IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a connected intelligence company that helps organizations monitor, track and protect their vital assets, today reported financial results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2024 ended November 30, 2023.

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Overview   

  • Revenue was $53.6 million, representing a 13% decline QoQ and a 32% decline YoY driven primarily by softer demand in the TSP market segment.

  • Gross margin was 33%, representing a decline of approximately 340 bps QoQ and 100 bps decline YoY as a result of a shift in product mix and a higher-than-normal reserve for excess and obsolete inventory.

  • S&SS revenue was $34.5 million, representing a 15% decline QoQ and a 30% decline YoY.

  • Telematics Products revenue was $19.2 million, representing a 10% decline QoQ and a 35% decline YoY.

  • Recurring Application Subscription revenues were $17.8 million in the quarter, representing a 5% decline QoQ as well as YoY.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was $1.0 million, representing a $4.8 million decline QoQ and a $3.7 million decline YoY.

  • GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $85 million, or a loss of $2.27 per share.  This includes the impact of a $74 million goodwill impairment charge.

  • Ended the quarter with $38.2 million in cash and cash equivalents down $400K QoQ.

“In the third quarter, strength in our industrial and connected car segments was offset by soft demand in our TSP segment.  Soft demand with TSPs led to lower than expected consolidated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.  We continue to work closely with our TSP customers as they rebalance inventory levels and respond to an overall competitive environment.  We are optimistic that our rejuvenated efforts in this segment will result in a return to revenue growth from current levels” said Interim CEO, Jason Cohenour. “During the quarter, we also implemented initiatives to narrow our strategic focus and to reduce cash expenses by approximately $16 million on an annualized basis.  Our sharpened focus on core segments, combined with a more efficient cost structure, adds considerable leverage to our operating model as we strive for a return to profitable growth.”
