("Powerfleet" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: AIOT), a global leader in the artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) software-as-a-service (SaaS) mobile asset industry, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. "Fiscal 2026 was a defining year for the business. We delivered on our objectives to accelerate growth, compound profitability, and establish a consistent, growing cash flow profile—driving 14% growth in high margin services revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, increasing adjusted EBITDA by 42% in the same period, and generating positive free cash flow in the second half of the year," said Powerfleet CEO Steve Towe. "We are entering fiscal 2027 as a stronger, more focused company with clear visibility into the next phase of our growth. With second-half fiscal 2026 free cash flow improving by $17.8 million, we expect to generate more than $30 million of free cash flow in fiscal 2027, with continued expansion expected in fiscal 2028 as revenue growth, margin improvement, and organic operating leverage compounds."Results for Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Compared to Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025Revenue increased 11% to $114.5 millionServices revenue increased 14% to $92.9 millionGross margin increased to 56.5% from 52.8% in the prior-year quarterNet loss improved 78% to $2.7 million, and loss per share improved by 7 cents to $(0.02) from $(0.09) in the prior-year quarterNon-GAAP Results for Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Compared to Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025Adjusted EBITDA increased 42% to $26.4 million, with margins expanding by 5% to 23%Adjusted net income increased 102% to $5.6 million and, on a per share basis, doubled to $0.04 per shareResults for Fiscal 2026 Compared to Fiscal 2025Revenue increased 22% to $443.8 million, at the top of the guidance rangeServices revenue increased 30% to $359.8 millionGross margin increased 180 basis points to 55.5%Net loss improved 60% to $20.6 million, or $(0.15) per share, compared to $(0.43)Operating cash flow increased to $30.5 million from $(3.3) million in fiscal 2025, while continuing to invest in growth through capitalized software development costs of $18.5 million and capital expenditures of $21.6 million.Total outstanding debt was $280.0 million and cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash was $40.8 millionNon-GAAP Results for Fiscal 2026 Compared to Fiscal 2025Adjusted EBITDA increased 44% to $97.0 million, with margin expanding to 22%Adjusted net income increased 118% to $11.3 million and, on a per share basis, doubled to $0.08Free cash flow improved $17.8 million in the second half of fiscal 2026, from a use of cash of $13.7 million in the first half to cash generation of $4.1 million in the second half.Total debt, net of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, was $239.2 million. Adjusted net debt to trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA was 2.47x, representing nearly one turn of improvement from the prior year.Discussion of Fourth Quarter ResultsRevenue for the quarter totaled $114.5 million, an 11% increase from $103.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, driven primarily by 14% growth in high-margin services revenue, which represented more than 81% of total revenue. Gross profit was $64.7 million, and gross margin expanded 370 basis points to 56.5% from 52.8% in the prior-year quarter, reflecting the increasing mix of higher-margin services revenue and improving services gross margins.Income from operations was $11.0 million, an approximately 10% operating margin, compared with an operating loss of $7.0 million in the prior-year quarter. GAAP net loss improved to $2.7 million, or $(0.02) per basic share, from a net loss of $12.4 million, or $(0.09) per basic share, in the prior-year quarter.Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $26.4 million in the fourth quarter, a 42% increase from $18.7 million in the prior-year quarter, with adjusted EBITDA margin expanding to 23.1% from 18.0%. The improvement reflects the increasing contribution of high-margin services revenue, realized cost synergies, and disciplined operating expense management. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided in the tables below.Balance Sheet and Capital ResourcesAs of March 31, 2026, the Company's total available liquidity was $63.6 million, comprising cash and cash equivalents of $36.5 million, and available borrowing capacity of $27.1 million under the Company's existing revolving credit facilities. Total outstanding debt was $280.0 million, and net debt (net of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash) was $239.2 million. Net debt to trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA ratio was 2.47x, an improvement from 3.39x as of March 31, 2025.Business HighlightsSecured the three largest individual contracts in the Company's history, including individual $10 million+ TCV contracts with a top three global food & beverage and a global manufacturing enterprise.Signed a landmark agreement with the South African National Treasury to deploy Unity safety solutions, with an anticipated total contract value of $100 million to $120 million over a minimum five-year term and with revenue expected to ramp over the next 18 months.Grew high-quality strategic revenue segments, led by enterprise-grade Unity safety solutions for onsite and AI video on-road