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.

I.D. Systems Completes Keytroller Acquisition, Strengthening Market Position and Fueling Growth Potential

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Aug. 01, 2017 — I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDSY), a leading provider of mobile asset management technology and solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things, has completed its acquisition of Keytroller, LLC, a manufacturer and marketer of electronic products for managing forklifts, construction vehicles, and other industrial equipment.
Combined, the companies have installed hundreds of thousands of management devices on forklifts and other industrial trucks in more than a dozen countries around the world. I.D. Systems markets its flagship Powerfleet® system primarily to end users and lift truck OEMs as a premier solution for global enterprises with large fleets of equipment across multiple sites. Keytroller markets its broad line of forklift management devices mainly through a large network of lift truck dealers, offering solutions for many different fleet sizes at a wide range of price points.
“One of the most important advantages the acquisition of Keytroller gives us, is now we can truly offer the perfect solution to any customer—no matter how large or small their fleet is, what problem they are trying to solve, or what budget they have to work with,” said I.D. Systems CEO Chris Wolfe. “In addition, together, I.D. Systems and Keytroller give customers the best option as an OEM-independent provider of forklift management technology. It’s vital for a fleet management system to work seamlessly across all makes, models and types of industrial trucks.”
“Keytroller and I.D. Systems complement each other incredibly well,” said Keytroller president Terry Wickman, who will stay on as an I.D. Systems executive vice president and run Keytroller as an independent division. “Our product mix and technologies cover everything a forklift fleet manager could want, soup to nuts, and our distribution channels have minimal conflicts. We rarely compete head-to-head. Joining together is a win-win for our companies, our partners, and our end users—all of us will benefit from a broader choice of solutions and a larger, more capable service and support organization.”
In 2016, I.D. Systems recorded revenue of $36.8 million, while Keytroller generated $6.6 million in revenue and net income of $1.5 million. Keytroller has achieved average annual revenue growth of more than 25% per year over the past three years.
Unmatched Single Source of Industrial Truck Management Solutions
Keytroller has earned a reputation in the material handling industry as an innovative provider of forklift access control/monitoring systems, speed controllers, forklift scales, truck-mounted cameras, impact sensors, wireless hour meters, pedestrian safety systems, and other electronic devices. The company offers about 40 different products, providing good/better/best functionality and pricing.
By adding Keytroller’s mid-range and economy products to I.D. Systems’ market-leading Powerfleet® industrial truck management system, the combined company’s offerings form an unmatched single source of fleet management technology for industrial truck owners and operators.
The acquisition of Keytroller also gives I.D. Systems a new source of industrial truck usage data for its Powerfleet IQ® analytics database, enhancing the value of that tool for multi-site enterprises. Joining forces also opens new potential opportunities for the two companies to cross-sell to each other’s customers and consolidate and streamline product development.
Business Continuity and Growth
Because Keytroller has enjoyed profitable growth in recent years, there will be no radical changes to the way it conducts business. While I.D. Systems expects to benefit from some operational and cost synergies, Keytroller will run as an independent division led by the company’s founder, Terry Wickman.
“Acquiring Keytroller was a rare opportunity for I.D. Systems to grow inorganically in the industrial truck management business,” added Wolfe. “We expect to reap both immediate benefits—from a business already running profitably today—and long-term benefits, such as a more predictable, profitable revenue stream from a much more diverse customer base.”
“Together, we believe I.D. Systems and Keytroller are unquestionably the world’s number one provider of forklift management solutions,” concluded Wickman. “We are eager to show how easy and affordable it is to get exactly the right solution for industrial truck management—at the right price—for safer, smarter, more successful material handling operations.”

I.D. Systems to Acquire Keytroller, Strengthening Its Position in Industrial Truck Management Market and Overall Growth Outlook

Woodcliff Lake, NJ — July 11, 2017 — I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of mobile asset management technology and solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Keytroller, LLC, a manufacturer and marketer of a wide range of electronic products for managing forklifts, construction vehicles, and other industrial equipment.
The purchase price is $9.0 million at close, consisting of $7.0 million in cash and $2.0 million in I.D. Systems common stock, plus up to $3.0 million in earn-out consideration over two years, also in I.D. Systems common stock. The acquisition of Keytroller is expected to close before the end of July, 2017, upon satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
In 2016, Keytroller generated revenue of $6.6 million and adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 million. Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, Keytroller’s results will be included as part of I.D. Systems’ industrial truck management product line.
The two companies’ market positions and distribution channels are highly complementary. I.D. Systems sells its flagship Powerfleet® industrial truck management systems primarily to large global enterprises and through lift truck manufacturers (OEMs), while Keytroller markets most of its products through a large network of lift truck dealers to small and medium-size end users. Powerfleet® rarely competes head-to-head with Keytroller devices.
By combining Keytroller’s mid-range and economy products with Powerfleet®, I.D. Systems becomes an unmatched single source of fleet management technology for industrial truck owners and operators, which the company believes will help it compete more effectively and diversify its revenue sources. The acquisition of Keytroller also gives I.D. Systems a new source of industrial truck usage data for its Powerfleet IQ® analytics database, enhancing the value of that tool for multi-site enterprises.

Preliminary Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Revenue

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, I.D. Systems expects to report revenue between $10.0 million and $10.5 million. The midpoint of this estimated revenue range represents approximately 28% sequential revenue growth and 15% year-over-year. The company is scheduled to release its complete second quarter 2017 financial results and host an investor conference call after the stock market closes on August 3, 2017. Conference call details will be announced at least a week prior to the call.

Management Commentary

“We are encouraged by the organic growth reflected in our preliminary second quarter revenue—and excited by our planned acquisition of Keytroller,” said I.D. Systems CEO Chris Wolfe. “Keytroller’s business complements our industrial truck management segment incredibly well, from product mix and market position to sales cycle and customer diversification. The acquisition should contribute immediately to I.D. Systems’ revenue and profitability, as well as position the company to achieve a more predictable, profitable revenue stream from a much more diverse customer base. We look forward to integrating Keytroller’s operations smoothly into our corporate family and leveraging the benefits of this acquisition as we continue to focus on future growth.”
