Inc. (NASDAQ: ITI), the global leader in applied informatics for
transportation and agriculture, today reported financial results for its
fiscal third quarter 2019 ended December 31, 2018.
Fiscal Third Quarter 2019 Financial Summary

Total revenue of $23.1 million, down 11% year over year and 5%
sequentially -

from same period FY18 -

over year and 46% sequentially -
Agriculture and Weather Analytics net bookings or added backlog of
$6.1 million year to date, up 34% from same period FY18 -
Transportation Systems revenue of $11.3 million, down 17% year over
year and 8% sequentially -
Transportation Systems net bookings or added backlog of $44.3 million
year to date, up 34% from same period FY18 -
Roadway Sensors revenue of $10.2 million, down 7% both year over year
and sequentially -
Roadway Sensors net bookings or added backlog of $32.6 million year to

Management commentary:
“Although we are disappointed with the company’s third quarter financial
performance, we are pleased with the 34% year-to-date net bookings or
added backlog growth from both the Transportation Systems and the
Agriculture and Weather Analytics segments,” said Joe Bergera, president
and CEO. “Indeed, we expect Iteris to benefit from significant,
long-term demand for smart transportation and digital agriculture
solutions.
“We began the current fiscal year with strong headwinds, resulting from
a change to a large contract with the Virginia Department of
Transportation and protracted issues in the State of Texas following
Hurricane Harvey. Additionally, the third quarter of our prior fiscal
year benefited from disaster recovery spending in the immediate
aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, which impacted our year-over-year
comparison. Going forward, we will begin to put these headwinds behind
us and the continued increase in our consolidated net bookings and added
backlog will return Iteris to sequential growth in our fiscal fourth
quarter, as well as drive sustained year-over-year growth in our new
fiscal year.”
GAAP Fiscal Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Total revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 decreased 11% to $23.1
million, compared with $26.0 million in the same quarter a year ago.
This decline was due to a 17% decrease in Transportation Systems and a
7% decrease in Roadway Sensors, which was partially offset by an 11%
increase in Agriculture and Weather Analytics revenue.
Operating expenses in the third quarter were relatively consistent with
the same quarter a year ago at $11.4 million, compared with $11.1
million.
Operating loss in the third quarter was $2.5 million compared with an
operating loss of $1.1 million in the same quarter a year ago. Net loss
in the third quarter was $2.5 million, or ($0.07) per share, compared
with a net income of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share in the year-ago
quarter.
Non-GAAP Fiscal Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the company has
included the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP operating
expenses, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP basic
and diluted net loss per share. These non-GAAP financial measures
exclude the following items: (a) stock compensation expense; (b)
depreciation; (c) amortization; and (d) the estimated tax effect of the
foregoing non-GAAP adjustments. A discussion of the company’s use of
these non-GAAP financial measures is set forth below in the financial
statements portion of this release under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial
Measures and Reconciliation,” which also includes a reconciliation of
such non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial
measures for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Non-GAAP operating expenses in the third quarter increased to $10.6
million, compared with $10.4 million in the same quarter a year ago.
Non-GAAP operating loss in the third quarter was approximately $1.5
million, compared with operating loss of approximately $271,000 in the
same quarter a year ago. Non-GAAP net loss in the third quarter was
approximately $1.5 million, or ($0.04) per share, compared with net
income of approximately $1.2 million, or $0.03 per fully diluted share,
in the same quarter a year ago.

ITERIS, INC.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and
Reconciliation
In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company
has included the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release:
non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating (loss) income, non-GAAP
net income and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the
following items: (a) stock-based compensation; (b) depreciation; (c)
amortization; and (d) the estimated tax effect of the foregoing non-GAAP
adjustments.
Iteris believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial
measures provides important supplemental information to management and
investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its
financial condition and results of operations. Iteris’ management
believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides
consistency and comparability among and between results from prior
periods or forecasts and future prospects, and also facilitates
comparisons with other companies in its industry. The company’s
management believes that the exclusion of the items described above
provides insight into core operating results, the ability to generate
cash and underlying business trends affecting performance. Iteris has
chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to
perform additional analysis of past, present and future operating
performance, and as a supplemental means to evaluate ongoing core
operations.
Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures internally for
strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating
current performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in
accordance with GAAP; therefore, the information is not necessarily
comparable to other companies’ financial information and should be
considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the
corresponding financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Details of the items excluded from GAAP financial results in calculating
non-GAAP financial measures and explanatory footnotes are as follows:
| a) |
Iteris excludes stock-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses and management finds it useful to exclude certain non-cash charges to assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods. Moreover, because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use under FASB ASC Topic 718, Iteris believes excluding stock-based compensation expenses allows investors to make meaningful comparisons between our recurring core business operating results and those of other companies. |
||
| b) |
Iteris excludes depreciation expenses from its non-GAAP financial measures. Management finds it useful to exclude these charges to assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods. |
||
| c) |
Iteris incurs amortization of developed technology and purchased intangibles in connection with acquisitions of certain businesses and technologies. Amortization of developed technologies and purchased intangibles is inconsistent in amount and frequency, and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our developments and acquisitions. Management finds it useful to exclude these variable charges from our cost of revenues and operating expenses to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to our revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to our future period revenues as well. Amortization of developed technologies and purchased intangible assets will recur in future periods. |
||
| d) |
The amount represents the estimated income tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments. The tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were calculated by applying an estimated tax rate of 1% to each specific non-GAAP item, due to the impact of the valuation allowance on our effective tax rate in those years. |
