Software and Subscription Services revenue increases 13% year-over-year to $40 million, representing 61% of total revenue
Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) increase 57% year-over-year and 7% sequentially to $215 million
IRVINE, Calif., June 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a connected intelligence company helping people and organizations improve operational performance with a data-driven solutions ecosystem, today reported financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2023 ended May 31, 2022.
“We have successfully converted more than one-third of our total installed base of eligible telematics customers to recurring software contracts through the end of our fiscal 2023 first quarter,” said Jeff Gardner, CalAmp’s president and CEO. “Software and Subscription Services revenue exceeded 60% of total revenue for the second consecutive quarter, underscoring our continued progress on converting customers to a software subscription model. We also received new orders from BMW and Volkswagen Leasing, while securing some unique new customers worldwide such as Brigham Young University and Grupo Salinas. Although our revenue continues to be impacted by the supply chain constraints, including the China-related lockdowns during the quarter, we remain focused on accelerating customer transitions toward our goal of converting all eligible device customers to recurring contracts by the end of our fiscal year.”
First Quarter Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Overview
- Total revenue was $64.7 million, compared to $68.4 million in the prior quarter.
- Software and Subscription Services (S&SS) revenue was $39.6 million, or 61% of total revenue, compared to $41.2 million in the prior quarter and $35.0 million in the same quarter a year ago.
- Telematics Products revenue declined sequentially and year over year to $25.2 million due mainly to customer conversions to recurring software subscription arrangements and ongoing component shortages.

- GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $12.2 million, or a loss of $0.34 per share.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $1.9 million, or 3% of revenue for the quarter compared to adjusted EBITDA of $5.0 million, or 7% of revenue in the prior quarter, due to the lower revenue and higher product costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
“GAAP” refers to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This announcement includes non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G promulgated by the SEC. We believe that our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
In this announcement, we report the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted basis net income (loss), Adjusted basis net income (loss) per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before investment income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration expenses, non-cash costs and expenses arising from purchase accounting adjustments, litigation and legal expenses, impairment losses and certain other adjustments as detailed in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliation), and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted basis net income (loss) excludes the impact of intangible asset amortization expense, stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense, acquisition and integration expenses, non-cash costs and expenses arising from purchase accounting adjustments, litigation and legal expenses, income tax provision adjustments, impairment losses and certain other adjustments as shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation provided in the table at the end of this announcement. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with additional information about our financial performance and future prospects of our core business activities. Internally, these non-GAAP measures are significant measures used by management for purposes of evaluating our core operating performance, establishing internal budgets, calculating return on investment for development programs and growth initiatives, comparing performance with internal forecasts and targeted business models, strategic planning, evaluating and valuing potential acquisition candidates and how their operations compare to our operations, and benchmarking performance externally against our competitors. We believe this non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into our ongoing performance and have therefore chosen to provide this information to investors to help them evaluate our results of ongoing operations and enable additional period-to-period comparisons. The presentation of these and other similar items in our non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual.
