Exhibit 99.1
CalAmp Reports Fiscal 2014 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results
Company achieves record fiscal
2014 revenue of $236 million
driven by 34% increase in Wireless Datacom
sales
OXNARD, CA, April 24, 2014 -- CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless products, services and solutions, today reported results for its fourth quarter and full year ended February 28, 2014. Highlights for the quarter and fiscal year include:
Commenting on the fiscal 2014 full year results, Michael Burdiek, CalAmp's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, Fiscal 2014 was highlighted by strong growth in our core markets, strategic M&A activity and focused operational execution that together resulted in a strong period of expansion for CalAmp. At the top line, we achieved consolidated revenue growth of 31% year-over-year to record revenues of $236 million. Our performance was driven by a 34% increase in Wireless Datacom segment revenues due to strong demand from our core domestic customers, as well as growth in international revenue, which reached 19.0% of consolidated revenues as compared to 17.8% in the prior year. Our Satellite segment results were strong with year-over-year revenue growth of 19% coupled with significant gross margin improvement. We continue to see strong Wireless Datacom order pipeline, both in our core verticals and in emerging opportunities for auto insurance telematics and heavy equipment, which is expected to drive significant growth in fiscal 2015 and beyond.
Commenting on the fourth quarter performance, Mr. Burdiek stated, Our fourth quarter results included a 32% year-over-year increase in our Wireless Datacom segment revenues and included increasing contributions from auto insurance telematics where demand continues to ramp. However, performance issues on the part of a contract manufacturer that we inherited with the Navman Wireless product line acquisition prevented us from shipping approximately $2 million in product orders in the fourth quarter. Also in the fourth quarter, we made a small strategic acquisition of Radio Satellite Integrators that is expected to expand our presence in the state and local government market by augmenting our current range of public safety products with high margin, Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions. For fiscal 2014 as a whole, recurring revenue including SaaS subscriptions accounted for about 16% of consolidated sales.

Fiscal 2014 Fourth Quarter
Results
Total revenue for the fiscal 2014
fourth quarter was $59.8 million compared to $48.4 million for the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2013, an increase of 24%. Wireless Datacom revenue increased
to $49.2 million from $37.3 million in the same period last year, and Satellite
revenue was $10.6 million compared to $11.1 million in the fourth quarter last
year.
Consolidated gross profit for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter was $20.6 million, an increase of $5.6 million over the same quarter last year, primarily attributable to higher revenue. The consolidated gross margin was 34.4% in the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter, up from 31.1% in the fourth quarter last year. The increase in consolidated gross margin is due primarily to the contribution of the higher margin Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) revenue from the Wireless Matrix acquisition and margin improvement in the Satellite segment.
GAAP net income for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter was $3.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to net income of $32.6 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of last year that included an income tax benefit of $29.2 million from eliminating the deferred tax asset valuation allowance associated with net operating loss (NOL) and tax credit carryforwards. Excluding this income tax benefit, and applying the same effective tax rate to last years fourth quarter that applied to the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter, pro forma GAAP-basis net income in the 2013 fourth quarter was $2.3 million or $0.07 per diluted share. Notwithstanding the fact that beginning in fiscal 2014 the Companys GAAP-basis effective tax rate approximates the US federal statutory tax rate of 35%, the Companys pretax income is still largely sheltered from taxation by NOL and research and development tax credit carryforwards and is expected to remain so for the next several years.
Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter was $7.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP earnings of $4.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP net income excludes the impact of intangibles amortization and stock-based compensation expense, and includes an income tax provision for cash taxes paid or payable for the period. A reconciliation of the GAAP-basis pretax income to the non-GAAP net income and earnings per diluted share is provided in the table at the end of this press release.
Liquidity
As of February 28,
2014, the Company had total cash and marketable securities of $28.3 million and
no bank debt outstanding. Net cash provided by operating activities during the
fourth quarter was $3.4 million, and the unused borrowing capacity on the bank
revolver as of the end of the fourth quarter was $15 million.
Business Outlook
Commenting on the Company's business
outlook, Mr. Burdiek said, In the fiscal 2015 first quarter, we expect
consolidated revenue in the range of $56 to $60 million. We anticipate Wireless
Datacom revenue in the first quarter will be higher on a year-over-year basis
but be relatively flat on a sequential quarter basis due primarily to an
expected decline of approximately $3 million of revenue from our key OEM
customer in the solar power industry. Satellite revenue in the first quarter is
expected to be down slightly on a sequential quarter basis. At the bottom line,
we expect first quarter GAAP-basis net income in the range of $0.05 to $0.09 per
diluted share and non-GAAP net income in the range of $0.17 to $0.21 per diluted
share.

We enter fiscal 2015 with continued strong customer demand across most of our key market verticals and significant growth opportunities that are expected to gain momentum as the year progresses. As a result, similar to fiscal 2014, we anticipate that the second half of fiscal 2015 will be stronger than the first half, with contributions from our emerging insurance and heavy equipment customers. We expect Satellite to return to a normalized revenue run rate of approximately $10 million per quarter as experienced prior to fiscal 2014, and our Wireless Datacom business growing at or above market rates for the full year, resulting in overall fiscal 2015 growth in non-GAAP earnings per share of approximately 30%.
Conference Call and Webcast
A conference call and simultaneous
webcast to discuss fourth quarter and full year financial results and business
outlook will be held today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern / 1:30 p.m. Pacific. CalAmp's

NON-GAAP EARNINGS RECONCILIATION
(Unaudited)
"GAAP" refers to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This press release includes historical non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. CalAmp believes that its presentation of historical non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to investors. The presentation of historical non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
In this press release, CalAmp reports the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Basis Net Income and Adjusted Basis Net Income Per Diluted Share. CalAmp uses these non-GAAP financial measures to enhance the investor's overall understanding of the financial performance and future prospects of CalAmp's core business activities. Specifically, CalAmp believes that a report of Adjusted Basis Net Income and Adjusted Basis Net Income Per Diluted Share provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates the comparison of results of core business operations between its current and past periods.
The reconciliation of the GAAP Basis Pretax Income to Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) Net Income is as follows (in thousands except per share amounts):
