SANTA ANA, Calif. – February 3, 2022 – Iteris, Inc.

•Record total net bookings of $40.9 million, up 99% year over year
•Record total ending backlog of $92.3 million, up 20% year over year
•GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $2.4 million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, due to additional costs incurred related to raw material shortages
Year to Date 2022 Financial Summary

•Lowers adjusted EBITDA guidance range to 5% to 5.4% of fiscal 2022 full year revenue
Management Commentary:
“While supply chain issues affected cost of goods sold and revenue recognition in our fiscal third quarter, we experienced sustained strong customer adoption of Iteris’ ClearMobility Platform,” said Joe Bergera, president and CEO of Iteris. “During the quarter, total net bookings rose 99% year over year, resulting in record total ending backlog of $92.3 million. Although we anticipate supply chain challenges to continue through our fiscal fourth quarter, we expect double digit organic revenue growth due to the strength of our backlog and continued above market bookings growth.”
GAAP Fiscal Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Total revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 increased 14% to $32.0 million, compared with $28.2 million in the same quarter a year ago, primarily driven by the addition of revenues from TrafficCast.
Operating expenses in the third quarter increased 9% to $13.1 million, compared with $12.0 million the same quarter a year ago. The increase was a result of the TrafficCast acquisition, and continued investment in research and development, and sales and marketing.

Operating loss from continuing operations in the third quarter was approximately $2.0 million, compared with an operating loss from continuing operations of approximately $0.3 million in the same quarter a year ago. Net loss from continuing operations in the third quarter was approximately $2.4 million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, compared with net loss from continuing operations of $0.3 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, in the same quarter a year ago.
Non-GAAP Fiscal Third Quarter 2022 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 measure: Adjusted income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, acquisition costs, executive severance and transition costs, and project loss reserves (“Adjusted EBITDA”). A discussion of the company’s use of this non-GAAP financial measure is set forth below in the financial statements portion of this release under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation.”
Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter was approximately $0.1 million, or 0.3% of total revenues, compared with approximately $1.5 million, or 5.2% of total revenues, in the same quarter a year ago.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation
In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, the company has included the following non-GAAP financial measure in this release: Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, and project loss reserves (“Adjusted EBITDA”).
When viewed with our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and accompanying reconciliations, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides additional useful information to clarify and enhance the understanding of the factors and trends affecting our past performance and future prospects. We define this measure, explain how it is calculated and provide reconciliations of this measure to the most comparable GAAP measure in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. This is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as measures of our liquidity. The presentation of this measure should not be interpreted to mean that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
We use the Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP operating performance measure internally as a complementary financial measure to evaluate the performance and trends of our businesses. We present Adjusted EBITDA and the related financial ratios, as applicable, because we believe that measures such as these provide useful information with respect to our ability to meet our operating commitments.
Adjusted EBITDA and the related financial ratios have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include:
•They do not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
•They are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;
•They do not reflect the impact on earnings of charges resulting from matters unrelated to our ongoing operations; and
•Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently from us, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA and the related financial ratios should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information. See our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Press Release. However, in spite of the above limitations, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and the related financial ratios are useful to an investor in evaluating our results of operations because these measures:
•Are widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such terms, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;
•Help investors to evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure from our operating performance; and
•Are used by our management team for various other purposes in presentations to our Board of Directors as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.
The following financial items have been added back to or subtracted from our net income when calculating Adjusted EBITDA:
•Interest expense. Iteris excludes interest expense because it does not believe this item is reflective of ongoing business and operating results. This amount may be useful to investors for determining current cash flow.
•Income tax. This amount may be useful to investors because it represents the taxes which may be payable for the period and the change in deferred taxes during the period, and may reduce cash flow available for use in our business.
Page 6 of 7
•Depreciation. Iteris excludes depreciation expense primarily because it is a non-cash expense. These amounts may be useful to investors because it generally represents the wear and tear on our property and equipment used in our operations.
•Amortization. Iteris incurs amortization of intangible assets in connection with acquisitions. Iteris also incurs amortization related to capitalized software development costs. Iteris excludes these items because it does not believe that these expenses are reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts may be useful to investors because it represents the estimated attrition of our acquired customer base and the diminishing value of product rights.
•Stock-based compensation. These expenses consist primarily of expenses from employee and director equity based compensation plans Iteris excludes stock-based compensation primarily because they are non-cash expenses and Iteris believes that it is useful to investors to understand the impact of stock-based compensation to its results of operations and current cash flow.
•Restructuring charges. These expenses consist primarily of employee separation expenses, facility termination costs, and other expenses associated with Company restructuring activities. Iteris excludes these expenses as it does not believe that these expenses are reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts may be useful to our investors in evaluating our core operating performance.
•Project loss reserves. These expenses consist primarily of expenses incurred to complete a software development contract that will not be recoverable and largely related to previously incurred and capitalized costs for non-recurring engineering activity. Iteris excludes these expenses as it does not believe that these expenses are reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts may be useful to our investors in evaluating our core operating performance.
•Executive severance and transition costs. Iteris excludes executive severance and transition costs because it does not believe that these expenses are reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts may be useful to our investors in evaluating our core operating performance.
