FLEETMATICS GROUP PLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of the Business

Fleetmatics Group PLC (the “Company”) is a public limited company incorporated in the Republic of Ireland. On September 21, 2012, the Company changed its corporate structure from a private limited company to a public limited company. On that date, the Company became the holding company of Fleetmatics Group Limited (a private limited company incorporated in 2004 in the Republic of Ireland) and its subsidiaries by way of a share-for-share exchange in which the shareholders of Fleetmatics Group Limited exchanged their shares in Fleetmatics Group Limited for identical shares in Fleetmatics Group PLC. Upon the exchange, the historical consolidated financial statements of Fleetmatics Group Limited became the historical consolidated financial statements of Fleetmatics Group PLC.

The Company is a leading global provider of mobile workforce solutions delivered as software-as-a-service (“SaaS”). Its mobile software platform enables businesses to meet the challenges associated with managing their local fleets of commercial vehicles and improve productivity by extracting actionable business intelligence from real-time and historical vehicle and driver behavioral data. The Company offers intuitive, cost-effective Web-based and mobile solutions that provide fleet operators with visibility into vehicle location, fuel usage, speed and mileage and other insights into their mobile workforce, enabling them to reduce operating and capital costs, as well as increase revenue. An integrated, full-featured mobile workforce management product provides additional efficiencies related to job management by empowering the field worker and expediting the job completion process from quote through payment. New customers for the Company’s SaaS offerings typically enter into initial 36-month, non-cancelable subscription agreements for fleet management solutions and 12-month non-cancelable subscription agreements for field service management solutions, with amounts generally billed and due monthly; however, some customers prepay all or part of their contractual obligations quarterly, annually or for the full contract term in exchange for a prepayment discount that is reflected in the pricing of the contract.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. All dollar amounts in the financial statements and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, except share and per share amounts, are stated in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015, the consolidated statements of operations, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited. The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2015, the results of its operations, its comprehensive income, and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The consolidated financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are also unaudited. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or for any other interim periods or future year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been condensed or omitted in these interim financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2015.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable, is used to measure fair value:

 

    Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fleetmatics did not have any financial assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2015 designated as Level 1.

 

    Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices) such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Fleetmatics did not have any financial assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2015 designated as Level 2.

 

    Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. Fleetmatics has a contingent consideration assumed as a result of the Ornicar acquisition of $2.2 million as of March 31, 2015 designated as Level 3. The Company’s contingent purchase consideration is valued by probability weighting expected payment scenarios and then applying a discount based on the present value of the future cash flow streams. This liability is classified as Level 3 because the probability weighting of future payment scenarios is based on assumptions developed by management. The Company determined a probability weighting that is weighted towards Ornicar achieving certain unit sales and pricing targets at the time of acquisition and the discount rate that is based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital which is then adjusted for the time value of money. The probability weighting will be adjusted as the actual results provide the Company with more reliable information to weight the probability scenarios.

The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities (with the exception of the Level 3 fair value measurement noted above) approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no other assets or liabilities that would be classified under this fair value hierarchy.

Deferred Commissions

The Company capitalizes commission costs that are incremental and directly related to the acquisition of customer contracts. For the majority of its customer contracts, the Company pays commissions in full when it receives the initial customer contract for a new subscription or a renewal subscription. For all other customer contracts, the Company pays commissions in full when it receives the initial customer payment for a new subscription or a renewal subscription. Commission costs are capitalized upon payment and are amortized as expense ratably over the term of the related non-cancelable customer contract, in proportion to the recognition of the subscription revenue. If a subscription agreement is terminated, the unamortized portion of any deferred commission cost is recognized as expense immediately.

Commission costs capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 totaled $2,549 and $2,020, respectively. Amortization of deferred commissions totaled $2,439 and $1,758 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and is included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred commission costs, net of amortization, are included in other current and long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets and totaled $15,538 and $15,496 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Foreign exchange differences also contribute to changes in the net amount of these deferred commission costs.

Capitalized In-Vehicle Device Costs

For customer arrangements in which we retain ownership of the in-vehicle devices installed in a customer’s fleet, we capitalize the cost of the in-vehicle devices (including installation and shipping costs) as a component of property and equipment in our consolidated balance sheets, and we depreciate these assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life, which is currently six years. If a customer subscription agreement is canceled or expires prior to the end of the expected useful life of the in-vehicle device, the carrying value of the asset is depreciated in full with expense immediately recorded as cost of subscription revenue. The carrying value of these installed in-vehicle devices (including installation and shipping costs) was $63.7 million and $61.8 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Depreciation of these installed in-vehicle devices totaled is included in cost of subscription revenue in our consolidated statements of operations.

For the limited number of customer arrangements in which title to the in-vehicle devices transfers to the customer upon delivery or installation of the in-vehicle device (for which the Company receives an up-front fee from the customer), the Company defers the

Table of Contents

costs of the installed in-vehicle devices (including installation and shipping costs) as they are directly related to the revenue that the Company derives from the sale of the devices and that it recognizes ratably over the estimated average customer relationship period of six years. The Company capitalizes these in-vehicle device costs and amortizes the deferred costs as expense ratably over the estimated average customer relationship period, in proportion to the recognition of the up-front fee revenue.

Costs of in-vehicle devices owned by customers that were capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 totaled $12 and $31, respectively. Amortization of these capitalized costs totaled $426 and $286 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and is included in cost of subscription revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. Capitalized costs related to these in-vehicle devices of which title has transferred to customers, net of amortization, are included in other current and long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets and totaled $2,039 and $2,398 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Prior to the issuance of the standard, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as an asset. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 addresses management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP. The standard requires either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). In April 2015, the FASB proposed deferring the effective date of the new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date. The FASB also proposed permitting early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2017. We are in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard issued in May 2014 will have on our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the ASU No. 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

(1) During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company removed $2,441 of fully depreciated in-vehicle devices no longer in service.

Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment totaled $6,566 and $4,303 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Of those amounts, $5,974 and $3,864 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, was recorded in cost of subscription revenue primarily related to depreciation of installed in-vehicle devices and amortization of internal-use software and the remaining costs were included in various operating expenses. The carrying value of installed in-vehicle devices (including shipping and installation costs), net of accumulated depreciation, was $63,679 and $61,804 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Foreign exchange differences contribute to changes in the carrying value of installed in-vehicle devices.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company capitalized costs of $982 and $416, respectively, associated with the development of its internal-use software related to its on-demand software accessed by customers via its website as well as customization and development of its internal business systems. Amortization expense of the internal-use software totaled $478 and $114 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The carrying value of capitalized internal-use software was $5,188 and $5,325 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Foreign exchange differences also contribute to changes in the carrying value of internal-use software.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the gross amount of assets under capital leases totaled $3,496 and $3,327, respectively, and related accumulated amortization totaled $1,479 and $1,459, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company expensed $559 and $417, respectively, in conjunction with the replacement of installed in-vehicle devices resulting from the Company’s proactive migration to the most recent technology and to a lesser degree a required replacement of those devices. The expense was recorded in cost of subscription revenue and is included in loss on disposal of property and equipment and other assets in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

5. Business Combination

On February 19, 2015, the Company acquired all of the stock and equity interests of Ornicar SAS (“Ornicar”), a France-based privately-held SaaS provider of fleet management solutions. The total consideration of $10,634 consisted of $8,395 of cash paid to acquire all of the assets of Ornicar and to assume a nominal amount of liabilities and $2,239 of contingent consideration. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill of $8,628. This acquisition reflects the Company’s global growth strategy to further expand into mainland Europe and to acquire additional customers in new territories.

The following table summarizes the purchase price for Ornicar and the estimated fair values of the separately identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of February 19, 2015:

10. Long-term Debt

Credit Facility

On January 21, 2015, Fleetmatics Group PLC and its subsidiaries Fleetmatics USA, LLC and Fleetmatics Development Limited, as borrowers (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, for a senior, first-priority secured financing comprised of revolving loans, letters of credit and swing line loans in a total maximum amount of $125,000 (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility consists of a five-year multi-currency revolving credit facility in a dollar amount of up to $125,000 which includes a sublimit of $5,000 for letters of credit and a $10,000 swing line facility. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the Credit Facility to a total of $200,000, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. The Company used the net proceeds of borrowings under the Credit Facility to repay the $23,750 outstanding under the Company’s previously existing revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Amended Revolving Credit Facility”), and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As a result of the early repayment of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, in the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $107, comprised of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Table of Contents

At the Company’s election, loans made under the Credit Facility bear interest at either (1) a rate per annum equal to (a) the highest of the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, or 0.5% in excess of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or 2.0% in excess of one- month LIBOR (the “Base Rate”), plus an applicable margin, or (2) the one-, two-, three-, or six-month per annum LIBOR for deposits in U.S. dollars, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the revolving loans depends on the Company’s leverage ratio and varies from 0.5% to 1.25%, in the case of Base Rate loans, and from 1.50% to 2.25%, in the case of LIBOR loans. Swing line loans bear interest at the Base Rate. Commitment fees on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility (excluding swing line loans) are payable at rates per annum ranging from 0.2% to 0.3%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

On the issuance date of January 21, 2015, the Credit Facility was recorded in the consolidated balance sheet net of discount of $708, related to fees assessed by the lender at the time. The carrying value of this debt is being accreted to the principal amount of the debt by charges to interest expense using the effective-interest method over the five-year term of the Credit Facility to the maturity date. At March 31, 2015, the debt discount balance totaled $681. Accretion amounts recognized as interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $27. On the issuance date, the Company also capitalized deferred financing costs of $501 related to third-party fees incurred in connection with the Credit Facility. These deferred costs are being amortized through charges to interest expense using the effective-interest method over the five-year term of the Credit Facility to the expiration date. At March 31, 2015, deferred financing cost recorded in other current assets and other assets (non-current) were $100 and $381, and totaled $481. Amortization amounts recognized as interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $20.

The Credit Facility contains certain customary financial, affirmative and negative covenants including a maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio and negative covenants that limit or restrict, among other things, dividends, secured indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, asset dispositions and sales, investments and acquisitions, liens and encumbrances, transactions with affiliates, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility may be repaid and, subject to customary terms and conditions, reborrowed at any time during and up to the maturity date. Any outstanding balance under the Credit Facility is due and payable no later than January 21, 2020. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $23,750 under the Credit Facility and was in compliance with all such covenants.

11. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 11.8%, on pre-tax income of $13,328. The effective tax rate for three months ended March 31, 2015 was lower than the statutory Irish rate of 12.5% primarily due to income being generated in a jurisdiction that has a lower tax rate than the Irish statutory rate and to the Irish research and development tax credit. The Company made a change to its organizational structure that impacted the jurisdictional mix of profits and was favorable to our income tax expense. The decrease associated with these items was partially offset by the recording of uncertain tax positions including interest and penalties.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 29.8%, on pre-tax income of $5,170. The effective tax rate for three months ended March 31, 2014 was higher than the statutory Irish rate of 12.5% primarily due to income being generated in jurisdictions that have a higher tax rate than the Irish statutory rate and to the recording of uncertain tax positions including interest and penalties. The increase associated with these items was partially offset by the Irish research and development tax credit.

It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest, may decrease by up to $1,002. This is primarily due to statute of limitations expiring for the recognition of these tax benefits of one of the Company’s non-Irish subsidiaries in 2015.

12. Share-Based Awards

2011 Stock Option and Incentive Plan

In September 2011, the Board of Directors adopted and the Company’s shareholders approved the 2011 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan permits the Company to make grants of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units and cash-based awards at an exercise price no less than the fair market value per share of the Company’s ordinary shares on the grant date and with a maximum term of seven years. These awards may be granted to the Company’s employees and non-employee directors. In February 2014, pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Plan, the number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan automatically increased by 1,761,450 shares from 1,883,334 to 3,644,784, calculated as 4.75% of the January 31, 2014 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. In February 2015, pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Plan, the number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan automatically increased by 1,800,126 shares from 3,644,784 to 5,444,910, calculated as 4.75% of the January 31, 2015 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. This number is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in our capitalization.

The Company grants share-based awards with employment service conditions only (“service-based” awards) and share-based awards with both employment service and performance conditions (“performance-based” awards). The Company applies the fair value recognition provisions for all share-based awards granted or modified and records compensation costs over the requisite service period

of the award based on the grant-date fair value. The straight-line method is applied to all service-based awards granted, while the graded-vesting method is applied to all performance-based awards granted. The requisite service period for service-based awards is generally four years, with restrictions lapsing evenly over the period.

