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 (“U.S. 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, 2015. The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, 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 for 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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The Company has no guarantees or other funding obligations to those entities. The Company had no equity in or losses of those investees for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

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.

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 its 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 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. The fair value of the Note-payable related party is deminimus.

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.

 

There were no customers with revenues greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

One customer, Hub City Terminals, Inc., comprised 11.3% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable as of June 30, 2016.  One customer, Caterpillar Inc., comprised 11.6% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable as of December 31, 2015, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company did not maintain in-orbit insurance coverage for its ORBCOMM Generation 1 (“OG1”) satellites to address the risk of potential systemic anomalies, failures or catastrophic events affecting its satellite constellation. The Company maintains in-orbit insurance coverage for its ORBCOMM Generation 2 (“OG2”) 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. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, inventory consisted primarily of finished goods and purchased parts to be utilized by its contract manufacturer totaling $15,575 and $16,912, respectively, and $4,841 and $3,800, respectively, of raw materials, net of inventory obsolescence. 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 slow moving and 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 projected cash flows the assets are expected to generate. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that carrying value exceeds fair value.

9

---

Our satellite constellation and related assets 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 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. Refer to “Note 6 – Satellite Network and Other Equipment” for more information.

Warranty Costs

The Company accrues for one-year warranty coverage 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 deferred 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 February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, if any.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 “Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”), which amends FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” and is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. ASC 2016-09 includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements.  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.

3. Acquisitions

Skygistics Ltd.

On May 26, 2016, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into on April 11, 2016 among a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Skygistics Propriety Limited and Satconnect Propriety Limited (the “Sellers”), the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Skygistics (PTY) Ltd. (“Skygistics”), for a purchase price of $3,835, subject to net working capital adjustments, and additional contingent consideration of up to $954, subject to certain operational milestones (the “Skygistics Acquisition”).

Preliminary Estimated Purchase Price Allocation

The Skygistics Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). 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. The total consideration for the Skygistics Acquisition was $4,349, of which $514 represents acquisition date contingent consideration at fair value, in a debt free, cash free transaction.  The preliminary estimated purchase price allocation for the Skygistics Acquisition is as follows:

 

Intangible Assets

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 was 19%. The remaining useful lives of customer lists were based on the customer attrition and the projected economic benefit of these customers. The Company recorded a customer list intangible asset in the amount of $1,071 and assigned an estimated useful life of 13 years to the customer list.

Goodwill

The Skygistics Acquisition provides a broad range of satellite and cellular connectivity options as well as telematics solutions centered around the management of remote and mobile assets to more than 250 telematics and enterprise customers. These factors contributed to a preliminary estimated purchase price resulting in recognition of goodwill. The goodwill attributable to the Skygistics Acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

Indemnification Asset

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into an escrow agreement with the Sellers and an escrow agent.  Under the terms of the escrow agreement, $757 was placed in an escrow account through August 2017 to fund any

11

---

indemnification obligations owed to the Company under the Asset Purchase Agreement. On June 1, 2016, $304 was released from the escrow fund to the Sellers in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement.

Contingent Consideration

Additional consideration is conditionally due to the Sellers upon achievement of certain financial milestones through April 2017.  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 the Company’s 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 June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $514 in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

WAM Technologies, LLC

On October 6, 2015, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, WAM Technologies, LLC (“WAM”) and the individual owners of WAM (the “Sellers”), the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of WAM for total consideration of $8,689, inclusive of a working capital settlement of $189, of which $1,100 was deposited in escrow in connection with certain indemnification obligations (the “WAM Acquisition”).

Preliminary Estimated Purchase Price Allocation

The WAM Acquisition has been accounted for using the Acquisition Method. The excess of the purchase price over the net assets was recorded as goodwill. The total consideration for the WAM Acquisition was $8,689 in a debt-free, cash-free transaction. The preliminary estimated purchase price allocation for the WAM Acquisition 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 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 26%. 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 WAM Acquisition expands and strengthens the Company’s cold chain monitoring solutions, which include trailers, rail cars, gensets and sea containers. With the addition of WAM’s installed base, the Company is expected to become a leader in monitoring cargo shipments. These factors contributed to a preliminary estimated purchase price resulting in recognition of goodwill. The goodwill attributable to the WAM Acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

Indemnification Asset

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into an escrow agreement with the Sellers and an escrow agent.  Under the terms of the escrow agreement, $1,100 was placed in an escrow account through December 2017 to fund any indemnification obligations owed to the Company under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Unaudited Pro Forma Results of Operation

The following tables present the unaudited pro forma consolidated operating results for the Company, as though the WAM 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, 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 Software, Inc.

