POWERFLEET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2023

In thousands (except per share data)

 

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Description of the Company

 

PowerFleet, Inc. (the “Company” or “Powerfleet”) is a global leader of Internet-of-Things (“IoT”) solutions providing valuable business intelligence for managing high-value enterprise assets that improve operational efficiencies.

 

I.D. Systems, Inc. (“I.D. Systems”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1993. Powerfleet was incorporated in the State of Delaware in February 2019 for the purpose of effectuating the transactions (the “Transactions”) pursuant to which the Company acquired Pointer Telocation Ltd. (“Pointer”) and commenced operations on October 3, 2019. Upon the closing of the Transactions, Powerfleet became the parent entity of I.D. Systems and Pointer.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2023, the consolidated results of its operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, the consolidated change in stockholders’ equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2022 and 2023, and the consolidated cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2023. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended.

Liquidity

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash (including restricted cash) and cash equivalents of $19,600 and working capital approximately $34,500. The Company’s primary sources of cash are cash flows from the sales of its products and services, its holdings of cash, cash equivalents and investments from the sale of its capital stock and borrowings under its credit facility. To date, the Company has not generated sufficient cash flows solely from operating activities to fund its operations.

 

In addition, the Company’s subsidiaries, PowerFleet Israel Ltd. (“Powerfleet Israel”) and Pointer Telocation Ltd. (“Pointer” and, together with Powerfleet Israel, the “Borrowers”) are party to a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank Hapoalim B.M. (“Hapoalim”), pursuant to which Hapoalim provided Powerfleet Israel with two senior secured term loan facilities denominated in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) in an initial aggregate principal amount of $30,000 (comprised of two facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $20,000 and $10,000) and a five-year revolving credit facility to Pointer in an initial aggregate principal amount of $10,000. The proceeds of the term loan facilities were used to finance a portion of the cash consideration payable in the Company’s acquisition of Pointer. The proceeds of the revolving credit facility may be used by Pointer for general corporate purposes. The Company borrowed net NIS8,420, or $2,200, under the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2023. See Note 13 for additional information.

 

On October 31, 2022, the Borrowers entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with Hapoalim. The Third Amendment provides for, among other things, a new revolving credit facility to Pointer denominated in NIS in an initial aggregate principal amount of $10,000 (the “New Revolver”). The New Revolver is available for a period of one month that commenced on October 31, 2022, and will continue to be available for successive one-month periods until and including October 30, 2023, unless the Borrowers deliver a notice to Hapoalim of their request not to renew the New Revolver. The Company borrowed net NIS32,500, or $8,500, under the New Revolver facility as of September 30, 2023. See Note 13 for additional information.

 

The New Revolver initially bears interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.59%. Such interest is subject to monthly changes by Hapoalim, provided that Hapoalim gives Pointer advance notice regarding such change prior to the end of the applicable calendar month.

 

The New Revolver is secured by a first ranking fixed pledge and assignment by Pointer over its new bank account, which was opened in connection with the New Revolver, and all of the rights relating thereunder as well as a cross guarantee by Powerfleet Israel.

 

Pointer is required to pay a credit allocation fee equal to 0.5% per annum on undrawn and uncancelled amounts of the New Revolver.

 

On October 10, 2023, the Company entered into an Implementation Agreement (the “Implementation Agreement”), by and among the Company, Main Street 2000 Proprietary Limited, a private company incorporated in the Republic of South Africa and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Powerfleet Sub”), and MiX Telematics Limited, a public company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of South Africa (“MiX Telematics”), pursuant to which MiX Telematics will become an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Implementation Agreement requires, as a condition to closing of the transactions contemplated therein, that the Company obtain a debt and/or equity financing (the “Financing”) in an amount sufficient to provide for the redemption in full of all outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”).

 

The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $143.3 million as of September 30, 2023. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time that growth in revenue and gross margin from its strategic plan centered on its Unity SaaS platform and Industrial safety product offerings exceed necessary investments in operating expenses, capital expenditures and debt financing costs.

 

The Company has received credit committee approval from its existing lender, Hapoalim, to enter into a new 5-year term debt facility with an approximate value of $30 million. While the Company believes it is highly probable that it will enter into a binding credit agreement by year end, there can be no assurance that the Company will enter into such a credit agreement. If the Company does not enter into a binding credit agreement with Hapoalim by year end, the Company may be required to delay key strategic product initiatives and market expansion activities, which could adversely affect its business prospects.