applications, with the onsite segment growing 39% in the fourth quarter driven by strong North America sales execution and serving as a key land-and-expand entry point into enterprise mobile operations.Delivered on the adjusted EBITDA expansion cost synergy targets related to business combinations and acquisitions, achieving more than $18 million of annual savings in fiscal 2026 and exiting the year with total realized synergy savings of $34 million over the past two years.Scaled the Unity platform to nearly three million subscribers across 50,000 customers, supported by a differentiated distribution network of more than 350 partners, including AT&T, TELUS, MTN, Telstra, and Accenture, reinforcing the Company's competitive moat.Financial OutlookThe Company's outlook reflects increased momentum exiting the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and implies continued double-digit revenue growth at the midpoint of the guidance range, along with further Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion.Revenue guidance is supported by a larger, higher-quality pipeline and performance is expected to build sequentially throughout fiscal 2027. This progression is expected to be driven by improved pipeline conversion from increased go-to-market investment and the commencement of the South African National Treasury contract in the second quarter. Revenue and margin contribution from the South Africa deployment are expected to accelerate through year-end.Adjusted EBITDA growth is expected to compound further and outpace revenue growth, reflecting the organic operating leverage in the business. This growth is expected to be driven by a higher mix of services revenue, continued cost discipline, and the benefits of ongoing productivity and cost optimization initiatives. The Company has realized more than $34 million in cost synergies over the past two years and expects to continue investing in centralization, simplification, automation, and AI initiatives during the first half of fiscal 2027. These initiatives require upfront investment in the first half and are expected to yield meaningful savings beginning in the second half. Together with the ramp of the South Africa deployment, these dynamics are expected to drive sequential margin improvement in each quarter of fiscal 2027.The Company provided guidance for fiscal year 2027 for the following metrics:Revenue is expected to range from $485 million to $490 million, representing growth of approximately 10% year-over-year at the midpoint of the range. Services revenue is expected to exceed $400 million.Net income is expected to range from $4 million to $8 million, with weighted-average fully diluted shares outstanding of 136 million.Adjusted EBITDA is expected to range from $122 million to $125 million, representing growth of approximately 27% year-over-year at the midpoint of the range, with a margin of approximately 25% at the midpoints of the revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance ranges.Free cash flow is expected to range from $30 million to $35 million.Powerfleet provides guidance for adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Powerfleet does not provide guidance for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or a reconciliation of each of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because it is unable to predict, without unreasonable effort, the timing or amount of certain items that are included in the applicable GAAP financial measure but excluded from adjusted EBITDA and/or free cash flow. These items may include, among others, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, fair-value adjustments, restructuring charges and other non-recurring items. The variability of these items could have a significant impact on Powerfleet's future GAAP financial results, and therefore, Powerfleet is unable to provide a reconciliation at this time.INVESTOR CONFERENCE CALL AND BUSINESS UPDATEPowerfleet management will hold a conference call on Monday, June 15, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time (5:30 a.m. Pacific time) to discuss results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2026 ended March 31, 2026, and provide a business update.Date: Monday, June 15, 2026

Additionally, both the webcast and accompanying slide presentation will be available via the investor section of Powerfleet's website at ir.powerfleet.com.USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Management evaluates the financial performance of our business on a variety of key indicators, including non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA gross margin, adjusted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio, free cash flow, net debt and adjusted net debt. 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 and fluctuations in currency rates 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 alternative to total revenues, net income, net income margin, gross margin, net income per share, net cash provided by operating activities or total debt 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. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in Annex A titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures," including a description of these non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons why management uses these measures.ABOUT POWERFLEETPowerfleet (Nasdaq: AIOT; JSE: PWR) is a global leader in the artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) software-as-a-service (SaaS) mobile asset industry.

