1. Organization and Business

ORBCOMM Inc. (“ORBCOMM” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a global provider of industrial Internet of Things (“IoT”) solutions, including network connectivity, devices, device management and web reporting applications. The Company’s industrial IoT products and services are designed to track, monitor, control and enhance security for a variety of assets, such as trailers, trucks, rail cars, sea containers, power generators, fluid tanks, marine vessels, diesel or electric powered generators (“gensets”), oil and gas wells, pipeline monitoring equipment, irrigation control systems and utility meters, in industries for transportation & supply chain, heavy equipment, fixed asset monitoring, maritime and government. Additionally, the Company provides satellite Automatic Identification Service (“AIS”) data services to assist in vessel navigation and to improve maritime safety for government and commercial customers worldwide. Through two acquisitions in 2017, the Company added to its transportation product portfolio vehicle fleet management, as well as in-cab and fleet vehicle solutions. The Company provides its services using multiple network platforms, including a constellation of low-Earth orbit (“LEO”) satellites and accompanying ground infrastructure, as well as terrestrial-based cellular communication services obtained through reseller agreements with major cellular (Tier One) wireless providers. The Company also offers customer solutions utilizing additional satellite network service options that the Company obtains through service agreements entered into with multiple mobile satellite providers. The Company’s satellite-based customer solution offerings use small, low power, mobile satellite subscriber communicators for remote asset connectivity, and the Company’s terrestrial-based solutions utilize cellular data modems with subscriber identity modules (“SIMs”). The Company also resells service using the two-way Inmarsat satellite network to provide higher bandwidth, low-latency satellite products and services, leveraging the Company’s IsatDataPro (“IDP”) technology.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, and investments in variable interest entities in which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The portions of majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company does not own are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Investments

Investments in entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not have a controlling interest are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company considers several factors in determining whether it has the ability to exercise significant influence with respect to investments, including, but not limited to, direct and indirect ownership level in the voting securities, active participation on the board of directors, approval of operating and budgeting decisions and other participatory and protective rights. Under the equity method, the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of such investee is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations. When the Company does not exercise significant influence over the investee, the investment is accounted for under the cost method.

Although the Company owns interests in companies that it accounts for pursuant to the equity method, the investments in those entities had no carrying value as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company has no guarantees or other funding obligations to those entities. The Company had no equity in or losses of those investees for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Acquisition-related and Integration Costs

Acquisition-related and integration costs are expensed as incurred and are presented separately on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. These costs may include professional services expenses and identifiable integration costs directly attributable to acquisitions.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). The Company reviewed its contract portfolio and determined its application of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the comparability of revenue recognition prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-09.

The Company derives recurring service revenues mostly from monthly fees for industrial IoT connectivity services that consist of subscriber-based and recurring monthly usage fees for each subscriber communicator or SIM activated for use on its satellite network and the other satellite networks and cellular wireless networks that the Company resells to its resellers, Market Channel Partners (“MCPs”) and Market Channel Affiliates (“MCAs”), and direct customers. In addition, the Company provides recurring AIS data services for government and commercial customers worldwide. The Company also earns recurring service revenues from activations of subscriber communicators and SIMs, optional separately priced extended warranty service agreements extending beyond the initial warranty period, typically one year, which are billed to the customer upon shipment of a subscriber communicator, and royalty fees relating to the manufacture of subscriber communicators under a manufacturing agreement.

Service revenue derived from usage fees are generally based upon the data transmitted by a customer, the overall number of subscriber communicators and/or SIMs activated by each customer, and whether the Company provides services through its value-added portal. Using the output method, these service revenues are recognized over time, as services are rendered, or at a point in time, based on the contract terms. AIS service revenues are generated over time from monthly subscription based services supplying AIS data to its customers and resellers using the output method. Revenues from the activation of both subscriber communicators and SIMs are initially recorded as deferred revenues and are, thereafter, recognized on a ratable basis using a time-based output method, generally over three years, which is the estimated life of the subscriber communicator. Revenues from separately priced extended warranty service agreements extending beyond the initial warranty period of one year are initially recorded as deferred revenues and are, thereafter, recognized on a ratable basis using a time-based output method, generally over two to five years. Revenues generated from royalties relating to the manufacture of subscriber communicators by third parties are recognized at a point in time when the third party notifies the Company of the units it has manufactured and a unique serial number is assigned to each unit by the Company.

