ABI Research Ranks Powerfleet as the World’s No. 1 Commercial Cold Chain Solution

WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ – Sept. 17, 2024 – Powerfleet, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIOT) today was named the number one global leader in cold chain monitoring solutions, according to a competitive ranking assessment by ABI Research. The study from ABI Research assessed nine cold chain software vendors to provide an independent third party ranking that considered key trends in the market, including the growing demand for real-time monitoring, adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) and advanced sensors, as well as other advanced analytics and regulatory compliance.

With cold chain logistics involving unique complexities and challenges that extend beyond standard logistics operations, success hinges on meticulous management, maximum control, and real-time temperature and humidity monitoring. From starting point to destination, Powerfleet addresses these intricacies, creating a comprehensive cold chain offering by integrating IoT tracking devices, refrigeration units, and environmental sensors into one purpose-built smart trailer solution.

The assessment named Unity, Powerfleet’s SaaS-based, data-agnostic platform, as its key differentiator. The platform ingests data from any IoT device, OEM, or external data source and then applies AI and machine learning to deliver actionable insights for informed decision-making, all within a single pane of glass. Unity also has a deep bench of integration capabilities. This allows customers to integrate real-time temperature data, refrigeration unit monitor/control, and fleet asset management into surrounding business systems for reliable product assurance, compliance verification, and visibility.

Powerfleet Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Focused execution following the business combination with MiX Telematics evidenced by annual revenue and AEBITDA growth of +10% and +50%, respectively

Revenue Grows 10.2% annually to $75.4 million, driven by unity ecosystem and safety-centric solutions

Cost synergy traction with $8.7 million in annual run-rate savings secured by end of June quarter

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J.Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Powerfleet, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIOT), reported its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2024. This marks the first full quarter post-close of the MiX Telematics Ltd. business combination with prior year comparison numbers adjusted to reflect the pro forma financial performance of the combined businesses.

FIRST QUARTER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Total revenue was $75.4 million, up 10.2% year-over-year, driven by the strength of our safety-centric product solutions.
  • Product revenue rose by 29% year-over-year to $18.7 million, reflecting strong demand for our differentiated product offerings; building our recurring revenue base; and contributing to a 7% expansion in product gross margin.
  • Excluding the impact of non-cash charges from the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, gross profit increased by $3.5 million, or 9.0%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, totaled $13.7 million, a significant 52.2% increase year-over-year, driven by strong topline performance and the realization of initial cost synergies.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“I’m incredibly proud of the traction we’ve gained and the significant progress our team has made following the close of the MiX Telematics transaction in early April”, said CEO Steve Towe. “The successful execution of our integration strategy is already evident in our strong financial performance this quarter, with a 10% increase in combined revenue and a remarkable 50% rise in adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior year. This reflects our ability to drive radical change without disrupting operations, setting a solid foundation for sustained growth.”

“Our strategic rationale behind the MiX transaction was clear: securing scale is critical to distinguishing our combined business from competitors and aligning with market leaders as the core telematics industry rapidly transforms. By leveraging our Unity ecosystem’s advanced AI platforms and next-generation data capabilities, we are poised to thrive in a market that increasingly values innovation and agility.”

“We are also off to a strong start in achieving our cost synergy commitments, securing $8.7 million in annual savings within the first 90 days. These savings have provided us with the flexibility to make targeted investments in our go-to-market and customer success teams, leading to a 30% increase in our sales force in the coming months. As we continue to work towards our target of $27 million in savings, we remain focused on scaling our operations and driving sustainable growth as we advance toward our goal of rule 40 performance over the next two years.”

FIRST QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Total revenue for the quarter increased by 10.2% year-over-year to $75.4 million, up from $68.4 million in the same period last year. This growth was largely driven by the continued success of the company’s differentiated safety-centric product solutions, with product revenue increasing over 29% to $18.7 million.

Service revenue grew by 5% year-over-year to $56.7 million. This performance highlights the strength of the Unity product strategy and the benefits of operating at scale globally, which helped mitigate the impact of previously disclosed churn in the legacy MiX customer base and macro and geopolitical pressures in certain regions, such as Israel.

Combined gross margin of 52.6% includes a $3.0 million non-cash expense for the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles from the MiX business combination. Excluding this expense, adjusted gross margin was 56.5%, compared to 57.2% in the prior year, with the current period’s performance partially affected by a higher proportion of product sales.

