I.D. Systems, Inc. Reports First Quarter Financial Results and Announces Share Repurchase Program

HACKENSACK, N.J., May 3, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- I.D. Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDSY) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2007. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007, were $4,621,000, compared to $6,390,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Net loss for the quarter was $1,462,000, or ($.13) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $125,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2006.

Adjusted net loss for the first quarter of 2007 was $695,000, or ($0.06) per basic and diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $508,000, or $0.06 per basic and $0.05 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2006. Adjusted net results were calculated by adjusting GAAP net income (loss) for the impact of stock-based compensation, which was $767,000 for the first quarter of 2007 and $383,000 for the first quarter of 2006. Adjusted net income (loss) is considered non-GAAP financial information; a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to GAAP financial measures can be found in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures table included in this press release.

"We have achieved a compound annual growth rate of 93% over the past five years, in part due to our success with large customers," said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D. Systems' chairman and chief executive officer. "Clearly, our goals include a more predictable quarter-to-quarter revenue stream from more diversified sources. To that end, our mission is to drive customer benefit from our unique wireless technology, facilitate customer adoption and expansion of our solutions, and open new applications and markets for our technology, while maintaining our technical leadership. We are taking many actions to realize these goals, including the appointment of Peter Fausel as I.D. Systems' new executive vice president of sales, marketing and customer support in the first quarter. The addition of Peter, formerly of wireless mobile computing leader LXE, has significantly strengthened our sales and marketing organization."

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, cost of revenues was $2.4 million, resulting in a gross profit margin of 49%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter increased 39% to $3.8 million, compared to $2.7 million for the first quarter in 2006. The increase was attributable primarily to increased payroll and related expenses resulting from the hiring of additional employees and a $190,000 increase in stock-based employee compensation compared to the first quarter a year ago.

Research and development expenditures increased 43% to $706,000 for the first quarter of 2007, compared to $493,000 for the corresponding period in 2006. The increase was attributable primarily to a $183,000 increase in stock-based employee compensation over the first quarter a year ago.

Interest income for the quarter increased to $792,000, compared to $150,000 for the same period in 2006, reflecting the company's investment of proceeds from its public stock offering in March 2006.

As of March 31, 2007, I.D. Systems had $70.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and $79.3 million of working capital, compared to $70.4 million and $80.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2006.

Highlights of the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, included:



  * Receipt of purchase orders for I.D. Systems' Wireless Asset Net(r)
    industrial vehicle management system to be deployed at a
    DaimlerChrysler plant in Ohio.  The Wireless Asset Net system
    controls, tracks and manages fleets of industrial equipment to
    increase productivity, improve safety and reduce costs in material
    handling operations. The system for DaimlerChrysler was ordered
    through NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc., and its Yale(r)
    brand industrial truck sales organization, under a cooperative
    marketing agreement with I.D. Systems.  In addition to monitoring
    industrial vehicles, the DaimlerChrysler system will incorporate
    I.D. Systems' new OptiKan(tm) application, an optimized, wireless,
    electronic "kanban" system designed to increase productivity and
    reduce labor costs associated with material replenishment in the
    manufacturing process.

  * Receipt of purchase orders from a leading U.S. defense contractor:
    one for a Wireless Equipment Monitoring & Control System to be
    deployed on a fleet of industrial trucks at a major U.S. shipyard;
    another for an RFID-based access control and time-and-attendance
    system to be deployed at three shipyards on the Gulf Coast.

  * Receipt of additional purchase orders from the U.S. Postal Service
    (USPS), to deploy the Wireless Asset Net system at seven
    additional USPS facilities. These orders will increase the number
    of USPS facilities deploying the Wireless Asset Net to 72.

  * The addition of Nucor Corporation as a customer, with an initial
    pilot deployment of the Wireless Asset Net system at a Nucor
    facility in Alabama.

  * The execution of a strategic agreement with C&D Technologies, a
    leading producer and marketer of electrical power storage and
    conversion systems, to market a new generation of wireless
    technology for managing the batteries that power industrial
    trucks.  This I.D. Systems-developed system expected to be co-
    marketed to address the needs of manufacturing and distribution
    facilities to increase productivity, reduce capital expenditures,
    and lower operating costs associated with industrial truck
    batteries.

  * The appointment of Peter Fausel as executive vice president of
    sales, marketing and customer support.  Mr. Fausel has more than
    25 years of sales and marketing experience for leading companies
    in wireless technology, enterprise application integration, and
    process automation, most recently serving as senior vice president
    of sales and marketing for LXE, Inc., a leading manufacturer of
    wireless mobile computing solutions.  Prior to LXE, Mr. Fausel
    held executive positions with Jacada, Inc., Ross Systems, and
    Invensys PLC.  Mr. Fausel holds a Bachelor of Science degree in
    Business Administration-Finance from the University of Florida.

  * I.D. Systems today announced that its Board of Directors has
    authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of its
    common stock having an aggregate value of up to $10,000,000.  The
    repurchases under the share repurchase program will be made from
    time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated
    transactions. The amount and timing of such repurchases will be
    dependent upon the price and availability of shares, general market
    conditions and the availability of cash, as determined in the
    discretion of I.D. Systems' management. The repurchases will be
    funded from I.D. Systems' working capital. I.D. Systems may
    discontinue or suspend the share repurchase program at any time.
    Jeffrey Jagid stated, "We believe that the recent trading price of
    our common stock does not adequately reflect our company's
    intrinsic value. This share repurchase program reflects our
    continued commitment to improving shareholder value."

Investor Conference Call

I.D. Systems will hold a conference call for investors and analysts at 4:45 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on May 3, 2007.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with 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 and provide further information for comparative information due to the adoption of accounting standard SFAS 123R. 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. In addition, I.D. Systems believes the non-GAAP measures that exclude stock-based compensation enhance the comparability of results against prior periods. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the financial tables included in this press release.
