Financial Results and Highlights

Revenues

For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016, Service Revenues were up 8% over the prior year period to $29.4 million. The increase in Service Revenues in Q4 this year was driven by both organic growth and our most recent acquisitions. Organic growth of 4% benefited from the OG2 satellite constellation as well as our growing subscriber base across multiple lines of business. For the full year 2016, Service Revenues were $112.9 million compared to $100.0 million in 2015, an increase of $12.9 million or 12.9%.

Product Sales during the fourth quarter of 2016 were $17.4 million compared to $17.9 million during the same period last year, decreasing ($0.5) million or 2.5%. Product Sales were lower largely due to the timing of deployments and delays in obtaining the required LTE product certifications, which resulted in a shift of about 10,000 units of backlog or $3-4 million to the first quarter of 2017. Product Sales for the full year 2016 were $73.9 million compared to $78.3 million in 2015, a decrease of ($4.5) million or 5.7%.

Total Revenues of $46.8 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016 were up $1.8 million or 4.1% compared to $45.0 million during the same period of 2015.  Total Revenues for the full year 2016 were $186.7 million compared to $178.3 million in 2015, an increase of 4.7%, led by double digit Service Revenue growth.

Cost of Revenues and Operating Expenses

Total Cost of Revenues and Operating Expenses for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $47.5 million compared to $42.6 million during the same period in 2015. Cost of Revenues, exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization, increased $1.0 million or 2.8% year-over-year largely due to higher Cost of products sold. For the quarter, Cost of services, excluding Depreciation and Amortization, increased 2.8% to $9.6 million and as a percentage of Service Revenues decreased to 32.6% or 170 basis points lower than the fourth quarter of 2015 improving Service margins this quarter to 67.4%.

Operating Expenses for the full year were higher primarily due to higher Depreciation and Amortization and non-labor related SG&A expenses. For the full year, Selling, general and administrative expense and Product development expenses increased 4.5% to $53.2 million.

Total Cost of Revenues and Operating Expenses for the full year 2016 were $201.2 million or 8.5% higher than last year’s $185.5 million. However, Total Cost of Revenues and Operating Expenses, exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization, decreased $0.5 million or 0.3% compared to last year, and as a percentage of Total Revenues declined to 84.8% from 89.1% last year.

Impairment Loss-satellite network

Fiscal 2016 results include an impairment charge of ($10.7) million to write-off the net book value of one of the in-orbit OG2 satellites as of September 30, 2016 that was launched in July 2014 where

communication was lost. The loss of this one satellite is not expected to have a material impact on network communications services or our financials going forward. The Company believes the loss of communication is likely specific to this one satellite.

Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes, Net Income (Loss), and Earnings Per Share

Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes for the fourth quarter of 2016 was a ($2.9) million loss, compared to the $1.2 million profit for the fourth quarter of 2015.  For the full year 2016, the Loss Before Income Taxes was ($22.7) million compared to a loss of ($11.8) million in 2015, reflecting higher Depreciation and Amortization of ($16.2) million in 2016, partially offset by a lower satellite impairment charge in 2016 of $2.1 million.

Net (Loss) Income attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders was ($3.2) million Net Loss for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to Net Income of $0.2 million for the same period in 2015.  Basic EPS was a loss of ($0.05) per share for the fourth quarter of 2016 versus $0.00 per share for the same period last year. Net (Loss) attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders was ($23.5) million for the full year 2016 compared to a loss of ($13.3) million in 2015.  Basic EPS was a loss of ($0.33) per share for the full year 2016 versus a loss of ($0.19) per share for 2015.

Net Income (Loss) – Ex-Items, attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders and Basic EPS – Ex-Items are non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company. Please see the financial tables at the end of the release for a reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) – Ex-Items, attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders and Basic EPS – Ex-Items.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $10.5 million compared to $9.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.  For the full year 2016, EBITDA was $28.5 million compared to $19.4 million in 2015, an increase of $9.1 million or 46.7%.

Adjusted EBITDA of $12.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 was 4.9% higher than last year’s $11.9 million in the fourth quarter.  Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Revenues for the quarter was 26.6% or 21 basis points better than last year’s fourth quarter. For the full year 2016, Adjusted EBITDA was $47.3 million compared to $42.3 million for 2015, an increase of $4.9 million or 11.7%. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total Revenues for the full year was 25.3% or 157 basis points better than last year.

At December 31, 2016, Cash and Cash Equivalents totaled $25.0 million, compared to $28.1 million at December 31, 2015 that included $1.0 million in Restricted Cash, decreasing ($3.1) million. The cash decline was partially offset by the $28.9 million of Cash generated by operations for 2016. Cash invested in Capital Expenditures was ($28.4) million, of which ($8.3) million was due to the completion of milestone and insurance payments for the OG2 program related to the final launch in late 2015 and includes ($1.6)

The following table reconciles our Net Income attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods shown:

ORBCOMM publically reports its financial information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). To facilitate external analysis of the Company’s operating performance, ORBCOMM also presents financial information that are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under Regulation G and related reporting requirements promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, Net Income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different than those presented by other companies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and are therefore considered non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation table is presented above.

EBITDA is defined as earnings attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. before interest income (expense), loss on debt extinguishment, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. ORBCOMM believes EBITDA is useful to its management and investors in evaluating operating performance because it is one of the primary measures used to evaluate the economic productivity of the Company’s operations, including its ability to obtain and maintain its customers, its ability to operate its business effectively, the efficiency of its employees and the profitability associated with their performance. It also helps ORBCOMM’s management and investors to meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of the Company’s operations from period to period on a consistent basis by removing the impact of its financing transactions and the depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments from its operating results. In addition, ORBCOMM management uses EBITDA in presentations to its board of directors to enable it to have the same measurement of operating performance used by management and for planning purposes, including the preparation of the annual operating budget.

The Company also believes that Adjusted EBITDA, defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, noncontrolling interests, impairment loss, non-capitalized satellite launch and in-orbit insurance, insurance recovery, and acquisition-related and integration costs, is useful to investors to evaluate the Company’s core operating results and financial performance because it excludes items that are significant non-cash or non-recurring expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Adjusted EBITDA Margin equals Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total Revenues.  

The following table reconciles our Net Income (Loss) attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders to Net Income (Loss) – Ex-Items, attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders and Basic EPS to Basic EPS – Ex-Items for the periods shown:

Net Income (Loss) – Ex-Items attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders is defined as Net Income (Loss) attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders, excluding Impairment Loss-satellite network, and Acquisition-related and integration costs.  Basic EPS – Ex-Items is defined as Basic EPS excluding Impairment Loss-satellite network, and Acquisition-related and integration costs.  Net Income (Loss) – Ex-Items attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders and Basic EPS – Ex-Items are non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company.  These non-GAAP financial measures are used as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.  These non-GAAP measures are presented in this press release as management believes that they will provide investors with a means of evaluating, and an understanding of how management evaluates, the Company’s performance and results on a comparable basis that is not otherwise apparent on a GAAP basis, since many non-recurring, infrequent or non-cash items that management believes are not indicative of the core performance of the business may not be excluded when preparing financial measures under GAAP.  These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, or may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other companies.  A reconciliation table is presented above.