On January 16, 2015, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company, IDENTEC Group AG (“IDENTEC”) 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) $10,850 in cash, comprised of various components and inclusive of net working capital adjustments of $250, 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”). The InSync Acquisition supports the Company’s strategy to provide the most complete set of applications and capabilities in the M2M and IoT industry, while broadening the Company’s market access to a wide range of industries.

 

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 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. The SkyWave Acquisition furthers the Company’s strategy to provide

13

---

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 broader global distribution and provide 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 IDP technology, which is now jointly owned by the Company and Inmarsat, also further expands the breadth of the Company’s solutions portfolio.

 

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 allowed the Company to complement its North American operations in M2M by adding a 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 through March 2017. 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 June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $1,027 in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in connection with the contingent consideration. As of December 31, 2015, the Company recorded $1,719 in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in connection with the contingent consideration. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company recorded a reduction of the contingent liability of $198 in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 due to a decrease in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration. The Company recorded an increase of the contingent liability of $182 in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the six months ended June 30, 2016 in connection with the achievement of one operational milestone. A total of $694 was  paid to MWL Management B.V. and R.Q. Management B.V. in cash and common stock of the Company during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 upon achievement of this milestone. For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, charges of $22 were recorded to SG&A for accretion associated with the contingent consideration. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, charges of $88 and $176, respectively, were recorded in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for accretion associated with the contingent consideration.

 

 

4. Stock-based Compensation

On April 20, 2016, the stockholders of the Company approved the ORBCOMM Inc. 2016 Long-Term Incentives Plan (the “2016 LTIP”).

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 of each year in the performance period. The MPUs will vest at the end of each year in the performance period only if the Company satisfies the stock price performance targets and continued employment by the senior executives through the dates the 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 of cash and stock 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 fair value of the awards 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:

 

 

For the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $194 and $164 relating to these MPUs, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $397 and $240 relating to these MPUs, respectively.

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

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s Board of Directors adopted the ORBCOMM Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) on February 16, 2016 and the Company’s shareholders approved the ESPP on April 20, 2016. Under the terms of the ESPP, 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are available for issuance, and eligible employees may have up to 10% of their gross pay deducted from their payroll up to a maximum of $25,000 per year to purchase shares of ORBCOMM common stock at a discount of up to 15% of its fair market value, subject to certain conditions and limitations. For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $12 relating to the ESPP.

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 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 six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

 

 

The following represents amounts not included in diluted EPS as their impact was anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method:

 

*           Not applicable due to the loss for the period.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $8,483 and $4,005, respectively, including amortization of internal-use software of $794 and $408, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $14,380 and $7,851, respectively, including amortization of internal-use software of $1,645 and $784, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016, assets under construction primarily consist of costs associated with acquiring, developing and testing software and hardware for internal and external use that have not yet been placed into service. As of December 31, 2015, assets under construction primarily consist of milestone payments pursuant to procurement agreements, which includes the design, development, launch and other direct costs relating to the construction of the OG2 satellites and upgrades to its infrastructure and ground segment.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded an impairment loss on one of its leased AIS satellites. Upon abandonment of the satellite, the Company no longer expects future cash flows to be generated from this asset. The impairment loss of $466 was determined based on the net carrying value of the asset at the time of the impairment and was recorded in depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2016. In addition, the Company decreased satellite network and other equipment, net and the associated accumulated depreciation on the condensed consolidated balance sheet by $2,374 and $1,908, respectively, as of June 30, 2016.

On December 21, 2015, the Company launched the remaining 11 of its OG2 satellites aboard a Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (“SpaceX”) Falcon 9 launch vehicle. On March 1, 2016, following an in-orbit testing period, the Company initiated commercial service for the 11 OG2 satellites. As a result of the 11 OG2 satellites being placed into service, the Company reclassified $137,772 of costs out of assets under construction and into satellite network on March 1, 2016, and began depreciating the satellites over an estimated 10-year life. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded $8,949 and $4,501 of depreciation in connection with its OG2 satellite constellation, respectively.

