For Immediate Release
Numerex Revises Full Year 2012 and Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Non-Cash Charge Does Not Affect Previously Reported Revenues or Operating Earnings
ATLANTA, GA April 2, 2013—Numerex Corp (NASDAQ:NMRX), a leading provider of on-demand and interactive machine-to-machine (M2M) enterprise solutions, today announced revised financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012. The adjustment does not affect prior reporting periods or require an accounting restatement.
This revision is a one-time, non-cash adjustment of $338,000, after tax, and has no impact on the Company’s operations and does not affect either historical Operating Earnings or any expectations of future performance. The Company re-iterates 2013 guidance of subscription base growth in the range of 27% to 32% which is expected to deliver an 18% to 23% growth rate in subscription-based recurring revenue.
Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortization, stock compensation and non-recurring charges (Adjusted EBITDA) following the revision, remains unchanged at $2.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 and $8.0 for the full year, 2012, compared to $2.0 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and $6.7 million for 2011. A reconciliation of GAAP to these non-GAAP results follows:

With regard to the revision, the Company wrote off $0.5 million that it paid to a financing company to renew an outstanding lease after it had determined that this payment was more appropriately classified as a charge to earnings rather than an asset. Therefore, during the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company was required to increase Other Non-Operating Expenses by $0.5 million with an offsetting tax benefit of $0.2 million.
As a result of this revision, net income for the full year 2012, was $7.2 million compared to previously reported net income of $7.5 million. For the fourth quarter of 2012, net income was $0.6 million compared to net income of $0.9 million as previously reported.
