ORBCOMM Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(All amounts in thousands except share amounts, per share amounts or unless otherwise noted)

 

 

1. Organization and Business

ORBCOMM Inc. (“ORBCOMM” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a global wireless data communications company focused on machine-to-machine (“M2M”) communications. The Company’s services are designed to enable businesses and government agencies to track, monitor, and control and communicate with fixed and mobile assets. The Company operates a two-way global wireless data messaging system optimized for narrowband data communication. The Company also provides customers with technology to proactively monitor, manage and remotely control refrigerated transportation and other mobile assets. This technology enables the Company to expand its global technology platform by transferring capabilities across new and existing vertical markets and deliver complementary products to our channel partners and resellers worldwide. The Company provides these services through a constellation of 30 owned low-Earth orbit, or LEO, satellites, one AIS microsatellite and accompanying ground infrastructure, as well as terrestrial-based cellular communication services through reseller agreements with major cellular wireless providers. The addition of SkyWave’s higher bandwidth, low-latency satellite products and services that leverage the IsatDataPro (IDP) technology further expands the breadth of the Company’s solutions portfolio. The Company’s satellite-based system uses small, low power, fixed or mobile satellite subscriber communicators for connectivity, and cellular wireless subscriber identity modules (“SIMS”) that are connected to the cellular wireless providers’ networks, with these systems capable of being connected to other public or private networks, including the Internet (collectively, the “ORBCOMM System”).

 

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as amended. In the opinion of management, the financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 include all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, and investments in variable interest entities in which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The portions of majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company does not own are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Investments

Investments in entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not have a controlling interest are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company considers several factors in determining whether it has the ability to exercise significant influence with respect to investments, including, but not limited to, direct and indirect ownership level in the voting securities, active participation on the board of directors, approval of operating and budgeting decisions and other participatory and protective rights. Under the equity method, the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of such investee is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations. When the Company does not exercise significant influence over the investee, the investment is accounted under the cost method.

Although the Company owns interests in companies that it accounts for pursuant to the equity method, the investments in those entities had no carrying value as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Company has no guarantees or other funding obligations to those entities. The Company had no equity or losses of those investees for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Acquisition-related and integration costs

Acquisition-related and integration costs are expensed as incurred and are presented separately on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. These costs may include professional services expenses and identifiable integration costs directly relating to acquisitions.

8


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has no financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur the Company is required to evaluate the non-financial assets for impairment and any resulting asset impairment would require that a non-financial asset be recorded at the fair value. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement Disclosure,” prioritizes inputs used in measuring fair value into a hierarchy of three levels: Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, note receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying value of the Secured Credit Facilities, as defined below, approximated its fair value as the debt is at variable interest rates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s customers are primarily commercial organizations. Accounts receivable are generally unsecured.

Accounts receivable are due in accordance with payment terms included in contracts negotiated with customers. Amounts due from customers are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts are past due, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations to the Company and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they are deemed uncollectible.

One customer, Hub City Terminals, Inc., comprised 11.0% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.  There were no customers with revenues greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Two customers, Caterpillar Inc. and Komatsu Ltd., comprised 13.5% and 11.6%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and 13.3% and 11.3%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

The following table presents customers with accounts receivable greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable for the periods shown:

As of September 30, 2015, the Company did not maintain in-orbit insurance coverage for its first generation satellites to address the risk of potential systemic anomalies, failures or catastrophic events affecting its satellite constellation. The Company maintains in-orbit insurance coverage over its next-generation satellites, as described in “Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies.”

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company’s inventory consists primarily of finished goods, raw materials and purchased parts to be utilized by its contract manufacturer. The Company reviews inventory quantities on hand and evaluates the realizability of inventories and adjusts the carrying value as necessary based on forecasted product demand. A provision is made for potential losses on obsolete inventories when identified.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

Property and equipment and other long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company measures recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the

9


projected cash flows the assets are expected to generate. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that carrying value exceeds fair value.

Our satellite constellation and related assets, including satellites under construction, are evaluated as a single asset group whenever facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment are identified, recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing their carrying amount to the projected cash flows the assets are expected to generate.

Determining whether an impairment has occurred typically requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including the allocation of cash flows to assets or asset groups and, if required, an estimate of fair value for those assets or asset groups.

If a satellite were to fail during launch or while in-orbit, the resulting loss would be charged to expense in the period it is determined that the satellite is not recoverable. The amount of any such loss would be reduced to the extent of insurance proceeds estimated to be received. An impairment loss of $12,748 related to one of the Company’s in-orbit next-generation (“OG2”) satellites was recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Refer to “Note 6 – Satellite Network and Other Equipment” for more information.

Warranty Costs

The Company accrues for warranty coverage, typically one-year, on product sales estimated at the time of sale based on historical costs to repair or replace products for customers compared to historical product revenues. The warranty accrual is included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Refer to “Note 8 – Accrued Liabilities” for more information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB affirmed its proposal to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year. As a result, the new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. Early adoption prior to the original effective date is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) – Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”), which is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. ASU 2015-03 simplifies financial reporting by eliminating the different presentation requirements for debt issuance costs and debt discounts or premiums. The adoption of this standard, which will be applied retrospectively, will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11 “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”), which is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2015-11 requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The adoption of this standard, which will be applied prospectively, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16 “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement - Period Adjustments” (“ASU 2015-16”), which is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. ASU 2015-16 requires an entity to recognize measurement period adjustments from a business combination within the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The cumulative impact of measurement period adjustments on current and prior periods, including the prior period impact on depreciation, amortization, and other income statement items and their related tax effects, will be required to be recognized in the period the adjustment amount is determined. The adoption of this standard, which will be applied prospectively, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

3. Acquisitions

SkyWave Mobile Communications Inc.

