Financial Results and Highlights
Revenues
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2015, Service Revenues were up 65% over the prior year period in 2014 to $23.8 million. The increase in Service Revenues in Q1 of 2015 was driven by core network revenues, AIS, Euroscan and the recent acquisitions of SkyWave and InSync.
Product Sales during the first quarter of 2015 were $18.6 million compared to $4.9 million during the same period last year, increasing $13.6 million or 277%. The quarterly year-over-year increase in Product Sales was driven by large customer orders for our solutions, in additional to sales from Euroscan and SkyWave.
Total Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 were $42.3 million compared to $19.4 million during the same period of 2014, an increase of 119%.
Direct Costs and Operating Expenses
Total direct costs and operating expenses for the first quarter of 2015 were $43.6 million compared to $19.6 million during the same period in 2014. Direct costs, exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization, increased year-over-year largely due to increases in both Service Revenues and Product Sales and costs to operate the companies acquired. Gross Profit increased by $10.4 million or 102% to $20.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to $10.3 million for the prior year quarter due to the increase in Service Revenues and Product Sales. Operating Expenses were higher than the prior year period primarily due to expenses from the companies acquired such as acquired employees, increases in professional services, higher Depreciation and Amortization from the six operational OG2 satellites commencing service in Q3 last year and acquired intangible assets, and higher Acquisition-Related and Integration costs of $2.5 million related to SkyWave and Insync.
Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes, Net Income (Loss), and Earnings Per Share
Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes for the first quarter of 2015 was a $2.3 million loss compared to a $0.2 million loss for the first quarter of 2014 due to higher costs as described above and higher Interest Expense related to debt financings to fund the acquisitions of SkyWave and InSync.
Net Income (Loss) attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders was a $2.9 million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to a $0.4 million loss for the same three-month period in 2014. Basic Earnings Per Share were ($0.04) for the first quarter of 2015 versus ($0.01) for the first quarter of 2014.

EBITDA is defined as earnings attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. before interest income (expense), loss on debt extinguishment, 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, noncontrolling interests, impairment loss, non-capitalized satellite launch and in-orbit insurance, insurance recovery, and acquisition-related and integration costs 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 or non-recurring expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Adjusted EBITDA Margin equals Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total Revenues. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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 or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different than EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin measures presented by other companies.
