New I.D. Systems Product Line Transforms Logistics Visibility

Introducing “Intelligent Logistics,” an Advanced Visibility Solution

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Oct. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of enterprise asset management and Internet of Things technology, today announced the release of a new line of asset telemetry solutions, a suite of interoperable sensors, as well as an interactive voice-user interface for accessing the power of I.D. Systems’ analytics platform without the need to manually run reports. This launch includes a first-of-its-kind image-based cargo visibility detector. These robust technological platforms enhance I.D. Systems tracking, monitoring and reporting capabilities to provide freight transportation providers, shippers and supply chain stakeholders with powerful insights to make smarter, faster decisions for higher overall performance.

LV-Series, a Cargo-Tracking Solution Suite

LV-100 / LV-300 / LV-500 / LV-710 / LV-740

The I.D. Systems LV Asset Tracking and Freight Visibility Series address a critical gap in the supply chain by giving users real-time updates into their freight through imagery and environmental sensors. Driven by wireless sensor integration and visual image confirmation, the LV Series monitors the condition and status of the cargo including temperature, humidity and shock, and tracks the asset’s location, loaded levels, tire pressure, anti-lock braking system lights, and other elements.

The three asset tracking models (LV-100, LV-300 and LV-500) vary according to power management technology such as a long-life primary battery, rechargeable battery, or dual-power source. Each includes I.D. Systems’ field proven drive-segment detection and well as time-based and sensor-event reporting. They also incorporate wireless sensing of both LV-710, LV-720 and LV-730 on-asset sensors as well as LV-740 pallet-level sensors.

The LV-710 is a patent-pending, wireless high-definition camera, image recognition processor, door sensor and cargo-area environmental sensor that integrates with the family of LV primary asset tracking devices, and our new Powerfleet Yard smart phone app. When utilized with LV-740 pallet sensors, the LV-710 can also detect and report if and where pallets are loaded, as well as environmental alerts (e.g. temperature, etc.), to deliver complete cargo visibility.

Lucy, an Interactive Voice-User Interface

Lucy is an integrated voice-activated system that provides dynamic interaction with a fleet’s asset and cargo database. From providing detailed in-transit reporting to real-time status and analytics, Lucy quickly and easily unlocks actionable insights and opportunities without the time and hassle of manually running reports. In addition, Lucy leverages its voice-activation technology with the Bing search engine to provide users with up-to-the-minute traffic, weather and other valuable updates along planned or existing routes.

I.D. Systems Introduces Powerfleet Essence, a New Industrial Truck Telematics Solution Aimed at Small and Medium Sized Manufacturing, Distribution and Retail Installations

Representing the first product launched under the Powerfleet division of I.D. Systems, Powerfleet Essence offers the perfect balance of features and cost to address forklift fleet access control, safety and electronic record keeping in even the smallest fleets

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Oct. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDSY), a leading provider of enterprise asset management technology, has announced the launch of Powerfleet Essence, a new class of industrial truck telematics platforms aimed at small to medium sized fleets used in manufacturing, distribution, logistics and retail centers. Powerfleet Essence is being introduced at the National Safety Council Congress and Expo in Houston, Texas on October 22-24 and will be commercially available, in volume, in early November.

Powerfleet Essence offers an ideal blend of size, ease of installation, ease of use, management and value. Powerfleet Essence is particularly suited for installations previously hindered by cost, complexity, IT networking and integration requirements. The Powerfleet Essence consists of the OC53 operator console mounted on the industrial truck and the Powerfleet Control Center app downloaded to an iPad or iPhone. The system communicates using a Bluetooth direct connection, so it does not require complicated IT support or Wi-Fi networking. This same platform can also secure and track construction heavy equipment.

Physical installation of the OC53 hardware is simplified. Communication with the Powerfleet Control Center application works out-of-the-box, and industrial truck data is collected automatically while in range of any app-enabled Bluetooth device, then displayed and managed in the intuitive, “self-service” Powerfleet Control Center app. As an added bonus, Powerfleet Essence can be configured to support different languages to simplify operator comprehension, adoption and action. Initial support includes English, Spanish, French and German.

