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

HACKENSACK, N.J., Aug. 11, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- I.D. Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDSY) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2010. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010, increased $3.3 million to $6.0 million, compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was attributable primarily to service contracts held by I.D. Systems' Asset Intelligence business unit, acquired from General Electric in January, 2010, which currently averages approximately $1.1 million per month in recurring revenue under multi-year contracts.

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2010 was 60.1%, compared to 54.8% for the corresponding period in 2009. Net loss for the quarter was $4.0 million, or ($0.36) per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $2.3 million, or ($0.21) per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2009. Excluding $439,000 in stock-based compensation expense, non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2010 was $3.6 million, or ($0.32) per basic and diluted share.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, revenues increased $6.5 million to $12.1 million, compared to $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Gross margin for the six-month period was 57.7%, compared to 54.5% for the corresponding period in 2009. Net loss for the period was $8.1 million, or ($0.72) per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $5.4 million, or ($0.49) per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Excluding $893,000 in stock-based compensation expense, non-GAAP net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 was $7.2 million, or ($0.64) per basic and diluted share.

As of June 30, 2010, excluding a $1.2 million line of credit, I.D. Systems had $27.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and $32.7 million of working capital.

"Although our short term results did not meet our goals, we remain committed to improving our financial results in 2010 by continuing to expand our portfolio of solutions, control costs, maintain robust margins, and grow revenues," said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D. Systems' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We expect our cost management initiatives, including staff consolidations related to our January, 2010, acquisition of General Electric's Asset Intelligence business, to ultimately decrease I.D. Systems' consolidated annual operating expenses by approximately $8 million."

Highlights for the second quarter of 2010 included:

-- Expansion of I.D. Systems' solutions with existing customers, including:

  --  Wal-Mart, which extended, through 2012, a contract with I.D. Systems'
      Asset Intelligence subsidiary for its VeriWise(TM) over-the-road trailer
      management systems.
  --  Knight Transportation, which expanded its deployment of VeriWise(TM)
      trailer management systems to more than 1,500 additional trailers.
  --  American Airlines and American Eagle Airlines, which expanded the number
      of vehicles at Dallas Fort-Worth International Airport equipped with
      I.D. Systems' AvRamp(TM) Wireless Vehicle Management System.
  --  Procter & Gamble ("P&G"), which ordered I.D. Systems' PowerFleet(R)
      Wireless Vehicle Management System for a fleet of lift trucks at a
      facility in Canada (P&G's first PowerFleet(R) deployment in North
      America), and which also selected I.D. Systems as its global supplier of
      industrial vehicle management systems.

-- Initial implementations of I.D. Systems' PowerFleet(R) Wireless Vehicle Management System for the industrial truck fleets of new customers, including Armstrong World Industries, Campbell Soup Company, and General Mills.

-- Development of new products to expand the markets and applications addressed by I.D. Systems' solutions, including:

  --  VeriWise(TM) Track & Trace, a low-cost, long-life, cellular device with
      flexible mounting options and simple installation, aimed at trailer and
      container location tracking, theft countermeasures, and short-term asset
      analytics.
  --  SafeNav(TM) Powered by Garmin(TM), an on-vehicle, GPS-based navigation
      and alert system designed to provide airport vehicle operators with
      real-time situational awareness, with the goal of avoiding accidental
      runway incursions.
  --  PowerBox(TM), a hosted, out-of-the-box solution designed to simplify
      system acquisition, deployment and benefit achievement for customers
      with small to medium fleets, or larger fleets with basic vehicle
      management requirements.

-- Execution of a marketing agreement with The Raymond Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of material handling vehicles, under which Raymond will sell I.D. Systems' vehicle management solutions, and the concurrent certification of I.D. Systems' on-vehicle hardware for direct interface with Raymond lift trucks to simplify installation and expand system functionality.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the three months ended June 30, 2010, were $6.7 million, compared to $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2009. SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010, were $13.2 million, compared to $8.0 million for the corresponding period of 2009. These increases reflect additional payroll-related and consulting expenses following the acquisition of Asset Intelligence, prior to staff consolidations and other cost reduction measures.

Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the second quarter of 2010 were $1.1 million, compared to $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2009. R&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $2.3 million, compared to $1.4 million for the corresponding period in 2009. The increases reflect investments in new Asset Intelligence products coming to market in 2010.
