I.D. Systems Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Quarterly Revenue up 20% Sequentially to Record $16.3 Million; Pending Acquisition of Pointer Telocation Remains on Track
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Aug. 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of enterprise asset management and Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) technology, reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Management Commentary
“The second quarter of 2019 continued the acceleration of our growth strategy, as we delivered another quarter of solid results, highlighted by record revenue, which was up 20% sequentially,” said I.D. Systems’ CEO Chris Wolfe. “Our financial success was driven by consistent sales execution across our business, building on the operational momentum we’ve experienced over the last several quarters.
“The second quarter also marked another milestone period in our Logistics Visibility Solutions business, where we successfully integrated the CarrierWeb U.S. assets. With the addition of a comprehensive refrigerated telemetry product to our suite, we have substantially bolstered our ability to more effectively sell into mixed dry van and reefer fleets. In fact, we have several refrigerated pilots underway, representing a multi-million-dollar-unit opportunity in total. Additionally, we secured multiple LVS wins during the period, including deals with SNL Transportation for in-cab and AIM for chassis tracking, the latter of which is a 2,700-unit order scheduled to roll out in Q3 2019. We also commercially released our award-winning LV Series Platform and are actively taking initial orders from several large enterprise customers. Pilots and field trials of our LV-series platforms represent significant sales opportunities for our company.
“It was another productive period in our Industrial Truck Management business as well. We are off to an encouraging start with our new partner Jungheinrich, having successfully white labeled our SaaS solution for them, developed Jungheinrich specific hardware and began shipping initial units to customers. Beyond this partnership, we also secured multiple new wins and follow-on orders across all our geographies. We believe our success demonstrates the growing demand for I.D. Systems’ solutions and how our technology empowers our customers to effectively manage their assets, keep their people safe, and optimize productivity.
“In our rental fleet business, we delivered 18,000 telemetry units to Avis Budget Group during the second quarter, which was ahead of schedule. We also made significant progress on the remaining development programs and began planning for the certification of Avis-vehicles in Europe, which we expect to commence in the third quarter. We are encouraged by our initial success and the positive feedback we’ve received from Avis, giving us confidence in the near- and long-term prospects for the relationship as well as the overall opportunity for our connected car business.
“An integral part of our success with Avis is our collaboration with Pointer, who is currently assembling the 75,000+ telemetry units on our behalf. We are also working closely with the Pointer team on integration planning to ensure a seamless transition once the acquisition is closed. The special shareholder meeting is scheduled for August 29 and we expect to close the transaction in October.
“Our vision of creating PowerFleet, a leading global IoT telematics software and solutions provider is materializing. We believe our ability to achieve this vision will translate to significant shareholder value through global scale, an elevated market position, sustainable profitability and cash flow generation.”
Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Revenue increased 20% to a record $16.3 million from $13.6 million in the prior quarter and increased 10% from $14.8 million in same year-ago period.
Product revenue was $10.6 million compared to $10.8 million in same year-ago period. The decrease in product revenue was due to the timing of unit and program deliveries with Avis, which will vary from year-to-year.
Services revenue was $5.6 million compared to $4.0 million in same year-ago period. The increase in services revenue was due to increased high-margin recurring revenue and additional development services revenue related to the 75,000-unit order from Avis.
Recurring revenue increased 10% to $5.4 million from $5.0 million in the same year-ago period. The company expects growth in recurring revenue to continue as every unit sold comes with a long-term recurring revenue contract.
Gross profit increased 10% to $7.1 million (43.4% of total revenue) from $6.4 million (43.3% of total revenue) in the same year-ago period. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to an increase in high-margin recurring revenue.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.0 million, compared to $5.8 million in the same year-ago period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the inclusion of expenses from CarrierWeb U.S., which were absent in the same period a year ago.
Research and development expenses were $2.0 million, compared to $1.5 million in the same year-ago period. The increase in research and development expenses was due to development work on 2019 Avis approved programs and additional development discovered during LV-series field trials, as well as the inclusion of R&D expenses from CarrierWeb U.S., which were absent in the same period a year ago.
Acquisition-related expenses were $1.6 million, compared to $149,000 in the same year-ago period. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition-related expenses related to the pending acquisition of Pointer Telocation (announced on March 13, 2019).
Net loss totaled $2.6 million or $(0.15) per basic and diluted share (based on 17.7 million weighted average shares outstanding), compared to net loss of $1.1 million or $(0.07) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period (based on 17.1 million weighted average shares outstanding).
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, totaled $129,000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted share (based on 17.7 million weighted average shares outstanding), compared to adjusted EBITDA of $290,000 or $0.02 per basic and diluted share (based on 17.1 million weighted average shares outstanding) in the same year-ago period (See the section below titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information about adjusted EBITDA and its reconciliation to GAAP net income/loss).
At quarter-end, the company had $8.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Non-GAAP Financial 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 adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA 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.