2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan

In September 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted and its shareholders approved the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan, which became effective upon the closing of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in October 2012. The 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 400,000 ordinary shares to participating employees.

All employees who have been employed for at least 30 days and whose customary employment is for more than 20 hours per week are eligible to participate in the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan. Any employee who owns 5% or more of the voting power or value of ordinary shares is not eligible to purchase shares under the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan. The Company will make one or more offerings each year to its employees to purchase shares under the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan. The first offering began during 2013 and subsequent offerings will usually begin on each May 1st and November 1st and will continue for six-month periods, referred to as offering periods. Each eligible employee may elect to participate in any offering by submitting an enrollment form at least 15 days before the relevant offering date.

Each employee who is a participant in the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan may purchase shares by authorizing payroll deductions of up to 15% of his or her base compensation during an offering period. Unless the participating employee has previously withdrawn from the offering, his or her accumulated payroll deductions will be used to purchase ordinary shares on the last business day of the offering period at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares on the first business day or the last business day of the offering period, whichever is lower, provided that no more than 2,500 ordinary shares may be purchased by any one employee during each offering period. Under applicable tax rules, an employee may purchase no more than $25 worth of ordinary shares, valued at the start of the purchase period, under the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan in any calendar year.

The accumulated payroll deductions of any employee who is not a participant on the last day of an offering period will be refunded. An employee’s rights under the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan terminate upon voluntary withdrawal from the plan or when the employee ceases employment with us for any reason.

The 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan may be terminated or amended by the Board of Directors at any time. An amendment that increases the number of ordinary shares that are authorized under the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan and certain other amendments require the approval of the Company’s shareholders.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards

On February 20, 2015, the Company granted service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for the purchase of 667,185 ordinary shares and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) for the purchase of 224,250 ordinary shares with a grant-date fair value of $38.88. The RSUs have restrictions which lapse four years from the date of grant. Restrictions on the PSUs will lapse based upon the achievement of certain financial performance targets during the applicable performance period, which ends on December 31, 2015. The grant date fair value of the shares is recognized over the requisite period of performance once achievement of criteria is deemed probable. Periodically throughout the performance period, the Company estimates the likelihood of achieving performance goals. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates. If the targets are not achieved, the shares will be forfeited by the employee.

The Company leases its office space under non-cancelable operating leases, some of which contain payment escalations. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease term and records the difference between cash rent payments and rent expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as accrued rent within accrued expenses (current) and other liabilities (non-current). The Company also leases office equipment under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2019.

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating and capital leases at March 31, 2015 are as follows:

Data Center Agreements

The Company has agreements with various vendors to provide specialized space and services for the Company to host its software application. Future minimum payments under non-cancelable data center agreements at March 31, 2015 totaling $765 which will become payable in the year ending December 31, 2015.

Purchase Commitments

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had non-cancelable purchase commitments related to telecommunications, subscription fees for third-party data (such as Internet maps) and subscription fees for software services totaling $8,831, of which $3,671, $2,805, and $2,355 will become payable in the years ending December 31, 2015, 2016, and 2017, respectively.

Indemnification Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, from services to be provided by the Company, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and certain of its officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any claims under indemnification arrangements will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company may receive notification alleging infringement of patent or other intellectual property rights. The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings, nor is the Company aware of any pending or threatened litigation, that, in its opinion, would have a material adverse effect on its business or its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows should such litigation be resolved unfavorably. The Company accrues contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.

On December 19, 2013, GPNE Corp. filed a complaint against the Company (GPNE Corp. v. Fleetmatics USA, LLC, Civil Action No. 13-2049) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging infringement of certain U.S. patents. The parties executed an agreement to settle the claims for an amount that is not material to the business of the Company and on April 15, 2015 GPNE filed a joint stipulation of dismissal. The Court dismissed the case with prejudice on April 16, 2015 and the case is now closed.

15. Subsequent Event

In April 2015, the Company granted service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for the purchase of 137,917 ordinary shares and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) for the purchase of 128,917 ordinary shares with a grant-date fair value of $44.46. The RSUs have restrictions which lapse four years from the date of grant. Restrictions on the PSUs will lapse based upon the achievement of certain financial performance targets during the applicable performance period, which ends on December 31, 2015. The grant date fair value of the shares is recognized over the requisite period of performance once achievement of criteria is deemed probable. Periodically throughout the performance period, the Company estimates the likelihood of achieving performance goals. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates. If the targets are not achieved, the shares will be forfeited by the employee.

Overview

Fleetmatics is a leading global provider of mobile workforce solutions delivered as software-as-a-service, or SaaS. Our mobile software platform enables businesses to meet the challenges associated with managing their local fleets of commercial vehicles and improve productivity by extracting actionable business intelligence from vehicle and driver behavioral data. We offer intuitive, cost-effective Web-based and mobile application solutions that provide fleet operators with visibility into vehicle location, fuel usage, speed and mileage and other insights into their mobile workforce, enabling them to reduce operating and capital costs, as well as increase revenue. In addition, we offer an integrated, full-featured mobile workforce management application which provides additional efficiencies related to job management by empowering the field worker and expediting the job completion process from quote through payment. As of March 31, 2015, we had approximately 28,000 customers who collectively deployed our solutions in approximately 594,000 vehicles worldwide. The substantial majority of our customers are small and medium-sized businesses, or SMBs, each of which deploys our solutions in 500 or fewer vehicles. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we collected an average of approximately 69 million data points per day from these vehicles, and we have aggregated over 80 billion data points since our inception, which we believe provides valuable information that we may consider in the development of complementary solutions and additional sources of revenue.

We were founded in 2004 in Dublin, Ireland through a combination of two fleet management companies, WebSoft Ltd. and Moviltec Ltd. Since inception, our software has been designed to be delivered as a hosted, multi-tenant offering, accessed through a Web browser utilizing broadly available in-vehicle devices to transmit vehicle and driver behavioral data to our databases over cellular networks.

