Management Commentary
“During the second quarter, we built on the momentum we established in Q1 and delivered solid sequential and year-over-year revenue growth, driven by further commitment from longstanding customers like Ford, Volvo, Nestle and Nack-Pack,” said PowerFleet CEO Steve Towe. “In fact, the $34.6 million in revenue we generated this period, marked a 10-quarter revenue high for PowerFleet. Importantly, we were able to achieve these milestones despite the ongoing macro headwinds and supply chain issues affecting our industry, our competitors, and companies globally. In addition to our topline performance, our rationalization initiatives are enhancing our organization’s efficiency and profitability, resulting in a 58% sequential improvement in loss from operations in Q2.
“PowerFleet’s transformation is well underway and already yielding strong returns. Our growth plan is supported by a solid cash position and available resources that provide sufficient runway to execute our strategy. We entered the second half of 2022 in a strong position, supported by building customer engagement, a growing pipeline, and several strategic opportunities on the horizon. As we look ahead, the team is executing well on driving transformation and accelerating our vision. The successful execution of our strategic road map will create a highly scalable, repeatable, and profitable global organization.”

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. These non-GAAP measures are not measures 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.