On January 1, 2015, pursuant to an Arrangement Agreement dated November 1, 2014, among the Company, the Company’s acquisition subsidiary, SkyWave Mobile Communications Inc. (“SkyWave”) and the representatives of certain SkyWave shareholders, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of SkyWave for total consideration of $130,203 consisting

10


of (i) $122,373 cash consideration, inclusive of a working capital settlement of $300, of which $10,600 was deposited in escrow in connection with certain indemnification obligations; and (ii) $7,500 in the form of a promissory note settled by the transfer of assets to Inmarsat Global Limited (“Inmarsat”) pursuant to an agreement with Inmarsat (the “SkyWave Acquisition”). The $7,500 note was not considered part of the purchase price for accounting purposes.

Preliminary Estimated Purchase Price Allocation

The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations.” This method requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date (the “Acquisition Method”). The excess of the purchase price over the net assets was recorded as goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation and the estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the one year measurement period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment relating to working capital accounts and deferred tax liabilities, which resulted in a net decrease in goodwill of $969. The total consideration for the SkyWave Acquisition was $122,373 in a debt-free cash-free transaction. The preliminary purchase price allocation for the acquisition, net of the assets transferred to Inmarsat, is as follows:

Intangible Assets

The estimated fair value of the technology and trademark intangible assets was determined using the “relief from royalty method” under the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on the costs savings that are available through ownership of the asset by the avoidance of paying royalties to license the use of the assets from another owner (the “Technology and Trademark Valuation Technique”). The estimated fair value of the customer lists was determined using the “excess earnings method” under the income approach, which represents the total income to be generated by the asset. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include the projected revenue associated with the asset, the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, as well as other factors (the “Customer List Valuation Technique”). The discount rate used to arrive at the present value at the acquisition date of the customer lists, technology and trademarks was 23%. The remaining useful lives of the technology and trademarks were based on historical product development cycles, the projected rate of technology migration and a market participant’s use of these intangible assets and the pattern of projected economic benefit of these intangible assets. The remaining useful lives of customer lists were based on the customer attrition and the projected economic benefit of these customers.

Goodwill

The SkyWave Acquisition furthers the Company’s strategy to provide the most complete set of options and capabilities in the industry. SkyWave’s distribution channels in South America, Asia and the Middle East, along with Inmarsat’s support, provide the Company with a broader global distribution and provides the Company access to new geographies in Eastern Europe and Asia while adding diverse vertical markets such as security and marine. The addition of SkyWave’s higher bandwidth, low-latency satellite products and services that leverage the IsatDataPro (IDP) technology, which is now jointly owned by the Company and Inmarsat, also further expands the breadth of the Company’s solutions portfolio. These factors contributed to a preliminary estimated purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill. In September 2015, the Company reached a conclusion to make the Internal Revenue Code (“IRS”) Section 338(g) election to treat the acquisition as a deemed asset sale. The election has been made prospectively and did not have an impact on the opening balance sheet.

Indemnification Asset

In connection with the Arrangement Agreement, the Company and its acquisition subsidiary entered into an escrow agreement with the representatives of certain SkyWave shareholders and an escrow agent. Under the terms of this escrow agreement, (i) $9,750 was placed in an indemnity escrow account to be held through March 31, 2016 to fund any indemnification obligations to the Company under the Arrangement Agreement; (ii) $850 was placed in a pre-closing tax escrow account through the date on which all applicable statutes of limitations (as the same may be extended or waived) for each pre-closing tax period ending on or after June 30, 2009 have expired to fund any indemnification obligations to the Company against any pre-close tax liabilities due; and (iii) $503 was placed in a working capital escrow account to fund any working capital obligations as described under the Arrangement Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company and the representative of the SkyWave shareholders agreed to a working capital settlement of $300, as well as tax liability settlements totaling $330, reducing the purchase price to $122,373.

Unaudited Pro Forma Results of Operation

The following table presents the unaudited pro forma consolidated operating results for the Company, as though the SkyWave Acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the prior annual reporting period. The unaudited pro forma results reflect certain adjustments related to past operating performance, the impact of the debt issued, acquisition costs and acquisition accounting adjustments, such as increased depreciation and amortization expense based on the fair valuation of assets acquired and the related tax effects. The pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies which may be achievable subsequent to the acquisition date. Accordingly, such pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future operating results of the combined company:

InSync, Inc.

On January 16, 2015, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company, IDENTEC Group AG (“IDENTEC” or the “Seller”) and InSync Software, Inc. (“InSync”), the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of InSync from IDENTEC for an aggregate consideration of (i) $11,100 in cash, comprised of various components and subject to net working capital adjustments, of which $1,320 was deposited in escrow in connection with certain indemnification obligations; and (ii) additional contingent consideration of up to $5,000 (the “InSync Acquisition”).

Preliminary Estimated Purchase Price Allocation

The transaction has been accounted for using the Acquisition Method. The excess of the purchase price over the net assets was recorded as goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation and the estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the one year measurement period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment related to the intangible asset valuation and other working capital accounts, which resulted in an increase in goodwill of $134. The total consideration for the InSync Acquisition was $11,642 in a debt-free cash-

Contingent Consideration

Additional consideration is conditionally due to the Seller upon achievement of certain financial milestones. The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligation is determined using Level 3 unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on our own assumptions. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on the Company’s preliminary estimates using the probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach. The Company recorded a reduction of the contingent liability of $25 and $542 in Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.  