 

Management believes the Company’s cash and cash equivalents of $19.6 million as of September 30, 2023 in conjunction with cash generated from the execution of its strategic plan over the next 12 months, are sufficient to fund the projected operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements (November 13, 2024) and service the Company’s outstanding obligations. Such expectation is based, in part, on the achievement of a certain volume of assumed revenue and gross margin; however, there is no guarantee the Company will achieve this amount of revenue and gross margin during the assumed time period. Management assessed various additional operating cost reduction options that are available to the Company and would be implemented, if assumed levels of revenue and gross margin are not achieved and additional funding is not obtained.

NOTE 2 – USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for reasonableness. The most significant estimates relate to realization of deferred tax assets, accounting for uncertain tax positions, the impairment of intangible assets, including goodwill, capitalized software development costs, stock-based compensation costs related to market based awards, warrant assumptions, and standalone selling price related to multiple element revenue arrangements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION

 

On March 6, 2023, the Company entered into a share purchase and transfer agreement (the “Agreement”) with Swiss Re Reinsurance Holding Company Ltd (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Company would acquire all of the outstanding shares of Movingdots GmbH (“Movingdots”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Seller, for consideration consisting of €1 and the issuance by the Company of a ten-year warrant to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share (the “Common Stock Warrants”) and with fair value of approximately $1,300 at March 31, 2023 and noncash consideration with an immaterial fair value in the form of a non-exclusive irrevocable, perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty free license agreement between Movingdots and the Seller for certain of the acquired intellectual property (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was consummated on March 31, 2023 (the “Movingdots Closing”).

 

As a result of the Acquisition, Movingdots, a German company providing insurance telematics and sustainable mobility solutions, became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Powerfleet. Movingdots end-to-end telematics app solution will enhance Powerfleet’s software-as-a-service (“SaaS”)-based fleet intelligence platform, Unity, with additional customization capabilities and insurance risk insights. Movingdots’ expertise in safety and sustainability aligns with Unity’s focus on data-powered applications. The Acquisition also strengthens Powerfleet’s global reach, particularly in Europe.

 

As part of the Agreement the Seller was also obligated to (i) transfer certain intellectual property rights from the Seller to Movingdots, (ii) enter into a distribution agreement pursuant to which the Seller is allowed to promote the Movingdots solutions, and (iii) grant a license agreement between the Seller’s affiliates and Movingdots.

 

The warrant was valued using the Black-Scholes Model using the following assumptions at the date of issuance:

 

      
Expected volatility   50%
Expected term (in years)   10 
Risk free interest rate   3.50%
Dividend yield   0%
Fair value per share  $1.68 

 

Purchase Price Allocation

 

The Acquisition met the criteria for a business combination to be accounted for using the acquisition method under ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with the Company identified as the legal and the accounting acquirer. There was certain information that was not readily available at the time the financial statements of Movingdots were prepared as the Acquisition closed on March 31, 2023. For provisional purchase price allocation purposes, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are stated at their carrying values which management assumed approximates their fair values given their short-term nature. Also, the Company recognized approximately $0 and $500 of acquisition-related costs which were expensed in the consolidated statement of operations for the three- and -nine-month periods ending September 30, 2023, respectively.

The following table details the provisional allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of Movingdots:

 

      
Consideration:     
Cash  $- 
Fair value of Powerfleet warrants on March 31, 2023   1,347 
Total consideration  $1,347 
      
Assets acquired:     
Cash  $8,722 
Accounts receivable   247 
Prepaid expenses   103 
Other assets   270 
Inventory   96 
Fixed assets   372 
Total assets acquired   9,810 
      
Liabilities assumed:     
Accounts payable and accrued expenses   946 
Total liabilities assumed   946 
      
Total identifiable net assets acquired   8,864 
Gain on bargain purchase   (7,517)
Purchase price consideration  $1,347 

 

The provisional fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including intangibles, income taxes, and the non-cash consideration, are subject to subsequent adjustments as additional information is obtained during the applicable measurement period. Determining the fair values of the assets and liabilities of Movingdots required certain assumptions and judgment. During the second quarter of 2023, the valuation of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed were revised resulting in an increase in the gain on bargain purchase of $283

 

Consistent with the requirements of ASC 805, the Company assessed whether all assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been appropriately identified, measured and recognized, and performed re-measurements to verify that the consideration paid, assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been properly valued. After applying the requirements of ASC 805-30-25-4, the Company recognized a gain on bargain purchase as the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeded the purchase consideration transferred by approximately $7,517. Management believes that the recognized gain on bargain purchase represents the best estimates of the economic effect of the Acquisition based on all information that was available and existed as of the dates the financial statements were issued.