$ (3,364)Annex A: Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresIn order to assist readers of our consolidated financial statements in understanding the operating results that management uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning purposes, we present non-GAAP measures of organic revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA products gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA services gross profit margin, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense ratios, adjusted operating expenses, free cash flow, net debt and adjusted net debt, and adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio as supplemental measures of our operating performance. We believe they provide useful information to our investors as they eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our cash operations and ongoing operating performance. In addition, we use them as an integral part of our internal reporting to measure the performance and operating strength of our business.We believe organic revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA products gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA services gross profit margin, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense ratios, adjusted operating expenses, free cash flow, net debt and adjusted net debt, and adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, are relevant and provide useful information frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies similar to ours and are indicators of the operational strength of our business.Organic revenue growth represents the year-over-year percentage change in revenue, excluding the impact of acquisitions. We believe organic revenue growth provides insight into the underlying performance of the Company's existing operations by removing the effects of changes in the scope of consolidation. Adjusted EBITDA is equal to net loss attributable to common stockholders, excluding non-controlling interest, preferred stock dividend, interest expense (net), other expense (net), income tax benefit/expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, foreign currency losses, restructuring-related expenses, derivative mark-to-market adjustment, acquisition-related expenses and integration-related expenses. Following a detailed review of relevant SEC guidance on disclosure of non-GAAP financial measures, we refined our definition of adjusted EBITDA by removing recognition of pre-October 1, 2024 contract assets (Fleet Complete). Comparative information has been adjusted to conform with the updated presentation. We believe adjusted EBITDA eliminates the uneven effect of considerable amounts of non-cash depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and other items that might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult and obscure trends in ongoing operations. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted net income is equal to net loss excluding incremental intangible assets amortization expense as a result of business combinations, stock-based compensation (non-recurring/accelerated cost), foreign currency losses, restructuring-related expenses, derivative mark-to-market adjustment, acquisition-related expenses, integration-related expenses and inventory rationalization and other, net of tax. We define adjusted net income per share as adjusted net income divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. We believe adjusted net income provides additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult and obscure trends in ongoing operations. We define adjusted EBITDA gross profit as gross profit excluding inventory rationalization and other and depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA gross profit margin as adjusted EBITDA gross profit as a percentage of revenues. Our adjusted EBITDA gross profit is a measure used by management in evaluating the business's current operating performance by excluding the impact of prior historical costs of assets that are expensed systematically and allocated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which may not be indicative of the current operating activity. We define non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense ratios as selling, general and administrative expenses adjusted for restructuring-related expenses, acquisition-related expenses, integration-related expenses, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation, and expressed as a percentage of total revenues. We define adjusted operating expenses as total operating expenses adjusted for acquisition-related expenses, integration-related expenses, stock-based compensation (non-recurring/accelerated cost) and restructuring-related expenses. We present non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense ratios and adjusted operating expenses to provide a clearer view of our operating cost structure by excluding items that are not directly tied to ongoing business operations. Free cash flow is equal to net cash provided by operating activities, excluding proceeds from the sale of fixed assets, capitalized software development costs and capital expenditures. We present free cash flow because we believe it provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company's cash flows by providing detail of the amount of cash the Company generates or utilizes after accounting for all capital expenditures as well as costs that do not relate to our core business operations. We define adjusted net debt as total debt less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, resulting in net debt less unsettled transaction costs. Adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio is calculated as adjusted net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 12-month period. We present adjusted net debt and adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio to help investors and others better understand our true leverage position and financial flexibility. Unsettled transaction costs – often related to acquisitions, integrations, or financing activities – can temporarily inflate net debt figures and obscure comparability across periods.Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA products gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA services gross profit margin, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense ratios, adjusted operating expenses, free cash flow, net debt and adjusted net debt, and adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio are not intended to be performance measures that should be regarded as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The way we measure adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA products gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA services gross profit margin, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense ratios, adjusted operating expenses, free cash flow, net debt and adjusted net debt, and adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.A reconciliation of net loss attributable to common stockholders (the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP) to adjusted EBITDA for the periods shown is presented below (in thousands and unaudited):

(1) Following the closing of our acquisition of Fleet Complete, we included an EBITDA adjustment related to the recognition of pre-October 1, 2024, contract assets. This adjustment represented recoveries, through customer billings, of the contract asset recognized at acquisition for hardware delivered by Fleet Complete prior to October 1, 2024. This adjustment was intended to give investors a clearer view of underlying operating performance and cash generation. The goal was to better align adjusted EBITDA with operating cash flows. Following a detailed review of relevant SEC guidance on disclosure of non-GAAP financial measures, we have stopped including this adjustment in our presentation of adjusted EBITDA. For the three months and years ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, we reported adjusted EBITDA of $18.7 million, $67.3 million, $26.4 million and $97.0 million, respectively. During the same periods, we also invoiced recoveries of $1.8 million, $3.8 million, $1.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively, which are included in cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