Intangible Assets

The estimated fair value of the technology and trademark intangible assets was determined using Technology and Trademark Valuation Technique. The estimated fair value of the customer lists was determined using the Customer List Valuation Technique. The discount rate used to arrive at the present value at the acquisition date of the customer lists, technology and trademarks was 15%. The remaining useful lives of the technology and trademarks were based on historical product development cycles, the projected rate of technology migration and a market participant’s use of these intangible assets and the pattern of projected economic benefit of these intangible assets. The remaining useful lives of customer lists were based on the customer attrition and the projected economic benefit of these customers.

Indemnification Asset

In connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into an escrow agreement with the Seller and an escrow agent.  Under the terms of the agreement, $1,320 was placed in an escrow account through April 16, 2016 to fund any indemnification obligations to the Company under the Share Purchase Agreement.

Euroscan Holding B.V.

On March 11, 2014, pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company and MWL Management B.V., R.Q. Management B.V., WBB GmbH, ING Corporate Investments Participaties B.V. and Euroscan Holding B.V., as sellers (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding equity of Euroscan Holding B.V., including, indirectly, its wholly-owned subsidiaries Euroscan B.V., Euroscan GmbH Vertrieb Technischer Geräte, Euroscan Technology Ltd. and Ameriscan, Inc. (collectively, the “Euroscan Group” or “Euroscan”) for an aggregate consideration of (i) $29,163, inclusive of net working capital adjustments and net cash (on a debt free, cash free basis); (ii) issuance of 291,230 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $7.70 per share, which reflected the Company’s closing price on the acquisition date; and (iii) additional contingent considerations of up to $6,547 (the “Euroscan Acquisition”). The Euroscan Acquisition allows the Company to complement its North American operations in M2M by adding significant distribution channel in Europe and other key geographies where Euroscan has market share.

Contingent Consideration

Additional consideration is conditionally due to MWL Management B.V. and R.Q. Management B.V. upon achievement of financial and operational milestones. The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligation is determined using Level 3 unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on our own assumptions. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on the Company’s preliminary estimates using the probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company recorded $715 and $989, respectively, in accrued expenses and $1,882 and $2,663, respectively, in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company recorded a reduction in the contingent liability of $316 in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015. In addition, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, charges of $76 and $252, respectively, were recorded in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for accretion associated with the contingent consideration.

For the periods indicated the expected volatility was based on the Company’s historical volatility over the expected terms of SAR awards. Estimated forfeitures were based on voluntary and involuntary termination behavior, as well as analysis of actual forfeitures. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of the grant over the expected term of the SAR grants.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $1,044 and $695 related to these RSUs, respectively. As of September 30, 2015, $549 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to these RSUs is expected to be recognized through March 2016.

The fair values of the time-based and performance-based RSU awards are based upon the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

Performance Units

The Company grants Market Performance Units (“MPUs”) to its senior executives based on stock price performance over a three-year period measured on December 31 for each performance period. The MPUs will vest at the end of each performance period only if the Company satisfies the stock price performance targets and continued employment by the senior executives through the dates the

16


Compensation Committee has determined that the targets have been achieved. The value of the MPUs that will be earned each year ranges up to 15% of each of the senior executives’ annual base salaries depending on the Company’s stock price performance target for that year. The value of the MPUs can be paid in either cash or common stock or a combination at the Company’s option. The MPUs are classified as a liability and are revalued at the end of each reporting period based on the awards fair value over a three-year period.

As the MPUs contain both a performance and service condition, the MPUs have been treated as a series of three separate awards, or tranches, for purposes of recognizing stock-based compensation expense. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a tranche-by-tranche basis over the requisite service period for that specific tranche. The Company estimated the fair value of the MPUs using a Monte Carlo Simulation Model that used the following assumptions:

2004 Stock Option Plan

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, 50,000 stock options were exercised at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.88 per share and a total intrinsic value of $55. There are no stock options outstanding and available for exercise as of September 30, 2015.

 

 

5. Net Income (Loss) Attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders

The Company accounts for earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”) and related guidance, which requires two calculations of EPS to be disclosed: basic and diluted. The numerator in calculating basic and diluted EPS is an amount equal to the net income (loss) attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. common stockholders for the periods presented. The denominator in calculating basic EPS is the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective periods. The denominator in calculating diluted EPS is the weighted average shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of stock option grants, unvested SAR and RSU grants and shares of Series A convertible preferred stock for the respective periods. The following sets forth the basic and diluted calculations of EPS for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

10. Note Payable-Related Party

In connection with the acquisition of a majority interest in Satcom in 2005, the Company recorded an indebtedness to OHB Technology A.G. (formerly known as OHB Teledata A.G.), a stockholder of the Company. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the principal balance of the note payable was €1,138 and it had a carrying value of $1,275 and $1,389, respectively. The carrying value was based on the note’s estimated fair value at the time of acquisition. The difference between the carrying value and principal balance was being amortized to interest expense over the estimated life of the note of six years which ended in September 30, 2011. This note does not bear interest and has no fixed repayment term. Repayment will be made from the distribution

20


profits, as defined in the note agreement, of ORBCOMM Europe LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The note has been classified as long-term and the Company does not expect any repayments to be required prior to September 30, 2016.

