WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Nov. 4, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- I.D. Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDSY) today announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2010.
- Revenue for the quarter increased 8% to $6.5 million, compared to $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2010, attributable primarily to increased sales of wireless vehicle management systems.
- Gross margin for the quarter was 52%.
- Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") costs decreased 34% to $4.4 million, compared to $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2010.
- Net loss for the quarter was reduced by 54% to $1.9 million, or ($0.17) per basic and diluted share, compared to $4.0 million, or ($0.36) per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010.
- Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of September 30, 2010, increased $1.2 million to $28.3 million, compared to $27.1 million, net of a $1.1 million line of credit, as of June 30, 2010.
In addition, on November 3, 2010, I.D. Systems' Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of the company's common stock having an aggregate value of up to $3 million pursuant to a share repurchase program. The repurchases under this program will be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and will be funded from I.D. Systems' working capital. The amount and timing of such repurchases will be dependent upon the price and availability of shares, general market conditions, and the availability of cash, as determined at the discretion of I.D. Systems' management.
"The growth of our wireless industrial vehicle management business, the recurring service contract revenue from the trailer tracking business of our Asset Intelligence subsidiary, and our efforts to reduce operating costs are all positive trends that contributed to our substantially lower net loss for the quarter," said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D. Systems' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We also increased our net cash position by over $1 million, with no debt. With the market for our core wireless vehicle management solutions rebounding from the global economic downturn of 2009, we are optimistic that our business will continue to improve."
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, revenues were $18.6 million, compared to $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Gross margin for the nine-month period was 56%, compared to 53% for the corresponding period in 2009. Net loss for the period was $9.9 million, or ($0.89) per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $8.4 million, or ($0.77) per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 includes the results of I.D. Systems' Asset Intelligence subsidiary acquired in January, 2010, which are not included in the 2009 period.
Highlights for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010 included:
- Expansion of I.D. Systems' solutions with existing customers, including Ford, Nestle, and Walgreens.
- Initial implementations of I.D. Systems' PowerFleet® Wireless Vehicle Management System on the industrial truck fleets of Boar's Head and Campbell's Soup, among other new customers.
- Growing channel sales of PowerFleet® through I.D. Systems' marketing partner, The Raymond Corporation, a leading industrial truck manufacturer, with initial system deployments for a Fortune 500 retailer, a Fortune 500 healthcare supplier, and other new end-users.
- Initial deployments of the VeriWise™ Track & Trace product from I.D. Systems' Asset Intelligence subsidiary on the trailer fleets of new customers, including the Container Port Group.
- Expansion of I.D. Systems' intellectual property portfolio, including the award of new patents on mobile asset management and remote, automated asset maintenance activities.
"During the third quarter, in addition to sales and revenue gains, we achieved a reduction in operating expenses, compared to the second quarter of 2010," said Mr. Jagid. "We are confident we will be able to drive costs even lower by early 2011, and continue to improve our overall financial results."
SG&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010, were $4.4 million, compared to $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2010. SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, were $17.6 million, compared to $11.6 million for the corresponding period of 2009, reflecting expenses related to the acquisition of the Asset Intelligence business unit.
Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the third quarter of 2010 were flat at $1.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, R&D expenses were $3.4 million, compared to $2.0 million for the corresponding period in 2009, primarily reflecting investments in new Asset Intelligence products coming to market in 2010.