In April 2014, Fleetmatics announced the release of its new software platform and the launch of the three new product offerings with new and, in some cases, patented features: Fleetmatics REVEAL, a business-intelligence based fleet management solution for SMBs; Fleetmatics REVEAL+, which extends Fleetmatics REVEAL to enterprises and is configurable to customers requiring integration capabilities with third-party workflow solutions; and Fleetmatics WORK, a field service management solution. This software platform is an analytics-based, extensible foundation to deliver solutions, features, insights and applications that optimize how a mobile workforce gets work done, and how a business manages those mobile assets. The three product offerings that fall under the software platform offer a solution for service fleet and field service management designed to help businesses maximize their return on fleet and mobile workforce investments.

We derive substantially all of our revenues from subscription agreements to our solutions, which typically include the use of our SaaS fleet management solution and an in-vehicle device. We generate sales through lead-generating Web-based advertising and targeted outbound sales efforts, which we then work to convert into paying customers. Our in-vehicle devices are installed by our network of installation partners. Initial customer contracts are typically 36 months in duration for fleet management customers and 12 months in duration for field service management customers, both with automatic annual renewals for one or more years thereafter, unless the customer elects not to renew. These contract terms provide us with a high degree of visibility into future revenue. Our customer contracts are non-cancelable, and our customers generally are billed on a monthly basis.

We have achieved significant revenue growth historically. Our growth has been driven through a combination of selling to new customers, selling additional vehicle subscriptions to existing customers, as their number of vehicles under management increases, as

well as selling additional features of our fleet management applications to our existing customers. Our customer acquisition model is designed to be efficient and scalable by focusing on acquiring large volumes of leads primarily through Web-based sales and marketing efforts. Through these efforts, we have successfully driven strong growth in sales among a relatively diverse and distributed SMB customer base. In the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, our largest customer accounted for approximately 5% and 6%, respectively, of our subscription revenue and our top 25 customers represented approximately 14% and 15%, respectively, of our subscription revenue.

As we pursue our growth strategy, we will have many opportunities and challenges. One of our key initiatives is to expand our business internationally and we expect to hire additional personnel as we pursue this expansion. In February 2015, we acquired France-based Ornicar. In the future, we may complete additional strategic acquisitions to help us expand our sales and operations internationally. We will have to address additional risks as we pursue this international expansion, including the difficulties of localizing our solutions, competing with local companies as well as the challenge of managing and staffing international operations. We also intend to explore opportunities to capitalize on the data we accumulate from our customers’ vehicles as we seek ways to monetize this valuable information. Over time, we may experience pressure on pricing as our products become more mature and as competition intensifies in various markets. Each of our strategic initiatives will require expenditure of capital and management focus and we may be unsuccessful as we execute our strategy.

In each quarter since our inception, we have increased our number of customers and the number of vehicles subscribed to our solutions. As of March 31, 2015, we had approximately 594,000 vehicles under subscription, an increase of 25.8% from approximately 472,000 as of March 31, 2014. Total vehicles under subscription at March 31, 2015 of 594,000 included over 15,000 of vehicles under subscription as a result of our acquisition of Ornicar. Our subscription revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2015 grew 26.2% to $65.5 million compared to $51.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014. As the business has grown, we have leveraged our scale to negotiate improved pricing associated with application hosting, procurement of in-vehicle devices, telecommunication services and third-party data subscription services. We reported net income of $11.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to net income of $3.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Our Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below under Key Financial and Operating Metrics) in the three months ended March 31, 2015 grew 53.8% to $21.2 million compared to $13.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014.

On January 31, 2013, we completed a follow-on public offering of our ordinary shares which resulted in the sale of 7,700,000 ordinary shares at a price to the public of $25.00 per share. All of the shares sold in the offering were sold by Fleetmatics Investor Holdings, L.P., the principal stockholder of the Company. In addition, certain of the existing shareholders granted the underwriters an option to purchase an additional 1,155,000 ordinary shares. Fleetmatics did not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares. The expenses of the offering, not including the underwriting discount, were approximately $0.8 million and were paid by us.

On July 30, 2013, we completed a follow-on public offering of our ordinary shares, which resulted in the sale of 1,000,000 ordinary shares by the Company and 9,925,000 ordinary shares by other selling shareholders at a price of $33.00 per ordinary share. The Company received net proceeds from this follow-on offering of $32.1 million, based upon the price of $33.00 per ordinary share and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs paid by the Company. The Company received no proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares by the selling shareholders.

On September 23, 2013, we completed a follow-on public offering of our ordinary shares, which resulted in the sale of 5,976,443 ordinary shares by the by other selling shareholders at a price of $46.79 per ordinary share. All of the shares sold in the offering were sold by Fleetmatics Investor Holdings, L.P., the principal stockholder of the Company. In addition, certain of the existing shareholders granted the underwriters an option to purchase an additional 597,644 ordinary shares. Fleetmatics did not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares.

Key Financial and Operating Metrics

In addition to traditional financial metrics, we monitor the ongoing operation of our business using a number of financially and non-financially derived metrics that are not included in our consolidated financial statements.

     594,000         472,000   

Adjusted EBITDA

   $ 21,184       $ 13,777   

Total vehicles under subscription. This metric represents the number of vehicles managed by our customers utilizing one or more of our SaaS solutions at the end of the period. Since our revenue is primarily driven by the number of vehicles that subscribe to our SaaS solutions, we believe that total vehicles under subscription is an important metric to monitor.

Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus provision for (benefit from) income taxes, interest (income) expense, net, foreign currency transaction gain (loss), net, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, amortization of capitalized in-vehicle-devices owned by customers, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, certain non-recurring litigation and settlement costs, certain non-recurring secondary public offering costs, acquisition-related transaction costs, and loss on extinguishment of debt.

We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations because it is a key measure used by our management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends; to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short and long-term operational plans; and to allocate resources to expand our business. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Adjusted EBITDA is a key financial measure used by the compensation committee of our Board of Directors in connection with the payment of bonuses to our executive officers. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of Directors.

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

    although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on our debt or any losses on the extinguishment of our debt;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the costs of certain non-recurring litigation and settlement payments;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain non-recurring secondary public offering costs;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect acquisition-related transaction costs;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not include foreign currency transaction gains and losses; and

 

    other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other GAAP results. The following unaudited table presents a reconciliation from net income to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:

Components of Results of Operations

Subscription Revenue

We derive substantially all of our revenue from subscription fees for our solutions, which typically include the use of our SaaS fleet management solution and an in-vehicle device. Our revenue is driven primarily by the number of vehicles under subscription and the price per vehicle under subscription. In addition, we generate revenue by selling our customers additional features, such as our fuel card integration, driving style option, and integration with Global Positioning System or GPS, navigation devices. We also generate revenue by selling aggregated, anonymous data to traffic subscription service providers.

