Financial Results and Highlights

Revenues

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, Service Revenues were $13.5 million compared to $12.4 million during the same period last year, an increase of $1.1 million, with growth in our existing business, AIS and $0.5 million from acquisitions. The year-over-year increase of 8.9% was impacted by a $0.2 million reduction related to the Yen exchange rate on a constant currency basis in the quarter.

Product Sales during the second quarter of 2013 were $5.0 million compared to $3.9 million during the same period last year. The year-over-year increase of $1.1 million or 29.2% in Product Sales included a 17% increase of $0.4 million in organic Product Sales in Direct Channel and $1.8 million of Product Sales from the acquisitions of GlobalTrak and MobileNet, compensating for lower products sales from Japan of $1.1 million in the quarter that includes an exchange rate impact of $0.2 million on a constant currency basis.

Total Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 were $18.6 million compared to $16.3 million during the same period of 2012, an increase of 13.7% as described above.

Costs and Expenses

Costs and Expenses for the second quarter of 2013 were $17.0 million compared to $13.9 million during the same period in 2012. Costs of Product Sales for the second quarter of 2013 were $4.2 million compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, increasing mostly due to higher Product Sales in the second quarter.

Costs of Services, Product Development, and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses were $12.5 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $11.2 million in the prior year second quarter, an increase of $1.4 million primarily due to additional operating costs from the acquisitions, pursuing follow-on opportunities, and costs in anticipation of the OG2 launches. Acquisition-related Costs were $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2013 and comparable to last year’s second quarter.

Income Before Income Taxes, Net Income, and Earnings Per Share

Income Before Income Taxes for the second quarter of 2013 was $2.0 million compared to $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2012. Income Before Income Taxes was lower than prior year largely for the reasons described above.

Net Income attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. Common Stockholders was $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1.9 million for the similar three-month period in 2012. Basic Earnings Per Share were $0.04 for the second quarter of 2013 versus $0.04 for the second quarter of 2012.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA for the second quarter of 2013 was $3.3 million compared to $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2013 was $3.9 million, or lower by $0.1 million compared to $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2012.

At June 30, 2013, Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Marketable Securities were $80.2 million, compared to $92.8 million at March 31, 2013, decreasing $12.6 million mainly due to a milestone payment made for the OG2 launch in May as well as cash used to acquire the net assets of MobileNet and GlobalTrak in April of 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA	$	3,919		$	4,022		$	7,147	$	8,231

EBITDA is defined as earnings attributable to ORBCOMM Inc. before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. ORBCOMM believes EBITDA is useful to its management and investors in evaluating operating performance because it is one of the primary measures used to evaluate the economic productivity of the Company’s operations, including its ability to obtain and maintain its customers, its ability to operate its business effectively, the efficiency of its employees and the profitability associated with their performance. It also helps ORBCOMM’s management and investors to meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of the Company’s operations from period to period on a consistent basis by removing the impact of its financing transactions and the depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments from its operating results. In addition, ORBCOMM management uses EBITDA in presentations to its 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 the annual operating budget. The Company also believes that EBITDA, adjusted for Stock-based compensation expense, and Noncontrolling interests is useful to investors to evaluate the Company’s core operating results and financial performance and its capacity to fund capital expenditures, because it excludes items that are significant non-cash expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not performance measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. While ORBCOMM considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important measures of operating performance, they 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 and Adjusted EBITDA measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation table is presented above.
