I.D. SYSTEMS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Woodcliff Lake, NJ, August 3, 2015—I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of wireless solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things, reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Second Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue decreased 13% to $9.9 million from $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to a 32% decrease in vehicle management systems (VMS) revenue as the company transitioned sales and deployments to its new VAC4 product and pricing model. The decline was partially offset by a 16% increase in service revenue totaling $4.9 million, which was primarily the result of higher revenue from VMS services associated with the new pricing.
  • Recurring revenue increased 4% to $4.7 million, or 47% of total revenue in the second quarter, as compared to $4.5 million, or 39% of total revenue in the year-ago quarter. The transition to VMS solutions based on a recurring revenue model is expected to continue to increase recurring revenue.
  • Gross margin was 42% compared to 45% in the second quarter of 2014. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to higher VMS installation costs and the VAC4 SaaS-based pricing model, which has a lower upfront price. As illustrated by the sequential improvement from Q1 2015, gross margin is expected to continue to improve as unit sales increase and customers sign long-term higher margin service contracts.
  • Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 10% to $6.2 million from $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to higher payroll-related expenses and stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by lower amortization expenses. Also, the company made the strategic decision to invest the time and training required to retune VAC4 and make it a more universally deployable product.
  • Research and development expenses decreased 17% to $1.1 million from $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to the completion of several product development-related ‘I.D. Systems 2.0’ initiatives.
  • Excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and other non-recurring items, non-GAAP net loss totaled $2.6 million, or $(0.21) per basic and diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $1.1 million, or $(0.09) per basic and diluted share, in the same period a year ago.
  • Net loss totaled $3.1 million, or $(0.25) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million, or $(0.14) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2014.
  • As of June 30, 2015, the company had $6.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and no debt, which is down $4.1 million from the previous quarter end. However, the company’s refocused go-to-market strategy described below is aimed at increasing sales in the second half in order to reduce inventory, which, when combined with the decrease in headcount and expected collections on existing accounts receivable, the company expects to reduce its cash consumption.

Management Commentary
“While we are clearly disappointed with our results for the quarter, it is important to explain the context,” said I.D. Systems chairman and CEO, Kenneth Ehrman. “Although we expanded our salesforce during the past two quarters while simultaneously investing in VAC4 implementations for a few of our largest customers, it became apparent that we are best served focusing primarily on our larger customers for direct sales. Historically, we have sold millions of dollars of products and services to several large enterprise customers like Walmart, Ford and U.S. Postal Service, whereby the relationship is mutually valuable and we can rationalize deploying substantial support on their behalf. At the other end, those customers with smaller implementations still require upfront support. Our investments and confidence in our channel partners’ ability to better serve this segment of our market will allow us to focus on those large accounts where we have historically delivered full solutions and support. We will still deliver world-class solutions to our other customers, and are highly confident that our excellent channel partners will provide the requisite support they require.
“As a consequence of these decisions, we have streamlined our sales and marketing functions to focus on only the larger opportunities in the market, effectively providing robust and full implementation, support and solutions in partnership with our customers. We therefore reduced our sales team and other positions, representing a 20% reduction in overall headcount, and are working in concert with our channel partners, where they will provide the implementation and support functions. We have reduced those costs associated with the broader part of our strategy, as well as other unnecessary overhead. Altogether, we believe we can drive higher revenue growth, higher revenue-per-employee, as well as sustainable profitability for our shareholders.
“We also invested additional resources to ensure our initial VAC4 customer installations were successful. This effort also took away from our ability to go-to-market effectively, which contributed to the revenue decline in the second quarter. We believe we have the correct products, structure and partners to effectively and profitably serve this large and growing market.
“We are already seeing positive signs from current and prospective customers to our new go-to-market approach, demonstrated by our recent selection by a Fortune 50 company to be their North American telemetry partner. Their choice of I.D. Systems not only supports our new direction, but also validates how our solutions meet the enterprise needs of the world’s largest corporations. We are also seeing revitalized interest from the rental car market, as demonstrated by a new development engagement initiated during the second quarter by Avis Budget Group, a Fortune 500 company and owner of Zipcar, the world’s leading car sharing network.
“Along with the benefits from our ‘2.0’ initiative, we expect our new approach to the market and the reduction in headcount to reduce our operating costs by $4 million annually. These savings, together with our refocused go-to-market strategy are intended to boost sales among larger customers and improve our financial results for the second half of the year.”

