Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the information presented in this news release may constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In this context, forward-looking
statements often address expected future business and financial
performance and often contain words such as “may,” “estimate,”
“anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “will”
and similar words and phrases indicating future results. The information
presented in this news release related to our outlook for the first
quarter ending March 31, 2019 and our future business outlook, the
future demand for our products, as well as other statements that are not
purely statements of historical fact, are forward-looking in nature.
These forward-looking statements are made on the basis of management’s
current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections and are
subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those anticipated in such
forward-looking statements. We therefore cannot guarantee future
results, performance or achievements. Actual results could differ
materially from our expectations.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
Company’s expectations include: (1) the future demand for wireless
broadband access to data and asset management software and services;
(2) the growth of wireless wide-area networking and asset management
software and services; (3) customer and end-user acceptance of the
Company’s current product and service offerings and market demand for
the Company’s anticipated new product and service offerings;
(4) increased competition and pricing pressure from participants in the
markets in which the Company is engaged; (5) dependence on third-party
manufacturers and key component suppliers worldwide; (6) the impact that
new or adjusted tariffs may have on the cost of components or our
products, and our ability to sell products internationally; (7) the
impact of fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates; (8) the
impact of geopolitical instability on our ability to source components
and manufacture our products; (9) unexpected liabilities or expenses;
(10) the Company’s ability to introduce new products and services in a
timely manner, including the ability to develop and launch 5G products
at the speed and functionality required by our customers;
(11) litigation, regulatory and IP developments related to our products
or components of our products; (12) dependence on a small number of
customers for a significant portion of the Company’s revenues; and
(13) the Company’s plans and expectations relating to acquisitions,
divestitures, strategic relationships, international expansion, software
and hardware developments, personnel matters and cost containment
initiatives, including restructuring activities and the timing of their
implementation.

These factors, as well as other factors set forth as risk factors or
otherwise described in the reports filed by the Company with the SEC
(available at www.sec.gov),
could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
the Company’s forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no
obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any
reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur
in the future, except as otherwise required pursuant to applicable law
and our on-going reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Inseego Corp. has provided financial information in this news release
that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP operating
expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per
share exclude share-based compensation expense, amortization of
intangible assets purchased through acquisitions, a gain related to the
extinguishment of certain acquisition-related liabilities, amortization
of discount and issuance costs related to the Company’s convertible
senior notes and term loan, restructuring charges, net of recoveries,
and impairment charges related to certain product lines the Company
abandoned, net of recoveries, as well as the impairment of certain other
assets of one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Adjusted EBITDA
also excludes interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (unrelated
to acquisitions, the convertible senior notes and the term loans) and
foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

Non-GAAP operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net income (loss) and net
income (loss) per share are supplemental measures of our performance
that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. These
non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and
are not intended to be used in isolation or as a substitute for
operating expenses, net loss, net loss per share or any other
performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. We present
non-GAAP operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net income (loss) and net
income (loss) per share because we consider each to be an important
supplemental measure of our performance.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to make operational
decisions, evaluate the Company’s performance, prepare forecasts and
determine compensation. Further, management believes that both
management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP
financial measures in assessing the Company’s performance when planning,
forecasting and analyzing future periods. Share-based compensation
expenses are expected to vary depending on the number of new incentive
award grants issued to both current and new employees, the number of
such grants forfeited by former employees, and changes in the Company’s
stock price, stock market volatility, expected option term and risk-free
interest rates, all of which are difficult to estimate. In calculating
non-GAAP operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net income (loss) and net
income (loss) per share, management excludes certain non-cash and
one-time items in order to facilitate comparability of the Company’s
operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such expenses
are not, in management’s view, related to the Company’s ongoing
operating performance. Management uses this view of the Company’s
operating performance for purposes of comparison with its business plan
and individual operating budgets and in the allocation of resources.

The Company further believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are
useful to investors in providing greater transparency to the information
used by management in its operational decision-making. The Company
believes that the use of non-GAAP operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA,
net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share also facilitates a
comparison of our underlying operating performance with that of other
companies in our industry, which use similar non-GAAP financial measures
to supplement their GAAP results.

In the future, the Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar
to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these
items in the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures should not
be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or
non-recurring. Investors and potential investors are cautioned that
there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP
financial measures as an analytical tool. The limitations of relying on
non-GAAP financial measures include, but are not limited to, the fact
that other companies, including other companies in our industry, may
calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting
their usefulness as a comparative tool.

Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the
reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures contained within this
news release with our GAAP financial results.
