CalAmp Reports Fiscal 2013 Fourth Quarter and Full Year ResultsOXNARD, CA, Apr 25, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless products, services and solutions, today reported results for its fourth quarter and full year ended February 28, 2013. Highlights for the quarter and fiscal year include: -- Consolidated fourth quarter revenue of $48.4 million, up 29% year-over-year, with Wireless Datacom revenue up 45%; GAAP-basis net income of $32.6 million, or $1.06 per diluted share including a non-recurring fourth quarter income tax benefit of $29.2 million; Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) net income of $4.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. -- Consolidated fiscal year revenue of $180.6 million, up 30% year-over-year with Wireless Datacom revenue up 41%; GAAP-basis net income of $44.6 million or $1.49 per diluted share including the $29.2 million tax benefit; Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) net income of $20.4 million, or $0.68 per diluted share. -- Net cash from operations for fiscal 2013 of $16.6 million. -- Wireless Matrix acquired in March 2013 for a cash payment of approximately $47 million net of cash acquired. Commenting on the full year results, Michael Burdiek, CalAmp's President and Chief Executive Officer said, "Fiscal 2013 was a transformative year for CalAmp highlighted by consolidated revenue growth of 30%, significantly improved profitability and a key acquisition consummated just after year-end that accelerates our strategic roadmap. At the top line, our performance was driven by a 41% year-over-year revenue increase in our Wireless Datacom segment, due to continued strong demand for our Mobile Resource Management (MRM) products and growing contributions from our energy, rail and public safety verticals. The strong revenue growth and improving gross margins resulted in accelerating profitability in fiscal 2013, with non-GAAP earnings per share doubling compared to last year." Mr. Burdiek added, "We continue to see a healthy order pipeline to support our growth objectives that should deepen our presence in existing markets and provide opportunities to expand into promising new vertical applications. And in a strategic step to expand our addressable market and move further up the MRM value chain, in early March we acquired and are rapidly integrating the operations of Wireless Matrix. This acquisition helps position CalAmp as a leading provider of integrated hardware and software solutions within our core verticals, expands our recurring revenue stream and enhances our future growth prospects." Commenting on the fourth quarter performance, Mr. Burdiek stated, "Our strong fourth quarter financial results were due to a 45% year-over-year revenue increase in our Wireless Datacom segment. This record-setting revenue was the result of continued strong customer demand for our MRM products and services, significant contributions from our customers in energy markets and improving demand for our public safety solutions. We also saw strong growth in international sales during the quarter across most of our core verticals. In the Satellite segment, we continue to be pleased with the performance and contribution of this business to our bottom-line results." Fiscal 2013 Fourth Quarter Results Total revenue for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter was $48.4 million compared to $37.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase of 29%. Wireless Datacom revenue increased to $37.3 million from $25.7 million in the same period last year, and Satellite revenue was $11.1 million compared to $12.0 million in the fourth quarter last year. Consolidated gross profit for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter was $15.1 million, an increase of $4.5 million over the same quarter last year that was primarily driven by higher revenue. The consolidated gross margin percentage was 31.1% in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter, up from 28.2% in the fourth quarter last year. The increase in the consolidated gross margin percentage reflects the higher proportion of total revenues represented by the Wireless Datacom segment in fiscal 2013 versus the prior year. GAAP-basis net income for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter was $32.6 million, or $1.06 per diluted share. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $29.2 million as a result of eliminating the deferred tax asset valuation allowance associated with net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards that are expected to be utilized in future years. Excluding this income tax benefit, net income in the fourth quarter would have been $3.4 million or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of last year. Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter was $4.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $2.6 million or $0.09 per diluted share for the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP earnings excludes the impact of intangibles amortization, stock-based compensation and acquisition-related expenses, and includes an income tax provision that reflects the income taxes paid or payable based on the non-GAAP pretax income 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 At the end of fiscal 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $63.1 million, which included net proceeds of $44.8 million from a public stock offering in the fourth quarter, and total bank debt of $1.8 million. Shortly after the end of the fiscal 2013, CalAmp completed the previously announced acquisition of Wireless Matrix for a cash payment of approximately $47 million net of cash acquired, and also entered into a new bank term loan for $5 million. Giving pro forma effect to these two transactions as if they had both occurred at the end of fiscal 2013, the year-end balances of cash and bank debt would have been $19.6 million and $5 million, respectively. The pro forma net cash balance (cash less bank debt) of $14.6 million at the end of fiscal 2013 represents an increase of $12.0 million over the net cash balance at the end of fiscal 2012. Cash provided by operating activities was $5.8 million in the fourth quarter and $16.6 million for fiscal 2013 as a whole. After giving pro forma effect to the aforementioned new $5 million bank term loan, the unused borrowing capacity on the Company's bank revolver at the end of fiscal 2013 was $10 million. Business Outlook Commenting on the Company's business outlook, Mr. Burdiek said, "We enter fiscal 2014 with continued strong customer demand across most of our key market verticals. In addition, the Wireless Matrix acquisition is expected to accelerate our growth prospects, improve our competitive position and increase our subscription and SaaS-based revenues. We expect the second half of fiscal 2014 to be much stronger than the first half, as some of the recently announced opportunities begin ramping and operating expenses revert to a more normalized level as a result of synergies and expense reductions associated with the Wireless Matrix integration." Mr. Burdiek continued, "We expect first quarter consolidated revenue in the range of $50 to $54 million. We anticipate Wireless Datacom revenue in the first quarter will be significantly higher on both a year-over-year and a sequential quarter basis. The revenue contribution from Wireless Matrix business is expected to more than fully offset a projected lull in shipments of Positive Train Control radios in the first quarter. Satellite revenue in the first quarter is expected to be up on a sequential quarter basis and relatively flat on a year-over-year basis." Mr. Burdiek concluded, "At the bottom line, we expect first quarter GAAP-basis net income in the range of $0.01 to $0.05 per diluted share and non-GAAP net income in the range of $0.11 to $0.15 per diluted share. We also expect that our first quarter GAAP-basis operating results will be impacted by transaction and integration expenses of approximately $0.6 million arising from the Wireless Matrix acquisition."