The Company earns other service revenues from installation services and fees from providing engineering, technical and management support services to customers. Revenues generated from installation services are recognized at a point in time using the output method when the services are completed. Revenues generated from providing engineering, technical and management support services to customers are recognized over time as the service is provided. The Company also generates other service revenues through the sale of software licenses to its customers, which is recognized at a point in time using the output method when the license is provided to the customer.

Product revenues are derived from sales of complete industrial IoT telematics devices, modems or cellular wireless SIMs (for the Company’s terrestrial-communication services) to the Company’s resellers (i.e., MCPs and MCAs) and direct customers. Product revenue is recognized at a point in time when title transfers, when the products are shipped or when customers accept the products, depending on the specific contractual terms. Sales of subscriber communicators and SIMs are not subject to return and title and risk of loss pass to the customer generally at the time of shipment.

Amounts received prior to the performance of services under customer contracts are recognized as deferred revenues and revenue recognition is deferred until such time that all revenue recognition criteria have been met. Deferred revenues as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 consisted of the following:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized revenue of $2,580 which was included as deferred revenue as of December 31, 2017.

Shipping costs billed to customers are included in product sales revenues and the related costs are included as costs of product sales.

The Company generates revenue from leasing arrangements of subscriber communicators, under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 840 (“ASC 840”) “Leases”, using the estimated selling prices for each of the deliverables recognized.  Product and installation revenues associated with these arrangements are recognized upon shipment or installation of the subscriber communicator, depending on the specific contractual terms. Service and warranty revenues are recognized on an accrual basis, as services are rendered, or on a cash basis, if collection from the customer is not reasonably assured at the time the service is provided.

The following table summarizes the components of revenue from contracts with customers, as well as revenue recognized under ASC 840:

The Company enters into contracts with its customers that include multiple performance obligations, which typically include subscriber communicators, monthly usage fees and optional extended warranty service agreements. The Company evaluates each item to determine whether it represents a promise to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and therefore is a separate performance obligation under ASU 2014-09.  If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company uses an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations or a cost plus margin approach when one is not available.

If an arrangement provided to a customer has a significant and incremental discount on future revenue, such right is considered a performance obligation and a proportionate amount of the discount should be allocated to each element based on the relative standalone selling price of each element, regardless of the discount. The Company has determined that arrangements provided to our customers do not include significant and incremental discounts.

The Company has elected not to disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations since any of these obligations would have an original expected length of one year or less.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has no financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur the Company is required to evaluate the non-financial assets for impairment and any resulting asset impairment would require that a non-financial asset be recorded at the fair value. FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement Disclosure” prioritizes inputs used in measuring fair value into a hierarchy of three levels: Level 1- unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets; Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. As of March 31, 2018, the carrying amount and the fair value of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes (described in “Note 10 – Note Payable”) were $250,000 and $259,375, respectively. The fair values of the Senior Secured Notes are based on observable relevant market information. Fluctuations between the carrying amounts and the fair values of the Senior Secured Notes for the period presented are associated with changes in market interest rates. The Company may redeem all or part of the Senior Secured Notes at any time or from time to time at its option at specified redemption prices that would include “make-whole” premiums. Refer to “Note 10 – Note Payable” for more information. The fair value of the $1,400 book value Note payable - related party is de minimus.

Concentration of Risk

The Company’s customers are primarily commercial organizations. Accounts receivable are generally unsecured.

Accounts receivable are due in accordance with payment terms included in contracts negotiated with customers. Amounts due from customers are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts are past-due, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations to the Company and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they are deemed uncollectible.

 

There were no customers with revenues greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.  

 

There were no customers with accounts receivable greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.  

As of March 31, 2018, the Company did not maintain in-orbit insurance coverage for its ORBCOMM Generation 1 (“OG1”) or ORBCOMM Generation 2 (“OG2”) satellites to address the risk of potential systemic anomalies, failures or catastrophic events affecting its satellite constellation.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, inventory consisted primarily of finished goods and purchased parts to be utilized by its contract manufacturer totaling $41,783 and $34,465, respectively, and $6,467 and $7,972, respectively, of raw materials, net of inventory obsolescence. The Company reviews inventory quantities on hand and evaluates the realizability of inventories and adjusts the carrying value as necessary based on forecasted product demand. A provision, recorded in cost of product on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, is made for potential losses on slow moving and obsolete inventories when identified.

