Iteris Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2014 Results
SANTA ANA, Calif. July 30, 2013 Iteris, Inc. (NYSE MKT: ITI), a leader in providing intelligent traffic management information solutions, reported financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Fiscal Q1 2014 Highlights vs. Same Year-ago Quarter
· Total revenues up 4% to $17.0 million.
· Transportation Systems segment revenues up 5% to $8.3 million.
· Roadway Sensors segment revenues up 5% to $7.5 million.
· Gross margin improved 110 basis points to 39.5%.
· Net income was $460,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to $676,000, or $0.02 per share. Net income in the year-ago quarter benefited from a $334,000 positive adjustment related to acquisition consideration.
· Invested approximately $484,000 in iPerform® research, development, and sales & marketing compared to $235,000.
· Released upgrade to iPeMS software that provides seamless plug-and-play data ingestion capabilities from third party data sources.
Fiscal Q1 2014 Financial Results
Total revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 4% to $17.0 million compared to $16.3 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily attributed to a 5% increase in both Roadway Sensors and Transportation Systems revenues.
As part of an internal reorganization during the first quarter, the companys weather-related Management Decision Support Services (MDSS), historically included in the Transportation Systems segment, were reassigned to the iPerform segment to better align the companys predictive weather and traffic capabilities, resources, and initiatives. Prior year segment information, provided below, is restated to reflect the reassignment of approximately $481,000 in revenues related to MDSS.
Gross margin in the first quarter was 39.5% compared to 38.4% in the same year-ago quarter.
The 110 basis point increase was primarily the result of higher margins in Transportation Systems from improved labor utilization on projects.
Operating expenses in the first quarter increased 13% to $6.1 million compared to $5.4 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to a rise in the fair value of contingent acquisition consideration, higher sales and marketing activities in Roadway Sensors and iPerform, and an increase in research and development expenses associated with iPerform. In fact, the Company invested approximately $484,000 on iPerform research, development, and sales & marketing compared to $235,000 in the same year-ago quarter.
Income from continuing operations in the first quarter was $430,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to $589,000, or $0.02 per share, in the year-ago quarter. Net income in the first quarter was $460,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to $676,000, or $0.02 per share, in the year-ago quarter. Both income from continuing operations and net income in the year-ago quarter benefited from a $334,000 positive adjustment related to the change in fair value of contingent acquisition consideration. Net of this adjustment, income from continuing operations increased 69% despite a significant increased investment to fund iPerform R&D.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, Iteris repurchased approximately 175,000 shares of its common stock for $303,000. Since implementing a series of repurchasing programs beginning in August 2011, the company has repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $3.5 million. Approximately $783,000 remains available for repurchase under such programs.
Total backlog at the end of the first quarter was $34.2 million compared to $38.6 million in the prior quarter and $36.5 million in the same year-ago quarter. Backlog was comprised of $26.1 million from Transportation Systems, $4.9 million from iPerform and $3.2 million from Roadway Sensors.
Management Commentary
Revenue growth in our first quarter, on both a sequential and year-ago comparative basis, demonstrates strengthening demand for our core Roadway Sensors products and Transportation Systems services, said Abbas Mohaddes, president and CEO of Iteris. We believe these results, which helped drive a profitable bottom line despite the accelerated investment in iPerform, are the result of an expanding traffic management market and the growth strategy we laid out in fiscal 2013.
During the quarter, the investment in our iPerform performance management suite, particularly our flagship traffic analytics product, iPeMS, produced a technological breakthrougha newly released upgrade that allows operators to seamlessly ingest and analyze traffic data from multiple data providers on a plug-and-play basis, alleviating the need for costly and time-consuming custom integration. This unique capability is representative of several innovations we have under development that should help drive iPerforms position in the market and accelerate the growth of this segment.
Todays transportation markets require innovative, technological solutions like iPeMS, which go beyond monitoring travel times and the traditional red-yellow-green light paradigm, to provide operators with the information they need to make actionable decisions for their traffic networks. As the market demand for better informational and analytic tools continues to expand, we believe the investments we are making today will highlight Iteris as the go-to-market leader for the intelligent traffic management market. We expect iPerforms recurring revenue model to supplement our core consulting and product segments, while enhancing the overall profitability of our business.
For the remainder of fiscal 2014, we plan to stay focused on developing and delivering solutions to the areas of the intelligent traffic management market that are growing faster than the overall market. This will require further expansion of our sales, marketing, and research and development teams, especially within iPerform. The market is clearly in need of the intelligent traffic management products and solutions we provide, so we remain confident that the investments were making in these areas should continue to drive revenue growth and build shareholder value.
