Inseego Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Results

5G revenue annual growth of 132% year-over-year

Continued strong 5G enterprise pipeline growth across multiple regions

Ashish Sharma appointed CEO; Dan Mondor to become Executive Chairman

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$INSG #5G–Inseego Corp. (Nasdaq: INSG) (the “Company”), a leader in 5G and intelligent IoT device-to-cloud solutions, today reported its results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021. The Company reported fourth quarter net revenue of $72.9 million, GAAP operating loss of $9.8 million, GAAP net loss of $11.4 million, GAAP net loss of $0.11 per share, adjusted EBITDA of negative $1.2 million, and non-GAAP net loss of $0.08 per share. Cash and cash equivalents at year end, including restricted cash, was $49.8 million. On a full year basis, 2021 net revenue was $262.4 million.

“2021 proved to be a transformative year for Inseego. We sharpened our focus on becoming the leader in 5G edge connectivity solutions for the enterprise, and our business grew sequentially in each quarter driven by 5G and cloud solutions,” said Inseego Chairman and CEO Dan Mondor. “With the momentum we are seeing in the 5G enterprise pipeline, supported by the strength of our supply chain and significant operating leverage in our model, I am confident that 2022 will be the breakout year for Inseego.”

Corporate Highlights

– 2021 full year net revenue of $262.4 million, Q4 2021 net revenue of $72.9 million

– Year-end cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance of $49.8 million in the quarter with zero bank debt

Business Highlights

– 5G revenue up 132% year-over-year on an annual basis

– 5G and cloud solutions represents 58% of total revenue in the quarter

– 5G Inseego Wavemaker™ FWA solutions launched with T-Mobile for Business, Telstra in Australia and Vodafone Qatar in the fourth quarter

– Market expansion in the Middle East with new Inseego 5G MiFi® M2000 launch with Zain KSA in Saudi Arabia in the first quarter

– Multiple 5G FWA solutions now certified with all tier-one carriers in the United States, including standalone (SA) 5G with T-Mobile

– Continued 5G device-to-cloud enterprise pipeline growth in Australia, Europe, the Middle East and North America markets

“We had a strong finish to 2021 that saw Inseego grow our 5G business sequentially throughout the year. The strength in the quarter and the year was driven primarily by increasing adoption of our 5G and cloud solutions portfolio, demonstrating the remarkable transformation Inseego has undergone,” said Bob Barbieri, CFO at Inseego. “While gross margin decreased as a result of the divestiture of Ctrack South Africa, a seasonal mix shift in device sales, and higher freight and shipping costs, we see gross margin expansion over the long-term as our next-generation 5G solutions will comprise a greater mix of our revenue. Moreover, as we continue to grow the topline in 2022, we expect operating leverage will drive free cash generation in the back half of the year.”

Inseego also announced today that Ashish Sharma will assume the role of chief executive officer and Dan Mondor is becoming executive chairman effective March 1, 2022.

“I am extremely proud of the Inseego team’s accomplishments over the past several years,” said Mondor. “With our growing portfolio of innovative 5G products and software solutions and expanding customer base, Inseego is well positioned to execute on our 5G growth strategy in Enterprise. Ashish has been the architect of our product and go-to-market strategy, including our industry-leading 5G roadmap and global roll-out. With our business model clearly validated and our leadership in 5G, the board of directors and I agreed that this is the right time for Ashish to assume leadership of the company and preside over what I see as the single largest opportunity in Inseego’s history.

“As executive chairman, I will focus on a number of strategic initiatives to maximize shareholder value. Ashish and I have worked closely together over the past few years to lead the company, and we will continue to do so in our new roles to help Inseego execute on its strategy,” he continued.

Sharma has served as Inseego’s president since June 2021. He joined Inseego in 2017 as chief marketing officer and executive vice president of IoT & Mobile Solutions and was promoted to president of IoT & Mobile Solutions in 2020.

“It is a privilege to work side-by-side with Dan, our world-class board of directors, and a very talented leadership team,” said Sharma. “I have been humbled by the passion and perseverance of our employees, and their exceptional talent for delivering market-leading innovation together with our customers and partners over the years. Together, we will build upon our successes and lead the company through its next phase, while exceeding the expectations of our customers and delivering value to our shareholders.”

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, as well as other statements that are not purely statements of historical fact, are forward-looking in nature. These forward-looking statements are made on the basis of management’s current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual 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 future demand for wireless broadband access to data and asset management software and services; (2) the growth of wireless wide-area networking and asset management software and services; (3) 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; (4) increased competition and pricing pressure from participants in the markets in which the Company is engaged; (5) dependence on third-party manufacturers and key component suppliers worldwide; (6) the impact that new or adjusted tariffs may have on the cost of components or our products, and our ability to sell products internationally; (7) the impact of fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates; (8) the impact of geopolitical instability and supply chain challenges on our ability to source components and manufacture our products; (9) unexpected liabilities or expenses; (10) 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; (11) litigation, regulatory and IP developments related to our products or components of our products; (12) dependence on a small number of customers for a significant portion of the Company’s revenues and accounts receivable; (13) the Company’s ability to raise additional financing when the Company requires capital for operations or to satisfy corporate obligations; (14) 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; (15) the global semiconductor shortage and any related price increases or supply chain disruptions, and (16) the potential impact of COVID-19 on the 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 actual 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 for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future, except as otherwise required pursuant to applicable law and our on-going reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Inseego Corp. has provided financial information in this news release that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share and non-GAAP operating costs and expenses exclude preferred stock dividends, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets purchased through acquisitions, amortization of discount and issuance costs related to the Company’s 2025 Notes, fair value adjustments on derivative instruments, gain on sale of Ctrack South Africa, costs related to the divestiture of Ctrack South Africa, loss on debt conversion and extinguishment relating to the Company’s 2025 Notes, and other non-recurring legal expenses. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (unrelated to acquisitions, the 2025 Notes), impairment of capitalized software, foreign exchange gains and losses, and other.

Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share 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 and are not intended to be used in isolation or as a substitute for 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 each to be an important supplemental measure of our performance.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to make operational decisions, evaluate the Company’s performance, prepare forecasts and determine compensation. Further, management believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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, management excludes certain non-cash and one-time items in order to facilitate comparability of the Company’s operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such expenses are not, in management’s view, related to the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Management uses this view of the Company’s operating performance for purposes of comparison with its business plan and individual operating budgets and in the allocation of resources.

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

In the future, the Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and 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 there are material limitations associated with the use of 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 contained within this news release with our GAAP financial results.