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, net and the associated accumulated depreciation on the condensed consolidated balance sheet by $13,788 and $1,040, respectively, as of December 31, 2015.

In January 2015, the Company lost communication with one of its OG1 Plane B satellites. In the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company removed $137 from satellite network and accumulated depreciation, respectively, representing the fully depreciated value of the satellite.

(formerly known as OHB Teledata A.G.), a stockholder of the Company. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the principal balance of the note payable was €1,138 and it had a carrying value of $1,264 and $1,241, 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 profits, as defined in the note agreement, of ORBCOMM Europe LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

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 $45,000 9.5% per annum Senior Notes (“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 partially 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 drawn on December 30, 2014 and 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%.

21

---

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 debt issuance costs of approximately $4,721. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, amortization of the debt issuance costs was $227 and $454, respectively. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, amortization of the debt issuance costs was $239 and $458, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company capitalized $744, 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 OG2 satellites. The Company capitalized interest expense and deferred issuance costs associated with these facilities through March 1, 2016, the date the final 11 OG2 satellites were placed in service. The Company recorded charges of $2,445 and $4,144 to interest expense on its statement of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, related to interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs associated with the Term B2 and Term B3 Facilities and the Initial Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility after the OG2 satellites were placed in service on March 1, 2016.

At June 30, 2016, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. The net availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $10,000 as of June 30, 2016.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

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 83% 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 region in which the customer is located.

 

 

 

 

14. Income taxes

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company’s income tax provision was $216, compared to a tax benefit of $(386) for the prior year period. The change in the income tax provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 primarily related to a change in the geographical mix of income which increased taxable non-U.S. earnings before income taxes when compared to the prior year period and higher deferred tax expense in the current period related an increase in amortization of tax deductible goodwill. 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company’s income tax provision was $378 compared to $91 for the prior year period.  The change in the income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily related to a change in the geographical mix of income which increased taxable non-U.S. earnings before income taxes when compared to the prior year period and higher deferred tax expense in the current period related an increase in amortization of tax deductible goodwill. If the Company’s current estimates change in future periods, the impact on the deferred tax assets and liabilities may change correspondingly.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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 six months ended June 30, 2016. 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 six months ended June 30, 2016.

 

 

15. Commitments and Contingencies

In April 2014, the Company obtained launch and one year from launch 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 11 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 paid in December 2015. The majority of the premium payments are recorded as satellite network and other equipment, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

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 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 to write off the net book value of the satellite.  In addition, the Company decreased satellite network and other equipment, net and the associated accumulated depreciation on the condensed consolidated balance sheet by $13,788 and $1,040, respectively.

23

---

The Company notified its in-orbit insurers that the loss of the OG2 satellite resulted 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 mission one OG2 satellites 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 for Launch One. This additional 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. On July 15, 2016, the Company extended the in-orbit insurance policy for the five mission one OG2 satellites through December 21, 2016, under the same terms, for a premium of $179.

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 June 30, 2016 and 2015 airtime credits used totaled approximately $7 and $7, respectively. For the six months ended  June 30, 2016 and 2015, airtime credits used totaled approximately $14 and $15, respectively. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, unused credits granted by the Company were approximately $2,023 and $2,053, respectively.

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 (“U.S. 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, intangible assets, 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 2016.  

Revenues

We derive service revenues mostly from monthly fees for M2M and IoT connectivity services that consist of subscriber-based and recurring monthly usage fees for each subscriber communicator or SIM activated for use on our satellite network and the other satellite networks and cellular wireless networks that we resell to our customers (i.e., our VARs, IVARs, SPs, DPs, international licensees and country representatives and direct customers). Usage fees are generally based upon the data transmitted by a customer and the overall number of subscriber communicators and SIMS activated by each customer and whether we provide services through our value-added portal. Service revenues 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. In addition, we 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 subscriber communicator connected to our M2M and IoT data communications system and fees from providing engineering, technical and management support services to customers.

