"We're pleased with our revenues returning to pre-pandemic levels and Product Sales growing significantly compared to the prior year period. We shipped 90 thousand devices in the quarter despite a challenging environment due to the continued global component shortage, which resulted in higher product costs impacting product margins. Demand for our products remains strong, and we enter Q3 with a robust pipeline of orders," said Marc Eisenberg, ORBCOMM's Chief Executive Officer. "We are still on track to close the transaction with GI Partners in the second half of 2021, pending receipt of the remaining regulatory approvals, which are proceeding as anticipated."

Financial Results

Revenues

Total Revenues for the second quarter of 2021 were $65.9 million compared to $56.7 million in the prior year period. 

Service Revenues were $37.5 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $38.4 million in the same period last year. Recurring Service Revenues were $36.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $37.0 million in the prior year period. Other Service Revenues, comprised of installation services, professional services, and software licenses, were $1.2 million in the quarter. The Company added over 60,000 net billable subscribers in the second quarter bringing the total billable subscriber communicators to approximately 2.34 million as of June 30, 2021. We expect Service Revenues to recover and trend higher based on the increasing levels of hardware shipments and subsequent subscriber growth.

Product Sales were $28.4 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 55.1% compared to the prior year period and up 9.4% sequentially from the first quarter of 2021 as hardware shipments to customers continued to improve.

Gross Margin ⁽¹⁾

GAAP Service Gross Margin, inclusive of depreciation and amortization expense, was 55.6% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 56.4% in the prior year period. Non-GAAP Service Gross Margin, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, was 66.0% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 67.3% in the prior year period. The year-over-year decline was primarily due to $0.9 million of non-recurring low margin installation service revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $0.2 million of installation service revenue in the prior year period.

GAAP Product Gross Margin, inclusive of depreciation and amortization expense, was 19.3% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 25.0% in the prior year period. Non-GAAP Product Gross Margin, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, was 20.6% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 27.8% in the same period last year. The year-over-year decline was largely due to higher component costs as a result of the global electronic component supply shortage and higher shipping costs, and to a lesser extent a mix of lower margin Product sales. We expect this component shortage pressure to ease over the upcoming quarters and product margins to return to normalized levels.

Operating Expenses

Operating Expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were $35.3 million compared to $32.8 million for the same period in 2020. The $2.5 million year-over-year increase was primarily due to Acquisition-related costs of $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to $0.1 million in the prior year period. Excluding the Acquisition-related costs, operating expenses improved $0.1 million compared to the prior year period.

Net Income (Loss) and Earnings Per Share ⁽¹⁾

Net Loss Attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders for the second quarter of 2021 was $7.7 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to a Net Loss Attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders of $6.7 million, or $0.09 per share in the second quarter of 2020. Excluding the Acquisition-related costs, Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders for the second quarter of 2021 was $5.0 million, or $0.06 per share.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA ⁽¹⁾

EBITDA for the second quarter of 2021 was $6.9 million compared to $10.3 million in the prior year period. This was predominantly driven by Acquisition-related costs relating to the merger with GI Partners that were recorded in this year's quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2021 was $11.1 million compared to $11.9 million in the prior year period. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased to 16.8% in the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of 420 basis points over the prior year on a comparable basis driven largely by lower Product margins and a higher mix of Product revenues compared to Service revenues.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2021, Cash and Cash Equivalents totaled $29.6 million and Debt outstanding totaled $205.0 million, a $45.0 million decrease from June 30, 2020. Cash Flow from Operations for the first six months of 2021 totaled $16.6 million and Capital Expenditures were $12.6 million in the quarter, inclusive of $2.4 million associated with subscription model investments.

Proposed Merger Agreement

The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021 following the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals. The waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act expired at 11:59 p.m. EST on June 14, 2021. Various other regulatory approvals – including CFIUS approval, approval by the FCC and certain applicable foreign telecommunications regulatory entities, and approvals from applicable investment and national security regulatory entities in foreign jurisdictions – remain in process. These are proceeding as anticipated, and we continue to expect the remaining approvals to be granted sometime in the second half of 2021.   ORBCOMM's shareholders approved the merger on July 8, 2021. Additional information, including the definitive merger agreement filed and the proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the vote of ORBCOMM's shareholders, are available in the Investors section of the Company's website at http://investors.orbcomm.com.

ORBCOMM publicly 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes 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, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Service Gross Margin and Non-GAAP Product Gross Margin are not performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and are therefore considered non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation tables are presented above.

EBITDA is defined as earnings attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and loss on debt extinguishment. 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, 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 is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total Revenues.

Non-GAAP Service Gross Margin is defined as Non-GAAP Service gross profit divided by Service Revenues. Non-GAAP Service gross profit is defined as Service Revenues, minus cost of services (including depreciation and amortization expense) plus depreciation and amortization expense. Non-GAAP Product Gross Margin is defined as Non-GAAP Product gross profit divided by Product Sales. Non-GAAP Product gross profit is defined as Product Sales, minus cost of product sales (including depreciation and amortization expense) plus depreciation and amortization expense. The Company believes that Non-GAAP Service Gross Margin and Non-GAAP Product Gross Margin are useful to evaluate and compare the results of the Company's operations from period to period on a consistent basis by removing the depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments from its operating results.

Adjusted Net Loss attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders is defined as Net Loss Attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders, excluding Impairment loss – satellite network. Adjusted Basic EPS is defined as Basic EPS excluding Impairment loss – satellite network. Adjusted Net Loss attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders and Adjusted Basic EPS 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.
