Company Exceeds Guidance Ranges for Revenue and Profitability in the First Quarter
Non-GAAP Gross Margins for SaaS, Software and Services Exceed 71% in the First Quarter
Ctrack® Telematics Solutions Continue Strong Financial Performance
SAN DIEGO, May 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Novatel Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ:MIFI), a leading provider of solutions for the Internet of Things (“IoT”), including software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) solutions for the fleet telematics market, announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.
“In the first quarter, Novatel Wireless gained traction in its evolution from being primarily a hardware manufacturer to a provider of comprehensive IoT solutions, with higher-margin SaaS, software and service offerings. Our Ctrack fleet management and other telematics solutions continued to generate strong subscriber growth during the first quarter, driving Novatel Wireless back toward profitability, with the Company achieving its highest adjusted EBITDA since 2014,” said Sue Swenson, Chair and CEO of Novatel Wireless. “The Company’s business transformation is well underway, with SaaS, software and services achieving non-GAAP gross margins of more than 71% in the first quarter, while our MiFi business continued to generate strong revenues with solid gross margins. When combining the Ctrack, FW and Novatel Wireless offerings with our strengthened expense management and discipline, I believe the Company will reach $7 million in quarterly adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of this year.”
First Quarter 2016 Financial Highlights
The Company announced the following U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”) financial results for the first quarter of 2016:
- Revenue increased by 25.0% to $66.9 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $53.5 million in the first quarter of 2015. Revenue from SaaS, software and services increased to $12.8 million in the first quarter of 2016, from only $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2015, due to the Company’s focus on growing revenue from SaaS, software and services with solutions focused on IoT, which included the acquisitions of DigiCore Holdings Limited, with its Ctrack® telematics solutions (“Ctrack”), and Feeney Wireless (“FW”) during 2015. Revenue from Ctrack solutions was $15.0 million in the first quarter of 2016, driving revenue from SaaS, software and services to 19.1% of the Company’s total revenue in the first quarter of 2016, compared to less than 1% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2015. Revenue from hardware products was $54.1 million in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of 2.1%, from $53.0 million in the first quarter of 2015.
- Net loss was ($11.9 million), or ($0.22) per share, in the first quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss of ($7.8 million), or ($0.17) per share, in the first quarter of 2015. The net loss for the first quarter of 2016 included a $2.1 million charge for amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s convertible notes issued in June 2015, $1.1 million in share-based compensation expense, $0.6 million of restructuring charges, and $2.4 million in acquisition- and divestiture-related expenses, including $1.8 million related to the amortization of the step-up to fair value of Ctrack’s finished goods.
- As of March 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8.3 million, with $3.4 million drawn down on its $48 million revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank. On April 11, 2016, the Company closed a sale with Telit Technologies (Cyprus) Limited and Telit Wireless Solutions, Inc. (collectively, “Telit”) for certain hardware modules and related assets for approximately $14.75 million, of which $9.0 million in cash was received by the Company on the closing date, plus potential earn-out payments. As a result, the Company currently has no amounts drawn down on its revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, along with higher cash balances than at March 31, 2016.
The Company also announced the following non-GAAP financial results for the first quarter of 2016. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the Company’s GAAP financial results is included in the tables accompanying this news release:
- Non-GAAP gross profit increased by 77.4% to $23.6 million in the first quarter of 2016, from $13.3 million in the first quarter of 2015, driven by a combination of increased total revenues and non-GAAP gross margins from the Company’s Ctrack and FW-branded SaaS, software and services. Overall non-GAAP gross margin increased to 35.2% in the first quarter of 2016, compared to 24.8% in the first quarter of 2015, as the Company continued its transition toward an improved mix of higher-margin IoT solutions with significant SaaS and recurring revenue components. Non-GAAP gross margin on SaaS, software and services was 71.5% in the first quarter of 2016, primarily driven by revenues from high-margin SaaS and software solutions delivered by Ctrack and FW. Non-GAAP gross margin on hardware products increased to 26.6% in the first quarter of 2016, compared to 24.2% in the first quarter of 2015, primarily as a result of reduced sales of legacy mobile computing products. The Company’s Ctrack telematics solutions acquired in October 2015, which include a mix of hardware, SaaS and services, generated non-GAAP gross margins of 63.7% in the first quarter of 2016.