Operating expenses for the quarter totaled $57.9 million, including $20.4 million in one-time transaction, restructuring, and accelerated stock-based compensation costs. On an adjusted basis, excluding these one-time costs, operating expenses were $37.5 million and in line with the prior year.

The company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $22.3 million, or $(0.21) per share, compared to $(0.04) in the prior year. However, after adjusting for one-time expenses and the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, adjusted earnings per share was $0.00 for the current year.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 52.2% to $13.7 million from $9.0 million in the previous year. This growth was driven by strong topline performance, resulting in a $3.5 million increase in gross margin after accounting for the impact of the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles.

The company ended the quarter with net debt of $108.2 million, comprising $31.4 million in cash and $139.6 million in total debt. After accounting for unsettled transaction costs, pro forma net debt was $114 million versus $110 million at the MiX transaction close date. The $4 million increase in pro forma net debt was primarily driven by an increase in net working capital of $7.0 million that is directly attributable to higher receivables following strong topline performance.

FULL-YEAR 2025 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

The company is reiterating its updated guidance from the August 6th fireside chat. Full-year 2025 revenue is expected to exceed $300 million, an increase from the initial guidance of approximately $300 million. Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to exceed $60 million, inclusive of an incremental $5 million in secured exit run-rate cost synergies, compared to its initial guidance of around $60 million.

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 gross margin, adjusted operating expenses and adjusted earnings per share. 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, 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.

Delays Q1 Fiscal 2025 Conference Call and Related Filings Due to SEC Comment Letter on Accounting Acquirer in MiX Telematics Business Combination

Company to Hold Fireside Chat on Tuesday, August 6th at 8:30am ET

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J.Aug. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Powerfleet, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIOT) today announced a delay of its earnings call for the first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, originally scheduled for August 8, 2024. This follows the receipt of a comment letter from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requesting additional information solely regarding Powerfleet’s determination of the accounting acquirer in the recent business combination with MiX Telematics Ltd.

This accounting issue is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s cash flows. Powerfleet is actively engaged with its auditors, financial, and legal advisors to address the SEC’s comment and targets to resolve this matter within the month of August. However, this ongoing process will delay the company’s ability to file its Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2024, as well as its Form 10-Q for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 ended June 30, 2024.

In addition, Powerfleet announced preliminary results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 ended June 30, 2024 and pro forma results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

Preliminary Results for First Quarter 2025 Ended June 30, 2024

Powerfleet anticipates reporting preliminary revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 of approximately $75 million, representing an increase of 10% compared to the combined revenue of Powerfleet, Inc. and MiX Telematics Ltd. in the same period last year.

Additionally, preliminary pro forma adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, is projected to exceed $13.5 million, exclusive of $14 million in one-time expenses, reflecting an increase of over 40% versus the combined adjusted EBITDA from the prior year’s comparable period.

The preliminary pro forma net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 is expected to be approximately $23 million, inclusive of $21 million in transaction, restructuring, and other one-time costs and accelerated stock-based compensation.

As of June 30, 2024, the company held net debt of approximately $114 million, after accounting for $6 million in unsettled one-time transaction costs.

Powerfleet is increasing its full-year fiscal 2025 guidance, forecasting revenue now to exceed $300 million versus prior guidance of approximately $300 million and adjusted EBITDA to exceed $60 million, which includes an incremental $5 million in secured exit run-rate cost synergies, versus the prior guidance of approximately $60 million.

Powerfleet will reschedule and announce its first quarter 2025 reporting date and conference call as soon as practicable.

Preliminary Pro Forma Results for Fiscal 2024 Ended March 31, 2024

On a preliminary and pro forma basis, assuming the MiX Telematics Ltd. business combination closed on April 1, 2023, management expects to report total fiscal 2024 revenue of approximately $287 million.

Preliminary pro forma fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, is expected to be approximately $43 million, excluding $14 million in one-time expenses.

Preliminary fiscal 2024 pro forma net income/loss attributable to common stockholders is expected to total approximately $36 million, inclusive of $14 million in transaction, restructuring, and other one-time costs.

The financial results reported herein are preliminary and subject to completion of the audit of the financial results for the transition period from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024 and Powerfleet’s quarter-end close process. Such preliminary results may change and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for any future period.

Fireside Chat to be Held on Tuesday, August 6, 2024 at 8:30am ET

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Powerfleet’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions.