We derive product sales primarily from sales of complete M2M and IoT telematics devices, modems and cellular wireless SIMS (for our terrestrial-communication services) to our resellers (i.e., our VARs, IVARs, SPs, DPs, international licensees and country representatives) and direct customers. Revenues generated from product sales 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 six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, together with the percentage of total revenue represented by each revenue category in (in thousands):

 

26

---

 

 

Total revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $50.1 million and $44.9 million, respectively, an increase of 11.6%. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $93.6 million and $87.2 million, respectively, an increase of 7.3%.

Service revenues

 

 

 

The increase in service revenues for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the prior year periods, was primarily due to revenue generated from growth in billable subscriber communicators and our acquisitions, as well as increases in satellite-based service revenues provided by our ORBCOMM Generation 2 (“OG2”) satellites.

As of June 30, 2016, we had approximately 1,650,000 billable subscriber communicators compared to approximately 1,297,000 billable subscriber communicators as of June 30, 2015, an increase of 27.2%.

Service revenue growth can be impacted by the customary lag between subscriber communicator activations and recognition of service revenue from these units.

Product sales

 

 

 

The increase in product sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to the prior year period, was primarily attributable to increases from products sold in our core business and by the companies we acquired.

 

The decrease in product sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the prior year period, was primarily attributable to a large order shipped to one customer included in the prior year, offset by increases from products sold in our core business and by the companies we acquired.

Costs of revenues, exclusive of depreciation and amortization

 

 

27

---

 

Costs of services is comprised of expenses to operate our network, such as payroll and related costs, including stock-based compensation and usage fees to third-party networks. The increase in cost of services for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to an increase in service revenues.

Costs of product sales includes the direct costs of subscriber communicators and SIMS sold, costs of warranty obligations, shipping charges, as well as operational costs to fulfill customer orders including costs for employees and inventory management. The increase in cost of product sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to costs associated with the mix of products sold by our acquired companies and our core business. Cost of product sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016, was relatively flat compared to the prior year period, reflecting costs associated with the mix of products sold, offset by cost savings associated with a new contract manufacturer.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased by $1.7 million, or 7.8% to $23.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to $21.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The increase was due to increases in gross profit of $2.6 million from service revenues, primarily from our acquisitions and growth in billable subscriber communicators, offset, in part, by decreases in gross profit of $0.9 million from product sales, primarily due to the mix of products sold.

Gross profit increased by $3.9 million, or 9.2% to $46.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $42.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was due to increases in gross profit of $4.3 million, primarily from our acquisitions and growth in billable subscriber communicators, offset, in part, by decreases in gross profit of $0.3 million, primarily due to the mix of products sold.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

 

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses relate primarily to expenses for general management, sales and marketing, finance, professional fees and general operating expenses.  SG&A expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to the prior year period, reflected increases in contractor and consulting costs and other operating expenses, offset by a refund of regulatory fees. SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the prior year period, reflected increases in contractor and consulting costs and other operating expenses, foreign exchange losses in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to foreign exchange gains in the six months ended June 30, 2015, offset in part by a refund of regulatory fees in the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Product development expenses

 

 

 

Product development expenses consist primarily of the expenses associated with our engineering efforts, including the cost of third parties to support our current applications. Product development expenses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016,

28

---

compared to the prior year periods, increased due to our focus to create additional customer solutions and support our current applications.

Depreciation and amortization

 

 

 

The increase in depreciation and amortization for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the prior year periods, was primarily due to additional depreciation expense associated with the OG2 satellites placed into service on March 1, 2016.

Impairment loss – satellite network

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

Acquisition-related and integration costs

Acquisition-related and integration costs include professional services expenses and identifiable integration costs directly attributable to our acquisitions. For the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred acquisition-related and integration costs of $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we incurred acquisition-related and integration costs of $0.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively. The decrease in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016,  compared to the prior year periods, related primarily to non-recurring acquisition-related and integration costs incurred in 2015 in connection with the acquisitions of SkyWave Mobile Communications, Inc. and InSync Software, Inc., offset, in part, by costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of Skygistics (PTY), Ltd.