 

The gain on bargain purchase primarily resulted from the Seller’s motivation to divest its investment in Movingdots and its telematics business, which was deemed a non-core business of the Seller on a go-forward basis. The sale of Movingdots was not subject to a competitive bidding process. Under the Agreement, the Seller also agreed to make a cash injection into Movingdots prior to the Movingdots Closing in a form of additional paid in capital to ensure Movingdots had available cash in the amount of €8,000 to be used to ensure the liquidity of Movingdots and for broader combined business activities.

 

If the Company makes an on-sale transfer of any shares of Movingdots that were acquired in connection with the Acquisition at any time between the signing date of the Agreement and through 12 months after the Movingdots Closing, to any third-party purchaser (an “on-sale transfer”), for an amount that is in excess of the purchase price consideration transferred, then the Company shall pay the Seller an amount in cash (“on sale compensation”) equal to (i) €8,000, plus (ii) the difference between such on-sale transfer price less the purchase price net of the net present value of the Common Stock Warrants. The Company does not currently intend to enter into an on-sale transfer.

 

Management views that the insurance telematics and sustainability are important spaces for the Company to have propositions to enable future strategic value, supporting the more evolved, IOT data-rich mass subscription space. The acquisition of Movingdots and its business will, among other things:

 

open strategic relationships with some key customers such as Mercedes, BMW and Vodafone;
   
provide greater go-to-market opportunity to the Company with the European beachhead for future regional expansion, customer acquisition tool to upsell the Company’s portfolio into German and European markets, and maintain a distribution channel and partnership with the Seller; and
   
provide the Company with access to a team with technical skillsets across application development and management, cloud platform development, user experience/user interface design development and technical product management;

The unaudited combined pro forma revenue and earnings for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2023 were prepared as though the Acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2022. This summary is not necessarily indicative of what the results of operations would have been had the Acquisition occurred as of such date, nor does it purport to represent results of operations for any future periods.

 

NOTE 4 – CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents unless they are legally or contractually restricted. The Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and other local jurisdictional limits (in Israel and Germany). Restricted cash at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023 consists of cash held in escrow for purchases from a vendor.

NOTE 5 - REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company and its subsidiaries generate revenue from sales of systems and products and from customer SaaS and hosting infrastructure fees. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The expected costs associated with the Company’s base warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold (see Note 14).

 

Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. Product sales are recognized at a point in time when title transfers, when the products are shipped, or when control of the system is transferred to the customer, which usually is upon delivery of the system and when contractual performance obligations have been satisfied. For products which do not have standalone value to the customer separate from the SaaS services provided, the Company considers both hardware and SaaS services a bundled performance obligation. Under the applicable accounting guidance, all of the Company’s billings for equipment and the related cost for these systems are deferred, recorded, and classified as a current and long-term liability and a current and long-term asset, respectively. The deferred revenue and cost are recognized over the service contract life, ranging from one to five years, beginning at the time that a customer acknowledges acceptance of the equipment and service.

 

The Company recognizes revenue for remotely hosted SaaS agreements and post-contract maintenance and support agreements beyond our standard warranties over the life of the contract. Revenue is recognized ratably over the service periods and the cost of providing these services is expensed as incurred. Amounts invoiced to customers which are not recognized as revenue are classified as deferred revenue and classified as short-term or long-term based upon the terms of future services to be delivered. Deferred revenue also includes prepayment of extended maintenance, hosting and support contracts.

 

The Company earns other service revenues from installation services, training and technical support services which are short-term in nature and revenue for these services are recognized at the time of performance when the service is provided.

 

The Company also derives revenue from leasing arrangements. Such arrangements provide for monthly payments covering product or system sale, maintenance, support and interest. These arrangements meet the criteria to be accounted for as operating or sales-type leases. Accordingly, for sales-type leases an asset is established for the “sales-type lease receivable” at the present value of the expected lease payments and revenue is deferred and recognized over the service contract, as described above. Maintenance revenues and interest income are recognized monthly over the lease term.

 

The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on observable prices charged to customers or adjusted market assessment or using expected cost-plus margin when one is available. Adjusted market assessment price is determined based on overall pricing objectives taking into consideration market conditions and entity specific factors.