Powerfleet Essence ensures site managers in warehouse, manufacturing, distribution and retail environments at any scale can know that only certified operators are using their equipment, when they have completed required safety inspections, and how their equipment is operated to reap the savings of safer industrial truck operations. Peace of mind at an affordable price – that’s Powerfleet Essence.

“Powerfleet Essence marks a true leap forward to making telematics available for every fleet, regardless of size, budget or technical sophistication,” stated Mark Stanton, Vice President and General Manager of I.D. Systems’ Powerfleet division. “There are more than 10 million industrial trucks globally, and the vast majority are in mid-to-small fleets. As a solution designed for this underserved market, Powerfleet Essence hits the opportunity head on.”

“With Powerfleet Essence, we are excited to be launching the first of many leading telematics innovations under the new Powerfleet banner,” added Stanton. “With the addition of Powerfleet Essence to I.D. Systems’ offerings, we have the right price/performance telematics solutions for customers of any size and budget.”

I.D. Systems Reports Second Quarter 2017 Results

Revenue Up 20% Year-Over-Year to $10.7 Million, Driving Non-GAAP Profitability

Woodcliff Lake, NJ — August 3, 2017 — I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of enterprise asset management technology and solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things, reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.
Management Commentary
“We are encouraged by the strong topline growth we delivered in the second quarter, which marked the highest revenue level in two years,” said I.D. Systems CEO Chris Wolfe. “This achievement was driven by solid contributions across our business, particularly our industrial truck management segment, where we received significant orders from two leading auto manufacturers, as well as the initial contribution from our multi-year agreement with Avis Budget Group. The second quarter was also highlighted by non-GAAP profitability for the period, enabled by our reduced level of operating expenses.
“A key initiative going forward in the industrial truck management market is to target the small- and mid-tier segment―which represents a considerable growth opportunity―while continuing to pursue the enterprise market. To supplement this organic growth strategy, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Keytroller, a manufacturer and marketer of electronic products for managing forklifts and construction vehicles. Keytroller bolsters I.D. Systems’ distribution and market position in the small to mid-tier space through its expansive network of lift truck dealers, and by adding its highly synergistic product mix, sales cycle and customer base.
“We have entered the second half of 2017 with strong financial and operational momentum, putting us on track to achieve our financial goal of achieving sustained non-GAAP profitability. Our acquisition of Keytroller positions us to achieve a more predictable, profitable revenue stream from a more diverse and expansive customer base. Today, I.D. Systems is an unmatched single source of fleet management technology for industrial truck owners and operators, which will help us compete more effectively and diversify our revenue sources and, ultimately, drive long-term sustainable growth and shareholder value.”

Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Revenue increased 34% to $10.7 million from $8.0 million in the prior quarter and increased 20% from $8.9 million in same year-ago period. The increase was primarily due to higher vehicle management systems (VMS) revenue and initial revenue contribution from the company’s agreement with Avis Budget Group.
Recurring revenue increased 9% to $4.7 million from $4.3 million in the same period a year ago.
Gross margin was 51.8% compared to 53.1% in the same period a year ago.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.2 million, compared to $5.0 million in the same year-ago period. The increase was due to professional fees related to the company’s acquisition of Keytroller, which was announced in July.
Research and development expenses were $0.9 million, compared to $1.2 million in same year-ago quarter.
Excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and foreign currency translation losses, non-GAAP net income totaled $83,000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $(623,000) or $(0.05) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago quarter.
Net loss totaled $524,000 or $(0.04) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million or $(0.12) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago quarter.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, net cash provided by operations was $5.7 million, compared to net cash used in operations of $17,000 in the same period of 2016.
At quarter-end, the company had $10.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, compared to $8.6 million at the end of the prior quarter. On a pro forma basis, including the net proceeds from the sale of common stock in an underwritten public offering completed in July 2017 and the acquisition of Keytroller, the company had $19.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and 17.4 million shares outstanding.

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. 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.