Loss from operations

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, loss from operations was $1.6 million, compared to a loss from operations of $11.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, loss from operations was $1.7 million, compared to a loss from operations of $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Other income (expense)

Other income (expense) is comprised primarily of interest expense, foreign exchange gains and losses and interest income from our cash and cash equivalents.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, other expense was $2.3 million, which consisted primarily of interest expense of $2.4 million relating to our Secured Credit Facilities, offset, in part, by foreign exchange gains of $0.1 million. For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, other expense was $1.0 million, comprising primarily of interest expense of $1.3, offset, in part, by foreign exchange gains of $0.1 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, other expense was $4.1 million, consisting of interest expense relating to our Secured Credit Facilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, other expense was $2.0 million, comprising primarily of interest expense of $2.6 million, offset, in part, by foreign exchange gains of $0.3 million. We capitalized interest expense and deferred financing fees associated with our Initial Term Loan Facility through March 1, 2016, the date the final 11 OG2 satellites were placed into service. We believe our foreign exchange exposure is limited as a majority of our revenue is collected in US dollars.

Loss before income taxes

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we had a loss before income taxes of $3.9 million, compared to a loss before income taxes of $12.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we had a loss before income taxes of $5.8 million, compared to a loss before income taxes of $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Income taxes

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, our income tax provision was $0.2 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.4 million for the prior year period. The change in the income tax provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 primarily related to a change in the geographical mix of income which increased taxable non-U.S. earnings before income taxes when compared to the prior year period and higher deferred tax expense in the current period related an increase in amortization of tax deductible goodwill.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, our income tax provision was $0.4 million, compared to $0.1 million for the prior year period. The change in the income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily related to a change in the geographical mix of income which increased taxable non-U.S. earnings before income taxes when compared to the prior year period and higher deferred tax expense in the current period related an increase in amortization of tax deductible goodwill. If our current estimates change in future periods, the impact on the deferred tax assets and liabilities may change correspondingly.

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, 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.

Net loss

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we had a net loss of $4.1 million compared to a net loss of $12.2 million in the prior year period.  For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we had a net loss of $6.2 million compared to a net loss of $15.0 million in the prior year period.

Noncontrolling interests

Noncontrolling interests relate to earnings and losses attributable to noncontrolling shareholders.

Net loss attributable to ORBCOMM Inc.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we had a net loss attributable to our company of $4.2 million compared to a net loss of $12.2 million in the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we had a net loss attributable to our company of $6.3 million compared to a net loss of $15.1 million in the prior year period.

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, the net income attributable to our common stockholders considers dividends of less than $0.1 million paid in shares of Series A convertible preferred stock.

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 June 30, 2016, we have an accumulated deficit of $87.7 million. Our primary source of liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents totaling $15.5 million, as well as cash flows from operating activities and an unused $10 million revolving credit facility from the Credit Agreement entered into on September 30, 2014 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which we believe will be sufficient to provide working capital, support capital expenditures and facilitate growth and expansion for the next twelve months.

Operating activities

Cash provided by our operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $7.9 million resulting from a net loss of $6.2 million, offset by non-cash items including $20.5 million for depreciation and amortization and $2.6 million for stock-based compensation. These non-cash add backs were offset by a working capital use of cash of $10.1 million. Working capital activities primarily consisted of an increase of $7.3 million in accounts receivable relating to timing of receivables and an increase of $3.7 million in prepaid expenses and other assets.

Cash provided by our operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $7.3 million resulting from net loss of $15.0 million, offset by non-cash items including $13.1 million for depreciation and amortization, $12.7 million for an impairment loss on our satellite network and $2.2 million for stock-based compensation. These non-cash add backs were offset by a working capital use of cash of $5.0 million. Working capital activities primarily consisted of a net use of cash of $8.3 million from a decrease in accounts

payable and accrued expenses, primarily related to timing of payments, and $4.5 million in inventories, as a result of our increased business activities, partially offset by a decrease of accounts receivable of $7.8 million, relating to timing of receivables.

Investing activities

Cash used in our investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $19.5 million, resulting from capital expenditures of $16.9 million, including approximately $8.3 million related to payments for the OG2 program, and $3.5 million in cash consideration paid in connection with our acquisition of Skygistics (PTY), Ltd., partially offset by $1.0 million in a return of restricted cash upon reaching certain milestones related to our OG2 satellite constellation.

