I.D. Systems Reports First Quarter 2017 Results
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., May 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of enterprise asset management technology and solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things, reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
Management Commentary
“Our revenue for the first quarter came in lower than expected, primarily due to VMS orders that slipped into Q2,” said I.D. Systems CEO Chris Wolfe. “Two of these significant orders were recently secured and consist of major wins with two leading auto manufacturers and we expect to start shipping units this quarter. From an operational perspective, during the first quarter we continued to make progress in executing on the key initiatives we initiated late last year. This involved significant improvements in product development, cost management and organizational structure. Our success was highlighted by the launch of new software and analytics products, the flattening of our organizational structure to further reduce operating expenses, as well as improvements in our gross margin, cash flow and balance sheet.
“Perhaps the most notable accomplishment in Q1, however, was the previously announced multi-million-dollar agreement we secured with Avis Budget Group to deploy our proprietary wireless rental fleet management systems. We are working with Avis to support the deployment of the first 50,000 devices, which are scheduled for installation beginning in Q4. We expect to recognize revenues from the development and production ramp-up portion of the agreement between Q2 and Q4.
“Going forward, continued execution on our key initiatives will drive our financial goals for 2017, which includes achieving non-GAAP profitability. We believe this milestone will be realized through improved operational discipline and focused sales execution. Our success on a broader level will establish I.D. Systems as the industry standard for delivering high-value, high-quality technology in the markets we serve.”
First Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Revenue decreased 13% to $8.0 million from $9.2 million in the prior quarter. The sequential decrease was primarily due to lower vehicle management systems (VMS) revenue.
Gross margin improved by 227 basis points to 51.9% from 49.6% in the same period a year ago. The improvement was primarily due to the lower cost to build the company’s VAC4S product, increased efficiency from the VAC4S installation, as well as sales of higher margin analytics software.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $4.8 million, which were consistent with the level reported in the same year-ago period.
Research and development expenses were $1.2 million for the quarter compared to $1.1 million in same year-ago quarter.
Excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and foreign currency translation losses, non-GAAP net loss totaled $(1.1) million or $(0.08) per basic and diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $(68,000) or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago quarter.
Net loss totaled $(1.9) million or $(0.14) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(698,000) or $(0.05) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago quarter.
At quarter-end, the company had $8.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, compared to $6.9 million at the end of the prior quarter. The balance outstanding on the company’s $7.5 million credit facility was $1.3 million at quarter-end, which was down from $3.0 million at the end of the prior quarter.
Net cash from operations was $2.3 million, compared to cash used of $142,000 in the same year-ago quarter.

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement its financial statements presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (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. 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. Because I.D. Systems’ method for calculating the non-GAAP measures may differ from other companies’ methods, the non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliation of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release to the nearest GAAP measures can be found in the financial tables included in this press release.
