I.D. Systems, Inc. Reports First Quarter Financial Results
HACKENSACK, N.J., May 7, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- I.D. Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDSY) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2009. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $2.9 million, compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Gross margin increased to 54.2%, compared to 48.8% for the corresponding period in 2008. Net loss for the quarter was $3.1 million, or ($0.28) per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $2.0 million, or ($.19) per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008.
Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $2.5 million, or ($0.23) per basic and diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $1.2 million, or ($0.11) per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP results were calculated by adjusting GAAP net results for the impact of stock-based compensation, which was $559,000 for the first quarter of 2009 and $785,000 for the first quarter of 2008. A table entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" is included in this press release.
"With the global economy in recession, many organizations are slowing their technology acquisitions. In the first quarter, this economic climate manifested itself in both our core customers and prospects in our sales pipeline," said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D. Systems' chairman and chief executive officer. "The U.S. Postal Service's spending cutbacks, in particular, affected our revenue this quarter. However, we continue to aggressively pursue our primary strategic goals -- diversifying our customer base and expanding our product applications. To that end, we are trying to leverage our competitive advantages, including the effectiveness of our technology, our financial resources, and our proven experience delivering a significant return on investment for customers. Our mission remains to drive rapid customer adoption and expansion of our solutions, open new applications and markets for our technology, maintain our technical and market leadership, and ultimately deliver shareholder value."
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $4.2 million, including $430,000 in stock-based compensation, essentially flat compared to $4.3 million, including $649,000 in stock-based compensation, for the first quarter of 2008. Research and development expenditures for the first quarter of 2009 decreased slightly to $689,000, including $115,000 in stock-based compensation, compared to $711,000, including $115,000 in stock-based compensation, for the corresponding period in 2008. Interest income for the quarter was $347,000, compared to $826,000 for the same period in 2008.
"After holding the line on expenses in the first quarter, we took further cost-cutting actions in April, 2009, by trimming our workforce to save approximately $1 million annually," said Mr. Jagid. "These staff reductions were not in sales and marketing, however. We continue to invest in growth opportunities, for both organic revenue generation and potential strategic acquisitions."
As of March 31, 2009, I.D. Systems had $66.9 million in cash and marketable securities, and $22.3 million of working capital, compared to $56.0 million and $30.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2008. The increase in cash is due primarily to the borrowing of $12.9 million from a line of credit facility.
Highlights of the first quarter ended March 31, 2009, included:
* The launch of I.D. Systems' new PowerFleet(tm) brand wireless Vehicle Management System (VMS) for forklifts and other industrial equipment, which incorporates the company's most powerful, versatile combination of software, hardware, and wireless technology to date, including a choice of client-server or browser-based software, a wide array of modular system functions and extensions, and a flexible combination of wireless communication options termed SecureStream(tm). * The deployment of the PowerFleet(tm) VMS on a fleet of industrial vehicles at the primary manufacturing complex of Mercedes-Benz U.S., which was facilitated by I.D. Systems' strategic marketing partner NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc., a leading global industrial truck manufacturer, and Barloworld Handling, the world's largest dealer of Hyster(r) brand lift trucks. * The receipt of a blanket purchase order from Audi AG for the PowerFleet(tm) VMS to manage industrial vehicle fleets in the European manufacturing operations of both Audi and its corporate parent, Volkswagen, with initial deployment in two Audi production facilities. * The selection of I.D. Systems' AvRamp(tm) VMS by American Eagle Airlines to manage a fleet of aircraft ground support equipment at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, which represents the first large-scale implementation of AvRamp(tm) technology by a major U.S. airline to improve airport ground handling operations, increase the safety of the ramp area, reduce fleet costs, and enhance the airline's customer service. * The renewal of a corporate service agreement with Ford Motor Company to provide maintenance and support services for Ford's enterprise-wide deployment of I.D. Systems' VMS technology and associated industrial vehicle battery monitoring systems, which have been deployed in Ford plants throughout North America since 2003.
Investor Conference Call
I.D. Systems will hold a conference call for investors and analysts at 4:45 p.m. Eastern Time on May 7, 2009.

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.