Cash used in our investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $33.2 million, resulting primarily from $133.4 million in cash consideration paid in connection with our acquisition of SkyWave Mobile Communications, Inc. (“SkyWave”) and InSync, Inc. (“InSync”) and capital expenditures of $22.8 million, offset, in part, by cash released from escrow for the acquisition of SkyWave of $123.0 million.

Financing activities

Cash used in our financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $0.3 million.

Cash provided by our financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $0.6 million.

Future Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements

We expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents along with cash flows from operating activities and additional funds available in our Revolving Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement entered into on September 30, 2014 will be sufficient over the next 12 months to provide working capital, cover interest payments on our debt facilities and fund growth initiatives and capital expenditures.

On September 30, 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Macquarie which refinanced our Senior Notes. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lender provided secured credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $160 million (the “Secured Credit Facilities”) comprised of (i) the Initial Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $70 million; (ii) a $10 million Revolving Credit Facility; (iii) the Term B2 loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $10 million, the proceeds of which were used to partially finance the acquisition of InSync; and (iv) the Term B3 loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $70 million, the proceeds of which were used to partially finance the acquisition of SkyWave. Proceeds of the Initial Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility were used to repay in full our $45 million 9.5% per annum Senior Notes (the “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, 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 are 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 must maintain 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 Secured Credit Facilities, 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 Secured Credit Facilities, we borrowed $70 million under the Term B3 Facility to partially fund the acquisition of SkyWave.

31

---

On January 16, 2015, under the Secured Credit Facilities, we borrowed $10 million under the Term B2 Facility to partially fund the acquisition of InSync.

On March 31, 2015, we repaid in full the $10 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

On January 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of SkyWave for an aggregate purchase price paid of $130.2 million, inclusive of a working capital settlement of $0.3 million and subject to certain adjustments, and a $10.6 million escrow to cover certain SkyWave indemnity obligations. 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. We funded the acquisition of using existing cash on our balance sheet, our borrowings under our Term B3 facility of the Secured Credit Facilities and net proceeds from our public offering in November 2014.

On January 16, 2015, we completed the acquisition of InSync 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 acquisition of InSync through a combination of cash on hand and our borrowings under our Term B2 facility of the Secured Credit Facilities, 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). 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.

On October 6, 2015, we completed the acquisition of WAM Technologies, LLC for a cash consideration of $8.7 million, inclusive of a working capital adjustment of $0.2 million.

On May 26, 2016, we completed the acquisition of Skygistics (PTY), Ltd. for a cash consideration of $3.8 million, subject to net working capital adjustments, and additional contingent consideration of up to $1.0 million, subject to certain operational milestones.

At June 30, 2016, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. The net availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $10.0 million as of June 30, 2016.

Debt Covenants

As of June 30, 2016, 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 with U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP and may be different than EBITDA measures presented by other companies.

32

---

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

 

 

For the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015, EBITDA increased $14.7 million, while net loss decreased $8.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, EBITDA increased $18.1 million, while net loss decreased $8.8 million. The increase in net income compared to the prior year periods was due to a $12.7 million impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2015. The rate of increase for EBITDA compared to the net loss decrease for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year period primarily reflects higher depreciation associated with the 11 OG2 satellites placed into service, higher amortization of finite-lived intangible assets as a result of the acquisition of WAM Technologies, LLC and increased interest expense associated with our Secured Credit Facilities.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2016, 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 June 30, 2016, as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks” in our Annual Report.

Concentration of credit risk

There were no customers with revenues greater than 10% of our consolidated total revenues for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

We have floating interest rate debt with our Secured Credit Facilities under our Credit Agreement that are subject to interest rate volatility, which is our principal market risk, with a floor of 1.00%. A 25 basis point change in the interest rate relating to the credit facilities’ balances outstanding as of June 30, 2016, which are subject to variable interest rates based on LIBOR, would yield a change of approximately $0.4 million in annual interest expense. We do not expect our future cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates.  

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 June 30, 2016. 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 June 30, 2016.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

We reviewed our internal control over financial reporting at June 30, 2016. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in an evaluation thereof that occurred during the second quarter of 2016 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
