I.D. Systems, Inc. Reports First Quarter Financial Results
Hackensack, NJ, May 11, 2010—I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2010. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010, increased 109% to $6.1 million, compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was attributable primarily to service contracts held by I.D. Systems’ Asset Intelligence business unit, which was acquired from General Electric Company in January, 2010. Asset Intelligence currently averages approximately $1.1 million per month in recurring revenue under multi-year contracts.
Gross margin for the first quarter of 2010 was 55.3%, compared to 54.2% for the corresponding period in 2009. Net loss for the quarter was $4.1 million, or ($0.36) per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $3.1 million, or ($0.28) per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2009. Excluding $454,000 in stock-based compensation expense, non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2010 was $3.6 million, or ($0.32) per basic and diluted share.
As of March 31, 2010, excluding a $9.5 million line of credit, I.D. Systems had $30.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and $35.7 million of working capital.
The acquisition of Asset Intelligence—a leading provider of wireless solutions for tracking and managing trailers, containers, and other supply chain assets—was one of several first quarter highlights. The acquisition expands the scope of I.D. Systems’ asset management solutions, broadens the Company’s customer base, and establishes a more stable recurring revenue stream. In addition, integrating Asset Intelligence resources has enabled synergies expected to lead to significant operational cost reductions in 2010.
Other highlights for the first quarter included:
| · | Follow-on purchase orders from Audi AG, a division of Volkswagen, to expand its deployment of I.D. Systems’ PowerFleet™ Wireless Vehicle Management System for industrial trucks in a major automotive plant in Germany. |
| · | A follow-on purchase order from American Eagle Airlines to expand its use of I.D. Systems’ AvRamp® Wireless Vehicle Management System for a fleet of aircraft ground support equipment at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, and the subsequent naming of AvRamp® as the winner of an aviation industry award for engineering innovation. |
| · | New contracts for Asset Intelligence products and services, including from Royal Freight, a North American carrier that will initially equip 750 dry van trailers with Asset Intelligence’s VeriWise™ trailer tracking and management technology. |
| · | The award of two patents covering vehicle access control and luggage tracking, which expand I.D. Systems’ intellectual property portfolio and further differentiate I.D. Systems’ solutions. |
“We are committed to improving our financial results in 2010, and the acquisition and integration of the Asset Intelligence business was a key step in our efforts,” said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D. Systems’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “At the end of the first quarter of 2010, we initiated a series of staff consolidations expected to reduce employee count by more than 30% by July 31, 2010. This and other cost management initiatives are expected ultimately to decrease I.D. Systems’ consolidated annual operating expenses by approximately $8 million.
“We are also pleased with the expanded use of our wireless vehicle management system by key customers, the contribution of the Asset Intelligence business to our revenue stream, and the expansion of our patent portfolio, which we believe reflects our continuing industry leadership and technical competitive advantages.
“We are determined to control costs, maintain robust gross margins, and grow revenues,” concluded Mr. Jagid, “and we expect to achieve profitability in 2011. Our goal remains to become a preeminent provider of wireless asset management technology and deliver superior long-term shareholder value.”
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010, were $6.5 million, reflecting post-acquisition payroll and expenses prior to staff consolidation, compared to $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2009. Research and development expenditures for the first quarter of 2010 were $1.2 million, compared to $689,000 for the corresponding period in 2009, reflecting investments in new Asset Intelligence products coming to market in 2010.