These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Powerfleet’s expectations with respect to its beliefs, plans, goals, objectives, expectations, anticipations, assumptions, estimates, intentions and future performance, as well as anticipated financial impacts of the transaction with MiX Telematics. Forward-looking statements involve significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause their actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside Powerfleet’s control and are difficult to predict. The risks and uncertainties referred to above include, but are not limited to, risks related to: (i) future economic and business conditions, including the conflict between Israel and Hamas; (ii) integration of our and MiX Telematics’ businesses and the ability to recognize the anticipated synergies and benefits of the transaction with MiX Telematics; (iii) the loss of any of our key customers or reduction in the purchase of our products by any such customers; (iv) the failure of the markets for our products to continue to develop; (v) the negative effects of the transaction on the market price of our securities; (vi) our inability to adequately protect our intellectual property; (vii) our inability to manage growth; (viii) the effects of competition from a wide variety of local, regional, national and other providers of wireless solutions; (ix) failure to make timely filings of Powerfleet’s periodic reports with the SEC, including the transition report on Form 10-KT for the period from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024 and the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and (x) such other factors as are set forth in the periodic reports filed by Powerfleet with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including but not limited to those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and any other filings made with the SEC from time to time, which are available via the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements.

Powerfleet does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) for forecasts because it cannot, without unreasonable effort, predict the special items that could arise, and Powerfleet is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made only as of the date of this press release, and except as otherwise required by applicable securities law, Powerfleet assumes no obligation, nor does Powerfleet intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

The risks and uncertainties referred to above include, but are not limited to, risks related to: (i) future economic and business conditions, including the conflict between Israel and Hamas; (ii) integration of our and MiX Telematics’ businesses and the ability to recognize the anticipated synergies and benefits of the transaction with MiX Telematics; (iii) the loss of any of our key customers or reduction in the purchase of our products by any such customers; (iv) the failure of the markets for our products to continue to develop; (v) the negative effects of the transaction on the market price of our securities; (vi) our inability to adequately protect our intellectual property; (vii) our inability to manage growth; (viii) the effects of competition from a wide variety of local, regional, national and other providers of wireless solutions; and (ix) such other factors as are set forth in the periodic reports filed by Powerfleet with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including but not limited to those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and any other filings made with the SEC from time to time, which are available via the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by these forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements.

Powerfleet does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP adjusted EBTIDA to Net Income (Loss) for forecasts because it cannot, without unreasonable effort, predict the special items that could arise, and Powerfleet is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made only as of the date of this press release, and except as otherwise required by applicable securities law, Powerfleet assumes no obligation, nor does Powerfleet intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

IMC Logistics, LLC Deploys Powerfleet’s Unity Platform

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J.June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Powerfleet, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIOT) today announced IMC Logistics, LLC, the largest marine drayage provider in the United States, has deployed its SaaS-based, data-agnostic platform, Unity. Through using Unity’s data highway, large amounts of data can now be ingested, harmonized, and simplified within a single pane of glass, offering actionable insights and real-time visibility of IMC’s unpowered and untethered assets across hundreds of locations in North America.

With Unity now consolidating large amounts of IMC’s data from numerous sources and IoT devices, the pain of having multiple providers and portals has been eliminated. This unification makes the platform a future-proof solution – as IMC grows and evolves, Unity eases the friction of standard mergers and acquisitions activity by rapidly consuming and harmonizing the new data sets.

This partnership has also solved asset visibility challenges for IMC and helped mitigate the need for constant search and re-evaluation of equipment. By standardizing installation, they have been able to further reduce frustration and duplication of efforts.

“It has been an exemplary experience with the Powerfleet team every step of the way from the pre-sales process through to contract execution and technical deployment,” said Carl Schultz, Vice President of IT at IMC. “Powerfleet Unity is purpose-fit to empower our digital transformation and Powerfleet’s people truly care, a winning combination and a formula for success. In short, Unity brings order to our data chaos.”

IMC leverages the Unity platform and Asset Gateway product, taking full advantage of Powerfleet’s best-in-class hardware and SaaS software solutions – resulting in complete, real-time asset visibility from port to final destination.

“This partnership is a perfect illustration of the transformative power of data and how it can unify operations to achieve business objectives,” said Steve Towe, Chief Executive Officer at Powerfleet. “The IMC team is revolutionizing the transportation space, and we are honored to work with a company that is similarly dedicated to ongoing innovation to better serve customers.”

More information on Powerfleet’s Unity platform is available here.
