition candidates and how their operations compare to our operations, and benchmarking performance externally against our competitors. We believe this non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into our ongoing performance and have therefore chosen to provide this information to investors to help them evaluate our results of ongoing operations and enable additional period-to-period comparisons. The presentation of these and other similar items in our non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual.

(Unaudited)

GAAP refers to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This announcement includes non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We believe that our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to investors. The presentation of 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 announcement, we report the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before investment income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and other adjustments as identified below), and Adjusted EBITDA margin. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with an overall understanding of the financial performance and future prospects of our core business activities. Specifically, we believe that the use of these non-GAAP measures facilitates the comparison of results of core business operations between current and past periods.

The reconciliation of GAAP-basis net loss to Adjusted EBITDA and the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA margin are as follows (dollars in thousands):
