I.D. Systems Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results; Revenue Up 39% to $8.3 Million

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Aug. 10, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- I.D. Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDSY), a leading provider of wireless solutions for tracking, securing and managing high-value enterprise assets, reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Q2 2011 Financial Results

  • Revenue increased 39% to $8.3 million from $6.0 million in the same year-ago period. The improvement was driven by increased sales of the company's wireless industrial vehicle management systems to both new and existing customers. Recurring revenue for Q2 2011 was $4.1 million or 50% of total revenue.
     
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses decreased 15% to $6.6 million from $7.8 million in the same year-ago period. The decrease reflects management's continued efforts to reduce operating costs, primarily by integrating the Asset Intelligence acquisition completed in January 2010.
     
  • Excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization, non-GAAP net loss totaled $1.1 million or ($0.10) per basic and diluted share, an improvement from $3.0 million, or ($0.27) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period.
     
  • Net loss was $2.0 million or ($0.19) per basic and diluted share, an improvement from $4.0 million or ($0.36) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period.
     
  • As of June 30, 2011, the company had $23.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and $22.3 million of working capital with no debt.
     
  • Under a stock repurchase program authorized in November 2010, I.D. Systems had acquired 195,316 shares of its common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $823,900 (or $4.22 per share) as of June 30, 2011. The program authorizes the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of up to $3 million in aggregate value.

First Half 2011 Financial Results

  • Revenue increased 33% to $16.2 million from $12.1 million in the same year-ago period. Recurring revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $8.2 million or 51% of total revenue.
     
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses and R&D expenses decreased 18% to $12.6 million from $15.4 million in the same year-ago period.
     
  • Excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization, non-GAAP net loss was $2.0 million or ($0.18) per basic and diluted share, an improvement from $6.2 million or ($0.56) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period.
     
  • Net loss was $3.8 million or ($0.35) per basic and diluted share, an improvement from $8.1 million or ($0.72) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period.

Q2 2011 Operational Highlights

  • Recurring business from core customers, including Alcoa, American Airlines, Kellogg, Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, Wal-Mart, and Ford Motor Company—which commenced an upgrade of I.D. Systems' wireless technology on its material handling equipment in North America.
     
  • Initial system implementation with new customers included:
  • A Fortune 500 retailer ordered the PowerFleet wireless vehicle management system for its lift truck fleet across multiple distribution centers—an order facilitated by I.D. Systems' marketing partner, The Raymond Corporation.
  • A Fortune 100 manufacturer, a Fortune 100 retailer, an S&P 500 consumer products producer, and one of the world's largest specialty apparel retailers ordered I.D. Systems' hosted, subscription-based PowerBox wireless vehicle management system.
  • The U.S. Army Aviation Applied Technology Directorate contracted with I.D. Systems' partner Spectro Inc. to provide wireless equipment management technology for machine health monitoring applications.
  • Buchanan Hauling and Rigging deployed the VeriWise™ Track & Trace asset management system from I.D. Systems' Asset Intelligence subsidiary on a fleet of flatbed and specialty trailers.

Management Commentary

"Q2 marked our fourth consecutive quarter of revenue growth," said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D. Systems' chairman and CEO. "This double-digit growth was driven by increased sales of our industrial vehicle management systems to new clients, as well as renewals and upgrades for our existing Fortune 500 customer base. Overall, we had a balanced mix of product and service revenue for the quarter, including a sequential increase in recurring revenue from our Asset Intelligence business.  

"Gross margin remained strong at 54% in the quarter, consistent within the company's historical and target levels of 53% to 55%. The significant decrease in SG&A reflects our efforts to closely manage costs, including cost cutting measures initiated in the second half of 2010. We are on track for our 2011 financial performance to substantially surpass 2010."
