of wireless products, services and solutions, today reported results for

-- Consolidated fourth quarter revenues of $28.9 million; wireless datacom
fourth quarter revenues up 48% year-over-year to $23.4 million.
-- Consolidated full year revenues of $114.3 million; wireless datacom
full year revenues up 37% year-over-year to $78.4 million.
-- Consolidated fourth quarter gross margin percentage of 28.9%, up from
20.2% in fourth quarter of prior year; consolidated full year gross
margin percentage of 25.9%, up from 20.0% in prior year.
-- Fourth quarter GAAP net income of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted

per diluted share.
Commenting on the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter and full year results, Rick
Gold, CalAmp's Chief Executive Officer said, "CalAmp returned to
profitability on a GAAP basis this quarter for the first time in four
years. Our wireless datacom business continued its strong momentum, with
quarterly revenues increasing 48% year-over-year. This growth is now being
driven by both our mobile resource management (MRM) products and our
wireless networks products. We are seeing strong demand for our MRM
products from the local fleet management, vehicle finance, asset tracking
and stolen vehicle recovery verticals. Our wireless networks products also
showed strong growth with contributions from projects in the public safety,
railroad and energy sectors. We are making significant investments in R&D
to expand and strengthen our footprint in wireless data, and we're
encouraged by the traction our new products are getting in the market."
Mr. Gold continued, "In our satellite business, fourth quarter revenue was
softer than expected. During the quarter, we began the production ramps of
one older product and one new product, but those ramps did not occur until
late in the quarter. Volume shipments of both products are now underway
and are expected to drive significantly higher satellite revenue during our
fiscal 2012 first quarter. In addition, we are on track with our recently
announced plans for enhancing the operational flexibility and cost
structure of our satellite business. We are continuing to work on
additional new products that we expect to launch this year and we expect
improved financial results from this business in fiscal 2012."
Fiscal 2011 Fourth Quarter Results
Total revenue for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter was $28.9 million compared
to $34.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 as higher revenues
in the Company's wireless datacom segment were offset by lower satellite
segment revenues. Wireless datacom revenue increased 48% to $23.4 million
from $15.8 million in the same period last year, while satellite revenue
decreased to $5.6 million from $18.7 million in the same period last year.
Consolidated gross profit for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter was $8.4
million, or a 28.9% gross margin, compared to gross profit of $7.0 million,
or a 20.2% gross margin, for the same period last year. The increases in
gross profit and gross margin percentage in the latest quarter were due
primarily to higher wireless datacom revenues.
An income tax benefit of $172,000 was recorded in the fiscal 2011 fourth
quarter relating to the carryback of net operating losses of the Company's
French subsidiary. Excluding this item, no income tax provision or benefit
was recorded in fiscal 2011, and no income tax provision or benefit is
expected to be recorded in fiscal 2012 due to the existence of net
operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal and state tax purposes.
Results of operations for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter as determined in
accordance with GAAP was net income of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted
share, compared to a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share,
in the fourth quarter of last year.
The Adjusted Basis (non-GAAP) net income for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter
was $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted Basis
net loss of $0.5 million, or $0.02 loss per diluted share, for the same
period last year. The Adjusted Basis net income (loss) excludes intangible
asset amortization and stock-based compensation expense, and includes a pro
forma income tax provision or benefit computed without giving effect to
increases or decreases in the deferred income tax valuation allowance that
are recognized for GAAP basis financial reporting. A reconciliation of the
GAAP basis pretax income (loss) to the Adjusted Basis net income (loss) is
provided in the table at the end of this press release.
Liquidity
As of February 28, 2011, the Company had total cash of $4.2 million and
total debt of $11.9 million. Total debt at that date consisted of $7.49
million drawn under the Company's revolving bank credit facility and
subordinated debt of $4.46 million. The unused borrowing capacity on the
bank revolver was $3.8 million at February 28, 2011. Net cash provided by
operating activities during the three- and twelve-month periods ended
February 28, 2011 was $51,000 and $857,000, respectively.
Business Outlook
Commenting on the Company's business outlook, Mr. Gold said, "Based on our
latest projections, we expect fiscal 2012 first quarter consolidated
revenues in the range of $31 to $34 million. First quarter satellite
revenues are expected to increase significantly on a sequential quarter
basis. Wireless datacom revenues are expected to increase significantly on
a year-over-year basis, but be down slightly on a sequential basis. We
expect fiscal first quarter GAAP basis net income (loss) in the range of a
$0.01 loss to $0.02 income per diluted share. The Adjusted Basis
(non-GAAP) net income for the first quarter is expected to be in the range
of breakeven to $0.03 income per diluted share."
Mr. Gold continued, "Based on our current forecast, we expect fiscal 2012
revenue to trend higher compared to fiscal 2011 with growth in both our
satellite and wireless datacom businesses, and we expect to be profitable
on a GAAP basis for the year as a whole."

Non-GAAP Earnings Reconciliation
"GAAP" refers to financial information presented in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the
United States. 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 (Loss) and Adjusted
Basis Net Income (Loss) 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 (Loss) and
Adjusted Basis Net Income (Loss) 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 (Loss) to Adjusted
Basis (non-GAAP) Net Income (Loss) is as follows:
