Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Powerfleet, Inc. reported stronger results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, with total revenue rising 7% year-over-year to $113.5 million and services revenue up 11% to $91.1 million, now 80% of total revenue. Operating profit reached $6.3 million compared with a $1.2 million loss a year ago, while net loss narrowed to $3.4 million, or $0.03 per share, from $14.3 million, or $0.11 per share. Adjusted EBITDA increased 26% to $25.7 million, expanding margin to 23% from 19%. The company highlighted a major South Africa public sector contract covering fleets with more than 100,000 assets and updated full-year 2026 guidance to revenue of $440–$445 million and approximately 45% adjusted EBITDA growth, while still expecting leverage (adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA) to improve from 3.4x to about 2.4x by March 31, 2026.

Positive

  • Strong profitable growth: Q3 revenue rose 7% to $113.5 million, services revenue grew 11% to $91.1 million, operating income turned positive at $6.3 million, and adjusted EBITDA increased 26% to $25.7 million with margin expanding to 23% from 19%.
  • Improved outlook and deleveraging: Full-year 2026 revenue guidance was raised to $440–$445 million, adjusted EBITDA is expected to grow about 45%, and adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA is projected to fall from 3.4x to approximately 2.4x by March 31, 2026.

Negative

  • Continuing GAAP losses and trimmed EBITDA growth range: Despite improvements, the company still reported a Q3 net loss of $3.4 million, and 2026 adjusted EBITDA growth guidance was narrowed to about 45% from a prior 45%–55% range as operating expenses remain elevated to support future growth.

Insights

Powerfleet posts higher revenue, stronger margins and raises 2026 revenue outlook.

Powerfleet grew Q3 revenue to $113.5 million, up 7% year-over-year, led by services revenue of $91.1 million, an 11% increase. Services now contribute 80% of total revenue, supporting a more recurring, SaaS-like mix.

Profitability improved meaningfully: income from operations was $6.3 million versus a $1.2 million loss, and net loss narrowed to $3.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA rose 26% to $25.7 million, with margin expanding to 23% from 19%, reflecting cost synergies and operating leverage after the MiX Telematics and Fleet Complete deals.

Management tightened full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $440–$445 million (up from $435–$445 million) and now targets roughly 45% adjusted EBITDA growth. The leverage ratio (adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA) is expected to improve from 3.4x at March 31, 2025 to about 2.4x by March 31, 2026, aided by higher earnings despite continued investment to support a more than 100,000-subscriber South Africa public sector contract beginning to ramp in the second half of fiscal 2027.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

 

“This was the first quarter in which year-over-year results reflect the total combined businesses, and Powerfleet delivered another quarter of solid execution across the organization,” said Steve Towe, Chief Executive Officer of Powerfleet. “Total revenue reached a company high of $113.5 million, driven by strong recurring revenue growth reflecting an 11% year-over-year increase in high value services which now represents 80% of total revenue.”

 

“In Q3 we were awarded a major South Africa public sector contract to deliver meaningful AI video and visibility recurring services to fleets collectively operating more than 100,000 total assets - a landmark proof point of Unity’s ability to secure large scale wins across mission-critical operations. As a result of this we are maintaining investments in operating expenses to satisfy an expected material increase in future demand,” added Towe.

 

“Operationally, we are continuing to see the benefits of disciplined execution and robust cost synergy realization. Adjusted EBITDA increased 26% year-over-year to $25.7 million; operating income improved to $6.3 million, and adjusted EBITDA margins expanded to 23% from 19% in the prior year period,” concluded Towe.

THIRD QUARTER FY2026 FINANCIAL METRICS:

 

Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Key GAAP Measures.

 

Total revenue reached $113.5 million, an increase of 7% year-over-year, driven by expanding adoption of Powerfleet’s AIoT platform. Q3 FY25 revenue of $106.4 million included $2.0 million of unbundled product revenue from the legacy Fleet Complete business, which ceased to be accelerated effective April 1, 2025.
   
Gross profit increased 7% year-over-year to $62.7 million, with gross margin remaining consistent at 55%, compared to $58.8 million and a 55% margin in Q3 FY25.
   
Income from operations was $6.3 million compared to an operating loss of $1.2 million in the prior year.
   
Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $3.4 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of $14.3 million, or $0.11 per share, in the prior year.
   
Net loss margin improved to 3% from 13% in the prior year.

 

Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Key Non-GAAP Measures.

 

Adjusted EBITDA increased 26% year-over-year to $25.7 million from $20.5 million1 reflecting organic revenue growth, strong operating leverage, and disciplined cost management.
   
Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 23% from 19% in the prior year, driven by the realization of cost synergies and underlying operating leverage.
   
Adjusted net income per share was $0.02, up from $0.01 in the prior-year quarter, excluding restructuring, integration-related costs, and amortization of intangible assets.
   
Adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA2 improved to 2.7x, compared to 3.4x at fiscal year-end 2025. Quarter-end total debt, cash and net debt were $277.5 million, $35.9 million and $241.6 million, respectively.

 

 

1 Prior-year Adjusted EBITDA recast to reflect methodology refinement disclosed in Q2 FY26. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for details.

2 Adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which the Company defines as total debt, less cash, and divided by trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA, as defined herein. See “Annex A: Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for details

FULL-YEAR 2026 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

 

The Company is updating its full-year guidance to reflect recent performance and planned investments.

 

Revenue guidance has been tightened, with full-year revenue now expected to be in the range of $440 million to $445 million, compared to prior guidance of $435 million to $445 million.

 

The Company now expects adjusted EBITDA growth of approximately 45% year-over-year, compared to prior guidance of 45% to 55%, reflecting retained investments in operating expenses required to support the anticipated revenue ramp from the more than 100,000 subscriber South Africa public sector opportunity beginning in the second half of fiscal year 2027.

 

Adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio is expected to improve by approximately one full turn, from 3.4x as of March 31, 2025, to approximately 2.4x by March 31, 2026, compared to prior guidance of an improvement to approximately 2.25x.

 

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.

Powerfleet management will hold a conference call on Monday, February 9, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time (5:30 a.m. Pacific time) to discuss results for the third quarter fiscal 2026 ended December 31, 2025, and provide a business update.

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, 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 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 income (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 nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, we reported adjusted EBITDA of $20.5 million and $48.7 million, and $25.7 million and $70.6 million, respectively. During the same periods, we also invoiced recoveries of $2.0 million and $2.0 million, and $1.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively, which are included in cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