Our contract terms generally are 36 months for fleet management customers and 12 months for field service management customers for their initial term with automatic annual renewals for one or more years thereafter, unless the customer elects not to renew. We collect fees from our customers for a ratable portion of the contract on a periodic basis, generally on a monthly basis in advance. Our payment terms are typically monthly in advance; however, we continue to enable our customers to prepay all or part of their contractual obligations quarterly, annually or for the full contract term in exchange for a prepayment discount that is reflected in the pricing of the contract.

Cost of Subscription Revenue

Cost of subscription revenue consists primarily of costs related to communications, third-party data and hosting costs (which include the cost of telecommunications charges for data; subscription fees paid to third-party providers of Internet maps; posted speed limit and other data; and costs of hosting of our software applications underlying our product offerings); third-party costs related to the maintenance and repair of installed in-vehicle devices, which we refer to as field service costs; depreciation of in-vehicle devices (including installation and shipping costs related to these devices); amortization of capitalized in-vehicle devices owned by customers; personnel costs (including share-based compensation) of our customer support activities and related to configuration of our solutions to interface with the customers’ workflow or other internal systems where necessary; amortization expense for internal-use capitalized software costs; amortization of developed technology acquired as part of our acquisition of Ornicar in February 2015, KKT in May 2014, Connect2Field in August 2013 and SageQuest in July 2010; amortization of the patent for our vehicle tracking system; and an allocation of occupancy and general office related expenses, such as rent and utilities, based on headcount. We allocate a portion of customer support costs related to assisting in the sales process to sales and marketing expense.

We capitalize the cost of installed in-vehicle devices (including installation and shipping costs related to these devices) and depreciate these costs over the minimum estimated useful life of the devices or over the estimated average customer relationship period, which are both currently six years. If a customer subscription agreement is canceled or expires prior to the end of the expected useful life of the device under contract, the depreciation period is accelerated resulting in the carrying value being expensed in the then-current period. Furthermore, as a result of the decommissioning of its 2G network by one of our primary network providers, we are incurring additional costs as we migrate customers from in-vehicle devices that support 2G networks to in-vehicle devices that support 3G networks. We expect to have the customer migration completed by the end of 2016.

The expenses related to our hosted software applications are only modestly affected by the number of customers who subscribe to our products because of the scalability of our software applications, data expansion and hosting infrastructure. However, many of the other components of our cost of subscription revenue, such as depreciation of in-vehicle devices and installation and shipping costs related to these devices, communications expense and subscription fees paid to our Internet map providers and for other third-party data are variable costs affected by the number of vehicles subscribed by customers.

Table of Contents

We expect that the cost of subscription revenue in absolute dollars may increase in the future depending on the growth rate of subscription sales to new and existing customers and our resulting need to service and support those customers. We also expect that cost of subscription revenue as a percentage of subscription revenue will fluctuate from period to period.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits (including share-based compensation) for sales and marketing personnel, including the amortization of deferred commissions and travel related expenses; advertising and promotional costs; and an allocation of occupancy and general office related expenses, such as rent and utilities, based on headcount. Also included in our sales and marketing expenses is the amortization of the value of customer relationships and trademarks acquired as part of our SageQuest acquisition in 2010 and Ornicar in February 2015. Advertising costs consist primarily of pay-per-click advertising with search engines, other online and offline advertising media, as well as the costs to create and produce these advertisements. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. We capitalize commission costs that are incremental and directly related to the acquisition of new customer contracts or renewals. For the majority of our customer contracts, we pay commissions in full when we receive the initial customer contract for a new subscription or a renewal subscription. For all other customer contracts, we pay commissions in full when we receive the initial customer payment for a new subscription or a renewal subscription. Commission costs are capitalized upon payment and are amortized as expense ratably over the term of the related non-cancelable customer contract, in proportion to the recognition of the subscription revenue. If a subscription agreement is terminated, the unamortized portion of any deferred commission cost is recognized as an expense immediately.

We plan to continue to invest in sales and marketing in order to drive growth in our sales and continue to build brand and category awareness. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars and to continue to be our largest operating expense in absolute dollars and as a percentage of subscription revenue, although they may fluctuate as a percentage of subscription revenue.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits (including share-based compensation) for product management and development personnel, costs of external consultants, and, to a lesser extent, an allocation of occupancy and general office related expenses, such as rent and utilities, based on headcount. We have focused our research and development efforts on improving ease of use, functionality and technological scalability of our existing products as well as on expanding and developing new offerings. The majority of our research and development employees are located in our development center in Ireland. Therefore, a majority of research and development expense is subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, except for certain internal-use software development costs that qualify for capitalization, such as costs related to software enhancements that add functionality, which are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful life.

We believe that continued investment in our technology is important for our future growth, and as a result, we expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars, although they may fluctuate as a percentage of subscription revenue.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits (including share-based compensation) for administrative services, human resources, internal information technology support, executive, legal, finance and accounting personnel; professional fees; expenses for business application software licenses; non-income related taxes; other corporate expenses, such as insurance; bad debt expenses; and an allocation of occupancy and general office related expenses, such as rent and utilities, based on headcount.

We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase as we continue to add personnel in connection with the anticipated growth of our business.

Interest Income (Expense), net

Interest income (expense), net consists primarily of interest expense on our outstanding debt as well as on our capital lease obligations.

