Management Commentary
“The second quarter of 2012 marked our tenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth, and our revenue for the first half of the year improved to a record $18.5 million, up 14% from the same point in 2011,” said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D. Systems’ chairman and CEO. “We are currently on pace to achieve our second year in a row of record annual revenue.
“We continue to make progress on our strategic objectives of diversifying revenue sources, maintaining a predictable stream of recurring revenue, and sustaining high gross margins. Our revenue is being generated by a balanced mix of market segments, products and services. Only one of our customers accounted for more than 10% of our revenue in the first half of 2012. Our recurring revenue was 49% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2012. And our overall gross margin remained strong and stable at more than 50% for both the three-month and six-month periods. We look forward to building on this positive momentum for the remainder of the year and into 2013.
“Our outlook for the rest of 2012 is especially strong due to expected deliveries of rental fleet management units to Avis Budget Group,” added Mr. Jagid. “In July 2012, Avis issued delivery orders for approximately 20,000 units, representing the balance of the 25,000 units earmarked for deployment across the Northeast U.S. and Canada under our master agreement. We expect to deliver all 20,000 units in the third quarter of 2012.”