Valuation of Long-lived Assets

Property and equipment and other long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company measures recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the projected cash flows the assets are expected to generate. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that carrying value exceeds fair value.

The Company’s satellite constellation and related assets are evaluated as a single asset group whenever facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment are identified, recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing their carrying amount to the projected cash flows the assets are expected to generate.

11


 

Determining whether an impairment has occurred typically requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including the allocation of cash flows to assets or asset groups and, if required, an estimate of fair value for those assets or asset groups.

If a satellite were to fail while in-orbit, the resulting loss would be charged to expense in the period it is determined that the satellite is not recoverable. Refer to “Note 6 – Satellite Network and Other Equipment” for more information.

Warranty Costs

The Company accrues for warranty coverage on product sales estimated at the time of sale based on historical costs to repair or replace products for customers compared to historical product revenues. The warranty accrual is included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Separately priced extended warranty coverage is recorded as warranty revenue over the term of the extended warranty coverage and the related warranty costs during the coverage period are recorded as incurred.

Warranty coverage that includes additional services such as repairs and maintenance of the product are treated as a separate deliverable and the related warranty and repairs/maintenance costs are recorded as incurred.

Refer to “Note 8 – Accrued Liabilities” for more information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”) and is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2016-18 requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Entities will also be required to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance sheet and disclose the nature of the restrictions. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 and expects the retrospective application to impact its classification of certain restricted cash activity in its statement of cash flows in future interim filings.

 

 

3. Acquisitions

Blue Tree Systems Limited

On October 2, 2017, pursuant to a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) entered into by ORBCOMM Technology Ireland Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Blue Tree Systems Investment Limited, Investec Ventures Ireland Limited and certain individual sellers (collectively, the “Sellers”), the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of Blue Tree Systems Limited, for an aggregate consideration of (i) $34,331 in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment; (ii) issuance of 191,022 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $10.47 per share, which reflected the Company’s common stock closing price one business day prior to the closing date; and (iii) additional consideration up to $5,750 based on Blue Tree Systems Limited achieving certain operational objections, payable in stock or a combination of cash and stock at the Company’s election (the “Blue Tree Acquisition”).

Preliminary Estimated Purchase Price Allocation

The Blue Tree Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date (the “Acquisition Method”). The excess of the preliminary purchase price over the preliminary net assets was recorded as goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation and the estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the one year measurement period.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment related to certain working capital accounts, which resulted in a decrease in goodwill of $393. The total consideration for the Blue Tree Acquisition was $37,107, of which $776 represents acquisition date contingent consideration at fair value, in a debt free, cash free transaction. The preliminary estimated purchase price allocation for the acquisition is as follows:

Intangible Assets

The estimated fair value of the technology and trademark intangible assets was determined using the “relief from royalty method” under the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on the costs savings that are available through ownership of the asset by the avoidance of paying royalties to license the use of the assets from another owner (the “Technology and Trademark Valuation Technique”). The estimated fair value of the customer lists was determined using the “excess earnings method” under the income approach, which represents the total income to be generated by the asset (the “Customer List Valuation Technique”). Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include the projected revenue associated with the asset, the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, as well as other factors. The discount rate used to arrive at the present value at the acquisition date of the customer lists and technology was 26.5%. The remaining useful lives of the technology and trademarks were based on historical product development cycles, the projected rate of technology migration, a market participant’s use of these intangible assets and the pattern of projected economic benefit of these intangible assets. The remaining useful lives of customer lists were based on the customer attrition and the projected economic benefit of these customers.

Goodwill

The Blue Tree Acquisition solidified the Company’s transportation offering of fleet management and driver safety solutions to enterprises and industrial companies around the world, who operate large commercial vehicle fleets. These factors contributed to a preliminary estimated purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill. The goodwill attributable to the Blue Tree Acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

Indemnification Asset

In connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into an escrow agreement with the Sellers and an escrow agent. Under the terms of this escrow agreement, $3,675 was placed in an escrow account through April 2019 to fund any indemnification obligations to the Company under the Share Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the escrow agreement, as of any release date for any portion of the escrow amount, the value of any then submitted and unresolved indemnification claims shall be retained in the escrow amount until such time as the applicable claims are resolved.

