CalAmp Announces Court Ruling in Omega Patent Infringement Case

IRVINE, Calif., April 11, 2017

On April 5, 2017, the trial court judge awarded Omega trebled damages in the aggregate amount of $8.9 million plus attorneys' fees in an amount to be determined, but denied Omega's request for an injunction.  CalAmp recorded a reserve of $2.9 million in February 2016 at the time of the jury verdict, and recorded an additional reserve of $6.0 million in its financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2017 as a result of the judge's award of trebled damages. The $6.0 million charge will impact fiscal 2017 GAAP-basis results of operations by $0.11 per diluted share but will not impact fiscal 2017 non-GAAP earnings per share or Adjusted EBITDA. The Company is scheduled to announce its fiscal 2017 fourth quarter and full year results on April 18.

CalAmp's position has always been, and remains, that it does not infringe Omega's patents and that Omega's patents are invalid.   CalAmp intends to challenge the judgment through all appropriate motions with the trial court, an appeal at the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit if necessary, and the ongoing ex parte reexaminations of Omega's patents at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
