I.D. SYSTEMS LAUNCHES NEXT GENERATION OF INTELLIGENT ON-VEHICLE COMPUTERS FOR WIRELESS INDUSTRIAL VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (VMS)

Atlanta, GA, March 17, 2014—I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of wireless M2M asset management solutions, introduced its 4th-generation Vehicle Asset Communicator® (VAC) at the Modex material handling exhibition, which commenced today at Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center. The VAC is an intelligent, highly configurable, RFID-based, vehicle-mounted computer that forms the backbone of I.D. Systems’ wireless Vehicle Management Systems for lift trucks and other industrial vehicles.
A wireless Vehicle Management System (VMS) helps improve material handling productivity by establishing accountability for the use of equipment, ensuring equipment is in the proper place at the right time, streamlining work flow, and providing unique metrics and Key Performance Indicators for equipment and labor. A wireless VMS also helps improve workplace safety and security by restricting vehicle access to trained operators, providing electronic vehicle inspection checklists, and sensing vehicle impacts. In addition, a wireless VMS helps reduce fleet maintenance costs by automatically uploading vehicle data, reporting vehicle problems electronically, scheduling maintenance according to actual usage rather than by calendar time, and helping determine the optimal economic time to replace equipment.
“Our new Vehicle Asset Communicator keeps I.D. Systems at the leading edge of wireless VMS,” said Kenneth Ehrman, the company’s president and interim CEO. “We pioneered the wireless VMS market almost two decades ago, and we have seen our VMS become a best practice in the world’s best supply chains. The unique effectiveness and value of our patented technology lies in the thousands of details we have engineered into it. Everything we have learned over more than 15 years of successful system deployments for the world’s best companies, we have designed into our 4th-generation VAC.”
I.D. Systems’ new VAC simplifies VMS installation on industrial trucks, improves the vehicle operator’s experience, and enhances VMS functionality.
The new VAC is simpler to install than other devices in many ways. Its universal electrical architecture works on any OEM brand of lift truck, from 12-volt internal combustion (IC) vehicles, to 48-volt AC electric vehicles, to 100-volt DC electric vehicles. Its patented mounting bracket is universal as well, capable of affixing to both flat and curved surfaces, with unique protection for the unit’s connecting cables. A simplified wiring harness also helps minimize installation time, as does the VAC’s unique Installation Wizard, which guides the user through the installation process and instantly verifies the accuracy of vehicle sensor interfaces. In addition, the 4th-generation VAC has a smaller overall hardware footprint than earlier versions, so it can be mounted easily on even the smallest vehicles, like pallet jacks.
To enhance the vehicle operator’s experience, I.D. Systems’ new VAC has a phone-type, alphanumeric keypad and a larger, more versatile display. An operator can view up to nine menu options simultaneously, and any menu option can be selected by pressing a single button, without toggling or scrolling. New on-screen iconography and animations also make it easier for the operator to see, understand, and interact with a wide range of system information and alerts. Additionally, the new VAC displays real-time status of various functions, like wireless connectivity and device diagnostics.
I.D. Systems also enhanced the functionality of its new VAC unit. The device is compatible with virtually any existing operator ID token a customer may have. The range of wireless options has been expanded to include in-vehicle cellular communications, which is beneficial for many applications, such as airport vehicle management. The new VAC also has enhanced motion-sensing technology for detection of vehicle coasting, adding another layer of fleet utilization data. And the 4th-generation VAC has multi-lingual character capabilities, so it can be deployed anywhere in the world.

I.D. SYSTEMS REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2013 RESULTS

Woodcliff Lake, NJ, March 6, 2014—I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of wireless M2M solutions for tracking, securing and managing high-value enterprise assets, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
Fourth Quarter 2013 Financial Results

  • Revenue increased 7% to $11.4 million from $10.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, driven by sales of industrial vehicle and transportation asset management systems, which increased 18% and 8%, respectively, compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.
  • Recurring revenue, derived primarily from the company’s transportation asset management systems, was $4.5 million, or 40% of total revenue.
  • Inventory reserve increased by $2.1 million, as a result of the company’s latest generation of wireless M2M technology rendering older products obsolete. This non-cash charge had a direct impact on the cost of sales and gross margins for the quarter and year; however, it had no effect on cash.
  • Excluding the inventory reserve charge, non-GAAP gross margin was 48%, compared to non-GAAP gross margin of 46% in the fourth quarter of 2012. GAAP gross margin was 30% for the quarter, compared to 45% in the same period a year ago.
  • Fourth quarter selling, general and administrative costs and research & development expenses were unchanged year-over year, at $5.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
  • Excluding the inventory reserve charge, stock-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization, non-GAAP net loss was $155,000, or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $215,000, or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share, in the same period a year ago.
  • Net loss totaled $3.1 million, or $(0.26) per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $1.0 million, or $(0.09) per basic and diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Operational Highlights

