“We’re pleased with our first quarter results with Revenues coming in as expected while navigating through a global component supply shortage,” said Marc Eisenberg, ORBCOMM’s Chief Executive Officer. “We’re continuing to see customer demand return to normalized levels as evidenced by the 87,000 devices we shipped in the quarter. This resulted in year-over-year and sequential growth in product sales. With the integration work now behind us, we believe the Company is well-positioned to capitalize on strong tailwinds in the industrial IoT market. We are excited about the proposed acquisition by GI Partners and believe this transaction provides ORBCOMM shareholders with substantial value. As we look forward to completing the closing conditions of our merger, we remain focused on continuing to drive innovation, provide world-class service to our customers and expand our market share in the industrial IoT.”

Financial Results

Revenues

Total Revenues for the first quarter of 2021 were $63.7 million compared to $66.2 million in the prior year period. 

Service Revenues were $37.8 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $40.5 million in the same period last year. Recurring Service Revenues were $36.2 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $39.9 million in the prior year period, which included a $1.9 million favorable benefit from the AT&T expired contract. Other Service Revenues, comprised of installation services, professional services and software licenses, were $1.5 million in the quarter. The Company added over 50,000 net subscribers in the first quarter bringing the total billable subscriber communicators to approximately 2.28 million as of March 31, 2021.

Product Sales were $25.9 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 1.1% compared to the prior year period and up 5.1% sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2020 as hardware shipments to customers continued to improve.

Gross Margin ⁽¹⁾

GAAP Service Gross Margin, inclusive of depreciation and amortization expense, was 54.8% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 57.2% in the prior year period. Non-GAAP Service Gross Margin, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, was 66.4% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 67.7% in the prior year period. The year-over-year decline was primarily due to $1.9 million of deferred service revenue recognized in the first quarter of 2020 and to a lesser extent a larger number of installations occurring in the first quarter of 2021 at relatively low margins.

GAAP Product Gross Margin, inclusive of depreciation and amortization expense, was 23.1% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 30.7% in the prior year period. Non-GAAP Product Gross Margin, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, was 24.4% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 32.6% in the same period last year. The year-over-year decline was largely due to a mix of lower margin Product sales and to a lesser extent higher component costs as a result of the global supply shortage and higher indirect costs.

Satellite Impairment

The Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2021 to write-off the net book value of one OG2 satellite. This is the same satellite the Company has been trying to restore as described in prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Operating Expenses

Operating Expenses for the first quarter of 2021 were $40.1 million compared to $37.0 million for the same period in 2020. The $3.1 million year-over-year increase was primarily due to the non-cash $6.7 million satellite impairment loss recognized in the first quarter of 2021. Excluding the impairment loss, operating expenses improved $3.5 million compared to the prior year period largely due to lower selling, general and administrative costs, primarily from lower bad debt and travel and entertainment expenses, as well as from lower depreciation and amortization expense.

Net Income (Loss) and Earnings Per Share ⁽¹⁾

Net Loss Attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders for the first quarter of 2021 was $10.6 million, or $0.13 per share, largely as a result of the $6.7 million satellite impairment loss, compared to a Net Loss of $7.0 million, or $0.09 per share in the first quarter of 2020. Excluding the one-time impairment loss and acquisition-related costs, Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders for the first quarter of 2021 was $3.3 million, or $0.04 per share.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA ⁽¹⁾

EBITDA for the first quarter of 2021 was $4.3 million compared to $11.8 million in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2021 was $13.5 million compared to $13.7 million in the prior year period. Excluding the favorable $1.9 million net benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2020 from the expired AT&T contract, Adjusted EBITDA improved $1.7 million, or 14.6% over the prior year period. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased to 21.2%, an improvement of 290 basis points over the prior year on a comparable basis driven largely by cost reductions.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

As of March 31, 2021, Cash and Cash Equivalents totaled $38.3 million. Cash Flow from Operations for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $6.7 million and Capital Expenditures were $5.7 million in the quarter, inclusive of $1.0 million associated with subscription model investments.

Proposed Merger Agreement

On April 8, 2021, ORBCOMM announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by GI Partners, a leading U.S.-based private equity investment firm, in an all-cash transaction that puts ORBCOMM’s enterprise value at approximately $1.1 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, ORBCOMM shareholders will receive $11.50 in cash per outstanding share of common stock upon closing of the transaction, representing a premium of approximately 52% to ORBCOMM’s closing share price on April 7, 2021 and a 50% premium over the 90-day volume-weighted average share price through that date. As part of the agreement, ORBCOMM and its representatives may actively solicit and consider alternative acquisition proposals during a 30-day “go-shop” period that will expire on May 7, 2021. ORBCOMM does not intend to disclose developments with respect to the solicitation process unless and until it determines such disclosure is appropriate or is otherwise required.

Unless the merger agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, in connection with an alternative acquisition proposal or otherwise, the transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021 following the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval by ORBCOMM shareholders and the receipt of required regulatory approvals. Upon completion of the transaction, ORBCOMM will become a privately held company and its common stock will no longer be listed on Nasdaq. Additional information, including the full press release and definitive merger agreement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, are available in the Investors section of the Company’s website at http://investors.orbcomm.com.

ORBCOMM publicly reports its financial information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). To facilitate external analysis of the Company’s operating performance, ORBCOMM also presents financial information that are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under Regulation G and related reporting requirements promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP measures 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 those presented by other companies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Service Gross Margin and Non-GAAP Product Gross Margin are not performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and are therefore considered non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation tables are presented above.

EBITDA is defined as earnings attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and loss on debt extinguishment. 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 Adjusted EBITDA, defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, noncontrolling interests, impairment loss, and acquisition-related and integration costs, is useful to investors to evaluate the Company’s core operating results and financial performance because it excludes items that are significant non-cash or non-recurring expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total Revenues.

Non-GAAP Service Gross Margin is defined as Non-GAAP Service gross profit divided by Service Revenue. Non-GAAP Service gross profit is defined as Service Revenue, minus cost of services (including depreciation and amortization expense) plus depreciation and amortization expense. Non-GAAP Product Gross Margin is defined as Non-GAAP Product gross profit divided by Product Sales. Non-GAAP Product gross profit is defined as Product Sales, minus cost of product sales (including depreciation and amortization expense) plus depreciation and amortization expense. The Company believes that Non-GAAP Service Gross Margin and Non-GAAP Product Gross Margin are useful to evaluate and compare the results of the Company’s operations from period to period on a consistent basis by removing the depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments from its operating results.

Adjusted Net Loss attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders is defined as Net Loss attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders, excluding Impairment loss – satellite network. Adjusted Basic EPS is defined as Basic EPS excluding Impairment loss – satellite network. Adjusted Net Loss attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders and Adjusted Basic EPS 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.
