INSG

Q4 2023 revenue of $42.8 million

Q4 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of $4.1 million

Fourth consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA with $16.7 million in positive Adjusted EBITDA in 2023

Philip Brace appointed Executive Chairman

Inseego Corp. (Nasdaq: INSG) (the “Company”), a technology leader in 5G and 4G mobile and fixed wireless solutions for mobile network operators, Fortune 500 enterprises, SMBs, and consumers, today reported its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023. The Company reported fourth quarter revenue of $42.8 million, GAAP operating loss of $11.1 million, GAAP net loss of $14.3 million, GAAP net loss of $1.28 per share, and Adjusted EBITDA of positive $4.1 million. Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2023 were $7.5 million.

Inseego also announced that Ashish Sharma has resigned as Chief Executive Officer and President, effective February 23, 2024, to pursue other interests, and that Philip Brace has been appointed to the newly created role of Executive Chairman, effective immediately. Among other responsibilities, as Executive Chairman, Brace will be leading the Board of Directors’ search for a new permanent CEO.

"Inseego is well positioned to capitalize on the growing FWA market and the changes being made today are in support of leading the company to execute on this next phase,” said Philip Brace. "I was excited about the possibilities ahead when I joined the Board six months ago, and I look forward to driving the business forward in this new role as Executive Chairman on an interim basis."

Board Chairman, Jeff Tuder also commented: "We are really pleased that Phil has agreed to take on this expanded role as Executive Chairman over the next few quarters. Phil has been a tremendous addition to our Board since he joined this past September, and we are confident that his deep industry experience and product expertise will be a tremendous asset to Inseego and its leadership team during this important period.” Tuder continued, "On behalf of the entire Board, I would like to thank Ashish for his contributions to Inseego over the past six years and wish him success in his next chapter.”

Q4 and Full Year 2023 Financial Highlights

– Revenue for Q4 2023 was $42.8 million; full year 2023 revenue was $195.7 million.
– Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2023 was $4.1 million; full year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA was $16.7 million.
– GAAP gross margin for Q4 2023 was 31.5%, which was impacted by non-cash inventory reserves taken during the quarter. Non-GAAP gross margin for Q4 2023 increased year-over-year from 30.3% to 39.7% as the revenue mix continues to shift to higher-margin products.
– Cash decreased in Q4 2023 due to anticipated changes in working capital.
– On February 20, 2024 the Company entered into an amendment of its Credit Agreement. The amendment relaxed the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement by decreasing the Minimum Liquidity Covenant from $10 million to $8 million. This will allow the Company to have increased availability to borrow under the Credit Agreement. The amendment was done at no cost to the Company.
– The Company is now reporting revenues in two revenue categories: Product Revenue (consisting of Mobile solutions and Fixed wireless access (“FWA”) solutions); and Services and Other Revenue - all prior periods have been reclassified to show revenue in these categories.

Q4 2023 Business Highlights

– Announced the launch of the Inseego Wavemaker 5G indoor router FX3100 for T-Mobile for Business, successfully transitioning from our 1st generation to our 2nd generation 5G FWA, unlocking new business opportunities with increased demand for new features and functionality.
– Achieved technical acceptance of 2nd generation 5G outdoor CPE with UScellular, with a planned launch in the second quarter of 2024.
– Received new awards for MiFi X PRO 5G mobile hotspot, and launched with multiple operators in North America.

“We remain committed to delivering profitability as we invest for growth in FWA,” said Steven Gatoff, Chief Financial Officer of Inseego. “While we’re pleased with delivering revenue and Adjusted EBITDA above guidance, we’re hyper-focused on driving revenue growth as we move into 2024.”

Q1 2024 Guidance

– Total revenue in the range of $40.0 million to $42.0 million.
– Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $2.5 million to $3.0 million.

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, and other statements that are not purely historical facts are forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, assumptions, estimates, and projections. They are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause 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 and our ability to accurately forecast; (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) our ability to develop sales channels and to onboard channel partners; (5) dependence on a small number of customers for a significant portion of the Company’s revenues and accounts receivable; (6) increased competition and pricing pressure from participants in the markets in which the Company is engaged; (7) dependence on third-party manufacturers and key component suppliers worldwide; (8) the impact of fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates; (9) the impact of supply chain challenges on our ability to source components and manufacture our products; (10) unexpected liabilities or expenses; (11) 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; (12) litigation, regulatory and IP developments related to our products or components of our products; (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, (16) the potential impact of COVID-19 or other global public health emergencies on the business, (17) the impact of high rates of inflation and rising interest rates, and (18) the impact of geopolitical instability on our 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 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, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future, except as otherwise required under applicable law and our ongoing reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Inseego Corp. has provided financial information in this press release that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating costs and expenses, for example, exclude preferred stock dividends, share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets purchased through acquisitions, amortization of discount and issuance costs related to our 2025 Notes and revolving credit facility, fair value adjustments on derivative instruments, and other non-recurring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA excludes interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment of capitalized software, impairment of long-lived assets, certain other non-recurring expenses and foreign exchange gains and losses.

Adjusted EBITDA 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. They 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 them to be an important supplemental performance measure.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures to make operational decisions, evaluate our performance, prepare forecasts and determine compensation. Further, management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our 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 our 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, we exclude certain non-cash and one-time items to facilitate comparability of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such expenses are not, in our view, related to our ongoing operational performance. We use this view of our operating performance to compare it with the business plan and individual operating budgets and in the allocation of resources.

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

In the future, we expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and the 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 material limitations are associated with using 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 in this press release with our GAAP financial results.
