Company Meets Guidance and Reports Significant Progress on Customers, Technology, and Operations

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 2017-- Inseego Corp. (Nasdaq: INSG) (the “Company”), a leading global provider of mobile broadband hardware and software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) solutions for the Internet of Things (“IoT”), today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017. The Company reports third quarter revenues of $57.5 million, GAAP net loss of $13.8 million or a loss of $0.23 per share, non-GAAP net loss of $3.1 million or a loss of $0.05 per share, and adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 million. Non-GAAP operating expenses have been reduced by $21.4 million on an annualized basis since the first quarter 2017. Ctrack revenues were $15.2 million, non-GAAP gross margin was 68.3%, and adjusted EBITDA was $2.7 million. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period, including restricted cash, was $20.0 million.

“We made tremendous progress in Q3 with improvements across the board in technology, supply chain, customer wins and company efficiencies and processes,” said Dan Mondor, CEO of Inseego. “The market opportunities for mobile, IoT technologies and enterprise SaaS platforms have never been better.”

“There is a tremendous opportunity here to expand on an already strong brand portfolio and drive continuous shareholder value,” said Steve Smith, CFO of Inseego. “We have a lot of work ahead and need to relentlessly focus on key deliverables. With respect to the outlook, on a consolidated basis, we expect adjusted EBITDA to increase sequentially over the next several quarters. We expect growth in adjusted EBITDA despite an anticipated MiFi revenue decline in the fourth quarter due to the effect from prior supply issues as well as seasonality in the quarter. We are positioned to achieve positive adjusted free cash flow in the first quarter of 2018.”

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the information presented in this news release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and often contain words such as “may,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “will” and similar words and phrases indicating future results. The information presented in this news release related to our outlook for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2017 and our future business outlook, the future demand for our products, as well as other statements that are not purely statements of historical fact, are forward-looking in nature. These forward-looking statements are made on the basis of management's current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. We therefore cannot guarantee future results, performance or achievements. Actual results could differ materially from our expectations.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations include (1) the future demand for wireless broadband access to data and fleet management software and services; (2) the growth of wireless wide-area networking and fleet management software and services; (3) customer and end-user acceptance of the Company's current product and service offerings and market demand for the Company's anticipated new product and service offerings; (4) increased competition and pricing pressure from participants in the markets in which the Company is engaged; (5) dependence on third-party manufacturers and key component suppliers worldwide; (6) unexpected liabilities or expenses; (7) the Company's ability to introduce new products and services in a timely manner; (8) litigation, regulatory and IP developments related to our products or components of our products; (9) dependence on a small number of customers for a significant portion of the Company's revenues; and (10) the Company's plans and expectations relating to acquisitions, divestitures, strategic relationships, international expansion, software and hardware developments, personnel matters and cost containment initiatives, including restructuring activities and the timing of their implementation.

These factors, as well as other factors set forth as risk factors or otherwise described in the reports filed by the Company with the SEC (available at www.sec.gov), could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future, except as otherwise required pursuant to applicable law and our on-going reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Inseego Corp. has provided financial information in this news release that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net loss and net loss per share exclude restructuring charges, net of recoveries, share-based compensation expense, amortization of discount and issuance costs related to the Company’s convertible senior notes and term loans, loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment charges related to certain product lines the Company abandoned, net of recoveries from a related legal settlement, and charges related to the Company’s acquisition and divestiture activities, net of related costs recovered. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (unrelated to acquisitions, the convertible senior notes and the term loan), charges related to the termination of our revolving credit facility and net foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

Non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net loss and net loss per share are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and are not intended to be used in isolation or as a substitute for gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, net loss, net loss per share or any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. We present non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net loss and net loss per share because we consider each to be an important supplemental measure of our performance.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to make operational decisions, evaluate the Company’s performance, prepare forecasts and determine compensation. Further, management believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s performance when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. Share-based compensation expenses are expected to vary depending on the number of new incentive award grants issued to both current and new employees, the number of such grants forfeited by former employees, and changes in the Company's stock price, stock market volatility, expected option term and risk-free interest rates, all of which are difficult to estimate. In calculating non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net loss and net loss per share, management excludes certain non-cash and one-time items in order to facilitate comparability of the Company's operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such expenses are not, in management’s view, related to the Company's ongoing operating performance. Management uses this view of the Company's operating performance for purposes of comparison with its business plan and individual operating budgets and in the allocation of resources. Adjusted free cash flow is adjusted EBITDA less normalized interest payments, capital expenditures and tax payments.

The Company further believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in providing greater transparency to the information used by management in its operational decision-making. The Company believes that the use of non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net loss and net loss per share also facilitates a comparison of our underlying operating performance with that of other companies in our industry, which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

In the future, the Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items in the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Investors and potential investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. The limitations of relying on non-GAAP financial measures include, but are not limited to, the fact that other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool.

Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures contained within this news release with our GAAP financial results.
