I.D. SYSTEMS AWARDED TWO MORE PATENTS FOR WIRELESS VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Woodcliff Lake, NJ, April 28, 2014— I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of wireless M2M asset management solutions, has been awarded two United States patents: number 8,676,670 for a mobile asset data management system, primarily for industrial vehicles, and number 8,671,063 for a wireless vehicle rental system with remotely controlled vehicle access. I.D. Systems now holds more than 60 patents related to its wireless M2M asset management systems.
“We are delighted to be awarded these important patents, which we believe provide our company with significant protections against competitors in our industrial fleet management and rental fleet management business segments,” said Kenneth Ehrman, I.D. Systems’ president and interim CEO. “We believe patent 8,676,670 is especially strong, because its filing date precedes the development of a number of competing systems, and because it addresses many functional aspects of wireless industrial vehicle management.”
Patent 8,676,670 covers a broad range of essential processes utilized by wireless vehicle management systems (VMS) for industrial trucks, such as forklifts and tow tractors. The following list summarizes, but does not definitively describe or limit, some of these now-patented processes:

  • the basic network architecture for a wireless VMS that utilizes an intermediary wireless device between the system database and system’s vehicle-mounted wireless devices;
  • vehicle access control authorizations by operator group;
  • impact sensing that incorporates the axes, time, level, and angle of an impact to a vehicle;
  • vehicle inspection checklists that are stored autonomously on vehicle-mounted devices, so the devices do not need to actively communicate over the wireless network to deliver the checklists;
  • programmable, event-triggered checklists that are stored autonomously on vehicle-mounted devices;
  • vehicle location tracking by radio frequency signals that are generated by an intermediary wireless device between the system database and the system’s vehicle-mounted wireless devices;
  • text messaging on vehicle-mounted wireless devices that does not require a constant, active communication link to the wireless network;
  • reminder messages about scheduled maintenance that are transmitted automatically to vehicle-mounted wireless devices;
  • the linkage of battery voltage data to other vehicle data, and automatically guiding the process of changing vehicle batteries;
  • aggregation of data on vehicle-mounted devices into compact, low-bandwidth usage records;
  • preservation and wireless communication of the most recent, relevant data, avoiding redundant wireless data traffic and eliminating unnecessary network bandwidth usage;
  • wireless updates of system configuration parameters; and
  • wireless communication between vehicle-mounted devices which avoids the need to transmit certain system configuration data through any intermediary wireless devices.

Patent 8,671,063 covers essential processes in managing a car rental remotely and wirelessly. These processes include monitoring vehicle mileage and fuel levels, tracking the location of vehicles while they are on a rental lot, automatically updating vehicle readiness in the rental system, and enabling remote rental check-outs. The patent also covers a method to avoid radio frequency interference from multiple vehicles communicating wirelessly in the same area.
This is I.D. Systems’ third patent award pertaining specifically to wireless rental car management. The company’s first patent application for an automated vehicle rental system was filed in 1999. I.D. Systems expects that the newly awarded patent will help it further penetrate the rental car market, as well as serve as a barrier to competition.

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.”

I.D. SYSTEMS’ WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY TO BE LAUNCHED IN CHINA BY GLOBAL CONSUMER PACKAGED GOODS CUSTOMER

$935,000 Purchase Order Funds Deployment of Powerfleet® Wireless Vehicle Management System at Three Sites in China
Woodcliff Lake, NJ, February 10, 2014—I.D. Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDSY), a leading provider of wireless M2M asset management solutions, has received a purchase order valued at $935,000 from one of the world’s largest consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies, a long-time I.D. Systems customer. The order calls for I.D. Systems to deploy its Powerfleet® wireless Vehicle Management System (VMS) on fleets of industrial trucks at three of the customer’s facilities in the Peoples Republic of China.
After implementation, the customer will have deployed the Powerfleet VMS on more than 1,300 vehicles across 19 sites worldwide, including in Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, and North America. The order was secured and implementation will be overseen by I.D. Systems’ European subsidiary, I.D. Systems GmbH.
“This will be the first deployment of our patented wireless technology in China, the world’s fastest-growing market for industrial vehicles,” said Jeffrey Jagid, I.D. Systems’ chairman and CEO. “This global CPG customer has clearly derived significant financial and operational benefits from our wireless systems, and we look forward to continue deploying our unique solutions for this customer around the world.”

About Vehicle Management Systems
Vehicle Management Systems (VMS) help improve workplace safety and security by restricting vehicle access to trained, authorized operators, providing electronic vehicle inspection checklists, and sensing vehicle impacts. A wireless VMS also 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. In addition, a wireless VMS helps improve supply chain productivity by establishing accountability for the use of equipment, ensuring equipment is in the proper place at the right time, streamlining material handling work flow, and providing unique metrics on equipment utilization.
