Management Commentary
“The fourth quarter was a solid finish to a very unpredictable 2020,” said PowerFleet CEO Chris Wolfe. “Our continued execution against strategic initiatives, including focus on driving profitable growth, and our leaner cost structure enabled us to deliver 7% sequential topline growth, 4% sequential increase in high margin recurring and services revenue, and improved GAAP and non-GAAP profitability measures for the quarter. These improving financial metrics demonstrate the leverage in our business model and the ongoing benefits from our cost optimization measures, which together helped to produce strong gross margins and $8.8 million in operating cash for 2020.
“From a sales perspective, we finished the year strong with several new customer wins, a solid backlog of installations, and a robust prospect pipeline entering 2021. We remain encouraged by our growing product portfolio, expanded partnership with Jungheinrich as well as notable new wins, including Kautex, Panhandle Transportation Group, Nucor Tubular, and McGuire Transportation.
“Looking ahead in 2021, end market demand for our dry van, container, and cold chain mobility platforms is steadily improving in North America and we are gaining numerous cold chain and IoT pharma customers in Israel. As the global economy recovers and countries reopen, PowerFleet is well positioned to leverage our enhanced scale, strong balance sheet, and expansive international footprint to effectively compete and win global tenders. We believe these factors will enable PowerFleet to capture an increasing share of the growing, multi-billion-dollar global industrial IoT market.”
Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Total revenue was $29.4 million, compared to $35.1 million in the same year-ago period. The decrease in revenue was related to the reduction in product revenue from Avis and the impact from COVID-19.
Services revenue was $17.3 million (58.8% of total revenue), compared to $18.7 million (53.2% of total revenue) in the same year-ago period. Product revenue was $12.1 million (41.2% of total revenue), compared to $16.5 million (46.8% of total revenue) in the same year-ago period.
Gross profit was $15.2 million (51.6% of total revenue), compared to $16.6 million (47.4% of total revenue) in the same year-ago period. Service gross profit was $11.2 million (65.0% of total service revenue), compared to $11.6 million (62.3% of total service revenue) in the same year-ago period. Product gross profit was $3.9 million (32.5% of total product revenue), compared to $5.0 million (30.4% of total product revenue) in the same year-ago period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.0 million, compared to $14.7 million in the same year-ago period. Research and development expenses were $2.3 million, compared to $3.0 million in the same year-ago period. The year-over-year decrease in operating expenses reflects the cost savings initiatives implemented in 2020.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders totaled $3.5 million or $(0.12) per basic and diluted share (based on 30.2 million weighted average shares outstanding), compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $5.2 million or $(0.18) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period (based on 28.6 million weighted average shares outstanding). The net loss attributable to common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2020 included $2.0 million in non-cash expense related to foreign currency translation of debt outstanding in local currency at the company’s Israeli subsidiary. Due to this non-cash expense as well as additional gains and losses that may not be indicative of PowerFleet’s core operating results, the company is supplementing its GAAP results with certain non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted share and adjusted EBITDA.
Non-GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $2.0 million or $0.07 per basic and $0.05 per diluted share (based on 30.2 million weighted average basic shares outstanding and 38.1 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding), an improvement compared to non-GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $606,000 or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share (based on 28.6 million weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding) in the same year-ago period (See the section below titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information about non-GAAP net income and its reconciliation to GAAP net income/loss).
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, totaled $3.2 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million in the same year-ago period (See the section below titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information about adjusted EBITDA and its reconciliation to GAAP net income/loss).
At quarter-end, the company had $18.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s working capital position at quarter-end was $28.9 million.

The net loss attributable to common shareholders in the 2020 included $2.1 million in non-cash expense related to foreign currency translation of debt outstanding in local currency at the company’s Israeli subsidiary. Due to this non-cash expense as well as additional gains and losses that may not be indicative of PowerFleet’s core operating results, the company is supplementing its GAAP results with certain non-GAAP measures including non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted share and adjusted EBITDA.
Non-GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $3.7 million or $0.12 per basic and $0.10 per diluted share (based on 29.7 million weighted average basic shares outstanding and 37.1 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding), an improvement compared to non-GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $4.7 million or $(0.23) per basic and diluted share (based on 20.5 million weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding) in 2019 (See the section below titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information about non-GAAP net income and its reconciliation to GAAP net income/loss).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its financial statements presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), PowerFleet provides certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted share and adjusted EBITDA. Reference to these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared under current accounting standards, but are not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of PowerFleet’s current financial performance. Specifically, PowerFleet believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of its core operating results and business outlook. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as an alternate to net income or cash flow from operating activities as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity. Because PowerFleet’s method for calculating the non-GAAP measures may differ from other companies’ methods, the non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliation of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release to the nearest GAAP measures can be found in the financial tables included in this press release.