 

The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining the contract arising from the sales commissions to employees because the Company expects to recover those costs through future fees from the customers. The Company amortizes the asset over one to five years because the asset relates to the services transferred to the customer during the contract term of one to five years.

 

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.

 

The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue source for the three -and nine-months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023:

The balances of contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers are as follows as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023:

 

   December 31, 2022   September 30, 2023 
       (Unaudited) 
Assets:          
Deferred contract cost  $2,740   $2,591 
Deferred cost  $762   $191 
           
Liabilities          
Deferred revenue – services (1)  $9,815   $10,664 
Deferred revenue – products (1)   938    241 
           
Deferred revenue   10,753    10,905 
Less: Deferred revenue and contract liabilities – current portion   (6,363)   (6,101)
           
Deferred revenue and contract liabilities – less current portion  $4,390   $4,804 

 

(1) The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of the Company’s performance. For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $1,457 and $1,407, respectively, which was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each reporting period. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $5,349 and $5,413, respectively, which was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each reporting period. The Company expects to recognize as revenue these deferred revenue balances before the year 2028, when the services are performed and, therefore, satisfies its performance obligation to the customers.

 

NOTE 6 – ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

 

The Company’s receivables were evaluated to determine an appropriate allowance for credit losses. For trade receivables, the Company’s historical collections were analyzed by the number of days past due to determine the uncollectible rate in each range of days past due and considerations of any changes expected in the future. The estimate of the allowance for credit losses is charged to the allowance for credit losses based on the age of receivables multiplied by the historical uncollectible rate for the range of days past due or earlier if the account is deemed uncollectible for other reasons. Recoveries of amounts previously charged as uncollectible are credited to the allowance for credit losses.

 

An analysis of the allowance for credit losses for the period ended September 30, 2023 is as follows:

 

      
Allowance for credit losses, December 31, 2022
  $2,567 
Current period provision for expected credit losses   1,161 
Write-offs charged against the allowance   (1,131)
Foreign currency translation   80 
Allowance for credit losses, September 30, 2023  $2,677 

 

During the nine-months ended September 30, 2023, the change in the allowance for credit losses was due to the change in the age of trade receivables.

 

NOTE 7 – PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER ASSETS

 

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of the following:

 

   December 31, 2022   September 30, 2023

NOTE 10 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

 

Costs incurred internally in researching and developing software products are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, software costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established. The amortization of these costs will be included in cost of revenue over the estimated life of the products.

Global uncertainties continue to adversely impact the broader global economy and have caused significant volatility in financial markets. If there is a lack of recovery or further global softening in certain markets, or a sustained decline in the value of the Company’s common stock, the Company may conclude that indicators of impairment exist and would then be required to calculate whether or not an impairment exists for its goodwill, other intangibles, and long-lived assets, the results of which could result in material impairment charges. The Company tests goodwill and other indefinite lives intangible assets on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exists. As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023, the Company determined that no impairment existed to the goodwill, customer list and trademark and trade name of its acquired intangibles.

 

At September 30, 2023, the weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets was 8.5 years. At September 30, 2023, the weighted-average amortization periods for customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, patents, technology, and capitalized software to be sold or leased were 11.9, 9.6, 7.0, 4.3, and 3.0 years, respectively.

 

Amortization expense for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 was $1,267 and $3,816, respectively, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 was $1,766 and $4,285, respectively. Estimated future amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years for these intangible assets is as follows:

 

      
2023 (remaining)  $1,673 
2024   3,984 
2025   3,857 
2026   2,754 
2027   2,233 
Thereafter   6,491 
Finite-Lived intangible assets  $20,992 

 

There have been no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill from January 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023.

 

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not identify any indicators of impairment.

NOTE 11 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

During the first fiscal quarter of 2023, the Company granted 75 shares of restricted stock to certain executives, which vest in four equal installments over a four-year period, provided that the executive is employed by the Company on each scheduled vesting date.

 

During the first fiscal quarter of 2023, the Company granted options to purchase 405 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain executives, consisting of options to purchase 130 shares of common stock with time-based vesting conditions and options to purchase 275 shares of common stock with performance-based vesting conditions (which we refer to as “market-based stock options”). The options have an exercise price of $3.00. The market-based stock options will vest and become exercisable if the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during a consecutive 60-day trading period (the “60 Day VWAP”) reaches $12.00. The Company valued the market-based stock option awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model using a daily price forecast over ten years until expiration utilizing Geometric Brownian Motion that considers a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s common stock price, risk-free rate (3.7%), and expected stock price volatility (50%) over the expected life of awards (5.1 years). The weighted average fair value of market-based stock options granted during the period was $1.38.

