Highlights:
| | • | For the third quarter of 2012, Service Revenues increased 23% year-over-year to $12.7 million and Total Revenues increased 15% to $16.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the period was $4.3 million, up 59% from $2.7 million during the same three months last year. ORBCOMM reported EPS of $0.05 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to EPS of $0.01 for the comparable period last year. |
| | • | For the third quarter of 2012, net subscriber additions were 29,000. ORBCOMM had 744,000 billable subscriber communicators at September 30, 2012, compared to 626,000 at the end of the third quarter last year. The base of billable subscribers increased 19% year-over-year. |
| | • | inthinc Technology Solutions Inc. (inthinc), a global provider of telematics, fleet management and driver safety solutions, selected ORBCOMM to provide wireless data services for inthinc’s technology applications in the heavy equipment, oil & gas and commercial fleet industries in the United States. |
| | • | ORBCOMM Generation 2 (OG2) prototype satellite was launched on October 7, 2012. The satellite de-orbited as the result of being deployed into a lower orbit due to a pre-imposed safety check required by NASA designed to protect the International Space Stations and its crew. Although the satellite was only available for a short time, we were able to perform several critical system verifications that validate that the innovative OG2 satellite technology operates as designed before launching the full constellation of OG2 satellites. With this verification data, ORBCOMM can focus on completing and launching the OG2 satellites as the primary mission payloads on two planned Falcon 9 launches, the first in mid-2013 and the second in 2014, directly into their operational orbit. |
| | • | StarTrak’s ReeferTrak® application was successfully implemented with TMW Systems, Inc’s TMWSuite®, providing for-hire carriers and private fleets the ability to capture real-time refrigerated trailer operational data including trailer temperature, operational condition and GPS position. |
“Once again, we are pleased to report strong quarterly results,” said Marc Eisenberg, Chief Executive Officer of ORBCOMM. “Our business fundamentals are healthy and we continue to execute on our business plan. Our AIS business has good momentum, reflecting the quality of the data. We continue to add net subscribers ending the quarter at 744,000 subscribers and have achieved positive Adjusted EBITDA in fourteen consecutive quarters over the last three and a half years.”
“ORBCOMM’s third quarter results reflect strong performance and continued profitability in our business,” said Robert Costantini, Chief Financial Officer of ORBCOMM. “Quarterly Service Revenues grew 23% over prior year, and increased $300,000 sequentially from the second quarter, with the gross margin on Services expanding to 60%. Adjusted EBITDA grew 59% year-over-year to $4.3 million and increased sequentially from the second quarter, demonstrating continued strength in the operating leverage of our business model.”
Financial Results and Highlights
Revenues
For the third quarter ended September 30, 2012, Service Revenues were $12.7 million compared to $10.3 million during the same period last year. The year-over-year increase of 23% was the result of an increase of units in service, increases in terrestrial ARPU, contribution from acquisitions and ORBCOMM’s AIS business that contributed $0.7 million to Service Revenues in the third quarter. ORBCOMM’s gross margin on Service Revenues expanded to 60% for the third quarter compared to 57% in the third quarter last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Service Revenues were $36.7 million compared to $26.7 million during the same period last year, increasing 37%.

Product Sales during the third quarter of 2012 were $3.4 million compared to $3.6 million during the same period last year. The decrease in Product Sales was largely due to the timing of purchases by OEM customers in Japan. Gross margin on Product Sales grew to 31% in the most recent quarter from 27% in the third quarter of 2011. Product Sales during the first nine months of 2012 increased 96% to $11.6 million from $5.9 million during the first nine months last year.
Total Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were $16.1 million compared $13.9 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, an increase of 15%. Total Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $48.3 million compared to $32.6 million during the same period of 2011, an increase of 48%.
Costs and Expenses
Costs and Expenses for the third quarter of 2012 were $13.5 million compared to $13.0 million during the same period in 2011. Costs and Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $41.6 million compared to $32.5 million during the same period in 2011. The increases were mostly due to costs associated with growth in the business, leading to higher Cost of Services, and expenses related to the operations of the LMS acquisition that were not present in the prior year period, offset by a reduction in Acquisition-related costs.
Costs of Product Sales for the third quarter of 2012 were $2.3 million compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of 12% due to lower Product Sales. Costs of Services, Product Development, and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses were $11.1 million for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $10.0 million in the prior year third quarter, an increase of $1.1 million primarily related to increased business activity and the addition of operating expenses for the LMS acquisition.
Acquisition-related Costs were less than $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2012 and were mostly due to the acquisition of the assets of LMS which closed in January 2012. Acquisition-related Costs were $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2011 and were related to the purchase of assets of StarTrak which closed in May 2011.
Income Before Income Taxes, Net Income, and Earnings Per Share
Income Before Income Taxes for the third quarter of 2012 was $2.6 million compared to $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Income Before Income Taxes was $7.8 million versus a loss of $0.2 million in the prior year period.
Net Income (Loss) attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders was $2.3 million for the three months ended September 2012 compared to $0.5 million for the similar three-month period in 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Net Income (Loss) attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders was $6.6 million versus a loss of $0.7 million in the prior year period.
Earnings Per Share were $0.05 for the third quarter of 2012 versus $0.01 for the third quarter of 2011, and were $0.14 per share for the first nine months of 2012 versus a loss of ($0.02) for the first nine months of 2011.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow
At September 30, 2012, Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Marketable Securities were $75.8 million, increasing from $75.4 million at June 30, 2012.
Cash provided by operating activities was $8.9 million for the first nine months of 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, cash of $11.7 million was used for capital expenditures, including OG2 satellite expenditures, and $4.0 million was used in the purchase of LMS.
Total ORBCOMM Inc. Stockholders’ Equity was $180.6 million at September 30, 2012.
Subsequent Event
On November 7, 2012, our Board of Directors concluded, based on the recommendation of management, that an impairment charge should be recognized with respect to the loss of the prototype satellite. Accordingly, we estimate that this impairment charge for the cost of the prototype satellite and associated launch services and launch insurance will be approximately $11 million and will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements during the fourth quarter of 2012. We have filed a claim under our launch insurance policy for a total loss of the next-generation prototype for the maximum amount covered by the policy of $10 million.

EBITDA is defined as earnings attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. ORBCOMM believes EBITDA is useful to its management and investors in evaluating operating performance because it is one of the primary measures used to evaluate the economic productivity of the Company’s operations, including its ability to obtain and maintain its customers, its ability to operate its business effectively, the efficiency of its employees and the profitability associated with their performance. It also helps ORBCOMM’s management and investors to meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of the Company’s operations from period to period on a consistent basis by removing the impact of its financing transactions and the depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments from its operating results. In addition, ORBCOMM management uses EBITDA in presentations to its board of directors to enable it to have the same measurement of operating performance used by management and for planning purposes, including the preparation of the annual operating budget. The Company also believes that EBITDA, adjusted for Stock-based compensation expense, Loss on disposition of other investment in Alanco, and Noncontrolling interests is useful to investors to evaluate the Company’s core operating results and financial performance and its capacity to fund capital expenditures, because it excludes items that are significant non-cash expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not performance measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. While ORBCOMM considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important measures of operating performance, they should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, Net Income (loss) or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different than EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation table is presented above.