Second Quarter 2015 Operational Highlights

  • I.D. Systems received purchase orders with five-year service contracts for initial system deployments with new customers, including, for transportation asset management (TAM) products, Roly’s Trucking and Logistics One, and for VMS solutions, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas—the seventh Toyota manufacturing plant in North America to deploy I.D.

  • Completed the full commercial release of a dry van trailer tracking system with patented cargo and door/light sensing system. The system passed a series of stringent customer field tests, which helped refine the sensitivity and settings of the system.
  • Continued to refine and improve analytics software tools, backend system hosting capabilities, and ERP systems to better support the company’s enterprise and hosted customers and to better streamline operations.
  • U.S. Patent and Trademark Office allowed I.D. Systems’ application for its fourth patent pertaining to wireless rental car management. The patent covers a method to control vehicle access remotely, enabling a vehicle-mounted device to communicate wirelessly with smart phones to allow authorized renters to unlock the doors and energize the vehicle.

I.D. SYSTEMS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue Up 14% from First Quarter of 2014
 
Woodcliff Lake, NJ, May 7, 2015—I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of wireless solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things, today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
First Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights
  • Revenue increased 14% to $11.1 million from $9.7 million in the first quarter of 2014, driven primarily by a 35% increase in revenue from the company’s transportation asset management (TAM) systems.
  • Recurring revenue was $4.5 million, or 40% of total revenue, compared to $4.3 million, or 44% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2014.
  • Gross margin was 36% compared to 51% in the first quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to four factors:
    • the company’s continued transition to a new pricing model for vehicle management systems (VMS), which emphasizes multi-year, high-margin recurring service contracts over lower-margin upfront hardware revenue;
    • initial costs to integrate and train a VMS implementation partner, which the company believes will improve labor efficiency and capacity to accommodate future enterprise customer roll-outs;
    • start-up costs for initial production of the company’s new generation of VMS devices, which are expected to improve going forward through cost-cutting initiatives and increased volume; and
    • a low gross margin on a $1.1 million sale of TAM spare parts to Walmart, which was part of a refurbishment program expected extend the life of TAM devices on Walmart trailers for years and have a corresponding positive effect on long-term TAM revenue.
  • Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were flat compared to the first quarter of 2014, at $6.8 million. Excluding non-recurring costs of $0.7 million related to an unconsummated strategic initiative in 2015 and $1.1 million related to an executive change in 2014, non-GAAP SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2015 and 2014 were $6.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively.
  • Research and development expenses increased to $1.23 million from $1.15 million in the first quarter of 2014, primarily as a result of increased system and quality testing on the company’s new products.
  • Excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and other non-recurring items, non-GAAP net loss was $2.7 million, or $(0.22) per basic and diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $0.9 million, or $(0.08) per basic and diluted share, in the same period a year ago.
  • Net loss was $3.9 million, or $(0.32) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million, or $(0.24) per basic and diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014.
  • As of March 31, 2015, I.D. Systems had $11.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and no debt.

Management Commentary
Kenneth Ehrman, I.D. Systems’ chairman and CEO, said, “We are pleased with our 14% year over year revenue growth in the first quarter of 2015. Our TAM business segment exceeded our revenue target and VMS unit sales were in line with our expectations. Our pipeline is strong and we remain confident we can meet our 2015 objective of sustaining the revenue growth rate we achieved in 2014.
“While our gross margin in the first quarter of 2015 was lower than historical levels, the factors contributing to this short-term result are related primarily to the ‘I.D. Systems 2.0’ quality improvements and repeatable, scalable processes we implemented for customers during the first quarter, including Knight Transportation, Raymond, Toyota and Walmart. We believe this investment will positively impact future business with all of our customers going forward.
“One of the most exciting aspects of our pipeline is our partnership with Toyota Industrial Equipment, the North American arm of the world’s largest manufacturer of lift trucks. We have been training their dealer network on selling our VMS solutions and have established automated online tools, integrated with Toyota’s backend systems, which we expect will streamline Toyota’s quoting and ordering processes. We are starting to see some orders from Toyota Industrial Equipment, but expect more revenue impact from this exciting program in the second half of 2015.”

