Insights

Senior Financial Analyst

Strong revenue and margin gains, raised guidance; adjusted EBITDA and leverage improvements drive a positive operational beat.

Powerfleet delivered a clear revenue acceleration with total revenue of $111.7 million, up 45% year‑over‑year and sequentially by 7.3%, and services revenue of $89.3 million up 57% year‑over‑year. Gross profit rose to $62.6 million with a gross margin of 56%, while adjusted EBITDA reached $24.8 million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 22%, reflecting both top‑line expansion and operating leverage.

Key dependencies and risks are explicit in the disclosure: adjusted measures exclude certain historical recoveries and the company changed its EBITDA adjustment policy for pre‑acquisition Fleet Complete invoiced recoveries, which reduced the FY25 comparable adjusted EBITDA by $4.0 million. The current period also included a $4.6 million non‑cash amortization charge that tempered gross margin by about 4%. Net loss widened to $4.3 million, driven by higher interest and amortization, and quarter‑end net debt remains $242.6 million (total debt $275.1 million, cash $32.5 million), so leverage metrics remain material to credit and capital flexibility assessments.

Concrete items to watch over the next six months include execution toward the revised FY26 revenue range of $435 million–$445 million, progress on adjusted EBITDA growth against the amended FY25 base, and the targeted adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA of approximately 2.25x by March 31, 2026. Also monitor disclosure changes and any reconciliation details in Annex A and management commentary at the investor day on November 14, 2025 for clarity on non‑GAAP adjustments and cash conversion timing.

Total revenue of $111.7 million, an increase of 45% in total and 9% organically year-over-year from $77.0M in Q2 FY25.

Services revenue of $89.3 million, an increase of 57% in total and 12% organically year-over-year from $56.7 million in Q2 FY25.

Gross profit of $62.6 million, an increase of 11% sequentially from $56.5 million in Q1 FY26.

Raising FY26 total revenue guidance to $435-$445 million from $430-$440 million.

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Powerfleet, Inc. ("Powerfleet" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: AIOT) reported its financial results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2025.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY:

"Q2 was a defining quarter for Powerfleet, marked by record revenue and strong performance across key financial and operational metrics," said Steve Towe, Chief Executive Officer of Powerfleet. "A quarterly sequential increase in total revenue of more than 7%, driven by expanding momentum in our AI-powered SaaS solutions and solid growth across our core global markets, is extremely encouraging."

"We achieved a key milestone – double-digit year-over-year organic annual recurring revenue growth – ahead of schedule, fueled by strong global traction across both direct and indirect channels, centered on our differentiated safety and compliance solutions," Towe continued. "Strong product revenue with a sequential revenue improvement of 27%, as well as solid sequential margin expansion, highlight continued momentum and resilience amid evolving macroeconomic conditions. We also delivered clear leverage across the P&L, with the rapid realization of our synergy programs driving meaningful bottom-line strength."

"These results underscore the significant value creation opportunity ahead and establish a strong platform for sustained growth and future performance."

SECOND QUARTER FY2026 FINANCIAL METRICS:

Powerfleet's second quarter results underscore the strength of its execution, with accelerating services revenue and strong momentum toward its adjusted EBITDA expansion targets.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Key GAAP Measures.

• Total revenue reached a record $111.7 million, an increase of 45% year-over-year and 7.3% sequentially, driven by expanding adoption of Powerfleet's AIoT platform.
• Gross profit increased 51% year-over-year to $62.6 million with a gross margin of 56%, compared to a gross profit of $41.3 million with a gross margin of 54% in Q2 FY25. The current period includes an incremental $4.6 million non-cash amortization charge for intangible assets, tempering gross margin expansion by approximately 4%.
• Sales, general and administrative expenses were 48% of revenue in both the current and prior year period, with a 5% planned increase in sales and marketing expenses, to support the Company's growth, offset by a corresponding decrease in general and administrative expenses.
• Research and development expenses, net of capitalized software, represented 4% of revenue, in both the current and prior year period.
• Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $4.3 million, or $0.03 per share, reflecting higher interest expenses and non-cash amortization of intangible assets, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.9 million, or $0.02 per share, in the prior year.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 key non-GAAP measures.

• Adjusted EBITDA increased 23% sequentially and 71% year-over-year to $24.8 million, reflecting strong operating leverage, disciplined cost management, and improved gross margins. In addition, the Company invoiced $1.3 million of in-vehicle device recoveries related to legacy Fleet Complete customers. These amounts generate operating cash flow and have historically been treated as an EBITDA add-back. (See the "Full Year 2026 Financial Outlook" section of this release for additional context.)
• Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 22%, up from 19% in the prior quarter and 19% in the prior year.
• Adjusted EBITDA gross margin increased to 68%, a 400-basis-point improvement year-over-year, supported by a higher mix of recurring services revenue and stronger services gross margins (77% vs. 75% last year).
• Adjusted net income per share was $0.02, compared to $0.00 in the prior-year quarter, after adjusting for restructuring and integration-related expenses and amortization of intangible assets.
• Adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA improved to 2.9x, compared to 3.4x at fiscal year-end 2025. Quarter-end net debt was $242.6 million, consisting of $275.1 million in total debt and $32.5 million in cash.

FULL-YEAR 2026 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK:

The Company is increasing its financial guidance for revenue, with revenue now expected to be in the range of $435 million to $445 million versus the prior guidance of approximately $430 million to $440 million.

Following a detailed review of relevant SEC guidance on disclosure of non-GAAP financial measures, the Company concluded that its presentation of adjusted EBITDA will no longer include an EBITDA adjustment for "Recognition of pre-October 1, 2024, contract assets (Fleet Complete)."  These amounts relate to limited hardware delivered by Fleet Complete prior to the acquisition but only invoiced and collected thereafter. The EBITDA adjustment was applied during a finite accounting transition period and was intended to align reported results more closely with operating cash flows.

As a result of this change, the Company is amending its prior FY26 annual guidance for:

• Annual adjusted EBITDA growth of 45-55% on FY25 adjusted EBITDA of $67.1 million, versus the prior guidance of growth of 45-55% on FY25 adjusted EBITDA of $71.1 million. The $4.0 million FY25 adjusted EBITDA variance relates solely to invoiced recoveries, which remain in operating cash flows but are no longer added back to adjusted EBITDA. (See Annex A).
• Adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio, which is expected to improve from 3.4x as of March 31, 2025, to approximately 2.25x by March 31, 2026, versus the prior guidance of improving from 3.2x to below 2.25x by March 31, 2026.

Powerfleet provides guidance for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio, 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 adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio. 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.

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 organic revenue growth adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA gross margin, adjusted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio, 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 net income, net income margin, gross margin, net income per share 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.

Annex A: Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In 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, 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, 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 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 costs, 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. We define adjusted net debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, 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, 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, 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.

(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 and six months ended September 30, 2025, in addition to adjusted EBITDA of $24.8 million and $44.9 million, respectively, we invoiced recoveries of $1.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively. These amounts are included in cash flow from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