  • Recurring business from core customers, including 3M, Alcoa, Bridgestone, Caterpillar, CNH, Ford Motor Company, Forward Air, General Mills, John Deere, Knight Transportation, Meijer, Nestlé, Price Chopper, Procter & Gamble, Swift Transportation, the U.S. Postal Service, and Walmart.
  • Initial orders for system implementations from new customers, including a global healthcare company, a major manufacturer of oil & gas production equipment, a U.S. airline, a leading aircraft components supplier, a frozen food distributor, and, in the U.K., the BMW Group.
  • Significant revenue contributions from channel partners (primarily industrial truck manufacturers and their dealers), which sold I.D. Systems’ solutions to a wide range of end users, including two Fortune 500 retailers, two national grocery chains, three leading specialty retailers, two global automotive industry manufacturers, the world’s leading recreational products manufacturer, a major steel maker, a leading food producer, distributors of beverages and household goods, and a variety of other companies.
  • New product developments, including a fourth-generation on-vehicle computer for controlling and monitoring industrial trucks, two new cellular products for tracking trailer chassis and intermodal containers, an enhanced rental vehicle management device, and advances in the metrics provided by I.D. Systems Analytics.

Full Year 2013 Financial Results

  • Revenue was $39.9 million, compared to $44.6 million in 2012. The decrease was attributable to a $6.9 million decrease in revenue from rental fleet management systems, from $8.0 million to $1.1 million, partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in revenue from industrial vehicle and transportation asset management systems. The decrease in rental fleet management revenue reflects completion of the first phase of the company’s agreement with Avis Budget Group in 2012.
  • Recurring revenue increased 2% to $17.7 million, or 44% of total revenue, from $17.3 million, or 39% of total revenue, in 2012.
  • Excluding the inventory reserve charge, non-GAAP gross margin was 50%, compared to non-GAAP gross margin of 52% in 2012. GAAP gross margin was 45% for the year, compared to 51% in 2012.
  • Selling, general & administrative expenses decreased 3% to $21.8 million from $22.4 million in 2012, as management continued to closely monitor labor and other overhead costs.
  • Research and development expenses increased to $4.4 million from $4.3 million a year ago, reflecting the company’s continued investments in a new generation of wireless M2M products.
  • Excluding the inventory reserve charge, stock-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization, non-GAAP net loss was $2.1 million, or $(0.18) per basic and diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $748,000, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, in 2012.
  • Net loss was $7.5 million, or $(0.63) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million, or $(0.22) per basic and diluted share, in 2012.
  • As of December 31, 2013, the company had $14.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, equating to $1.15 per share outstanding, and no debt. As of December 31, 2012, the company had $15.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Results for the fourth quarter and full year 2013 include an income tax benefit of $63,000, and results for the fourth quarter and full year 2012 include an income tax benefit of $662,000, from the sale of a portion of the company’s New Jersey net operating losses under the State’s Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program, which allows qualified New Jersey-based technology businesses to sell unused amounts of net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credits for cash.
Management Commentary
“We are encouraged by the continued revenue growth in our industrial vehicle management segment, and our core margins underlying that business,” said Kenneth Ehrman, I.D. Systems’ president and interim chief executive officer. “Although our decision to increase inventory reserve by $2.1 million significantly impacted margins in 2013, our action was appropriate and necessary. We had a group of aged products, including many we obtained in our acquisitions of PowerKey in 2008 and Asset Intelligence in 2010, which have been rendered obsolete by our latest generation of cutting-edge wireless products.
“These product developments, which we believe position the company well to capitalize on the increasing global adoption of M2M technology, include the fourth generation of our smart, on-vehicle device for controlling industrial trucks, two improved cellular devices for tracking trailer chassis and intermodal containers, an enhanced rental vehicle management unit, and refinements to our Analytics software offering.
“Our rental fleet management business remains an evolving opportunity, not only with our current customer, Avis Budget Group, but also with other companies—both in and outside of the car rental industry. We will continue our efforts to commercialize our intellectual property in this area.
“Our cloud-based Analytics software has evolved through multiple customer deployments, resulting in the recent launch of an industry-first set of key performance indicators based on Analytics data. These KPIs enable unique, quantified valuations of material handling operations, which provide a daily assessment of industrial vehicle performance and form the basis for comparison with the user’s peer industry.
“We remain focused on expanding business with core enterprise customers—particularly by leveraging our Analytics software—and diversifying revenue through new customer development. We are also committed to maintaining I.D. Systems’ position as a leader in wireless M2M solutions—by investing in key resources to accelerate growth, improving our internal quality processes, and capitalizing on both short- and long-term growth opportunities.”
Investor Conference Call
I.D. Systems will hold a conference call for investors and analysts today, Thursday, March 6, 2014, at 4:45 p.m. Eastern time. The company’s interim CEO, Kenneth Ehrman, will lead a discussion on 2013 results and other recent developments, followed by a question and answer period. The conference call will be broadcast live via the Investors section of the company’s website at idsy2019.wpengine.com. To listen to the live call, go to the website at least 10 minutes early to download and install any necessary audio software.
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 gross margin, 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.