I.D. SYSTEMS CONCLUDES “I.D. SYSTEMS 2.0” INITIATIVE

Woodcliff Lake, NJ, March 5, 2015I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of wireless solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things, has completed its “I.D. Systems 2.0” strategic initiative, aimed at building quality, repeatable and scalable processes to support the company’s goals for revenue growth and profitability. Examples of projects completed under the initiative include:

  • Accelerated product development: I.D. Systems released four new products commercially in 2014, bringing the devices to market in approximately half the time it would have taken under the original project plan.Improved software upgrade execution: I.D. Systems tripled its rate of VMS software upgrades in 2014, compared to historical levels, enabling existing customers to transition to the current generation of hardware and, optionally, gain full access to the business intelligence of I.D. Systems’ Analytics offering. Software upgrades also reduce the company’s costs to support older software versions.
    • For its VMS business, I.D. Systems launched and shipped approximately 1,000 units of its fourth-generation on-vehicle device, the “VAC4,” in 2014. This product decreases VMS implementation costs by up to 40% compared to the previous generation of system hardware. It also increases the speed of deployment by over 50%—primarily by reducing installation time from as much as four hours to as little as one hour. In addition, the VAC4 enables seamless wireless field upgrades, which are designed to keep end users current with the company’s latest software functionality, simplify customer support, and help end users optimize value from the system.
    • For its transportation asset management (TAM) business, I.D. Systems launched and shipped three new products, expanding and improving its portfolio of patented, industry-leading container and trailer tracking solutions. The GSM-D400, an intermodal container tracking system, and the GSM-D150, an intermodal chassis tracking device, are designed to address the needs of a key growth market in the U.S transportation industry. The GSM-D300, a dry van management system with an advanced cargo sensor, enables customers to perform full-function asset monitoring with either satellite or cellular communications.
  • Enhanced Analytics capabilities: The company improved the enterprise analysis and data drill-down capabilities of its Analytics platform for multi-site, multi-region customers in both its VMS and TAM businesses, further leveraging I.D. Systems’ unique database of supply chain asset data. Additionally, the company automated the distribution of Analytics data to provide customers with a scalable means of quantifying the benefits of their VMS deployments, without the need for I.D. Systems’ performance services team to make individual site visits.
  • Improved management and scalability of field service resources: The company introduced new processes and engaged a new implementation partner, Metro Mobile Electronics, to reduce its lead-time for on-site customer installation support by approximately 80% compared to historical levels. The improvements also enable more rapid, scalable responsiveness to customer service requirements, including system roll-outs across multiple sites in customers’ enterprises.
  • Improved, more scalable training tools: I.D. Systems developed and launched a suite of new computer-based training tools to improve customer access to both initial and ongoing system training, while streamlining utilization of the company’s training resources. With these online tools supplementing or replacing live training, the company’s capacity to train customers has become highly scalable.
  • Improved supplier quality assurance: The company introduced a new Quality Audit process, which increased product quality at both contract manufacturing production facilities and third-party fulfillment centers, both of which drop-ship directly to I.D. Systems’ customers.
  • Improved VMS hardware support: By implementing new customer support processes, I.D. Systems achieved 100% of its service level commitment to VMS end users for the last six months of 2014.

“We accomplished all of our primary goals for the ‘I.D. Systems 2.0′ initiative,” said Kenneth Ehrman, I.D. Systems’ chairman and CEO. “Our targeted short-term investments accelerated the commercialization of four important new products and improved the quality and scalability of our services to address key customer requirements in our target markets. We believe this initiative contributed directly to the company’s record annual revenue, double-digit year-over-year revenue growth, and continued leadership in the rapidly growing wireless VMS market. We look forward to continue working toward consistent, profitable revenue growth and a growing market share, leveraging the accomplishments of our ‘I.D. Systems 2.0’ initiative.”
