SEC filingRevenue grew 38% to $104.1M on Fleet Complete acquisition and services growth; gross margin expanded 160 bps to 54.2%.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, PowerFleet reported total revenue of $104.1 million, up 38.0% from $75.4 million in the prior-year quarter, driven primarily by the acquisition of Fleet Complete (closed October 1, 2024). Product revenue declined 5.8% to $17.7 million due to lower sales in North America and Europe, partially offset by $3.2 million from Fleet Complete. Services revenue surged 52.5% to $86.5 million, reflecting $26.2 million from Fleet Complete and organic growth initiatives. Gross profit increased to $56.5 million from $39.6 million, with gross margin improving 160 basis points to 54.2%. Product gross margin fell sharply to 25.1% from 32.0%, impacted by US tariffs raising costs and delaying demand for high-margin in-warehouse solutions. Services gross margin improved 80 basis points to 60.2%, benefiting from scale and cost management.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 2.0% to $53.7 million, though as a percentage of revenue they improved dramatically from 72.6% to 51.5%, driven by lower acquisition-related costs and cost synergies. Research and development expenses increased 56.6% to $4.9 million, largely from Fleet Complete. Net loss attributable to common stockholders narrowed to $10.2 million ($0.08 per share) from $22.3 million ($0.21 per share), primarily due to higher gross profit and lower SG&A. Adjusted EBITDA rose 57.6% to $21.6 million from $13.7 million.
The company reports revenue by product and services lines rather than operating segments. The revenue mix continued shifting toward services, which represented 83.0% of total revenue in the current quarter versus 75.2% a year ago. Services revenue growth outpaced product declines, reflecting the strategic emphasis on recurring subscription-based solutions. The Fleet Complete acquisition added significant services revenue and contributed to margin expansion, while product margins faced headwinds from tariff-related cost increases.
Management acknowledged ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties including higher interest rates, currency fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, and tariff policy changes. They noted proactive measures to increase cash on hand, such as reducing discretionary spending and capital expenditures, and utilizing revolving credit facilities. No specific numerical guidance was provided, but the company highlighted expectations for large-scale deployments and the potential for uneven quarterly revenue due to long sales cycles and sporadic large orders. The integration of MiX Telematics and Fleet Complete continues, with early realization of operational synergies. The company did not provide forward revenue or margin guidance in the MD&A section.

As of June 30, 2025, PowerFleet held $31.2M in cash and cash equivalents, with restricted cash of $4.4M. Total liquidity (cash & restricted) stood at $35.6M. Total debt was $270.4M ($37.4M current, $233.0M long-term), down from $273.8M at March 31, 2025, driven by scheduled repayments. Shareholders' equity increased to $460.9M from $446.7M, primarily due to foreign currency translation gains of $22.5M. Inventory rose to $23.9M from $18.4M, reflecting higher finished goods. Deferred revenue remained stable at $22.2M.
The filing disclosed no material purchase commitments or contractual obligations. Note 22 outlines a potential clawback liability to MTN of $565K and litigation matters, but no provisions were deemed probable. Therefore, purchase commitments are not applicable.
No share buybacks or dividends were executed during the quarter. Capital expenditures totaled $11.8M (8.1M in fixed assets and 3.7M in capitalized software), representing 11.4% of revenue. Debt activity consisted of $1.3M in long-term repayments and a net $5.4M reduction in short-term bank debt. No new debt was issued.
The company operates as a single segment: wireless AIoT asset management. Revenue for Q2 2025 was $104.1M, up 38% YoY, led by services revenue ($86.5M vs $56.7M). Geographically, North America contributed $37.4M (36%), Africa $25.5M (24%), Israel $13.3M (13%), Europe & Middle East $12.4M (12%), Australia $10.6M (10%), and other regions $5.0M (5%). Long-lived assets were concentrated in Africa ($34.5M) and North America ($14.8M).
Operating cash flow of $4.7M turned positive despite a net loss of $(10.2M), reflecting strong non-cash adjustments. Depreciation and amortization of $16.0M and stock-based compensation of $1.9M were the primary add-backs. Working capital provided $1.6M, driven by a $9.6M increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by inventory build ($4.7M) and receivables growth ($2.4M). Capex of $8.1M (including capitalized software of $3.7M) represents significant reinvestment, consistent with the company's growth strategy. Free cash flow was not explicitly stated but would be negative at $(3.4M) after subtracting capex from CFO. Investing cash flow of $(11.8M) was entirely capex-related, with no material acquisitions. Financing cash flow of $(6.8M) included debt repayments and short-term debt reduction. The company ended the period with $35.6M in cash and restricted cash, down from $48.8M. Overall, cash generation improved markedly from the prior year's $(7.6M) operating outflow, though capex intensity remains high.