Contingent Consideration

Additional consideration is conditionally due to the Sellers upon achievement of certain financial milestones through December 2018. The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligation is determined using Level 3 unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on the Company’s preliminary estimates using the probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company recorded $823 and $776, respectively, in non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in connection with the contingent consideration. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, an expense of $47 was recorded in SG&A in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for accretion associated with the contingent consideration.

inthinc Technology Solutions Inc.

On June 9, 2017, pursuant to the asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) entered into by the Company and, inthinc, Inc., inthinc Technology Solutions, Inc., tiwi, Inc., inthinc Telematics, Inc., DriveAware, Inc., inthinc Chile, SP, and inthinc Investors, L.P. (collectively, “inthinc”), the Company completed the acquisition of inthinc for an aggregate consideration of (i) $34,236 in cash, subject to net working capital adjustments, on a debt free, cash free basis; (ii) issuance of 76,796 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $9.95 per share, which reflected a 20 trading day average price of the Company’s stock ending June 8, 2017; and (iii) additional contingent consideration of up to $25,000 subject to certain operational milestones, payable in stock or a combination of cash and stock at the Company’s election (the “inthinc Acquisition”).

Preliminary Estimated Purchase Price Allocation

The inthinc Acquisition has been accounted for using the Acquisition Method. The excess of the preliminary purchase price over the preliminary net assets was recorded as goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation and the estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the one year measurement period.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment related to accrued expenses, which resulted in an increase in goodwill of $151. The total consideration for the inthinc Acquisition was $44,835, of which $9,835 represents acquisition date contingent consideration at fair value, in a debt free, cash free transaction. The preliminary estimated purchase price allocation for the acquisition is as follows:

The estimated fair value of the customer lists was determined using Customer List Valuation Technique. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include the projected revenue associated with the asset, the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, as well as other factors. The discount rate used to arrive at the present value at the acquisition date of the customer lists and technology was 12%. The remaining useful lives of the technology were based on historical product development cycles, the projected rate of technology migration and a market participant’s use of these intangible assets and the pattern of projected economic benefit of this intangible asset. The remaining useful lives of customer lists were based on the customer attrition and the projected economic benefit of these customers.

The inthinc Acquisition allows the Company to offer fleet management and driver safety solutions to enterprises and industrial companies around the world, who operate large commercial vehicle fleets. These factors contributed to a preliminary estimated purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill. The goodwill attributable to the inthinc Acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

Indemnification Asset

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into an escrow agreement with inthinc and an escrow agent. Under the terms of this escrow agreement, $500 was placed in an escrow account through September 9, 2019 to fund any indemnification obligations to the Company under the Asset Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the escrow agreement, as of any release date for any portion of the escrow amount, the value of any then submitted and unresolved indemnification claims shall be retained in the escrow amount until such time as the applicable claims are resolved.

Acquired Customer Product Liability

As a result of the inthinc Acquisition, the Company acquired customer product obligations on inthinc’s product sales. The Company’s analysis of the customer product liabilities are estimated based on the historical costs of inthinc to replace or fix products for customers, as well as installations costs associated with these obligations. As the Company continues to gather additional information, these accrual estimates may differ from actual results and adjustments to the estimated customer product liability would be required. The Company continues to evaluate customer product liabilities relating to the inthinc Acquisition throughout the measurement period. If the Company determines that adjustments to these amounts are required during the remainder of the measurement period, such amounts will be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill. On June 9, 2017, the Company had estimated additional product liabilities obligations of $1,032 relating to customer product obligations it was investigating associated with the inthinc Acquisition. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had a remaining liability of $832 in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in connection with this acquired product liabilities obligation.

Contingent Consideration

Additional consideration is conditionally due to the inthinc sellers upon achievement of certain financial milestones through June 2019. The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligation is determined using Level 3 unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on the Company’s preliminary estimates using the probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company recorded $7,758 and $9,313 in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in connection with the contingent consideration.  One financial milestone for this additional consideration is estimated to be met at a lower than previously estimated level, and therefore, the Company recorded a reduction of the contingent liability of $1,555 in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

 

 

4. Stock-based Compensation

The Company’s stock-based compensation plan consist of its 2016 Long Term Incentives Plan (the 2016 LTIP”). As of March 31, 2018, there were 4,342,847 shares available for grant under the 2016 LTIP.

Total stock-based compensation recorded by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $1,707 and $1,524, respectively. Total capitalized stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $159 and $131, respectively.