 

 

11. Note Payable

Secured Credit Facilities

On September 30, 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Macquarie CAF LLC (“Macquarie” or the “Lender”) in order to refinance the Company’s Senior Notes. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lender provided secured credit facilities (the “Secured Credit Facilities”) in an aggregate amount of $160,000 comprised of (i) a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $70,000 (the “Initial Term Loan Facility”); (ii) a $10,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”); (iii) a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $10,000 (the “Term B2 Facility”), the proceeds of which were drawn and used on January 16, 2015 to finance the InSync Acquisition; and (iv) a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $70,000 (the “Term B3 Facility”), the proceeds of which were used on January 1, 2015 to partially finance the SkyWave Acquisition. Proceeds of the Initial Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility were funded on October 10, 2014 and were used to repay in full the Company’s Senior Notes and pay certain related fees, expenses and accrued interest, as well as for general corporate purposes.

The Secured Credit Facilities mature five years after the initial fund date of the Initial Term Loan Facility (the “Maturity Date”), but are subject to mandatory prepayments in certain circumstances. The Secured Credit Facilities will bear interest, at the Company’s election, of a per annum rate equal to either (a) a base rate plus 3.75% or (b) LIBOR plus 4.75%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%.

The Secured Credit Facilities will be secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets. Subject to the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Company may make optional prepayments on the Secured Credit Facilities at any time prior to the Maturity Date. The remaining principal balance is due on the Maturity Date.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, conditions to funding, covenants and events of default. The covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement include, among other things, prohibitions on the Company and its subsidiaries against incurring certain indebtedness and investments (other than permitted acquisitions and other exceptions as specified therein), providing certain guarantees and incurring certain liens. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes a leverage ratio and consolidated liquidity covenant, as defined, whereby the Company is permitted to have a maximum consolidated leverage ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of up to 5.00 to 1.00 and a minimum consolidated liquidity of $7,500 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. The Credit Agreement provides for certain events of default, the occurrence of which could result in the acceleration of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.

In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, and the subsequent funding of the Initial Term Loan Facility, Revolving Credit Facility, Term B2 Facility and the Term B3 Facility, the Company incurred approximately $4,721 of debt issuance costs. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, amortization of the debt issuance costs was $106 and $345, respectively. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company capitalized $1,138 and $3,550, respectively, of interest expense and amortization of the debt issuance costs associated with the Initial Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility to construction of the next-generation satellites. The Company recorded charges of $1,332 and $3,906 to interest expense on its statement of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, related to interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs associated with the Term B2 and Term B3 Facilities.

At September 30, 2015, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. The net availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $10,000.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

$45,000 9.5% Senior Notes

On January 4, 2013, the Company issued $45,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes (“Senior Notes”) due January 4, 2018. Interest was payable quarterly at a rate of 9.5% per annum. The Senior Notes were secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets. The covenants in the Senior Notes limited the Company’s ability to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness and liens; (ii) sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of the Company’s or subsidiaries assets; or (iii) merge or consolidate with other companies. The Company was also required to obtain launch and one year in-orbit insurance for the next-generation satellites under the terms of the Senior Notes. The Company was also required to comply with a maintenance covenant of either having available liquidity of $10,000 (the sum of (a) cash and cash equivalents plus (b) the total amount available to be borrowed under a working capital facility) or a leverage ratio (consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA, adjusted for stock-based compensation, certain other non-cash items and other agreed upon other charges) of not more than

21


4.5 to 1.0. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company incurred approximately $1,390 of debt issuance costs, to be amortized through January 4, 2018. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, amortization of the debt issuance costs was $66 and $202, respectively. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company capitalized all of the interest expense and amortization of the debt issuance costs to construction of the next-generation satellites. The Senior Notes were redeemed in full on October 10, 2014.

 

 

12. Stockholders’ Equity

Series A convertible preferred stock

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company issued dividends in the amount of 2,734 preferred shares to the holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock. As of September 30, 2015, dividends in arrears were $9.

Common Stock

In January 2015, the Company issued 54,801 shares of its common stock as form of payment in connection with MPUs for achieving the fiscal year 2013 and 2014 stock performance target.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company has reserved 7,702,729 shares of common stock for future issuances related to employee stock compensation plans.

 

 

13. Segment Information

The Company operates in one reportable segment, M2M data communications. Other than satellites in orbit, goodwill and intangible assets, long-lived assets outside of the United States are not significant. The Company’s foreign exchange exposure is limited as approximately 97% of the Company’s consolidated revenue is collected in US dollars. The following table summarizes revenues on a percentage basis by geographic regions, based on the country in which the customer is located.

14. Income taxes

For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s income tax provision was $221, compared to $145 for the prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s income tax provision was $312, compared to $745 for the prior year period. The change in the income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is primarily related to a change in the geographical mix of income which decreased taxable non-U.S. earnings before income taxes when compared to the prior year period. If the Company’s current estimates change in future periods, the impact on the deferred tax assets and liabilities may change correspondingly.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company maintained a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets primarily attributable to operations in the United States, as the realization of such assets was not considered more likely than not.

There were no changes to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Company does not expect any significant changes to its unrecognized tax positions during the next twelve months.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Next-generation satellite procurement

On May 5, 2008, the Company entered into a procurement agreement with SNC pursuant to which SNC is constructing eighteen LEO satellites in three sets of satellites (“shipsets”) for the Company’s next-generation satellites (the “Initial Satellites”). Under the agreement, SNC is also providing launch support services, a test satellite (excluding the mechanical structure), a satellite software simulator and the associated ground support equipment.

