Iteris Holdings, Inc. Reports Fiscal Fourth Quarter Results
Anaheim, California — June 08, 2004 — Iteris Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: ITRSA & ITRSB), a leading provider of traffic optimization and safety technology, today reported financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and 12-month period ended March 31, 2004.
For the fourth quarter, Iteris reported net sales and contract revenues of $11.4 million, an increase of 4.5 percent compared to net sales and contract revenues of $10.9 million in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year. The Company reported operating income of $454,000, compared to an operating loss of $1.5 million reported in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year. The increase in operating income reflects a 33 percent reduction in operating expenses in the current year fiscal fourth quarter. The net income for the current year fiscal fourth quarter was $117,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to the net loss of $8.3 million, or $(0.55) per diluted share, in the previous year fiscal fourth quarter, which included losses of $5.7 million related to discontinued operations. Net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 included a tax benefit of $644,000 for the realization of deferred tax assets.
For the year ended March 31, 2004, Iteris reported revenue of $45.3 million, an increase of 9.4 percent compared to the $41.4 million reported for the comparable year-ago period. The Company reported operating income of $1.0 million in the current year compared to an operating loss of $1.1 million reported in the comparable year-ago
-more-
period. The net income for the year was $7,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $13.1 million, or $(0.92) per diluted share for the same period last year.
Continuing operations in all periods have been restated to reflect only the operations of Iteris Holdings, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiary, Iteris, Inc.
Greg Miner, chief executive officer of Iteris Holdings, commented, “This was a very positive quarter for Iteris Holdings on a number of fronts. Operationally, we announced our first launch customer for AutoVue for the passenger car market; and we continued to post strong gains in AutoVue sales. The current fiscal fourth quarter continued to be difficult in the markets for Transportation Systems Services revenues. We are encouraged, however, with recent developments in California’s budget status for new ITS projects. Similarly, although Congress continues to deliberate the highway bill, we expect that piece of legislation to be resolved in the near term. These two factors impacted our fourth quarter financial performance, but our tight focus on cost controls, coupled with the increase in AutoVue revenue, allowed us to meet our internal expectations.”
Mr. Miner continued, “Organizationally, we made significant progress toward our goal of consolidating Iteris Holdings and its majority owned subsidiary, Iteris, Inc. We started out the fiscal year with a 40 percent minority interest ownership in Iteris, Inc. The preferred stock minority interest in Iteris, Inc. was purchased in May 2004, and as of today, the minority interest in our Iteris, Inc. subsidiary has been reduced to 17.3 percent. We believe the consolidation of Iteris Holdings with Iteris, Inc. has multiple long term benefits for all stockholders, and anticipate having the process completed within the next 120 days.”
Highlights:
• Revenues from AutoVue in-vehicle safety systems increased 284% during the quarter compared to last year’s fourth quarter, and increased 173% for the full fiscal year in 2004 compared to 2003. Testing is underway for AutoVue by a number of fleet operators in the commercial truck market.
• In the fourth quarter of this fiscal year, Iteris reached a cumulative installed base of 25,000 Vantage cameras installed in intersections covering 49 states—reflective of our continued leadership for vision based traffic intersection control.
• In May 2004, we completed the placement of $10.1 million in subordinated convertible debentures and a $5.0 million senior term credit facility and purchased the preferred stock minority interest held by Daimler Chrysler and the Government Investment Corporation of Singapore for $17.5 million. Daimler Chrysler continues to be a common stock holder of the Company.
We anticipate that consolidated revenues will be approximately $11.0 million in the first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2004.
