WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Feb. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Powerfleet, Inc. ("Powerfleet" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: AIOT) reported its financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025.
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.

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.