 

23


Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Transaction Gain (Loss), net

Foreign currency transaction gain (loss), net consists primarily of the net unrealized gains and losses recognized upon revaluing the foreign currency-denominated intercompany payables and receivables of our various subsidiaries at each balance sheet date. To a lesser extent, foreign currency transaction gain (loss), net also consists of the transaction gains and losses recorded to revalue the foreign currency-denominated customer accounts receivable and vendor payables recorded by our subsidiaries that transact in currencies other than their functional currency. We currently do not engage in hedging activities related to our foreign currency-denominated intercompany balances or our customer receivables and other payables; as such, we cannot predict the impact of future foreign currency transaction gains and losses on our operating results. See Item 3 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes consists primarily of taxes in Ireland, the United States and the United Kingdom. There are two main drivers of our annual effective tax rate. First, as a multi-national company, we are subject to tax in various jurisdictions which apply various statutory rates of tax to our income. Each of these jurisdictions has its own tax law which is subject to interpretation on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. In Ireland, our operating entity is subject to tax at a 12.5% tax rate and our non-operating entities are subject to tax at a 25% tax rate, while our foreign subsidiaries in the United States and the United Kingdom are subject to tax rates of approximately 39% and 20%, respectively. Second, as a result of our global business model, we engage in a significant number of cross-border intercompany transactions. As a result of these transactions, we have recorded reserves for uncertain tax positions related to how the different jurisdictions may conclude on the tax treatment of the transaction and how we might settle those exposures. There is no guarantee that how one jurisdiction might view a particular transaction will be respected by another jurisdiction. Additionally, there may be instances where our income is subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our unaudited interim financial statements and other financial information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as presented herein and in Item 1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, reflects no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates as set forth in Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operationsincluded in the Annual Report.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

Subscription Revenue

 

     Three Months Ended March 31,         
     2015      2014      % Change  
     (Dollars in thousands)         

Subscription revenue

   $ 65,471       $ 51,897         26.2

Subscription revenue increased by $13.6 million, or 26.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. This revenue growth was primarily driven by the increase in the average number of vehicles under subscription, which grew by approximately 25.8% from the three months ended March 31, 2014 to the three months ended March 31, 2015. As of the period-ends, the number of vehicles under subscription increased from approximately 472,000 as of March 31, 2014 to approximately 594,000 (including the units acquired from Ornicar) as of March 31, 2015. The increase in vehicles under subscription was due in large part to our investment in sales and marketing of our solutions, including the addition of 97 sales and marketing personnel from period-end to period-end. Our average selling prices generally remained stable, while volume increased in the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Cost of Subscription Revenue

     (Dollars in thousands)         

Cost of subscription revenue

   $ 17,185       $ 12,746         34.8

Cost of subscription revenue increased by $4.4 million, or 34.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in variable expenses resulting from an increase in the average number of vehicles under subscription, which grew approximately 25.8% period-end to period-end (including the impact of the units acquired from Ornicar). Communications, third-party data and hosting costs increased by $0.8 million due to the increase in the number of installed in-vehicle devices, comprised of an increase of $0.4 million in data communications and hosting costs and $0.4 million in third-party data subscription fees for our software applications. Field service costs for maintenance and repair of installed in-vehicle devices increased by $0.7 million primarily due to the increase in number of vehicles under subscription. Depreciation and amortization of installed in-vehicle devices increased by $1.9 million primarily due to the increase in the number of vehicles under subscription as well as additional costs incurred due to the migration of some of our customers from 2G to 3G networks. Payroll and related expenses increased by $0.6 million primarily due to an increase of 82 employees in our customer support and configuration groups. Facilities expense increased by $0.1 million as a result of increased office space requirements for our additional employees. Amortization of internal-use software increased by $0.3 million as a result of increased capitalized costs period-over-period related to our internal-use software applications accessed by our customers through our website.

As a percentage of subscription revenue, our cost of subscription revenue increased from 24.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2014 to 26.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2015. We continue to negotiate improved pricing for our subscriber-based costs, such as the cost of in-vehicle devices, data communication charges and third-party data subscription fees, including those for mapping and posted speed limit data and have achieved improved economies of scale from our hosting activities and configuration personnel as these components of our costs result in minimal incremental cost per vehicle under subscription. The economies of scale achieved through this improved pricing is offset by increased depreciation and amortization of installed in-vehicle devices primarily due to the increase in the number of vehicles under subscription as well as additional costs incurred due to the migration of some of our customers from 2G to 3G networks.

Sales and Marketing Expense

     (Dollars in thousands)         

Sales and marketing expense

   $ 23,269       $ 18,362         26.7

Sales and marketing expense increased $4.9 million, or 26.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase was primarily due to our investment in building brand and category awareness in our market to drive customer adoption of our solutions, the expansion of our sales and marketing efforts into international markets, and the build out of dedicated sales teams to support the Fleetmatics WORK application. We incurred increased payroll-related costs of $3.9 million, inclusive of commissions and share-based compensation, primarily related to the expansion of our sales and marketing teams. These increases were the result of an increase of 97 sales and marketing personnel from period-end to period-end. Those 97 new employees were added to further pursue the continued sales growth strategy of our business. We also increased the number of our marketing personnel to focus on lead generation, brand awareness and search engine optimization. Advertising and promotional expenditures increased by $0.6 million due to additional marketing and advertising efforts. Facilities expense increased by $0.5 million as a result of additional office space requirements related to our additional hiring efforts. These increases were partially offset by decreased amortization expense of $0.1 million related to customer relationships and trademarks acquired in the SageQuest acquisition. Customer relationships, trademarks and acquired developed technology are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to nine years, based on the pattern over which the Company expects to consume the economic benefit of each asset which in general reflects the expected cash flows from each asset.

As a percentage of subscription revenue, sales and marketing expense increased from 35.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2014 to 35.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2015. This increase was primarily due to the increases period-over-period related to the increases in payroll and related expenses and advertising and promotional expenditures period-over-period as noted above. Other cost increases in sales and marketing expense were in line with the percentage growth in subscription revenue period-over-period.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense

   $ 4,597       $ 4,177         10.1

Research and development expense increased $0.4 million, or 10.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to additional payroll-related costs of $0.6 million incurred related to an additional 40 employees hired, partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in consulting fees.

Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 of $4.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively, was recorded net after capitalization of $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of costs related to our internal-use software applications accessed by our customers through our website.

As a percentage of subscription revenue, research and development expense, net of capitalized costs related to our internal-use software applications, decreased from 8.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2014 to 7.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2015. This decrease was primarily due to the increase period-over-period in capitalized costs related to our internal-use software applications, partially offset by the increases in payroll-related expenses period-over-period as noted above.

