I.D. Systems, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Financial Results


HACKENSACK, N.J., July 31, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- I.D. Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDSY) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2008. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008, were $5.5 million, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. GAAP net loss for the quarter was $1.5 million, or ($0.14) per basic and diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss of $2.6 million, or ($.23) per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2007.

Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $671,000, or ($0.06) per basic and diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $1.8 million, or ($0.16) per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2007. Non-GAAP results were calculated by adjusting GAAP net results for the impact of stock-based compensation, which was $857,000 for the second quarter of 2008 and $835,000 for the second quarter of 2007. A table entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" is included in this press release.

"Our wireless technology for controlling, tracking and managing industrial vehicles continues to earn repeat business from core customers, most notably the U.S. Postal Service, Walgreens and other leading U.S. retailers," said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D. Systems' chairman and chief executive officer. "We also continue to develop a broader customer base and diversify our sources of revenue; for example, we added Xerox as a customer during the second quarter. We have made significant progress building our sales pipeline and we remain confident about reaching our financial goals for 2008, including $24 million in revenues."

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, gross profit margin was 52.5%, compared to 46.2% for the corresponding period in 2007.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were $4.3 million, including $721,000 in stock-based compensation, compared to $3.9 million, including $629,000 in stock-based compensation, for the second quarter in 2007. The increase was attributable primarily to increased payroll and related expenses resulting from the hiring of additional employees to position the company for growth.

Research and development expenditures for the second quarter of 2008 were $708,000, including $119,000 in stock-based compensation, compared to $594,000, including $195,000 in stock-based compensation, for the corresponding period in 2007. The increase was attributable primarily to the fact that, in 2007, a greater amount of research and development payroll expenses was offset by customer funding.

Interest income for the quarter was $593,000, compared to $768,000 for the same period in 2007. The decrease was attributable to lower interest rates and a decrease in the amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in 2008.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, revenues were $9.8 million, compared to $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Gross profit margin for the six-month period was 50.8%, compared to 47.8% for the comparable period in 2007. GAAP net loss for the six-month period was $3.6 million, or ($.33) per basic and diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss of $4.1 million, or ($0.36) per basic share and diluted share for the first six months of 2007.

Adjusting for $1.6 million in stock-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008, was $1.9 million, or ($0.18) per basic and diluted share. For the corresponding period in 2007, also adjusting for $1.6 million in stock-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net loss was $2.5 million, or ($0.22) per basic and diluted share. A table entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" is included in this press release.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, SG&A expenses were $8.5 million, compared to $7.7 million for the same period in 2007. The increase was attributable primarily to increased payroll and related expenses resulting from the hiring of additional employees. Research and development expenditures for the period were $1.4 million, compared to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Interest income for the first six months of 2008 was $1.4 million, compared to $1.6 million for the same period a year ago.

As of June 30, 2008, I.D. Systems had $56.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and $29.9 million of working capital, compared to $65.0 million and $31.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2007. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the company purchased approximately 120,000 shares of its common stock in open market transactions under the company's stock repurchase program initiated in May of 2007. The average cost per share for these transactions was $7.09, for a total cost during the quarter of approximately $851,000. As of June 30, 2008, I.D. Systems had purchased a cumulative total of approximately 898,000 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $9.73 per share, for a cumulative total cost of approximately $8.7 million. As of June 30, 2008, the maximum dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the program is approximately $1.3 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

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.

Systems' current financial performance and provide further information for comparative information due to the adoption of accounting standard SFAS 123R. Specifically, I.D.
