WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., March 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Powerfleet, Inc. (Nasdaq: PWFL), a global leader of Internet of Things (IoT) software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions that optimize the performance of mobile assets and resources to unify business operations, reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

Following the appointment of CEO Steve Towe in January 2022, the executive team and board of directors conducted an exhaustive 120-day review of Powerfleet’s business, product offerings, geographic markets, target customers, go-to market strategy and business model. The process culminated in a new roadmap to guide the company’s growth, focus areas, and day-to-day operations. The leadership team’s execution on the strategic plan is in the process of transforming Powerfleet into a world class, high growth, and profitable SaaS solutions provider.

2022 AND RECENT OPERATIONAL MILESTONES

  • Complete rebuild of executive and broader leadership team with a proven track record of delivering outsized results to stakeholders.
  • Implemented new growth strategy, which has produced tangible financial results and positioned the company for greater financial success in 2023 and beyond.
  • Repositioned to a SaaS solutions platform company and elevated the company’s value proposition with customers to offer more extensive business insights and solutions to transform their businesses. Initial success was demonstrated by the increase in high-margin services revenue, which was up 8% on a GAAP basis and 11% on a constant currency basis in 2022.
  • Completed phase one of the company’s optimization plan that removed $5 million of costs, which management has partially reallocated the cost-savings towards sales and marketing efforts within the company’s new cost envelope. In March 2023, launched phase two of the optimization plan, which, when completed, is expected to reduce operating expenses by an additional $3 million annually.
  • Launched Unity, a new game-changing fleet intelligence platform that unites people, assets, and data together to transform the way its customers do business. Unity’s go-to-market traction is ahead of schedule, highlighted by new customer engagements with Kearney and FEMSA.
  • Today announced the acquisition of Movingdots, a leading insurance telematics and sustainable mobility solutions provider, expanding Powerfleet’s global reach and total addressable market. The acquisition is scheduled to close by the end of Q1 2023.

SECOND HALF 2022 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (COMPARED TO FIRST HALF 2022)

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“The fourth quarter marked a solid finish to a pivotal year as we continued to lay the groundwork for future growth, profitability, and expansion,” said Steve Towe, CEO at Powerfleet. “We are incredibly proud of the progress the team has made on the journey of transforming Powerfleet towards our mid- to long-term goal of being recognized as a world class, high growth, and profitable SaaS solutions provider.

“Even with the dramatic business transformation efforts and fundamental operational business change in 2022, we delivered 7% topline revenue growth (10% on a constant currency basis), 8% growth in high-margin services revenue (11% on a constant currency basis) and grew our subscriber base by 8%. From a profitability perspective, we improved gross profit by $4 million, reduced loss from operations by 65% from Q4 2021 to Q4 2022, decreased GAAP loss by $6.3 million, and grew adjusted EBITDA by 19% in 2022. These encouraging financial results were also achieved in the face of the ongoing macro-economic pressures and significant supply chain headwinds.”

Powerfleet CFO David Wilson commented: “During Q4, we initiated phase two of our business rationalization efforts designed to further enhance margins, reduce costs, and increase profitability. Our refined growth strategy produced double-digit growth in our key regions in Q4, including a 20% year-over-year increase in U.S. Industrial segment revenue and a 37% year-over-year revenue increase in Mexico. Overall, our topline results in Q4 reflect the decisive actions we took in the period to de-emphasize underperforming product lines and territories and terminate unprofitable contracts worth an estimated $2.5 million in the quarter. In parallel, our tight cash management produced the highest cash collections quarter in our history, which brought our cash position at year end to nearly $18 million.

“The opportunity ahead for our business is compelling. As we wrap up the first quarter of 2023, we are executing on our pipeline growth activities, delivering on our customer promises, and tracking ahead of plan. Despite the expected revenue reduction related to our ongoing strategic rationalization efforts, we anticipate generating sequential revenue growth in Q1, driven by robust double-digit growth from our U.S. industrial solutions, a trend we expect to continue through 2023.”

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement its financial statements presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Powerfleet provides certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and services revenue excluding foreign exchange effect. Reference to these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared under current accounting standards, but are not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of Powerfleet’s current financial performance. Specifically, Powerfleet believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of its core operating results and business outlook. These non-GAAP measures are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as an alternate to net income or cash flow from operating activities as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity. Because Powerfleet’s method for calculating the non-GAAP measures may differ from other companies’ methods, the non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliation of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release to the nearest GAAP measures can be found in the financial tables included in this press release.

CONSTANT CURRENCY
Constant currency information has been presented to illustrate the impact of changes in currency rates on the Company’s results. The constant currency information has been determined by adjusting the current financial reporting period results to the prior period average exchange rates, determined as the average of the monthly exchange rates applicable to the period. The measurement has been performed for each of the Company’s currencies. The constant currency growth percentage has been calculated by utilizing the constant currency results compared to the prior period results.

The constant currency information represents non-GAAP information. The Company believes this provides a useful basis to measure the performance of its business as it removes distortion from the effects of foreign currency movements during the period.

Due to a portion of the Company’s customers who are invoiced in non-U.S. Dollar denominated currencies, the Company also calculates subscription revenue growth rate on a constant currency basis, thereby removing the effect of currency fluctuation on results of operations.