- Non-GAAP operating expenses were $24.4 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $13.8 million in the first quarter of 2015, an increase of 76.8%, due to the acquisitions and integration of Ctrack and FW in 2015. The Company has undertaken cost containment measures since August 2015 to partially offset this increase in non-GAAP operating expenses, including two reductions-in-force and a closure of the Company’s Richardson, TX, facility, that, among other cost saving initiatives, have eliminated 88 full- and part-time employee and contractor positions across the Company. The Company has also announced plans to cease its manufacturing operations in Durban, South Africa, related to certain legacy Ctrack hardware products, resulting in the elimination of 44 additional positions.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared sequentially to ($0.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2015, and also compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2015. In the first quarter of 2016, adjusted EBITDA returned to profitability as the Company benefited from its emphasis on growing SaaS, software and services revenue, while also rationalizing the costs associated with its hardware business, in an effort to generate improved performance across multiple areas of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA contributed by Ctrack’s telematics solutions was $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2016.
- Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2016 was ($4.3 million), or ($0.08) per share, compared to ($0.6 million), or ($0.01) per share, in the first quarter of 2015, as the Company continues to integrate its two acquisitions from 2015.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the information presented in this news release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and often contain words such as “may,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “will” and similar words and phrases indicating future results. The information presented in this news release related to our outlook for the second quarter ending June 30, 2016, future demand for our products, the expected impact of acquisition activity, statements made by Sue Swenson, as well as other statements that are not purely statements of historical fact, are forward-looking in nature. These forward-looking statements are made on the basis of management's current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. We therefore cannot guarantee future results, performance or achievements. Actual results could differ materially from our expectations.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations are set forth as risk factors in the Company's SEC reports and filings and include (1) the future demand for wireless broadband access to data and fleet management software and services, (2) the growth of wireless wide-area networking and fleet management software and services, (3) customer and end-user acceptance of the Company's current product and service offerings and market demand for the Company's anticipated new product and service offerings, (4) increased competition and pricing pressure from participants in the markets in which the Company is engaged, (5) dependence on third party manufacturers and key component suppliers worldwide, (6) the success of the Company’s corporate development activities, including integration of Ctrack and FW and divestitures of lines of business that are not essential to the Company’s strategy, (7) unexpected liabilities or expenses, (8) the Company's ability to introduce new products and services in a timely manner, (9) litigation, regulatory and IP developments related to our products or components of our products, (10) dependence on a small number of customers for a significant portion of the Company’s revenues and (11) the Company's plans and expectations relating to acquisitions, divestitures, strategic relationships, international expansion, software and hardware developments, personnel matters and cost containment initiatives.
These factors, as well as other factors described in the reports filed by the Company with the SEC (available at www.sec.gov), could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future, except as otherwise required pursuant to applicable law and our on-going reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Novatel Wireless, Inc. has provided financial information in this news release that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net loss and net loss per share exclude restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense, charges related to the Company’s one-time all-employee 2014 retention bonus plan, amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s convertible notes, and charges related to the Company’s acquisition and divestiture activities, including the amortization of the step-up to fair value of Ctrack’s and FW’s finished goods and other compensation expense related to the acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (unrelated to acquisitions and the convertible notes), and foreign currency gains or losses.
Non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net loss and net loss per share are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be used in isolation and, moreover, they should not be considered as a substitute for gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, net loss, net loss per share or any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. We present non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net loss and net loss per share because we consider each to be an important supplemental measure of our performance.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to make operational decisions, evaluate the Company's performance, prepare forecasts and determine compensation. Further, management believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's performance when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. Share-based compensation expenses are expected to vary depending on the number of new grants issued to both current and new employees and changes in the Company's stock price, stock market volatility, expected option term and risk-free interest rates, all of which are difficult to estimate. In calculating non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net loss and net loss per share, management excludes certain non-cash and one-time items in order to facilitate comparability of the Company's operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such expenses are not, in management's view, related to the Company's ongoing operating performance. Management uses this view of the Company’s operating performance for purposes of comparison with its business plan and individual operating budgets and in the allocation of resources.
The Company further believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in providing greater transparency to the information used by management in its operational decision-making. The Company believes that the use of non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net loss and net loss per share also facilitates a comparison of our underlying operating performance with that of other companies in our industry, which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.
Calculations of non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net loss and net loss per share have limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP metrics. In the future, the Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items in the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Investors and potential investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. The limitations of relying on non-GAAP financial measures include, but are not limited to, the fact that other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool.
Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures contained within this news release with our GAAP financial results.
