As these solutions have hit the market, it's led to record quarters for revenues. We are shipping a significant amount of new product, which we expect to lead to strong Service Revenues in the second half of the year," said Marc Eisenberg, ORBCOMM's Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased to see that our work at integrating our most recent acquisitions, and building scale across the business is making an impact on our business. Large deployments such as Hub, Doosan and now the large transportation OEM, are continuing to solidify our market leadership position in the global M2M industry." "Results for the second quarter were operationally very strong with record Total Revenues, significant organic revenue growth of 20%, and good cost controls driving Adjusted EBITDA to $10.3 million at a margin of 23%," said Robert Costantini, Chief Financial Officer of ORBCOMM. "Excluding the satellite Impairment Loss and the Acquisition-Related and Integration costs, we had Net Income - Ex-Items of $1.6 million and Basic EPS - Ex-Items of $0.02 per share." Financial Results and Highlights Revenues For the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, Service Revenues were up 61% over the prior year period in 2014 to $24.0 million. The increase in Service Revenues in Q2 of 2015 was driven by both organic growth and the recent acquisitions. Product Sales during the second quarter of 2015 were $20.9 million compared to $9.4 million during the same period last year, increasing $11.5 million or 122%. The quarterly year-over-year increase in Product Sales was driven by large customer orders for our solutions, and was aided by sales from the acquired companies. Total Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 were $44.9 million compared to $24.3 million during the same period of 2014, an increase of 85%. Direct Costs and Operating Expenses Total direct costs and operating expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were $56.4 million compared to $22.5 million during the same period in 2014. Direct costs, exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization, increased year-over-year largely due to increases in both Service Revenues and Product Sales and costs to operate the companies acquired. Gross Profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $21.8 million compared to $13.1 million for the prior year quarter, increasing $8.7 million or 66% due to the increase in Service Revenues and Product Sales. Operating Expenses were higher than the prior year period primarily due to expenses from the companies acquired such as acquired employees, an Impairment Loss of $12.7 million related to an OG2 satellite that lost communication, higher Depreciation and Amortization, and higher Acquisition-Related and Integration costs of $1.1 million related to the recent acquisitions. Impairment Loss-satellite network In June 2015, the Company lost communication with one of the in-orbit OG2 satellites. While we are still trying to recover the satellite, due to the extended period without communication we are recording an impairment charge of $12.7 million to write-off the net book value of this satellite as of June 30, 2015. The loss of this one satellite is not expected to have a material adverse effect on network communications services. Prior to losing communication, this satellite experienced two short outages. Since the other OG2 satellites have not exhibited this problem, the Company believes the loss of communication is likely a workmanship or piece part issue, specific to this one satellite. Under the terms of our in-orbit insurance program, this satellite would be the first of our three satellite deductible across both OG2 launch missions. Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes, Net Income (Loss), and Earnings Per Share Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes for the second quarter of 2015 was a loss of ($12.6) million compared to income of $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2014, lower primarily due to higher costs as described above and higher Interest Expense of $1.3 million. Net Income (Loss) attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders was a loss of ($12.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to income of $1.4 million for the same three-month period in 2014. Basic Earnings Per Share were a loss of ($0.17) for the second quarter of 2015 versus $0.03 for the second quarter of 2014. Excluding Acquisition-Related and Integration costs of $1.1 million and the Satellite Impairment Loss of $12.7 million, Net Income (Loss) - Ex-Items, attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders was $1.6 million and Basic EPS - Ex-Items was $0.02 for the second quarter of 2015 compared to Net Income (Loss) - Ex-Items, attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders of $1.6 million and Basic EPS Ex-Items of $0.03 for the comparable period last year. Net Income (Loss) - Ex-Items, attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders and Basic EPS - Ex-Items are non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company. Please see the financial tables at the end of the release for a reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) - Ex-Items, attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders and Basic EPS - Ex-Items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 was a loss of $4.7 million compared to a gain of $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 and includes a $12.7 million Impairment Loss and $1.1 million in Acquisition-Related and Integration costs. Adjusted EBITDA was $10.3 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 102%.

The following table reconciles our Net Income attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods shown:
EBITDA is defined as earnings attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. before interest income (expense), loss on debt extinguishment, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. ORBCOMM believes EBITDA is useful to its management and investors in evaluating operating performance because it is one of the primary measures used to evaluate the economic productivity of the Company's 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 ORBCOMM's management and investors to meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of the Company's 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, ORBCOMM management uses EBITDA in presentations to its 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 annual operating budget. The Company also believes that EBITDA, adjusted for Stock-based compensation expense, noncontrolling interests, impairment loss, non-capitalized satellite launch and in-orbit insurance, insurance recovery, and acquisition-related and integration costs is useful to investors to evaluate the Company's core operating results and financial performance and its capacity to fund capital expenditures, because it excludes items that are significant non-cash or non-recurring expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Adjusted EBITDA Margin equals Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total Revenues. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not performance measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. While ORBCOMM considers EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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 or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different than EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation table is presented above. The following table reconciles our Net Income (Loss) attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders to Net Income (Loss) - Ex-Items, attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders and Basic EPS to Basic EPS - Ex-Items for the periods shown:
Net Income (Loss) - Ex-Items attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders is defined as Net Income (Loss) attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders, excluding Impairment Loss-satellite network, and Acquisition-related and integration costs. Basic EPS - Ex-Items is defined as Basic EPS excluding Impairment Loss-satellite network, and Acquisition-related and integration costs. Net Income (Loss) - Ex-Items attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders and Basic EPS - Ex-Items are non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company. These non-GAAP financial measures are used as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. These non-GAAP measures are presented in this press release as management believes that they will provide investors with a means of evaluating, and an understanding of how management evaluates, the Company's performance and results on a comparable basis that is not otherwise apparent on a GAAP basis, since many non-recurring, infrequent or non-cash items that management believes are not indicative of the core performance of the business may not be excluded when preparing financial measures under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, or may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation table is presented above. View source version on businesswire.com: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20150806005772/en/ |