General and administrative expense

   $ 11,685       $ 11,272         3.7

General and administrative expense increased $0.4 million, or 3.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.1 million in payroll-related costs, inclusive of share-based compensation, primarily the result of an increase of 20 general and administrative personnel period-over-period in order to support the growth in the business, as well as an increase of $0.3 million of office-related costs associated with our

additional employees. Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expense period-over-period was an increase of $0.2 million of audit and tax fees primarily due to the review of our internal controls over financial reporting. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in professional fees, which in the prior period included costs primarily related to legal fees associated with defending the class action complaint and the patent-infringement case and consulting fees associated with the implementation of certain functionality of our upgraded general ledger system, as well as a decrease of $0.3 million in bad debt expense.

As a percentage of subscription revenue, general and administrative expense decreased from 21.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2014 to 17.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily due to the 3.7% increase in expenses noted above being more than offset by the impact of the 26.2% growth in our subscription revenue period-over-period.

   $ (269    $ (163      65.0

Interest income (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased $0.1 million, or 65.0% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 and primarily reflects the interest expense incurred on our long-term debt as well as amortization expense of related debt discounts and deferred financing costs.

On January 21, 2015, Fleetmatics Group PLC and its subsidiaries Fleetmatics USA, LLC and Fleetmatics Development Limited, as borrowers (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, for a senior, first-priority secured financing comprised of revolving loans, letters of credit and swing line loans in a total maximum amount of $125.0 million (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility consists of a five-year multi-currency revolving credit facility in a dollar amount of up to $125.0 million which includes a sublimit of $5,000 for letters of credit and a $10,000 swing line facility. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature that will allow the Company to increase the Credit Facility to a total of $200.0 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. The Company used the net proceeds of borrowings under the Credit Facility to repay the $23.8 million outstanding under the Company’s previously existing revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Amended Revolving Credit Facility”), and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. At the Company’s election, loans made under the Credit Facility bear interest at either (1) a rate per annum equal to (a) the highest of the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, or 0.5% in excess of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or 2.0% in excess of one- month LIBOR (the “Base Rate”), plus an applicable margin, or (2) the one-, two-, three-, or six-month per annum LIBOR for deposits in U.S. dollars, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the revolving loans depends on the Company’s leverage ratio and varies from 0.5% to 1.25%, in the case of Base Rate loans, and from 1.50% to 2.25%, in the case of LIBOR loans. Swing line loans bear interest at the Base Rate. Commitment fees on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility (excluding swing line loans) are payable at rates per annum ranging from 0.2% to 0.3%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Credit Facility contains certain customary financial, affirmative and negative covenants including a maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio and negative covenants that limit or restrict, among other things, dividends, secured indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, asset dispositions and sales, investments and acquisitions, liens and encumbrances, transactions with affiliates, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility may be repaid and, subject to customary terms and conditions, reborrowed at any time during and up to the maturity date. Any outstanding balance under the Credit Facility is due and payable no later than January 21, 2020. Interest income netted against interest expense was immaterial in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized $5.0 million in foreign currency transaction gains as compared to $48 thousand in foreign currency transaction losses for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Foreign currency transaction gain (loss), net primarily reflects the foreign currency transaction gains or losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on intercompany payables and receivables denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the legal entities in which the transactions are recorded. Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) arise from fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies in which we transact primarily the euro and British pound, and to a lesser extent the Australian dollar.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

In January 2015, we used the $23.8 million in net proceeds from the borrowings under the Credit Facility with Citibank, N.A. to pay in full the amounts due under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC. The repayment of the Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC debt was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million, which was primarily comprised of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes

   $ 1,577       $ 1,542         2.3

Our provision for income taxes consists primarily of taxes in Ireland, the United States and the United Kingdom. We are subject to tax in various jurisdictions that apply various statutory rates of tax to our income. Each of these jurisdictions has its own tax law, which is subject to interpretation on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. In Ireland, our operating entity is subject to tax at a 12.5% tax rate on its trading income and 25% on its non-trading income and our non-operating entities are subject to tax at a 25% or 0% tax rate, while our foreign subsidiaries in the United States and the United Kingdom are subject to tax rates of approximately 39% and 20%, respectively.

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 11.8% and 29.8%, respectively, on pre-tax income of $13.3 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for three months ended March 31, 2015 was lower than the statutory Irish rate of 12.5% primarily due to income being generated in a jurisdiction that has a lower tax rate than the statutory Irish rate and to the Irish research and development tax credit. The Company made a change to its organizational structure that impacted the jurisdictional mix of profits and was favorable to our income tax expense. The decrease associated with these items was partially offset due to the recording of uncertain tax positions including interest and penalties.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was higher than the statutory Irish rate of 12.5% primarily due to income being generated in jurisdictions that have a higher tax rate than the statutory Irish rate and to the recording of uncertain tax positions including interest and penalties. The increase associate with these items was partially offset by the Irish research and development tax credit. Our provision for income taxes may change from period to period based on non-recurring events, such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws including enacted statutory rates, as well as recurring factors, including changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates. As a result of our global business model and cross-border intercompany transactions, a change in uncertain tax positions or a change in statutory rates could have a significant effect on our overall effective tax rate.

charges of $9.7 million, and net uses of cash of $4.1 million provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Our non-cash charges primarily consisted of $10.1 million of depreciation and amortization expense, $4.5 million of share-based compensation expense, $0.5 million of provisions for accounts receivable allowances, $0.6 million for losses on disposal of property and equipment and other assets, $0.1 million for losses on extinguishment of debt, $5.0 million of unrealized foreign currency transaction gains, and $1.1 million in excess tax benefits from share-based awards. Net cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of a $1.4 million increase in deferred revenue, $1.5 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities, and $0.4 million increase in accrued income taxes, partially offset by a $4.4 million increase in accounts receivable from customers and $3.0 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets. The increase in deferred revenue was attributable to a greater number of customers prepaying for a portion of their subscription during the quarter. The increase in our accounts payable and accrued expenses resulted from our increased spending due to the growth of our business. The increase in our accrued taxes was due to net increases in our tax reserves. The increase in our accounts receivable was due to the increase in subscription revenue resulting from the increased number of vehicles under subscription, and to a lesser extent due to several annual customer invoices issued during the quarter. The increase in our prepaid expenses and other assets was due to increases in deferred commission payments and additional prepaid software licenses purchased during the quarter.

