Management Commentary

"In the third quarter of 2011 we achieved our highest quarterly revenue to date and our fifth consecutive quarter of revenue growth," said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D. Systems' chairman and CEO. "We are also pleased by our net income of $0.06 per share, on a non-GAAP basis.

"Our strong third quarter revenue was driven by three factors: deployment of rental vehicle management systems for Avis Budget, which based its new "Avis On Location" virtual rental offering on our wireless technology; robust sales of our core industrial vehicle management systems; and record orders of our Asset Intelligence transportation management solutions. Our revenues continue to reflect a balance of product and service sales, with 45% of total revenue for the first nine months of 2011 coming from recurring sources.

"I.D. Systems' gross margins remain strong and stable, at 52% for the quarter and 53% for the nine-month period, consistent with the company's historical range. We also continue to closely manage costs, with combined SG&A and R&D expenses over the first nine months of 2011 9% lower than the same period last year."
