I.D. Systems Reports First Quarter 2013 Financial Results

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., May 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- I.D. Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDSY), a leading provider of wireless solutions for tracking, securing and managing high-value enterprise assets, today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

First Quarter 2013 Financial Results

  • Revenue was $8.0 million, compared to $9.8 million in the first quarter of 2012. The decrease was attributable primarily to the timing of closing industrial vehicle management business in the U.S. and a shortfall of revenue from Europe, reflecting the economic climate in that region.
  • Recurring revenue was $4.4 million, up 4% from $4.2 million in the first quarter a year ago.
  • Gross margin was 48%, compared to 50% in the first quarter of 2012. The decrease was attributable primarily to a higher contribution of revenue from channel partners.
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenditures of $5.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, were flat compared to $5.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2012.
  • Excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization, non-GAAP net loss was $1.8 million, or $(0.15) per basic and diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $840,000, or $(0.07) per basic and diluted share, in the same period a year ago.
  • Net loss was $2.6 million, or $(0.22) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million, or $(0.14) per basic and diluted share, in the first quarter of 2012.
  • As of March 31, 2013, I.D. Systems had $15.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and no debt.

We will work to deepen the penetration of our solutions with our core customers, especially through our enterprise Analytics software. We will strive to continue diversifying revenue sources by pursuing new customers, through both direct sales and channel partners. And we will continue our efforts to extend our market leadership, especially through solution innovations, including new generations of technology for both the industrial vehicle and rental car management markets."

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.