 

During the second fiscal quarter of 2023, the Company issued 162 shares of restricted stock to certain employees, which vests over four equal installments over a four-year period, provided that the employee is employed by the Company on each scheduled vesting date.

 

During the second fiscal quarter of 2023, the Company issued options to purchase 930 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain employees, consisting of options to purchase 340 shares of common stock with time-based vesting conditions and options to purchase 590 shares of common stock with performance-based vesting conditions (which we refer to as “market-based stock options”). The options have an exercise price of $3.13. The market-based stock options will vest and become exercisable if the 60 Day VWAP reaches $12.00. The Company valued the market-based stock option awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model using a daily price forecast over ten years until expiration utilizing Geometric Brownian Motion that considers a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s common stock price, risk-free rate (3.7%), and expected stock price volatility (50%) over the expected life of awards (5.1 years). The weighted average fair value of market-based stock options issued during the period was $1.56

 
During the third fiscal quarter of 2023, the Company granted 900 shares of restricted stock to Steve Towe, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, which vest over four equal installments over a four-year period, provided that the Mr. Towe is employed by the Company on each scheduled vesting date. Additionally, 82 shares of restricted stock were granted to certain members of the board of directors, which vest in full on the date of grant, provided that the director is a director of the Company on such date.

The fair value of each option grant on the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model reflecting the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

   2022   2023 
   September 30, 
   2022   2023 
         
Expected volatility   49.4%   55.6%
Expected life of options (in years)   7    6 
Risk free interest rate   1.73%   3.87%
Dividend yield   0%   0%
Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year  $2.04   $1.66 

 

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and the expected life of options is based on historical data with respect to employee exercise periods.

 

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $809 and $2,110 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $781 and $1,984 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, in connection with awards made under the stock option plans.

 

The fair value of options vested during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2023 was $409 and $582, respectively.

 

18
 

 

As of September 30, 2023, there was $1,561 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted under the Company’s stock option plans that exclude the market-based stock options that were granted to certain senior managers, including the Company’s executive officers. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.57 years.

 

As of September 30, 2023, there was $5,245 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted under the Company’s stock option plans for the market-based stock options that were granted to certain senior managers, including the Company’s executive officers. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.11 years.

 

The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of valuation and reduces expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate is adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate.

 

[B] Restricted Stock Awards:

 

The Company grants restricted stock to employees, whereby the employees are contractually restricted from transferring the shares until they are vested. The stock is unvested at the time of grant and, upon vesting, there are no legal restrictions on the stock. The fair value of each share is based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of the grant. A summary of all non-vested restricted stock for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 is as follows:

 

   Number of Non-
Vested Shares
   Weighted-
Average Grant
Date Fair Value
 
         
Restricted stock, non-vested, beginning of year   706   $4.75 
Granted   1,219    2.42 
Vested   (237)   4.18 
Forfeited   (141)   5.50 
           
Restricted stock, non-vested, end of period   1,547   $2.94 

 

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expenses of $254 and $997 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $320 and $801 for the three -and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, in connection with restricted stock grants. As of September 30, 2023, there was $3,704 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested shares. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.16 years.

NOTE 12 - NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

Net loss per share for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2023 are as follows:

 

   2022   2023   2022   2023 
   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   September 30,   September 30, 
   2022   2023   2022   2023 
Basic and diluted loss per share                    
Net loss attributable to common stockholders  $(3,535)  $(4,969)  $(8,994)  $(5,749)
                     
Weighted-average common share outstanding – basic and diluted   35,406    35,653    35,375    35,602 
                     
Net loss attributable to common stockholders – basic and diluted  $(0.10)  $(0.14)  $(0.25)  $(0.16)

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution assuming common shares were issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase outstanding common shares. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, warrants and restricted stock and performance share awards. We include participating securities (unvested share-based payment awards and equivalents that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents) in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Our participating securities consist solely of preferred stock, which have contractual participation rights equivalent to those of stockholders of unrestricted common stock. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an allocation method that calculates earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. During periods of net loss, no effect is given to the participating securities because they do not share in the losses of the Company. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, the basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are the same, since the effect from the potential exercise of outstanding stock options, conversion of preferred stock, and vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units totaling 16,517 and 18,265, respectively, would have been anti-dilutive due to the loss.