Operating activities provided $20.3 million of cash in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The cash flow provided by operating activities resulted primarily from our net income of $3.6 million, net non-cash charges of $11.2 million, and net cash of $5.5 million provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Our non-cash charges primarily consisted of $7.0 million of depreciation and amortization expense, $3.0 million of share-based compensation expense, $0.8 million of provisions for accounts receivable allowances, $0.1 million provision for deferred tax assets, $0.4 million for losses on disposal of property and equipment and other assets, and $0.1 million in excess tax benefits from share-based awards. Net cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of a $4.3 million increase in deferred revenue, $2.1 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities, a $0.9 million decrease in accounts receivable from customers, and a $0.3 million increase in accrued income taxes, partially offset by a $2.1 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets. The increase in deferred revenue was attributable to a greater number of customers in 2014 than in 2013 prepaying for a portion of their subscription. The increase in our accounts payable and accrued expenses resulted from our increased spending due to the growth of our business. The decrease in our accounts receivable was due to collection efforts in the first quarter of 2014 on certain customer billings which had been delayed due to a billing system conversion completed during the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in our accrued taxes was due to net increases in our prior-year tax reserves. The increase in our prepaid expenses and other assets was due to increases in deferred commissions and capitalized costs of in-vehicle devices owned by customers due to the growth in our business.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $17.9 million and $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of cash paid to acquire Ornicar of $7.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015, cash paid to purchase property and equipment of $9.1 million and $8.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as well as costs capitalized for internal-use software of $1.0 million and $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 consisted of payments of borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility of $23.8 million, payments of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards of $2.6 million, payments of our capital lease obligations of $0.2 million, and payments of notes payable of $0.2 million, partially offset by net proceeds from borrowings under our Credit Facility of $22.5 million, proceeds from the issuance of ordinary shares under stock option plans of $1.3 million and from excess tax benefits from share-based awards of $1.0 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted of payments of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards of $1.4 million, payments of our capital lease obligations of $0.2 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of ordinary shares under stock option plans of $0.8 million and from excess tax benefits from share-based awards of $0.1 million.

Indebtedness and Liquidity

We believe that our cash and borrowings available under our Amended Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.

On January 21, 2015, Fleetmatics Group PLC and its subsidiaries Fleetmatics USA, LLC and Fleetmatics Development Limited, as borrowers (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, for a senior, first-priority secured financing comprised of revolving loans, letters of credit and swing line loans in a total maximum amount of $125.0 million (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility consists of a five-year multi-currency revolving credit

facility in a dollar amount of up to $125.0 million which includes a sublimit of $5,000 for letters of credit and a $10,000 swing line facility. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the Credit Facility to a total of $200.0 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. The Company used the net proceeds of borrowings under the Credit Facility to repay the $23.8 million outstanding under the Company’s previously existing revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Amended Revolving Credit Facility”), and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility contains certain customary financial, affirmative and negative covenants including a maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio and negative covenants that limit or restrict, among other things, dividends, secured indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, asset dispositions and sales, investments and acquisitions, liens and encumbrances, transactions with affiliates, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility may be repaid and, subject to customary terms and conditions, reborrowed at any time during and up to the maturity date. Any outstanding balance under the Credit Facility is due and payable no later than January 21, 2020. As of March 31, 2015 the Company had outstanding borrowings of $23.8 million under the Credit Facility and was in compliance with all such covenants.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Prior to the issuance of the standard, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as an asset. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 addresses management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP. The standard requires either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). In April 2015, the FASB proposed deferring the effective date of the new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date. The FASB also proposed permitting early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2017. We are in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard issued in May 2014 will have on our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the ASU No. 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in interest rates and inflation. Portions of our revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the Australian dollar with respect to revenues, expenses and intercompany payables and receivables. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Foreign currency transaction exposure results primarily from intercompany transactions and transactions with customers or vendors denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the legal entity in which the transaction is recorded by us. Assets and liabilities arising from such transactions are translated into the legal entity’s functional currency using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Any gain or loss resulting from currency fluctuations is recorded on a separate line in our consolidated statements of operations. Net foreign currency transaction gains of $5.0 million were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Table of Contents

Foreign currency translation exposure results from the translation of the financial statements of our subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars for consolidated reporting purposes. The balance sheets of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates and their income statements are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate over the period. Resulting currency translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated balance sheets. Net foreign currency translation losses of $6.5 million were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, approximately 8.9% of our revenues and approximately 20.5% of our operating expenses were generated by subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar and therefore are subject to foreign currency translation exposure. In addition, 16.1% of our assets and 14.8% of our liabilities were subject to foreign currency translation exposure as of March 31, 2015 as compared to 10.2% of our assets and 10.9% of our liabilities as of December 31, 2014.

Currently, our largest foreign currency exposures are those with respect to the euro, the British pound, and the Australian dollar. Relative to foreign currency exposures existing at March 31, 2015, a 10% unfavorable movement in foreign currency exchange rates would expose us to losses in earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we estimated that a 10% unfavorable movement in foreign currency exchange rates would have decreased pre-tax income by $4.1 million. The estimates used assume that all currencies move in the same direction at the same time. The potential change noted above is based on a sensitivity analysis performed on our financial position as of March 31, 2015. We have experienced and we will continue to experience fluctuations in our net income (loss) as a result of revaluing our assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency of the entity that recorded the asset or liability. At this time, we do not hedge our foreign currency risk.

Interest Rate Fluctuation Risk

As we only hold cash, our cash balances are not subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates with respect to its Credit Facility which bears interest at variable rates (based on the Company’s discretion) plus an applicable margin based on certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2015, $23.8 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility with an interest rate of 1.85%. A one percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates would have impacted our future annual interest expense due under the debt by an aggregate of approximately $0.2 million.

Inflation Risk

We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company may receive notification alleging infringement of patent or other intellectual property rights. The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings, nor is the Company aware of any pending or threatened litigation, that, in its opinion, would have a material adverse effect on its business or its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows should such litigation be resolved unfavorably. The Company accrues contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.

On December 19, 2013, GPNE Corp. filed a complaint against the Company (GPNE Corp. v. Fleetmatics USA, LLC, Civil Action No. 13-2049) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging infringement of certain U.S. patents. The parties executed an agreement to settle the claims for an amount not material to the business of the Company and on April 15, 2015 GPNE filed a joint stipulation of dismissal. The Court dismissed the case with prejudice on April 16, 2015 and the case is now closed.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include forward-looking statements that involve risks or uncertainties.
