Inseego Reports Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

5G revenue growth of 260% year-over-year

Expanded relationship with T-Mobile for 5G fixed wireless access

Strong 5G enterprise pipeline growth across multiple regions

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 2021-- Inseego Corp. (Nasdaq: INSG) (the “Company”), a leader in 5G and intelligent IoT device-to-cloud solutions, today reported its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021. The Company reported third quarter net revenue of $66.2 million, GAAP operating loss of $10.0 million, GAAP net loss of $9.0 million, GAAP net loss of $0.09 per share, negative adjusted EBITDA of $0.8 million, and non-GAAP net loss of $0.08 per share. Cash and cash equivalents at quarter end, including restricted cash, was $61.6 million.

“We had a strong third quarter driven by our expanded relationship with T-Mobile for our 5G fixed wireless access solution and continued global momentum in our 5G mobile broadband hotspots,” said Dan Mondor, chairman and CEO of Inseego Corp. “Our enterprise pipeline grew substantially, and we continue to expand our channel footprint in multiple geographies to capitalize on those opportunities. Our combined 5G and cloud solutions contributed greater than 60% of total revenue in the quarter, a 124% increase from a year ago. This spectacular growth is a direct result of our strategy to invest in next-generation products. Recent success with large mobile network operators in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific regions underlines our continued 5G momentum across our target geographic segments.”

Corporate Highlights

• Q3 revenue of $66.2 million, up 0.8% sequentially; 9% sequentially on a pro forma basis after the divestiture of Ctrack South Africa
• Cash balance of $61.6 million, including restricted cash
• Robert Barbieri appointed Chief Financial Officer

Business Highlights

• 5G revenue up 260% year-over-year
• Cloud software revenue up 25% year-over-year
• Began volume shipments of the Inseego Wavemaker™ FX2000 5G CPE to support launch by T-Mobile for Business
• New 5G FWA launch with Telstra in Australia in the fourth quarter
• New 5G mobile broadband launches with Optus Enterprise in Australia and Sunrise UPC in Switzerland
• Continued 5G pipeline growth in enterprise markets

“Pro forma revenue was up a robust 9% sequentially, driven predominantly by accelerating demand for our 5G and cloud solutions portfolio. Looking ahead, our global supply chain, despite the current environment, is a source of competitive advantage. I believe the company is poised for another quarter of sequential growth,” said Bob Barbieri, CFO of Inseego. “We are confident in our ability to achieve approximately 25% revenue growth in 2022 pro forma after the sale of our Ctrack South Africa business.

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 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 asset management software and services; (2) the growth of wireless wide-area networking and asset 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) the impact that new or adjusted tariffs may have on the cost of components or our products, and our ability to sell products internationally; (7) the impact of fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates; (8) the impact of geopolitical instability and supply chain challenges on our ability to source components and manufacture our products; (9) unexpected liabilities or expenses; (10) the Company’s ability to introduce new products and services in a timely manner, including the ability to develop and launch 5G products at the speed and functionality required by our customers; (11) litigation, regulatory and IP developments related to our products or components of our products; (12) dependence on a small number of customers for a significant portion of the Company’s revenues; (13) the Company’s ability to raise additional financing when the Company requires capital for operations or to satisfy corporate obligations; (14) 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 implementations; (15) the global semiconductor shortage and any related price increases or supply chain disruptions, and (16) the potential impact of COVID-19 on the business.

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. Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share and non-GAAP operating costs and expenses exclude share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets purchased through acquisitions, amortization of discount and issuance costs related to the Company’s convertible senior notes, loss on debt conversion and extinguishment relating to convertible senior notes, and fair value adjustments on derivative instruments. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (unrelated to acquisitions, the convertible senior notes), fair value adjustment on derivative, gain on sale of Ctrack South Africa, non-recurring costs, and other.

Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share and non-GAAP operating costs and expenses 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 operating expenses, net loss, net loss per share or any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. We present these non-GAAP financial measures 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 financial measures, 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.

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 these non-GAAP financial measures 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.