Long-Term Debt

 

In connection with the Transactions, Powerfleet Israel incurred NIS denominated debt in term loan borrowings on October 3, 2019 which was the closing date of the Transactions (the “Closing Date”), under the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which Hapoalim agreed to provide Powerfleet Israel with two senior secured term loan facilities in an initial aggregate principal amount of $30,000 (comprised of two facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $20,000 and $10,000, respectively (the “Term A Facility” and “Term B Facility”, respectively, and collectively, the “Term Facilities”)) and a five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) to Pointer denominated in NIS in an initial aggregate principal amount of $10,000 (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”). As of September 30, 2023, the Company borrowed NIS8,420, or $2,200, under the Revolving Facility. 

 

The Credit Facilities will mature on the date that is five years from the Closing Date, or October 3, 2024. The indicative interest rate provided for the Term Facilities in the original Credit Agreement was approximately 4.73% for the Term A Facility and 5.89% for the Term B Facility. The interest rate for the Revolving Facility is, with respect to NIS-denominated loans, Hapoalim’s prime rate + 2.5%, and with respect to US dollar-denominated loans, LIBOR + 4.6% (amended to SOFR + 2.15%). In addition, the Company agreed to pay a 1% commitment fee on the unutilized and uncancelled availability under the Revolving Facility. The Credit Facilities are secured by the shares held by Powerfleet Israel in Pointer and by Pointer over all of its assets. The original Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants (including the following financial covenants, tested quarterly: Pointer’s net debt to EBITDA; Pointer’s net debt to working capital; minimum equity of Powerfleet Israel; Powerfleet Israel equity to total assets; Powerfleet Israel net debt to EBITDA; and Pointer EBITDA to current payments and events of default).

 

On August 23, 2021, the Borrowers entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”), effective as of August 1, 2021, to the Credit Agreement with Hapoalim. The Amendment memorializes the agreements between the Borrowers and Hapoalim regarding a reduction in the interest rates of the two Term Facilities. Pursuant to the Amendment, commencing as of November 12, 2020, the interest rate with respect to the Term A Facility was reduced to a fixed rate of 3.65% per annum and the interest rate with respect to the Term B Facility was reduced to a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum. The Amendment also provides, among other things, for (i) a reduction in the credit allocation fee on undrawn and uncancelled amounts of the Revolving Facility from 1% to 0.5% per annum, (ii) removal of the requirement that Powerfleet Israel maintain $3,000 on deposit in a separate reserve fund, and (iii) modifications to certain of the affirmative and negative covenants, including a financial covenant regarding the ratio of the Borrowers’ debt levels to Pointer’s EBITDA. The Company is in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2023. 

 

In connection with the Credit Facilities, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $742. For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, the Company recorded $49 and $29, respectively, of amortization of the debt issuance costs. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, the Company recorded $168 and $108, respectively, of amortization of the debt issuance costs. The Company recorded charges of $196 and $132 to interest expense on its consolidated statements of operations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively, related to interest expense associated with the Credit Facilities. The Company recorded charges of $642 and $445 to interest expense on its consolidated statements of operations for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively, related to interest expense associated with the Credit Facilities.

 

On October 31, 2022, the Borrowers entered into the Third Amendment with Hapoalim. The Third Amendment provides for, among other things, the New Revolver. The New Revolver will be available for a period of one month, commencing on October 31, 2022, and will continue to be available for successive one-month periods until and including October 30, 2023, unless the Borrowers deliver a notice to Hapoalim of their request not to renew the New Revolver. As of September 30, 2023, the Company borrowed NIS32,500, or $8,500, under the New Revolver. 

 

The New Revolver will initially bear interest at the SOFR + 2.59%. Such interest is subject to monthly changes by Hapoalim, provided that Hapoalim gives Pointer advance notice regarding such change prior to the end of the applicable calendar month.

 

The New Revolver is secured by a first ranking fixed pledge and assignment by Pointer over its new bank account, which was opened in connection with the New Revolver, and all of the rights relating thereunder as well as a cross guarantee by Powerfleet Israel.

 

Pointer is required to pay a credit allocation fee equal to 0.5% per annum on undrawn and uncancelled amounts of the New Revolver.

 

Scheduled maturities of the long-term debt as of September 30, 2023 are as follows:

 

      
October 2023 - September 2024  $1,433 
October 2024   9,617 
Long Term debt   11,050 
Less: Current portion   1,433 
Total  $9,617 

 

The Term B Facility is not subject to amortization over the life of the loan and instead the original principal amount is due in one installment on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.
