Inseego Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Inseego Corp. (Nasdaq: INSG) (the “Company”), a technology leader in 5G mobile and fixed wireless solutions for mobile network operators, Fortune 500 enterprises and SMBs, today reported its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. The Company reported first quarter revenue of $45.0 million, GAAP operating loss of $1.7 million, GAAP net loss of $4.5 million, GAAP net loss of $(0.44) per share, and Adjusted EBITDA of positive $3.8 million. Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2024 were $12.3 million.

“The Company had a solid quarter with good demand across our product lines and I am pleased that we delivered Q1 2024 results that exceeded guidance for both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. In my first quarter in the Executive Chairman role, I continue to be excited about the possibilities ahead, including our recently launched channel program,” said Phil Brace, Executive Chairman of Inseego. “On the capital structure front, we remain actively engaged with the holders of our convertible notes on a potential refinancing or restructuring and we are confident in our ability to secure a successful outcome for all stakeholders."

Steven Gatoff, Chief Financial Officer of Inseego, also commented: "In addition to the strong results for Q1 2024, we had several positive developments subsequent to quarter end, including an extension with a key customer that will result in increased revenues and profitability going forward and that came with a significant prepayment that was received in April. That successful renewal, in combination with our improving operations and free cash flow, enabled us to voluntarily pay-off and terminate our ABL facility in April and fund our working capital needs going forward. Given these positive developments, our guidance for the second quarter is significantly ahead of Q1 2024 results.”

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, and other statements that are not purely historical facts are forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, assumptions, estimates, and projections. They are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause 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 Company’s ability to make payments on or to refinance its indebtedness; (2) the Company’s dependence on a small number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenues; (3) the future demand for wireless broadband access to data and asset management software and services and our ability to accurately forecast; (4) the growth of wireless wide-area networking and asset management software and services; (5) 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; (6) our ability to develop sales channels and to onboard channel partners; (7) increased competition and pricing pressure from participants in the markets in which the Company is engaged; (8) dependence on third-party manufacturers and key component suppliers worldwide; (9) the impact of fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates; (10) the impact of supply chain challenges on our ability to source components and manufacture our products; (11) unexpected liabilities or expenses; (12) 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; (13) litigation, regulatory and IP developments related to our products or components of our products; (14) the Company’s ability to raise additional financing when the Company requires capital for operations or to satisfy corporate obligations; (15) 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; (16) the global semiconductor shortage and any related price increases or supply chain disruptions, (17) the potential impact of COVID-19 or other global public health emergencies on the business, (18) the impact of high rates of inflation and rising interest rates, and (19) the impact of geopolitical instability on our 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 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, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future, except as otherwise required under applicable law and our ongoing reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Inseego Corp. has provided financial information in this press release that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating costs and expenses, for example, exclude preferred stock dividends, share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets purchased through acquisitions, amortization of discount and issuance costs related to our 2025 Notes and revolving credit facility, fair value adjustments on derivative instruments, and other non-recurring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA excludes interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment of capitalized software, impairment of long-lived assets, certain other non-recurring expenses and foreign exchange gains and losses.

Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP cost of revenues, 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. They are not intended to be used in isolation or as a substitute for cost of revenues, 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 them to be an important supplemental performance measure.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures to make operational decisions, evaluate our performance, prepare forecasts and determine compensation. Further, management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our 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 our 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, we exclude certain non-cash and one-time items to facilitate comparability of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such expenses are not, in our view, related to our ongoing operational performance. We use this view of our operating performance to compare it with the business plan and individual operating budgets and in the allocation of resources.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful to investors in providing greater transparency to the information used by management in its operational decision-making. The Company believes that using these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparing our underlying operating performance with other companies in our industry, which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

In the future, we expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and the 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 material limitations are associated with using 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 in this press release with our GAAP financial results.
