WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Aug. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Powerfleet, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIOT) reported its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2025.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"Q1 marked a strong start to FY26 as we delivered profitable growth ahead of expectations, anchored by a standout 6% sequential increase in services revenue," said Steve Towe, Chief Executive Officer of Powerfleet.

"Our AI Video annual recurring revenue (ARR) bookings grew 52% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting robust market demand, particularly through our major indirect channel partners." Towe continued. "We also achieved a 14% sequential increase in new logo wins, alongside six-figure ARR deals across 11 diverse industry sectors - clear indicators that our growth engine is scaling efficiently across verticals."

"In parallel, we're driving structural improvements across the business," he added. "This quarter, services revenue represented a record 83% of total revenue, highlighting our shift to higher-quality SaaS revenue. We accomplished this while successfully navigating tariff headwinds, accelerating supply chain efficiencies, and executing decisively on our adjusted EBITDA expansion initiatives.

First Quarter Financial Highlights

Total revenue for the first quarter increased 38% year-over-year to $104.1 million, benefiting from the Fleet Complete acquisition and organic growth in recurring services.

Services revenue was particularly strong, rising 53% year-over-year and 6% sequentially to $86.5 million. Services revenue accounted for 83% of total revenue, up from 75% in the prior year and 79% in the prior quarter, underscoring the continued shift toward high-quality, recurring revenue streams.

The improved revenue mix, combined with strong and stable service adjusted EBITDA gross margins of 75%, contributed to meaningful margin expansion. Adjusted EBITDA gross margin increased 300 basis points year-over-year to 67%, up from 64% in the same period last year.

Total operating expenses were $58.5 million in the quarter, which included $4.2 million in one-time transaction and restructuring costs. Excluding these items, adjusted operating expenses totaled $54.3 million.

On an adjusted EBITDA basis, general and administrative expense represented 26% of revenue, a 400 basis point improvement from the prior year, reflecting continued progress from the Company's EBITDA expansion program. Sales and marketing expenses increased to 17% of revenue, up 500 basis points year-over-year, in line with planned reinvestments to drive growth. Research and development expense was 5% of total revenue up from 4% in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 58% to $21.6 million, up from $13.7 million in the prior year, reflecting contributions from the Fleet Complete acquisition, organic growth, gross margin expansion and cost synergies net of planned reinvestment in sales and marketing. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $0.08 per share, compared to $0.21 per share in the prior year, reflecting improved financial performance and an increase in shares outstanding. After adjusting for one-time expenses and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, adjusted net income per share was $0.01 compared with $0.00 in the prior year.

Adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 2.97x, an improvement from the 3.22x at the end of fiscal year 2025. Net debt at quarter end was $234.8 million, consisting of $35.6 million in cash and $270.4 million total debt.

FULL-YEAR 2026 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

The company is increasing its financial guidance for revenue, with revenue now expected to be in the range of $430 million to $440million versus the prior guidance of approximately $420 million to $440 million.

The company is maintaining its annual guidance for:

Annual adjusted EBITDA, with annual growth of 45% to 55%
Adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio which is expected to improve from 3.2x as of March 31, 2025, to below 2.25x by March 31, 2026

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 adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA gross margin, adjusted EBITDA gross profit, adjusted EBITDA service margin, adjusted product margin, adjusted EBITDA operating expenses, adjusted net income per share and net debt. 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 and fluctuations in currency rates 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 alternative to net income, gross margin, gross profit, total debt, cash flow from operating activities or earnings per share 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 most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in the financial tables included in this press release.