The total contract price for the Initial Satellites under the procurement agreement is $117,000, subject to reduction upon failure to achieve certain in-orbit operational milestones with respect to the Initial Satellites or if the pre-ship reviews of each shipset are delayed more than 60-120 days after the specified time periods described below. The Company has agreed to pay SNC up to $1,500 in incentive payments for the successful operation of the Initial Satellites five years following the successful completion of in-orbit testing for the third shipset of eight satellites.

On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into two additional task order agreements with SNC in connection with the procurement agreement discussed above. Under the terms of the launch vehicle changes task order agreement, SNC will perform the activities to launch eighteen of the Company’s next-generation satellites on a SpaceX Falcon 1e or Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The total price for the launch activities is cost reimbursable up to $4,110 and the contract is cancelable by the Company, less a credit of $1,528. Under the terms of the engineering change requests and enhancements task order agreement, SNC will design and make changes to each of the next-generation satellites in order to accommodate an additional payload-to-bus interface. The total price for the engineering changes requests is cost reimbursable up to $317. Both task order agreements are payable monthly as the services are performed, provided that with respect to the launch vehicle changes task order agreement, the credit in the amount of $1,528 will first be deducted against amounts accrued thereunder until the entire balance is expended.

On August 23, 2011, the Company and SNC entered into a definitive First Amendment to the procurement agreement (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment amends certain terms of the procurement agreement and supplements or amends five separate task order agreements, between May 20, 2010 and December 15, 2010 (“Task Orders #1-5”). Between July 3, 2012 and April 18, 2014, the Company and SNC entered into five additional task order agreements for additional cost up to $2,700.

The First Amendment modifies the milestone payment schedule under the procurement agreement dated May 5, 2008 but does not change the total contract price (excluding optional satellites and costs under the Original Task Orders) of $117,000. Payments under the First Amendment extended into the second quarter of 2014, subject to SNC’s successful completion of each payment milestone. The First Amendment also settles the liquidated delay damages triggered under the procurement agreement and provides an ongoing mechanism for the Company to obtain pricing proposals to order up to thirty optional satellites substantially identical to the Initial Satellites for which firm fixed pricing previously had expired under the procurement agreement dated May 5, 2008. The Company anticipates $3,900 in total liquidated delay damages will be available to offset milestone and task order payments.

On March 20, 2014, the Company and SNC entered into a definitive Second Amendment to the procurement agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment amends certain terms of the procurement agreement dated May 5, 2008, as amended by the First Amendment and supplemented by nine separate Task Orders entered into prior to that date (collectively, “Task Orders #1-9”). The Second Amendment modifies the number of satellites in each shipset to reflect the actual number of satellites to be launched in each of the two missions. The Second Amendment also modifies the payment milestone schedule under the First Amendment but does not change the total contract price (excluding optional satellites and costs under Task Orders #1-9) of $117,000.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company has made milestone payments of $11,472 to SNC under the procurement agreement. The Company anticipates making additional payments of approximately $21,450 under the agreement during the remainder of 2015.

On September 21, 2012, SpaceX and the Company entered into a Secondary Payload Launch Services Agreement totaling $4,000 of the original $46,600 to launch the next-generation prototype which occurred on October 7, 2012.

On December 21, 2012, the Company and SpaceX entered into a Launch Services Agreement (the “Falcon 9 Agreement”) pursuant to which SpaceX will provide launch services (the “Launch Services”) for the carriage into LEO of up to 17 ORBCOMM next-generation satellites. Under the Falcon 9 Agreement, SpaceX will also provide to the Company satellite-to-launch vehicle integration and launch support services, as well as certain related optional services. The total price under the Falcon 9 Agreement (excluding any optional services) is $42,600 subject to certain adjustments, which reflects pricing agreed under the 2009 agreement for Launch Services. The amounts due under the Falcon 9 Agreement are payable by the Company in installments from the date of execution of the Falcon 9 Agreement through the performance of each Launch Service.

The Falcon 9 Agreement anticipated that the Launch Services for 17 Satellites would be performed by the second quarter of 2014, subject to certain rights of ORBCOMM and SpaceX to reschedule the Launch Services as needed. Either the Company or SpaceX

23


may postpone and reschedule either Launch Service based on satellite and launch vehicle readiness, among other factors, subject to the payment of certain fees by the party requesting or causing the delay following 6 months of delay with respect to either of the two Launch Services.

Both the Company and SpaceX have customary termination rights under the Falcon 9 Agreement, including for material breaches and aggregate delays beyond 365 days by the other party. The Company has the right to terminate either of the Launch Services subject to the payment of a termination fee in an amount that would be based on the date ORBCOMM exercises its termination right.

On July 14, 2014, the Company launched six of its OG2 satellites aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The OG2 satellites were separated from the Falcon 9 vehicle into orbit. On September 15, 2014, following an in-orbit testing period, the Company initiated commercial service for the six OG2 satellites. The satellites provide both M2M messaging and AIS service for its global customers.

On April 13, 2015, the Company and SpaceX entered into Amendment #1 to the Falcon 9 Agreement (the “First LSA Amendment”).  The First LSA Amendment amends certain terms of the Falcon 9 Agreement dated December 21, 2012 applicable to the second launch period including (i) the milestone payment schedule related to the second launch, but does not change the total contract price of $42,600 and (ii) establishing a launch window for the second launch, as well as modifying other terms and conditions relating to the second launch as originally set forth in the Falcon 9 Agreement.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company made milestone payments of $5,325 under the Falcon 9 Agreement. The Company anticipates making additional payments of approximately $1,065 under the agreement.

