I.D. Systems, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Financial Results

HACKENSACK, N.J., Nov. 1, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- I.D. Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDSY) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2007. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007, were $6.5 million, compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. GAAP net loss for the quarter was $790,000, or ($0.07) per basic and diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $632,000, or $.06 per basic share and $.05 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2006.

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $43,000, or break-even on a per-share basis, compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.4 million, or $0.13 per basic share and $0.11 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2006. Non-GAAP results were calculated by adjusting GAAP net income (loss) for the impact of stock-based compensation, which was $833,000 for the third quarter of 2007 and $785,000 for the third quarter of 2006. A table entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" is included in this press release.

"We are pleased with the quarter on several fronts," said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D. Systems' chairman and chief executive officer. "We received significant repeat business from several of our core customers, for whom our unique wireless technology continues to provide economic benefits by controlling, tracking and managing industrial vehicles. Our newly expanded, restructured sales and marketing organization has also made significant strides toward achieving its goal of diversifying our customer base and sources of revenue. I am also pleased to note that our gross margins remain strong. We are optimistic about the fourth quarter as well, as we focus on continued growth and a smoother, more predictable stream of quarter-to-quarter revenue."

For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, gross profit margin was 49.8%, compared to 44.3% for the corresponding period in 2006.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter increased 26.6% to $4.0 million, compared to $3.2 million for the third quarter in 2006. The increase was attributable primarily to increased payroll and related expenses resulting from the hiring of additional employees to position the company for growth.

Research and development expenditures increased 23.0% to $828,000 for the third quarter of 2007, compared to $673,000 for the corresponding period in 2006. The increase was attributable primarily to work performed relating to the development of European standards-compliant products.

Interest income for the quarter was $784,000, compared to $860,000 for the same period in 2006.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, revenues were $13.4 million, compared to $20.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Gross profit margin for the nine-month period was 48.8%, compared to 46.3% for the comparable period in 2006. GAAP net loss for the nine-month period was $4.9 million, or ($.43) per basic and diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $938,000, or $0.09 per basic share and $0.08 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2006.

Adjusting for $2.4 million in stock-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $2.5 million, or ($0.22) per basic and diluted share. For the corresponding period in 2006, non-GAAP net income was $2.7 million, or $0.27 per basic share and $0.23 per diluted share, adjusting for $1.8 million in stock-based compensation expenses. A table entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" is included in this press release.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, SG&A expenses were $11.7 million compared to $8.8 million for the same period in 2006. The increase was attributable primarily to increased payroll and related expenses resulting from the hiring of additional employees. Research and development expenditures for the period were $2.1 million compared to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase was attributable primarily to an increase of $291,000 in stock-based compensation expense compared to the third quarter a year ago. Interest income for the first nine months of 2007 increased to $2.3 million from $1.7 million for the same period a year ago.

As of September 30, 2007, I.D. Systems had $63.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and $72.6 million of working capital, compared to $70.4 million and $80.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2006. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities was attributable primarily to the company's stock repurchase program, announced on May 3, 2007.

Highlights of the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, included:



 * Receipt of additional purchase orders from existing customers,
   including:

    - Alcoa, which will deploy I.D. Systems' patented Wireless Asset
      Net(r) industrial vehicle management system on a fleet of
      material handling equipment at its new manufacturing complex in
      Iceland, one of the most modern aluminum production facilities
      in the world; and

    - Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., which, as reported in a Form 8-K filed
      with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2007,
      expanded its deployment of I.D. Systems' Wireless Asset Net
      system to 13 additional sites, bringing the total number of
      Wal-Mart facilities utilizing the Wireless Asset Net to 21.

 * The decision by NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. (NMHG) to
   purchase and deploy I.D. Systems' Wireless Asset Net system at its
   primary U.S. parts distribution center. As both a manufacturer and
   user of forklifts, NMHG chose the Wireless Asset Net to optimize
   the fleet of forklifts involved in its own material handling
   operations.

 * Development of new prospective customers, including prominent
   industrial manufacturers and U.S. Government agencies.

 * Execution of a strategic marketing agreement with RedPrairie
   Corporation, a leading supply chain software provider.  By
   integrating I.D. Systems' real-time wireless asset monitoring
   capabilities with RedPrairie's backbone of supply chain
   optimization tools, the companies expect to achieve a synergy that
   will deliver unique economic benefits for both manufacturing and
   distribution enterprises.

 * The launch of AvRamp(tm), a version of I.D. Systems' Wireless Asset
   Net system branded specifically for the aircraft ground support
   equipment market.  The culmination of approximately $6 million
   invested jointly by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration
   and I.D. Systems, AvRamp provides a combination of intelligent
   vehicle control, real-time asset visibility, directed workforce
   management, and cost-free wireless communications designed to
   optimize management of aircraft ground support vehicles and the
   people who operate them.

 * The introduction of a new customer engagement program, called
   Advantage(tm) Support Services, designed to help customers target
   and quantify specific benefits to be realized by deploying I.D.
   Systems' Wireless Asset Net industrial vehicle management system,
   and to help ensure those benefits are achieved and sustained
   following system deployment.  The program has been well received,
   with several customers entering into multi-year contracts for the
   service.

                           Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement its financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, I.D. Systems provides certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP net income/loss and non-GAAP net income/loss per basic and diluted share. Reference to these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared under current accounting standards, but are not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of I.D. Systems' current financial performance and provide further information for comparative information due to the adoption of accounting standard SFAS 123R. Specifically, I.D. Systems believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of its core operating results and business outlook. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the financial tables included in this press release.
