    On March 12, 2014, ORBCOMM announced that it has completed the acquisition of Euroscan Holdings, B.V. (Euroscan), a leading global supplier of refrigerated transportation temperature compliance recording systems. Based in the Netherlands, Euroscan’s integrated turn-key systems are used worldwide to ensure the safe and secure transportation of food and pharmaceuticals by monitoring and assuring temperature compliance throughout the supply chain. This acquisition supports ORBCOMM’s long-term growth strategy of adding the vertical expertise, technologies and geographic markets that will strengthen its end-to-end solutions portfolio.

 

    On January 21, 2014, ORBCOMM announced that it has been approved by Rogers, the largest GSM cellular operator in Canada as a Supported Reseller (RSR). The premier RSR program allows ORBCOMM to work cooperatively with Rogers to market ORBCOMM’s suite of M2M asset tracking and monitoring solutions using Rogers’ wireless communications network.

 

    On January 17, 2014, ORBCOMM announced that it priced its underwritten registered public offering, of 5,500,000 shares of its common stock, plus an over-allotment of 825,000 additional shares, par value $0.001 per share, at a price of $6.15 per share. ORBCOMM offered all of the shares and received all the net proceeds of the Offering. ORBCOMM has used a portion of the net proceeds to acquire Euroscan and intends to use the remaining proceeds for future acquisitions as part of the company’s strategy to pursue growth opportunities and/or for general corporate purposes.

 

    On January 8, 2014, ORBCOMM was the winner of two A-List in M2M Awards for Satellite M2M Solution Provider and Heavy Equipment Asset Monitoring, announced by Compass Intelligence, a global market acceleration research and consulting firm.

 

    On December 17, 2013, ORBCOMM announced a multi-year agreement with Hub Group, Inc. to deploy ORBCOMM’s GT 2300 state-of-the-art intermodal container tracking and monitoring platform to more accurately identify loading and unloading events, which should reduce container idle time and increase customer satisfaction.

 

    On November 20, 2013, ORBCOMM announced an agreement with Telefonica Digital, that enables ORBCOMM to offer Telefonica’s GSM cellular communications service across multiple vertical markets worldwide covering more than 150 countries. Through this agreement, ORBCOMM will expand its connectivity for its end-to-end cellular and dual-mode solutions.

Financial Results and Highlights

Revenues

For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, Service Revenues were $14.8 million compared to $12.4 million during the same period last year, an increase of $2.4 million or 19.5%, with growth coming from organic Service Revenues, AIS and from acquisitions. For the year ended December 31, 2013, Service Revenues were $56.0 million compared to $49.0 million during the same period last year, an increase of $6.9 million. The year-over-year increase of 14.1% was notwithstanding a $0.6 million reduction in revenues related to the Yen exchange rate on a constant currency basis in the year.

Product Sales during the fourth quarter of 2013 were $4.5 million compared to $3.8 million during the same period last year. The quarterly year-over-year increase in Product Sales of $0.6 million was driven mainly by the acquisitions, but was offset by lower Product Sales in Japan and the impact of a less favorable U.S.$/Yen exchange rate in the fourth quarter compared to last year. Product Sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $18.3 million compared to $15.5 million in the prior year period. The full year-over-year increase of 18.0% in Product Sales was largely due to organic growth of $0.7 million at StarTrak and $4.4 million from the acquisitions, offset by lower Product Sales of $2.4 million in Japan and the impact of a less favorable U.S.$/Yen exchange rate in 2013 compared to 2012. Product Sales in the year were lower by $0.7 million due to the Yen exchange rate on a constant currency basis.

Total Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 were $19.2 million compared to $16.2 million during the same period of 2012, an increase of 18.7%. Total Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $74.2 million compared to $64.5 million in the prior year period, an increase of 15.1%.

Costs and Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $68.5 million compared to $55.4 million in the prior year period. The increase in costs for the fourth quarter and full year were impacted by higher costs for Network and Terrestrial services, Product Sales, costs to operate the three companies acquired, and costs to grow the business.

EBITDA is defined as earnings attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. before interest income (expense), 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, and noncontrolling interests, impairment loss and insurance recovery 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 expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not performance measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. While ORBCOMM considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 and Adjusted EBITDA measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation table is presented above.