In April 2014, the Company obtained launch and one year in-orbit insurance for the OG2 satellite program. For the first launch of six satellites, the Company obtained (i) a maximum total of $66,000 of launch plus one year in-orbit insurance coverage; and (ii) $22,000 of launch vehicle flight only insurance coverage (“Launch One”). The total premium cost for Launch One was $9,953. For the second launch of eleven satellites, the Company obtained (i) a maximum total of $120,000 of launch plus one year in-orbit insurance coverage; and (ii) $22,000 of launch vehicle flight only insurance coverage (“Launch Two”). The total premium cost for Launch Two is $16,454. In April 2014, the Company paid the total premium for Launch One and 5% of the total premium for Launch Two, with the balance of the premium cost for Launch Two becoming due 30 days prior to the scheduled launch of the second mission. The majority of the premium payments are recorded as satellite network and other equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015. The Launch One coverage took effect on July 14, 2014, following the launch and insertion of the first six satellites into orbit.

The policy contains a three satellite deductible across both missions under the launch plus one-year insurance coverage whereby claims are payable in excess of the first three satellites in the aggregate for both Launch One and Launch Two combined that are total losses or constructive total losses. The launch vehicle only coverage requires the loss of all satellites on the applicable mission as a result of the launch vehicle flight in order to collect under that portion of the insurance policy. The policy is also subject to specified exclusions and material change limitations customary in the industry. These exclusions include losses resulting from war, anti-satellite devices, insurrection, terrorist acts, government confiscation, radioactive contamination, electromagnetic interference, loss of revenue and third party liability.

In June 2015, the Company lost communication with one of its in-orbit OG2 satellites. The Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $12,748 on the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the quarter ended June 30, 2015 to write off the net book value of the satellite.  In addition, the Company decreased satellite network and other equipment and the associated accumulated depreciation on the condensed consolidated balance sheet by $13,788 and $1,040, respectively.

We have notified our in-orbit insurers that the loss of the OG2 satellite may result in a constructive total loss of that satellite. Under the insurance terms mentioned above, this satellite will be the first of the three satellite deductible in the aggregate for both Launch One and Launch Two, under which no claim is payable.

On July 14, 2015, the Company obtained an additional one year in-orbit insurance for the five OG2 satellites currently in-orbit for a maximum total of $40,000. The additional in-orbit coverage took effect on July 15, 2015, following the end of the coverage period for the initial launch and one year in-orbit insurance. The policy contains a one satellite deductible across the five in-orbit OG2 satellites whereby claims are payable in excess of the first satellite that is a total loss or constructive total loss. The policy is also subject to a specific exclusion for losses that have resulted from an anomaly with the same signatures as the initial OG2 satellite loss. There are other specified exclusions and material change limitations customary in the industry which include losses resulting from war, antisatellite devices, insurrection, terrorist acts, government confiscation, radioactive contamination, electromagnetic interference, loss of revenue and third party liability.

Airtime credits

In 2001, in connection with the organization of ORBCOMM Europe and the reorganization of the ORBCOMM business in Europe, the Company agreed to grant certain country representatives in Europe approximately $3,736 in airtime credits. The Company has not recorded the airtime credits as a liability for the following reasons: (i) the Company has no obligation to pay the unused airtime credits if they are not utilized; and (ii) the airtime credits are earned by the country representatives only when the Company generates revenue from the country representatives. The airtime credits have no expiration date. Accordingly, the Company is recording airtime credits as services are rendered and these airtime credits are recorded net of revenues from the country representatives. For the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 airtime credits used totaled approximately $7 and $8, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 airtime credits used totaled approximately $22 and $23, respectively. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014 unused credits granted by the Company were approximately $2,045 and $2,074, respectively.

 

 

16. Subsequent Events

On October 6, 2015, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of WAM Technologies, LLC (“WAM”), for a purchase price of $8,500, subject to net working capital adjustments, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into on October 5, 2015. WAM is a leading provider of remote wireless management and control solutions for ocean transport refrigerated containers and related intermodal equipment on a global basis. The Company will account for this acquisition using the Acquisition Method.

We may use this shelf registration statement at any time or from time to time to offer, in one or more offerings, our debt securities, shares of our common stock, shares of our preferred stock, warrants to purchase our debt securities, common stock or preferred stock or units consisting of any combination of the foregoing securities. The shelf registration statement, which was declared effective on April 14, 2015, also registered the resale of up to 3,910,433 shares of common stock by a selling shareholder, all of which were sold on August 19, 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources are based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, accounting for business combinations, goodwill, satellite network and other equipment, long-lived assets, capitalized development costs, income taxes, warranty costs, loss contingencies and the value of securities underlying stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from our estimates and could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates see Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during 2015.

Revenues

We derive service revenues from the utilization of communicators and the utilization of SIMS on the cellular providers’ wireless networks by its customers (i.e., its VARs, IVARs, international licensees and country representatives and direct customers). These service revenues generally consist of subscriber-based and recurring monthly usage fees and a one-time activation fee for each communicator or SIM activated for use. Usage fees are generally based upon the number, size and frequency of data transmitted by a customer and the overall number of communicators and SIMS activated by each customer. Revenues for usage fees from currently billing communicators and SIMS are recognized on an accrual basis, as services are rendered, or on a cash basis, if collection from the customer is not reasonably assured at the time the service is provided. Usage fees charged to our resellers and direct customers are charged primarily on the overall number of communicators activated by them and the total amount of data transmitted. We also earn service revenues from extended warranty service agreements extending beyond the initial warranty period of one year, royalty fees from third parties for the use of our proprietary communications protocol charged on a one-time basis for each communicator connected to our M2M data communications system and fees from providing engineering, technical and management support services to customers.

We derive product revenues primarily from sales of subscriber communicators to our resellers (i.e., our VARs, IVARs, international licensees and country representatives) and direct customers. We also sell cellular wireless SIMS (for our terrestrial-communication services) to our resellers and direct customers. Revenues generated from product revenues are either recognized when the products are shipped or when customers accept the product depending on the specific contractual terms.

Shipping costs billed to customers are included in product sales revenues and the related costs are included as costs of product sales.  Amounts received prior to the performance of services under customer contracts are recognized as deferred revenues and revenue recognition is deferred until such time that all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

The table below presents our revenues for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, together with the percentage of total revenue represented by each revenue category in (in thousands):

The increase in service revenues for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to revenue generated from increases in our core service revenues and by the companies we acquired in 2015.

As of September 30, 2015, we had approximately 1,330,000 billable subscriber communicators compared to approximately 937,000 billable subscriber communicators as of September 30, 2014, an increase of 41.9%.

The increase in depreciation and amortization for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 is primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in our acquisitions, as well as additional depreciation expense associated with the next-generation OG2 satellites placed into service on September 15, 2014.

Impairment loss – satellite network

In June 2015, we lost communication with one of our in-orbit OG2 satellites. As a result, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $12.7 million on the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the quarter ended June 30, 2015 to write off the net book value of the satellite.

Other income (expense) is comprised primarily of interest expense, foreign exchange gains and losses and interest income from our cash and cash equivalents, which consists of U.S. Treasuries and interest bearing instruments.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, other expense was ($1.3) million, comprising primarily of interest expense of ($1.3) million relating to our Secured Credit Facilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, other expense was ($3.4) million, comprising primarily of interest expense of ($3.9) million relating to our Secured Credit Facilities, offset, in part, by interest income of $0.2 million and foreign exchange gains of $0.2 million.

For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, other income was $0.1 million.

Income (loss) before income taxes

The change in the income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is primarily related to a change in the geographical mix of income which decreased taxable non-U.S. earnings before income taxes when compared to the prior year period. If our current estimates change in future periods, the impact on the deferred tax assets and liabilities may change correspondingly.

As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, we maintained a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets primarily attributable to operations in the United States as the realization of such assets was not considered more likely than not.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our liquidity requirements arise from our working capital needs, our ability to make scheduled payments of interest on our indebtedness, to fund capital expenditures to support our current operations and to facilitate growth and expansion. We have financed our operations and expansion with cash flows from operating activities, sales of our common stock through public offerings and private placements of debt. At September 30, 2015, we have an accumulated deficit of $81.7 million. Our primary source of liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $59.7 million, cash flows from operating activities and additional funds from the Credit Agreement entered into on September 30, 2014 and our public offering of shares of common stock announced

31


on November 7, 2014, which we believe will be sufficient to provide working capital, support capital expenditures and facilitate growth and expansion for the next twelve months.

Cash used in our investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $69.9 million, resulting primarily from capital expenditures of $41.9 million and $28.9 million in cash consideration paid in connection with our acquisition of Euroscan.

Financing activities

Cash used in our financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $1.8 million, resulting primarily from payments of contingent consideration of $1.1 million in connection with our previous acquisitions.

Cash provided by our financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $36.5 million, primarily due to net proceeds received from our January 2014 public offering.

Future Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements

We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash along with cash flows from operating activities and additional funds from the Credit Agreement entered into on September 30, 2014 and our public offering of shares of common stock announced on November 7, 2014 will be sufficient over the next 12 months to provide working capital, cover interest payments on our debt facilities, acquisitions and capital expenditures that primarily include the deployment of the next-generation satellites.

On September 30, 2014, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Macquarie CAF LLC (“Macquarie” or the “Lender”) in order to refinance our Senior Notes. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lender provided secured credit facilities (“the Secured Credit Facilities”) in an aggregate amount of $160 million comprised of (i) a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $70 million (the “Initial Term Loan Facility”); (ii) a $10 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”); (iii) a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $10 million (the “Term B2 Facility”), the proceeds of which were drawn and used to finance the InSync Acquisition; and (iv) a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $70 million (the “Term B3 Facility”), the proceeds of which were used to partially finance the SkyWave Acquisition. Proceeds of the Initial Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility were used to repay in full our Senior Notes and pay certain related fees, expenses and accrued interest, as well as for general corporate purposes.

The Secured Credit Facilities mature five years after the initial fund date of the Initial Term Loan Facility (the “Maturity Date”), but are subject to mandatory prepayments in certain circumstances. The Secured Credit Facilities will bear interest, at our election, of a per annum rate equal to either (a) a base rate plus 3.75% or (b) LIBOR plus 4.75%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%.

The Secured Credit Facilities will be secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets and our subsidiaries’ assets. Subject to the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement, we may make optional prepayments on the Secured Credit Facilities at any time prior to the Maturity Date. The remaining principal balance is due on the Maturity Date.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, conditions to funding, covenants and events of default. The covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement include, among other things, prohibitions on the Company and our subsidiaries against incurring certain indebtedness and investments (other than permitted acquisitions and other exceptions as specified therein), providing certain guarantees and incurring certain liens. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes a leverage ratio and consolidated liquidity covenant, as defined, whereby we are permitted to have a maximum consolidated leverage ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of up to 5.00 to 1.00 and a minimum consolidated liquidity of $7.5 million as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. The Credit Agreement provides for certain events of default, the occurrence of which could result in the acceleration of our obligations under the Credit Agreement.

On October 10, 2014, under the Credit Agreement, we borrowed $70 million under the Initial Term Loan Facility, a portion of which was used, to repay in full our Senior Notes, and $10 million under the Revolving Credit Facility.

On December 30, 2014, under the Credit Agreement, we borrowed $70 million under the Term B3 Facility to fund the SkyWave Acquisition, as described below.

On January 16, 2015, under the Credit Agreement, we borrowed $10 million under the Term B2 Facility to fund the InSync Acquisition, as described below.

On April 4, 2014 we filed a Form S-3 shelf registration statement registering $100 million of our securities, of which we have approximately $17.2 million was remaining following the November 2014 Public Offering, as described below. The shelf registration statement was declared effective on April 9, 2014.

On November 10, 2014, we completed our a public offering of 14,785,714 shares of common stock, including 1,928,571 shares sold upon full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a price of $5.60 per share, under our effective shelf registration filed on April 4, 2014, as described above (the “November 2014 Public Offering”). We received net proceeds of approximately $78.1 million after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions and offering costs.

On January 1, 2015, we acquired all of the outstanding shares in the capital of SkyWave by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), pursuant to an arrangement agreement dated as of November 1, 2014 among us, our acquisition subsidiary, SkyWave and the representative of certain SkyWave shareholders (the “Arrangement”). The aggregate purchase price paid under the arrangement agreement for 100% of SkyWave’s outstanding shares was $130.2 million, subject to certain adjustments. We acquired SkyWave on a cash-free debt-free basis. From the Purchase Price, $7.5 million was paid to Inmarsat Canada Holdings Inc., a subsidiary of Inmarsat, in the form of a promissory note in exchange for a portion of its interest in SkyWave. The promissory note provided an off-set for the $7.5 million paid by Inmarsat under the agreement with Inmarsat. In connection with the Arrangement, our acquisition subsidiary and the Shareholder Representative entered into an Escrow Agreement with an escrow agent, pursuant to which $10.6 million was held in escrow to cover certain SkyWave indemnity obligations. We funded the SkyWave Acquisition using existing cash on our balance sheet, our borrowings under our Term B3 Facility of the Credit Agreement and net proceeds from the November 2014 Public Offering, as described above.

On January 16, 2015, we purchased all the issued and outstanding stock of InSync from IDENTEC for a cash consideration of $11.1 million, subject to net working capital adjustments, and additional contingent consideration of up to $5.0 million, subject to certain operational milestones. We funded the InSync Acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and our borrowings under our Term B2 Facility of the Credit Agreement, as described above.

In April 2015, we filed a Form S-3 shelf registration statement registering our securities for a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of $200 million (including approximately $17.2 million previously remaining available under our 2014 shelf registration statement described above). We may use this shelf registration statement at any time or from time to time to offer, in one or more offerings, our debt securities, shares of our common stock, shares of our preferred stock, warrants to purchase our debt securities, common stock or preferred stock or units consisting of any combination of the foregoing securities. The shelf registration statement, which was declared effective on April 14, 2015, also registered the resale of up to 3,910,433 shares of common stock by a selling shareholder, all of which were sold on August 19, 2015.

At September 30, 2015, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. The net availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $10.0 million.

Debt Covenants

As of September 30, 2015, we were in compliance with our covenants of the Secured Credit Facilities.

EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as earnings attributable to ORBCOMM Inc., before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is useful to our management and investors in evaluating our operating performance because it is one of the primary measures we use to evaluate the economic productivity of our operations, including our ability to obtain and maintain our customers, our ability to operate our business effectively, the efficiency of our employees and the profitability associated with their performance. It also helps our management and investors to meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period on a consistent basis by removing the impact of our financing transactions and the depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments from our operating results. In addition, our management uses EBITDA in presentations to our 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 our annual operating budget.

EBITDA is not a performance measure calculated in accordance GAAP. While we consider EBITDA to be an important measure of operating performance, it 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 measures presented by other companies.

The following table reconciles our net income (loss) to EBITDA for the periods shown:

For the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014, EBITDA increased $6.8 million, or 263.5% while net income increased $1.6 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, EBITDA increased $1.8 million, or 22.2%, while net income decreased $14.4 million. The rate of increase for EBITDA compared to net income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the prior year period primarily reflects higher amortization of finite-lived intangible assets as a result of the SkyWave Acquisition, additional depreciation associated with the six next-generation satellites placed into service September 15, 2014 and increased interest expense associated with additional notes payable outstanding during 2015.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2015, as previously disclosed in our Annual Report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

There has been no material changes in our assessment of our sensitivity to market risk as of September 30, 2015, as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks” in our Annual Report.

Concentration of credit risk

One customer, Hub City Terminals, Inc., comprised 11.0% of our consolidated total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.  There were no customers with revenues greater than 10% of our consolidated total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Two customers, Caterpillar Inc. and Komatsu Ltd., comprised 13.5% and 11.6%, respectively, of our total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and 13.3% and 11.3%, respectively, of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Item 4. Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of September 30, 2015. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2015.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

We reviewed our internal control over financial reporting at September 30, 2015. As a result of the SkyWave Acquisition and InSync Acquisition we have begun to integrate certain business processes and systems of SkyWave and InSync. Accordingly, certain changes have been made and will continue to be made to our internal controls over financial reporting until such time as this integration is complete. In reliance on interpretive guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) staff, management has chosen to exclude disclosure of changes in internal control over financial reporting related to SkyWave and InSync for the year ending December 31, 2015.

There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in an evaluation thereof that occurred during the third quarter of 2015 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
